Two problems with latest beta 1.90 (build 537u) in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Overall I am very happy with ObjectDock Plus but I have two minor grievances that I would like to report. I am sorry if this is reported before but the forums are very slow for me and I don't have the patience to browse for similar reports. I am using Windows XP SP2 with all the latest patches applied. I have created a small dock which only shows the systray contents in the lower right corner. This is the dock that is behaving a bit strangely. <span style="font-weight: bold;

Object Dock Plus Licence in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hi All! I recently bought Object Dock Plus and now I am wondering if it is allowed to install it on more than one computer? I have a vague memory that you were allowed to do that with GalCiv as long as you were not running the copies simultaneously. I can't seem to find it anywhere but I guess that it is right under my nose. Thanks

And now each turn I put an Agent against that largest race to hamper their production. They have no hope of killing my agents now because my economy is way larger than their economy, and they are at war. That seems like a great use of espionage. Lots of fun, and very effective. Also, once you have one Agent you can use the Agent to slow down production on enemy planets where they are producing the same sort of unique building that you are also in

Also anyone know if spying is a minus in terms of relationship with the other empire? I would think it is but haven't been able to keep spies out long enough to see if the reported status effects change at all. I would like to know that as well. Does anyone know?

Bingjack, you expressed it so much better than I did. For me Espionage now seems to be a cross with the old destabilization (how do you spell that?)feature and the old spying functionality seasoned with additional micromanagement. Is there a way to get the spies to work in a non-destructive manner? I would like to get information on my allies or my potential allies as well but I do not want to penalize their production doing so.

This is really helpful in making me coming up with a pickup line for this weekend. - "For the sake of Sweden, Europe and our entire Western civilization, lets go home and make babies."

Played my first game of DA yesterday and it was great fun! I just keeps getting better and I already thought it hard to improve on GC on OS/2 back in the day. However, even if I liked all the new stuff I found the Espionage change tedious. I saw the option of editing one of the configuration files in another thread but would it be possible to have a switch instead? Or should I just give

Reply to Europe on the Brink of Takeover? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I have read through most of this discourse and find it very interesting. Perhaps a bit too toxic for my taste and as a European I also find it a bit depressing. I live in Sweden where many muslims have immigrated during the past 20 years. Mostly from war zones as Bosnia and Iraq. I can't say that I can relate to any of the doom and gloom. The muslims I know and work with are kind and gentle people and even though none of them are as secular a

My take on IE 7 and Firefox 2.0 in Windows Software JoeUser Forums

I have been running both IE7 and Firefox for a while now but lately I have gone back to using Firefox almost exclusively again. Functionalitywise the programs are quite similar but there are some compelling features that makes me stick with Firefox. Rendering speeds seem equivalent on my hardware. - Instantaneous back and forward buttons. Many argues t

Reply to Learning a third language in Misc JoeUser Forums

I guess you are right, nothing can replace speaking with someone else mano a mano. I am thinking about travelling to Chile and Ecuador in August so I will get a bit practice then too. I would like to go a bit more prepared, though. Thank you for your tips!

Learning a third language in Misc JoeUser Forums

For the last five years or so I have found myself willing to learn a third language. Too bad that I lacked that ambition in high school when I more or less slept through the Spanish lessons, but I guess that you are never too old to start anew. Since I studied Spanish in high school and since I made a trip in latin america for two months last year, I have d

Reply to RAID 0 and defragmentation in PC Hardware WinCustomize Forums

One thing to keep in mind if you are new to RAID and RAID 0 in particular. Make sure you keep backups of ALL your important data. With a RAID 0 array any disk issues will result in the loss of ALL of your data on BOTH disks. There's no way to get the data back unless you are willing to spend the money to send it for professional recovery. Tha

Hahaha! Thank you all and Dr Guy. I defrag very regularly on my other machines but I have never had a Raid 0 laptop (or whatever you can call an 8.1 machine).

RAID 0 and defragmentation in PC Hardware JoeUser Forums

I recently acquired a DELL XPS M2010 which is quite sweet despite initial memory problems. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m2010?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19 One thing that just came to my mind was if the disks should be defragmented. It has two harddrives and runs RAID 0. Would defragmenting be a good or a bad thing?

Reply to Installing Ubuntu Dapper Drake on my laptop in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

TheD2JBug: I can understand that. Sorry that it did not work for you. I was simply amazed with how well it worked for me, more or less out of the box. My other installation experiences have been a lot worse. Have you tried Automatix or EasyUbuntu to install MP3-support? dagwd: I was considering testing Easy Ubuntu but Automatix did its work nicely. Have seen others recommending Easy Ubuntu as well. Thank you for your comments
