I vote necromancer.

I'll have to read children of time next tho as I haven't read it yet. Currently reading through anathem.

Samsung excavator = Volvo excavator. Samsung is just relabeling the Volvos.

Star control 2 was the absolute best imo

If you eat enough you will eventually develop gold plated poo 4-12 hours later, and I think that is something!

I met my future wife in irc in 1994. In 1996 she moved from where she was to my state, and then in 2000 we got married, and have been ever since. The Internet was way different back then. I tell that to anyone using one of the current/past crop of dating apps.

You can't do this on Linux anymore either. Unless you are on a way out of date system, you need to add the --no-preserce-root flag as well. And I think it still prompts you to make sure it is really want you want to do.

I mean, there is nothing stopping you from installing whatever version of the library that is required in tandem with the latest version. You could even put it somewhere other then a standard library location and start executing your binary with

LD=/my/old/library ./myoodbinary

and have it dynamically loaded at runtime.

The only time this doesn't work is when it is something in the kernel that breaks the binary... But you can run an older kernel that has back ported fixed.

I get where you are coming from with proprietary binarys that the devs have abandon. But to me that makes all the more reason not to run that software in the first place.

Edit: also the kobo desktop Windows app runs under wine I think...

Define old binary. The a.out and elf format haven't changed in a very long time. If you mean something from an old system with unmet dependencies, it will run, but it will crash and warn you that some library isn't found. It will still run up until that point tho.

Not music persay but I have been listening to a lot of the "salute the sample" segments by ll cool j on YouTube. Its a pretty cool dive into the samples that drive hip-hop.

One of the best I have ever played which falls into adventure, puzzle, RPG, strategy , and open world is probably star control 2, the urquan masters. It has an amazingly well crafted story, the music is great, and a bunch of different aspects to the game play. This still is one of my favorite games of all time
