Reply to Suggestions for ObjectDock Plus in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

mdawson69: If I'm not mistaken, you can do what you're describing: In OD+, you can insert partitions or placeholders in a dock or use tabbed docks to accomplish the same thing (i.e., each tab is for a particular kind of program). I'm also pretty sure, although I haven't tinkered with it in a while (still working out the 64-bit issues, I believe) that you can reorder items in a dock as much as you'd like. Maybe one of our OD gurus can weigh in on this. . . . &nbs

Reply to Could the beta program be an experience unto itself? in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

For what it's worth, because I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I won't be pre-ordering Elemental, I believe that an extended beta is a great idea. (I'm not pre-ordering primarily for financial reasons; I'm actually rather fond of this genre.) In any case, I think that the kind of hand-in-hand development that can occur by truly incorporating the beta testers into the development cycle of the product can only lead to a superior and more polished (and less buggy) finished p

I think everybody would probably be better served if they kept their fingers out of each other's respective pies. Each one has something that they do fairly well. They should work on improving that. In any case, I can't see a Google OS taking a huge marketshare from Windows anytime soon, either.

Patched Saints Row 2 is better than GTA in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Recently, I completed the single-player story mode in Saints Row 2 and I have to say, while many criticized the marketing by THQ comparing it to Grand Theft Auto IV , I had a lot more fun with this game than I have with any GTA game I've played before. In fairness, I haven't played the latest iteration in that series, but if it's very similar to the others, and I can't believe it isn't, then I'll stand by my statement. Of course, the Saints Row </e

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="25" id="2271601"] 1) Valve will not deliver additional content for the originalThere's no indication they will do so. They haven't done so yet, and they're already releasing a sequel. Also, the player base will quickly drop as soon as the sequel hits. At best, I'd hope they'd backport a feature or two from the sequel. 2) modders will not mod for the originalI'd have to agree with Vinraith here. If the sequel is supposed to have all the same stuff and

[quote who="Vinraith" reply="19" id="2271439"] Can you explain what content Valve promised that isn't being delivered? Gabe Newell explicitly promised "more campaigns, more characters, and more weapons." We've seen none of those. As an added bonus, L4D2 undermines the yet-to-be-released SDK for L4D, since modders will be loathe to put effort into mods for a game that will be out of date in a few months. Split the playing community, split the modding community, and

[quote who="zndkwin" reply="12" id="2271393"]Yes, but the problem is that the game shipped in a half finished state, and Valve promised more updates, as well as content for it, without mentioning the final SDK. Now, will they actually keep their promises? It's a big question with the new game on the way.

I'm still unclear as to why people are so upset. Valve has stated that they don't intend to interrupt the support cycle for the original product while the sequel is in production. People knew what they were buying when they bought it. Vinraith said: [quote who="Vinraith" reply="9" id="2271360"] people are just pissed because they feel like they are entitled to free shit.
