First was on an Atari, I think. You play this guy whose spaceship crashes on a planet. The very first scene involves swimming out of your wrecked spaceship before some tentacles grab you. Then you are up on the shore of the lake. You have to move fast or the tentacles will reach out of the water behind you and drag you back into the water. There are some kind of horrible snake/worm things in this first scene as well.
The second was on the Amiga. It is a vertical scrolling platform game. I think it is set on Mars and you play one of two little creatures who are searching for water. There are signs everywhere saying "H2O".
Any ideas? Horatio Snickers ( talk) 10:59, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
Is it possible to limit searches in Windows Explorer (on Win7) to exact file-name matches? By default when searching for, say, file.ext, it seems to find anything that matches *file*.*ext* Rojomoke ( talk) 16:16, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
A non-profit is looking for someone to create a rather complicated web site. My guess is that it would take an experienced programmer at least 3 months to create it. As the budget is really small (a few thousand dollars at most) I was wondering if there are reliable websites to find freelancers directly at "Bangalore rates", without having to pay for managers, etc. I could do the managing, but I don't have 3 months holiday at hand.. Any ideas? Joepnl ( talk) 23:04, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
There is an NSA-produced video on the polygraphing process:
While an NSA-produced video is public domain, it also uses very short excerpts of footage from copyrighted TV shows: Meet the Parents and The Simpsons So, does this mean, for it to be posted on the Commons, the footage of the TV shows has to be cut out (I assume yes, but just making sure)? How should I download the video and do the editing? WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
