Putting a minus/hyphen before a word in the Google search bar will return results excluding that word.

E.g. Googling these terms gets different results, with and without the excluded term
"pc faqs" https://goo.gl/MT9BQm
"pc faqs -gamefaqs" https://goo.gl/Pc7dNH

I suppose you could use this method to omit a certain journalist or website, but you would also lose results that just mention those terms in their journalism.

MAC games as of System 7.5


uh oh

You're going to run into two different sets of executable code - one for older 68k Mac hardware, and one for PPC hardware. If the game was made as a "fat binary" with both sets included, you can use either SheepShaver for the PPC side or something like Basilisk for the 68k side (your choice - I haven't really tested either in a very long time). SheepShaver would probably be the better choice.

Because of how classic Mac OS handles emulation between the two at the kernel level, it has native backwards compatibility with little to no performance loss. Pretty cool if you own the actual hardware, but a real pain in the butt if you're trying to get old software to work on a modern Windows machine.

SheepShaver looks like the software you need to get Mac games running, although I have no idea why you would want to.


I'm guessing you're an Apple nerd by your username lol


I'm really not. I used this name way before Apple was as popular as they are now. I much prefer PC's, but that's another discussion.

DOSBox for the vast majority of MS-DOS games.

VirtualBox let's you install pretty much any OS and run it through Windows. It's worked for me a few times with Windows 3.1 exclusive games that I can't get to run in DOSBox or later versions of Windows.

Welcome to the Internet

The term "deeded" isnt really used outside of CE. It's a dumb ass term that was made up after people got warned for using the word "fap". CE chose that cringy shit for reasons I dont know


VERY cringy.

I'm a veteran of /b/ and I have never heard this cringe.

There is no law that they could possibly make that would stop people from finding out the identity of every school shooter. Even if every news organization in the US just up and agreed to just not releasing the names and all held that agreement, people would still find out because of facebook, twitter, Instagram and etc.


They don't have to. They just don't have to say his name in media broadcasts so less people learn the murderer's name and he wont get much fame.


hahaha

You think when everyone and their grandmother uses the internet that the shooter wouldn't "get much fame" if they didn't say his name on TV?

That's pretty funny


My grandmother is dead.


Sorry for your loss, but you saying that was completely irrelevant. His post wasn't directed specifically at you or your grandmother, and that phrase is just meant to mean "most people" not literally every person and every grandmother.


But my grandmother is dead.

Shooting survivors are not infallible and can sometimes be blinded by grief.


Also, being a student at a school where a shooting happened, or even being an actual victim of a shooting doesn't make a person an expert on policy.

Never got in to Source or GO. Still play CS1.6 occasionally.

Uh for Guinness it's not supposed to be foamy. If poured correctly from tap, it's supposed to be filled about halfway then you let it sit till the foam sets then you top it off. It takes a good 3 mins to prepare the beer.

Exactly, your guys bartenders don't know how to pour and thats why you dont know what Guinness actually tastes like. I was in the F&B industry for 14 years and bartended for 8, I think I know what I'm talking about.

And I've had properly poured Guinness and I've had stout. To call Guinness a stout is a joke.


You've not had a decent pint of Guinness until you've drank it in Dublin. It doesn't travel well. If you want a Guinness anywhere outside of Ireland you're better having their bottled Porter.
