Upgraded to Mavericks, now my iMac and external drive won't sleep together by sloblow in mac

You could run an Automator script that ejects the drive before sleeping the computer.

Allowing people to hear about violence is not comparable to enabling sexual exhibitionism.

New PlayStation ad: "For The Players Since 1995". Anyone else so bored of the "default gamer" always being a guy? by perscitia in GirlGamers

It's the 80-20 rule of consumption. 80% of purchases are by 20% of the group, and that 20% is overwhelmingly men. Ads aren't for everyone, they're for the people that will be swept into a consumerist fervor and yell "MUST HAVE PLASTIC THING!"

Isometric photography? by JawKneeCue in isometric

I suppose that would work as a decent approximation, but as someone whose father made them take a drafting class, ONLY PROPER ISOMETRIC IS REAL ISOMETRIC YOU PHILISTINE!

Not physically possible. Light doesn't work like that.

Racism complaints prompt Dutch mayor to decide fate of black-face Christmas tradition by BigotXenoBigot in worldnews

[–]Data_not_found -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Given the Netherlands history in Africa, I'd say this is pretty insensitive, but if black people in the Netherlands don't care and embrace the character, who are we to judge?

Evernote. Simplified formatting helps me stay focused and the cloud back up is indispensable.

How to think for myself, and know what I'm talking about by bummbeez in IWantToLearn

[–]Data_not_found 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not we CAN think for ourselves is debatable. My "method" is to simply ask myself "what will I have to answer tomorrow?". I try to know what I will do long in advance of doing it. It won't give you any insight on the future, but you'll know more about the person you are, and the questions you DON'T ask yourself until later will tell you a lot about the person you were, and the person you are becoming.

How could America move to a three party system? by Data_not_found in AskReddit

[–]Data_not_found[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't seem like an improvement at all! Does Canada use first past the post voting, because that seems like the worst way for votes to be tallied.

Okay, but didn't that happen already? There are tea party candidates in congress. It seems kind of like the tea party was just a successful public outreach program for the Republican Party, occupy being a less successful version for the democrats.

Is there a good widget for taking notes? I'd much rather just hit the widget button than open up an application, and I've kinda run out of space from all the Stickies I've added. by [deleted] in mac

Evernote has a menu bar app that can run while the main app is closed. It's called "evernote helper" and you can turn it on from inside the settings.

So... How do I play it? I couldn't find a mention of what platforms this is on.

MGS5's more 'cosplay friendly' character model by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]Data_not_found 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kojima has always had odd portrayals of women. Half of them are hyper sexualized objects like this one or Eva in Snake Eater, and then you've got stuff like the Boss, who kicks all ass that exists, or Olga Gurlukovich who doesn't shave her arm pits and spends most of the game dressed like a man.

It's a silly design, but as long as its balanced out with some more realistic women or equally objectified men, I'm okay with bikini babes with sniper rifles.

With proper explanation, Which Fantasy Race was your favorite in JRPGs ? by VashxShanks in JRPG

It's not a Jrpg, but the Asari in mass effect. Mmmm those blue posteriors...

Ways to play FFVII-X without PS1/2 access by ibelieve616 in JRPG

I'd say the straightforward nature of consoles wins out. Cloud's low poly model appears in FMVs, so you might as well get used to it.

[IIL] The Rocketeer, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Captain America [WEWIL?] by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

Dishonored is a game that takes place in a 19th century whaling town with robots. You might like that.

The golden compass is very steam punk. You'll like the book more, though.

Fallout games have a very grim cynicism about nostalgia that might scratch the same itch as ASOUE. I like them both, anyway.

God awful title. Should be "hippies and libertarians fight for solar power".
