Q: Identify this mid-90's PC flight sim

I estimate this came out around 1995. It came as part of a packaged set of games of about 10 games, and I'm fairly certain you couldn't get individually. Most of the games in this set were Disney learning games. One game that stood out was this flight simulator. This fact may be the main iden...

Valve is giving us a chance to launch Portal 2 early!
http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/

Remember the Potato Sack? GlaDOS is apparently drawing "power" from computers playing games in the potato sack. For every collective 48 hours for one particular game, that game's "power bar" goes up by 1%. And Steam needs to record you actually playing the game - just leaving something idling in the background does not contribute.

The potatoes we all frantically collected can still be collected - in fact, you are a major contributor if you even collect one potato in one game. Potatoes multipl…

apparently.

In which case, I shall go find some potatoes.

Also, I don't agree with the maths behind that anyway.

@ThomasMcDonald If this is true, Defense Grid's power will be ridiculously high, as it has 6 potatoes.

I wonder if it's normalised based on how many people were playing it when glados@home started.

This is the best line out of any of the terrible Atlas Shrugged reviews.

Because it says so much about how terrible the film is, without making any value judgments about it whatsoever.

Though Peter Travers' line of:

FallenAngelEyes

@Lesspop That's the only book I've ever read that I was unable to finish

> Ayn Rand's monumental 1,168-page, 1957 novel gets the low-budget, no-talent treatment and sits there flapping on screen like a bludgeoned seal.

is certainly more vicious.

@FallenAngelEyes There's a movie now. The reviews are universally terrible, as expected.

But they're pretty hilariously brutal.

See aforementioned Travers quote.

Or Ebert:

> The dialogue seems to have been ripped throbbing with passion from the pages of Investors’ Business Daily. Much of the excitement centers on the tensile strength of steel.

> The movie is constructed of a few kinds of scenes: (1) People sipping their drinks in clubby surroundings and exchanging dialogue that sounds like corporate lingo; (2) railroads, and lots of ’em; (3) limousines driving through cities in ruin and arriving at ornate buildings; (4) city skylines; (5) the beauties of Colorado.

FallenAngelEyes

Her writing can pretty much be summed up as "Capitalism good, communism bad." There, I saved you slogging through hours of bland, repetitive, painfully mind-numbing text.

> There is also a love scene, which is shown not merely from the waist up but from the ears up. The man keeps his shirt on. This may be disappointing for libertarians, who I believe enjoy rumpy-pumpy as much as anyone.

@Wipqozn It's still mid-day on a work day in North America... I wouldn't count things out yet.

OK, count things out is wrong in this context, but there's also a small window of time where part of North America is past the work day while parts of Europe haven't yet gone to bed.

Q: Minecraft: Damage to boats

Boats take damage when they run into things. But does it matter what it runs into? Does it take less damage running into dirt than, say, cobblestone for instance? I know soul sand doesn't hurt boats, but is there a more mundane material recommended for building docks? Also, does it only take dam...

@Feeds I'm confused about that edit. I'm even more confused about the edit summary.

Chewing gum lasts as long as it lasts when you're imparting thought and stress into its rubbery existence. When you're too Johnny Depp in thought, it no longer resembles gum, but this gloriously faint collection of fibres that otherwise serves no purpose other than to join the red meat in the colon.
