For some reason, I started wondering whether something like these would be recognizable on this forum? How many people here would know or could guess what these are (for)? Pictures: Spoiler your answers - and if you did some research to find the answer, mention that too. :)

So... Estonian parliament is currently debating a "partnership law" that would grant state recognition to same-sex couples. Stephen Fry wrote a column about it, if anyone wants to read...

I'm still seeing Christmas-themed smileys. I was never a fan of them, but it is mid-March already. Can we get rid of them before midsummer? Or is it possibly down to my own failures to properly adjust my account settings or something?

... I could play with my son, about to turn 5 in few weeks? I'd like him to be able to manage somewhat on his own: he can (given unlimited money) run a pretty nice zoo in Zoo Tycoon 2 or JPOG and he likes to wander around in Skyrim (God Mode on, AI combat and AI detection off). Still he does...

Presumably, human psyche has a sort of self-defense mechanism whereby we try to convince ourselves that certain unpleasant reality, which we are unable to change, is actually pleasant/useful. "This is no dark cloud, mostly just silver lining!" kind of thinking, coupled with readiness to believe...

As some folks may remember there was a thread here sometime last May about Presidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia's Interests As the wiki page aptly sums up: It seems, however, that the Commission may have been a...

IGN article (below) Announcement Trailer This will certainly make it into my "most anticipated games in 2011" list...is it a coincidence that this is already the second one based on Polish novel? :think:

Today I managed to get my comp infected with Antivirus 8 somehow. Instantly realizing it is a scam, I tried to get rid of it ASAP. F-Secure I initially used didn't identify it, so I first installed PC Tools Spyware Doctor and then Malwarebytes. Both reportedly found the offender and cleaned...

I foolishly agreed to translate a science article for a friend. However, it seems to me that this either contains an obvious mistake or that I'm a moron. The article: http://insciences.org/article.php?article_id=9250 The sentence under question: Now, isn't 22% something like ~30% increase...

I recently watched Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland and found the ending where she becomes the "pioneer" in trading with China hilarious. As we all know what was the main commodity the British sold to the Chinese, did anyone else think "so, is it a subtle hint the entire previous movie was...

This is split off from another thread. Depending on what that is supposed to mean, that could be pretty correct. I mean, most of the people who've ever self-identified as Christians probably have held more beliefs originating from various pagan creeds than anything else.

Preview at Gamespot here: I am literally drooling. :drool: EDIT: First Dev Diary EDIT2: This is quite likely the best thing that Poland has contributed to the world, ever.

We've found 99 results I started to wonder what the abbreviation stands for and decided to google it. This produced some humorous results, I thought I'd share them. :D Pick your favorite - or can you even think of one not in the list? :goodjob:

Hi! I just discovered something has been sending junkmail from my hotmail account to random people whom I luckily don't know. I rarely use that account, and hadn't looked at "sent" folder for ages - only noticed because I just received some "delivery failed" notifications. Any advice how to...

The article I need to give some thought about... Eh...discuss?

I have about a year and a half old computer which has recently developed a strange startup problem. When I push the power button, the power light comes on and the fan starts, but the hard drive light remains dead, and no "beep" which usually signals it has started to boot up, can be heard...

Just thought I'd boast a little and share one of my funnest games so far... Yes, I am playing as The Knights - and no, I did not cheat, except for some reloading. Difficulty is normal, no game rules have been altered. In addition to what can be seen on the screenshot, I own Gotland and Fyn -...

http://www.cyanide-studio.com/?rub=node&nid=806 A game that could live up to the awesomeness of the books would make history. This is, of course, too good to hope for, so I would settle even for mediocre hacknslasher set in Westeros! :drool: EDIT: From Martin's blog it appears we can expect...

This thread has been started to stop hijacking "Moldova in Crisis" thread with discussion that started between red_elk, luceafarul, Formaldehyde and myself here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=7975048&postcount=164 To clarify my own position a little bit, I will say that I...
