My screensaver. Why isnt this a built in feature? by MrDrummondin nook

[–]cdwillis 3 points4 points ago

There's no setting to automatically using the cover of the book you're currently reading as your screensaver, which is what BurntSnow was implying. I'm pretty sure everyone here is aware you can download book covers and put them in your wallpapers folder for custom wallpapers.

The Foreclosure Settlement Seals it - the Gov is Bought and Paid For. Now is the perfect time to Occupy TV stations by truthwillout777in occupywallstreet

I agree, but I don't understand how the bankers tricked people into loans they couldn't afford? Wouldn't the people need to be looking at housing and then go to the bank for a home loan in the first place? How often is a person going to be approached by a bank offering a home mortgage? I'm not trying to placate the banking elite, but the homeowners should have some degree of responsibility for taking on loans they couldn't afford.

Has anyone else seeing an improvement in gaming since 10.7.3? by Erif_Neergin macgaming

Unfortunately this update hasn't fixed the freezing issue that Civilization V has with the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics.

I'm really surprised that Marx isn't the largest word in the cloud.

Don't worry, we'll have all the time in the nursing home to play it when it finally comes out.

Is Final Fantasy Tactics the magnum opus of the Strategy/Tactical RPG? If not, what is? by burgabunzin rpg_gamers

[–]cdwillis 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, how are they going to put Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance in second place. It was ok, but the kiddy feel was very disappointing.

What is one thing you've always wanted to do, but haven't? by cdwillisin AskReddit

[–]cdwillis[S] 0 points1 point ago

A good friend of mine went skydiving for the first time last year. I'm not the daredevil type, but neither is he. He said it was the coolest thing he's ever done. I'd never considered doing it until he raved about it. It sucks to have unrealized dreams.

Favorite games on OSX? by jpr123in macgaming

[–]cdwillis 0 points1 point ago

Point and click adventure games similar to the old King's Quest games, though more modern. The voice acting is very good. The guy playing Marty is obviously not Michael J. Fox, but he sounds like Marty, and they even got Christopher Lloyd to reprise Doc. So far I've only beaten the first one. I liked it quite a bit, though it was short. There are a total of five games, I think you can get them in a set (I bought them all together in a Steam sale).

I think we should directly challenge the idea that capitalism "has won" by level1in socialism

It's hard to ascertain how much the Cuban revolution and subsequent government has worked out due to various conflicting sources. They have the highest doctor to patient ratio in the world, but they also suffer shortages of medical supplies. They are the only nation in the world that meets sustainable grow standards and they grow their food without fertilizers and pesticides, but at the same time I've read that they import 80% of their food.

Lately I've been playing Civilization V. It's awesome, but sadly there is a bug with the Intel HD3000 on the OS X version where the game just freezes after a random amount of turns (usually between 60-90). Before that I was playing Half-Life 2, the Back to the Future games, Machinarium, Portal 1 & 2, etc.

Chief Inspector: "we have 32,000 in our gang. It's called the Metropolitan Police." by brunt2in WikiLeaks

Maybe I missed something, but what does this have to do with Wikileaks?

Goodbye, state funding for California libraries by snarkypantsin TrueReddit

Not every book has a digital version floating around nor is it possible yet to access every digitized book.

Chomsky on Leninism by cdwillisin communism

[–]cdwillis[S] 5 points6 points ago

He's an very vocal critic of the United States military hegemony. I don't think it holds much water.

We may not have the money or opportunity but we do have the time. (x post from /r/lostgeneration) by LoserVanin TrueReddit

[–]cdwillis 12 points13 points ago

This is interesting, but I don't think this is a submission for truereddit.

Chomsky on Leninism by cdwillisin communism

[–]cdwillis[S] 4 points5 points ago

I thought him calling it a coup was disingenuous. It's correct in the definition, but linguistically it conjures an image of a small group of people taking over and subjugating the majority. I posted these really to have a discussion about it. I figured someone more knowledgeable than I am would speak up about any inaccuracies. I have a great deal of respect for Chomsky, but the layers of history he goes through when describing political movements or motivations makes it difficult for me to digest his rhetoric and argue against him.
