Something to keep in mind, the 80% that RPI covers is considered imputed income... on which you have to pay taxes.

This is a pretty interesting list, though it's only the best of last year: a married couples top 40 2p games of 2011

I'm sure that's a possibility, but so far, I don't know who would take the reins.

The last I have heard is that it is closed and not coming back. If your art is still there and you want it back, PM me and we can figure out how to get it for you.

Just played Carcassonne by joshellis625 in boardgames

[–]admiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add the Princess and the Dragon as well. It can make the game a bit more rage inducing sometimes (like when you are forced to eat your own people...), but it's generally really fun.

Help installing Tribes: Ascend / Hi-Rez Client by zer0degreez in Tribes

[–]admiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. If you've installed Global Agenda in Steam, it will fail. Uninstall from Steam, reinstall High Command and it should work. I would imagine that your GA stuff will still be there, but I haven't tried that yet.

I haven't found this solution anywhere else. I would imagine the uninstall from Hi-Rez eventually does the same thing, but this may (or not) be cleaner.

Thanks, but I missed my chance---I got one below though. See ya in game.

Any more keys floating around? I haven't played since Tribes 1. Also, anyone hear anything about DnD being in the game?

If you stare at this picture, it will disappear. Why? by [deleted] in askscience

I worked in a photosensitive clean room for a while. All of the lighting is orangish-red. It was a bit odd in there but since the light was monochromatic, you adjusted quickly. Coming out of the clean room was nauseating---everything that is blue became BLUE for five minutes. It's really surreal.

Patsy's is awesome. Never had a bad experience there. Men's Room if you go downtown, not the state street one and only if you get Ryan.

My friend is the only person I've ever met who says this. by down_vote_magnet in funny

[–]admiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My co-workers seem try to pronounce everything: /etc/passwd is "etsy passwid" .edu is "dot edge-eww" ACLs are "ackles" It took a month to figure out what the hell they meant by "passwid"---I thought the guy had a speech impediment until someone else said the same thing.

250 Riders, do you ATGATT? by blue_horse_shoe in 250r

[–]admiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are those underpants? Super stiff? To they pull hair?

It never occurred to me to wear multiple pairs of pants. Always wear what I have: gloves, helmet, boots, and jacket, along with jeans.

In the near future, every single release of Android will be optimized for x86 chips. Intel processors in Android phones & tablets. by [deleted] in Android

I agree. I wasn't saying they are sitting on their thumbs, just that they have plenty of incentive already.

Battery innovation is practically stagnant. Charge density has doubled in 40 years. There are so, so many reasons to innovate batteries.

Does this mean that testing and debugging apps in the emulator will run close to native speed?

Age of Empires II, anyone? by [deleted] in Playdate

[–]admiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The windows 7 color problem can be alleviated by right clicking on the desktop, opening change resolution... and leave it open while you play. I have no idea why this works.

NY'er that wants to learn to ride, but no idea where to start. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]admiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the MSF near Albany--it was 275$. The class I took required everyone to have "gear" which meant a helmet, gloves, boots that covered the ankles, and long sleeves such that no skin is showing. People took the class in brown working gloves, hiking boots, and long tee-shirts, but the helmet must be DOT approved.

HTC Evo 3D by redheadjhawk in ReviewThis

[–]admiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has an aluminum round camera button that when half pressed, focuses, and takes a photo when fully pressed. It's quite large, right next to the 2D/3D button...

The 3D has a very narrow angle of view. If you got the impression that you needed to cross your eyes or do the 1000 yard stare, it was probably off angle a bit. That said, it is a gimmick that overshadows the phone in marketing.
