Get my points off Facebook
Hey all, I've been playing FB Dip for some time (oldschool phpDiplomacy), but have lost interest. Since I'm starting from scratch again here, I was wondering whether it's possible to transfer my thousand odd points from FB Dip to here? It's not the same community, but it is the same platform. Possible or no?

What has Curiosity found on Mars? - A poll (definitely not a +1 scam)
It's common knowledge that this forum is home to some of the most intelligent lifeforms in the Milky Way. To harness this incredible brainpower for the good of mankind, we should use the power of crowdsourcing to predict groundbreaking events in advance, so as to buy people time to prepare for them. By utilizing the best social networking invention ever, the +1, we can accurately conclude which opinion prevails in the webDip community.

The Importance of Being Diplomatic
With all the chest-pounding that goes on around here about who's a better player than who, it seems clear that some people place far too much emphasis on what goes on on this site, to the point of tying their performance to their overall feelings of self-worth.

URGENT Mac
My Mac keeps telling me I have a problem with disk space. I only watch videos with this thing, streaming that is, and write documents for work. How the hell did it fill up 700 GO?!?

Have a look on your hard disk and see what's there?
redhouse1938 (429 D)
22 Nov 12 UTC
Yeah so I advanced a bit in solving the problem, apparently it saved 700 GOs of emails (it must have made endless copies of my emails while it did that) and I'm now having trouble saving ordinary documents (that I desperately need for work) to my disk. I have never seen something quite like it, I think it's the digital analog of a tumor..

Okay thanks lol. Looks like the most important part of the problem is solved...

Digital analog. That is so funny.

But what Jamie said, junk that PoS Mac and its proprietary everything and buy a PC.

Sorry if the disease comparison was insensitive, I was a little desperate as some of my files are very important to me (both personal and business). I've got back ups now.

I just found the use of analog and digital to be humorous. Copper phone lines found in the typical home usually operate with an analog signal. AM and FM radio are.both analog. So that was funny. In the US we typically call a comparison an analogy.
tswett (100 D)
22 Nov 12 UTC
The noun "analog" is defined as "something that bears an analogy to something else", so as far as I know, redhouse1938's usage of the word is typical everywhere.
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Nov 12 UTC
Oh it is valid, just less common usage than the noun analogy. In my field we commonly refer tobanalog and digital communications so you can see why it tickled my funny bone.

All I know is I read "digital analog" and all I could think of was how complicated DACs are.

@redhouse, have you scanned for viruses and malware? I know Macs supposedly are less of a target for such, but I assume there is still bad stuff out there.

My suggestion is: make sure you have a backup scheduled periodically and delete what you don't need.

My suggestion is to build a new machine and install Linux on it. Also try keeping your email online, cloud storage is much simpler.

+1 to ghug for the cloud reference. Both my corporate and draugnar.com emails are kept on the server and periodically archived to a terrabyte USB drive.

New Gunboat
So, as was mentioned in the Last Person to Post thread, my husband and I are looking to play a gunboat game together. Obviously there'd be no meta-gaming, but wanted you guys to be aware. So who's up... it would be relatively low stakes, WTA and no quicker then 24 hour phase.. can be longer phases if needed.

So any takers..

Didn't get a third build.
In the game http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=104456, I am South Africa. I should have gotten three builds this spring. I had it set up to do a Fleet in San (antarctica), a fleet in South Africa, and a army in Namibia. The two fleets were built correctly, but the army was not built. I had the options for all three and I am positive I had it set up right, but only two were built. Please fix this.
