... a big scream was heard, as if a thousand hours had suddenly been lost.

My very own Linux city!

why it is that commercial zones placed more than a certain distance to the left of the city center never developed. I wonder if it was some kind of subtle political commentary on how leftist policy hurts business or something.

Now, if they will only open-source that dark brown piece of paper with the glyphs printed in black on it...

Who would have known? Thanks for the warning I almost got close to maybe think about clicking the link, you saved me!

The godless atheist Linux crowd can now eliminate the 1 line of code that creates a tornado every time you bulldoze a church.

Why all the effort to port to C++ ? C rocks !


It needed to be updated, because it ran too fast on modern hardware.

I guess a new disaster needs to be added: Slashdotting

I don't understand. Wouldn't you want to read it in the original?

That code should never have been there. A realistic simulation would create a bomb every time you bulldoze a mosque.

It had to be done because a bug was found that meant the players could then take any action, and it would have no affect on public mood, aslong as it was justified by the plan crash somehow!

Yes, it'll be great to port Micropolis (SimCity) to embedded devices! I'd like to port it to the TomTom, and hook it up so you can operate the bulldozer or road building tool via GPS, just by driving around!

I couldn't hear you, I was busy watching the NYC episode of the Simpsons and - NOOOOooooooooo...

Hey, dipshit. It doesn't matter if this game only runs at 30000 FPS on your 4 GHz quad-core Core2 Duo just because it uses Python, rather than the 80000 FPS it would achieve were it completely written in C. I mean, your goddamn fucking eyes and brain don't even notice any difference once you exceed 40 FPS. What the hell is wrong with you? Your ignorance of Python makes you look like a shitfool.

What the hell is this Lunix thing that so many keep talking about?

It's GPL, we can add it back.

And we can add in kidnappings and beheadings. Everyone wins!

Bro, you suck at your job.

Lunix [encycloped...matica.com] is one of the most powerful contraceptives evar ....It is an operating system that was the result of really crappy reverse-engineering efforts to create a free version of UNIX. Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox are the perpetrators behind this travesty. Tons of people use it, especially hippies, and no one really likes it except the terminally uncool. Most of them use it in violation of SCO's intellectual property rights. To use Lunix legally, one must pay a $699 license fee to SCO for each processor that runs the Lunix kernel.

I believe I understand.
NeWS is like Lisp, but with PostScript instead of Lisp for programming, PostScript instead of Lisp for rendering, and PostScript instead of S-expressions for data representation.

Yeah, it's the perfect opportunity to teach kids that plane crashes are bad, mkay?

I, for one, would like to welcome Don Hopkins: our sim-hacking overlord.

My personal favorite /. moment was someone telling John Carmack he didn't know what he was talking about.....

Lunix runs on an 8-bit Commodore computer. Programs written in C or in C++ generally don't run fast on 8-bit machines, in part because C and C++ make heavy use of a data type called int, whose size varies from compiler to compiler but must be at least 16 bits.

okay, just what really geeky street do people talk about Xlib, cygwin, and X servers for windows like the latest gossip? I want to find this mythical "geek street" that you're telling me about! Is it the east downtown Tokyo ghetto? IT IS, ISN'T IT!

I imagine that I could probably run things at a pretty low tax rate in a world where a coal power plant costs $3000, and an airport costs $10000, and I can fully fund a police station for $50/year.

I can't afford to pay US$60 for a game

There's nothing wrong with the copy at all. This is just the open source version. To get it working:

1. Reinstall your OS, taking note of which libraries you compile into the kernel and which you merely reference as modules (this will be used later).

2. Scan all the ansi files in the download and replace references to other hardware with the .c files representing those in your own system. Re-Make the game and the installer and install it to a folder accessible by all users on your system, unless you're the only user and have a separate partition for your /usr path and wish to install there.

3. Start the game, turn off sound and network options (don't kid yourself; it's for the best) and start a new game.

4. If it runs too slowly, go back to step one and change the kernel\module mix to something more suitable.

Yes, this was an OSS troll and a superficial attempt at light humour... take a breath, count to ten, then mod me down.

5. Play !!
