Recently, I've been thinking... I've never heard of human milk, or any other human-derived products, being sold at any point in our history, which I find kind of strange. So I wondered if maybe most people would have something against it... Basically, what would your thoughts be on drinking...

If you win by space race and decide to continue playing, will the AI still attempt to build their own spaceship parts?

My mom teaches a course on the working poor, and she came up with a set of statistics that I found interesting. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF), one of the government’s major ways it helps those in financial need...

In the New York Times today is one of the funniest (non-edited) pictures of Bush I've ever seen. It was brought to my attention by my English teacher, who said that as soon as he saw it, he realized that this would be the picture Bush would be remembered by for years to come (or at least by...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is really basic, but... I'm trying to create a text editor. Right now, when I load a file (one line at a time, using BufferedReader's readLine and then TextArea's append), it always scrolls as it appends. Although I use TextArea's setCaretPosition to make it go...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've seen Civ IV's system requirements, and assuming they are true, my Windows computer will just barely meet the minimum system requirements (Windows Me, 256 MB ram, a few gigs of HD space left, 1 GHz at most...) However, I have an eMac that is significantly newer and...

:rotfl: I can't take credit for finding this gem, as it came up in another forum I visit, but it is so funny I almost cried while laughing the first time I read it, and it makes me laugh every time I read it.

For all of you who haven't heard of Rainbow, a kids' show that I'm sure many would describe as "just plain wrong", go here. You won't regret it. Well, actually, you might. :D

When you combine "All your base," well-known songs, and abysmal musicianship, this is what you get.

I have tried playing custom maps in C3C several times. When*ever* there are no set starting locations, and I pick a non-seafaring civ, I start in the same place *every time* - even if I pick a different civ, different difficulty level, different opponents, no cultural starts, or anything...

Try this: Load a game where you're in the Industrial age. Research Steam Power, and move your cursor over the non-researched Ironclads tech. You know how the Science Advisor says a little about the tech your cursor is over? Well, when I try this for Ironclads, it gives me the description for...

This animation made by some Russian guys is in very poor taste at times, but hilarious! Check it out!

Check this out. You check which countries you've been in and it generates a map for you. On the same site, you can do the same thing with U.S. states, Canadian provinces, *and* strictly European countries/territories! Post (or link to) whichever you see fit! :D Here's my world map: Not...

Oh my God... Don't click on that link unless you want to see something truely horrifying. The URL should be warning enough... :eek:

This is too cool. Enter a word or two, and get a slogan! Good fun! Try it out.

I've had this for a long time, but I just thought of posting it. "It," BTW, is a list of signs and notices in other countries that have taken on a much funnier meaning because of their extremely bad translation into English. Take a look: In a Tokyo hotel: Is forbidden to steal hotel towels...

Give me cake now.

There are two potential contradictions in the tech tree that have actually been there since vanilla Civ 3, and I think even in Civ 2. One is that you can research Mathematics in the Ancient Age and build Catapults - before you've researched the Wheel. I've never heard of a mobile catapult w/o...

Now that in C3C fighters and bombers can actually kill units, they can also, like land and naval units, advance to veteran or elite status. But unlike land or naval units, air units don't have a health bar, and since they have no movement points, the retreat percentage means nothing either...

OK, so I pre-ordered C3C, and I got the bonus CD. I just tried it recently, though. Since I knew that DYP is a good mod, I tried that one first. Unfortunately, it was obviously designed for PTW, b/c there's the whole thing w/ getting trait-specific this and that, and nothing about seafaring or...
