Aug 2	comment	Is there ever a reason to have multiple bank accounts? Multiple bank accounts also allows you to have multiple loans. This can be useful if you are just short of buying something you need for your next mission.
Aug 2	comment	How do I make money quickly in Uplink? Just to point out that its much easier if you open a bank account at the target bank first. That way you can edit the logs of both accounts without needing to bypass Uplink Bank's security.
Aug 2	answered	Is the name of the Uplink corporation administrator discoverable?
Aug 2	comment	Is Revelation a good substitute for a self-destruct device? Yes, Revelation v.1 and self destruct are functionally equivalent. This is very useful with the computer with only one security slot!
Aug 1	comment	Why isn't my detector rail igniting my TNT? For some reason this question makes me think of Wyle E Cyote asking for help before returning to the lit TNT...
Jul 31	comment	Is it considered a loss if you logout or close the game during the countdown? @Fadeway in a logical sense "Do you want an apple or an orange", "Yes" is a perfectly valid response. People who do too much computer programming would even suggest the correct response!
Jul 27	comment	Steam ports blocked You run a VPN program, it tunnels your entire connection through to another machine. Once you are running the VPN client, as far as your machine is concerned you are directly connected to the internet via the target machine, as if you were plugged into it by ethernet cable. As far as your local sysadmins are concerned, you are just running an SSH tunnel. Its functionally equivalent to doing the ssh -LPORT:dest:port thing then connecting individual programs to local host, but does all your traffic and easier to configure.
Jul 27	comment	Does creep or do creep tumors give vision? Troll creep tumour blocking an enemy Z from making a hatch is priceless.

Jul 27	comment	What is the optimal number of creep tumors per creep route? Even without overlord speed an overlord can keep up with the speed of creep tumour spread!
Jul 27	comment	What is the optimal number of creep tumors per creep route? @Nick122 Terran will often scan to kill creep in a creep-attack before attacking the zerg base. More tumours means some might survive before the scan runs out, which means they need to scan again etc.
Jul 27	comment	What is the optimal number of creep tumors per creep route? Creep won't spread any faster with 5 tumours than 1 with the overlord, since you can always move the tumour as soon as the CD is up. With only 1 tumour you will be ~30s behind on creep extent around the tumours, but the spread of tumours themselves is the same.

Jul 24	comment	How do you stay alive with Heimerdinger? Its normal to rush level 3 turrets, and then up to you if you want to get 5 quickly or not.
Jul 24	comment	What does MOBA really mean and what characterizes games that belong to that genre? MOBA is just DoTA-type as far as I can tell. LoL like to call it MOBA rather than DoTA-type to build brand differentiation from DoTA2, etc.
Jul 24	comment	Can Terran Medivacs heal allied units? Queens can heal zerg buildings as they are bio, can medivacs heal Zerg buildings too? I've never seen it happen, but haven't tried either. Thinking that a medivac/spine crawler wall might be pretty hard to break!
Jul 24	answered	What can SCVs Repair?
Jul 24	awarded	Citizen Patrol
Jul 20	comment	Can a AI-controlled companion be ordered to take an action? Is there a reason you wrote IA instead of AI (Is it the name L4D2 gives its bots?)
Jul 19	comment	What non-flash abilities can get you out of Jarvan IV's ultimate? Tristana's rocket jump gets you out, but she isn't really top lane normally.
