![]() ![]() This custom may have originated with the China-based Flying Tigers, who were among the first American flyers involved in World War II. Popularization in the United States is generally attributed to the practices of World War II pilots, who used the thumbs up to communicate with ground crews before take-off. ![]() He wrote: "Thumbs up, Tommy’s expression which means ‘everything is fine with me'." A visual example of the British use of "thumbs up" having a positive meaning (or, " okay") from the 1920s can be seen 19 minutes into the British-made silent 1927 film The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, where the younger man examines some paper money for the older man and declares it "good" (not counterfeit) with a "thumbs up" using both hands. Empey was an American who served in the British armed forces during World War I. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the earliest written instance of "thumbs-up" (with a positive meaning) as being from Over the Top, a 1917 book written by Arthur Guy Empey. For example in the seventeenth century, see the Diego Velázquez painting The Lunch.Ģ0th century A truck driver giving a thumb sign in Britain, 1940 Over time, the mere sight of an upraised thumb came to symbolize harmony and kind feelings. ĭesmond Morris in Gestures: Their Origins and Distribution traces the practice back to a medieval custom used to seal business transactions. The term fistmele is a Saxon word that refers to that measurement. This fistmele should be about 7 inches (18 cm), which is about the same as a fist with a thumb extended. Before use, the fistmele (or the "brace height") was checked, that being the distance between the string and the bow on an English longbow. It has been suggested that 'thumbs up' was a signal from English archers preparing for battle that all is well with their bow and they are ready to fight. In modern popular culture, necessarily without a historical basis from Ancient Rome, it is wrongly presumed that "thumbs down" was the signal that a defeated gladiator should be condemned to death "thumbs up", that he should be spared. According to Anthony Corbeill, a classical studies professor who has extensively researched the practice, thumbs up signalled killing the gladiator while "a closed fist with a wraparound thumb" meant sparing him. While it is clear that the thumb was involved, the precise type of gesture described by the phrase pollice verso and its meaning are unclear in the historical and literary record. ![]()

![]() ![]() At the time of writing this script doesn’t deduplicate results and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but it should be close enough to give you an idea how many great games are currently available (though possibly still under development) within ScummVM at the commit point you currently have checked out. This script just needs to be downloaded to the ScummVM source directory and run. Oops …Ī long time ago I reached out to the ScummVM leadership about a script I’d been working on that could be used to scrape detection entries and generate a definitive games list.Īs with most of my ScummVM-related development, this fell by the wayside for a number of years, but recently I’ve rekindled my love of scripting (and Ruby) so I wanted to try and get this script at least into a (somewhat) working state. Virtual PC 2004 runs on: Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.: Note that you can actually generate the games list directly from the scummvm binary by running scummvm -list-all-games. If you will be using multiple guest operating systems simultaneously, total the requirements for all the guest operating systems that you need to run simultaneously.Īvailable disk space: To determine the hard disk space required, add the requirement for each guest operating system that will be installed. RAM: Add the RAM requirement for the host operating system that you will be using to the requirement for the guest operating system that you will be using. Processor speed: 400 MHz minimum (1 GHz recommended) Processor: Athlon®, Duron®, Celeron®, Pentium® II, Pentium III, or Pentium 4 On Microsoft's webpage these requirements are written:. I hope these are sufficient for a satisfactory performance. I have Windows XP SP2, Pentium 4 1.8 GHz and 512 MB of RAM. Just get your self some old computer with windows 98 and use DOS-Mode for DOS games. You need very fast PC to be able to use Virtual PC. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PLAY CRUSADER AT DECENT SPEED :D It is almost 98%, that everything will work. Doesn't support physical USB port :not_ok: (though COMs are working fine) My joystick wasn't too happy about that. Requires a little of Dos knowledge (installing drivers, MSCDEX)ģ. Microsoft Virtual PC is shareware (but there is 45 days trial to download (16 Mb))Ģ. :cheers: I finally ran the games which are Windows95 compatible and refuses to work under WinXP. I've succesfully installed and configured 3 PC'sĮverything works smoothly. It is very simple, but you have to install all the additional software yourself. Solution to that is creating a Virtual PC (I used Microsoft Virtual PC). But few games doesn't work with them, or rather slow. I have finally created fully working system for ruuning old games under WinXP. This includes all demos and other versions.

The Prius Prime plug-in hybrid is capable of going 25 miles on all-electric power. On the flip side, other Prius trims are also highly efficient, and they're more pleasant to spend time in. You get less stuff, but you also burn less gas. Like the Ioniq Blue, the Prius Eco makes some trade-offs in the name of efficiency. See also the regular Ioniq, which checks in at 55 mpg combined. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot to recommend it beyond its impressive mileage. The Ioniq Blue, an efficiency-oriented trim level that forgoes equipment to maximize weight savings, is a bit stripped-down but supremely frugal. Not all of these cars made our list of Best Hybrids, but if your goal is to spend as little at the pump as possible, these are the top contenders. Here's a list of the hybrids and plug-ins with the best mpg ratings. Hybrid cars are making impressive gains in mileage, with the most efficient flirting with 60 mpg. For this article, we've selected the best hybrid cars you can buy today. We test acceleration, braking and handling on our test track, and then we drive a real-world test loop that mixes city streets, twisting back roads and highway miles. We've put together a list of the best hybrid cars to help you pick the fuel-sipper that's right for you.Įdmunds puts roughly 200 cars per year through a rigorous testing process. Just don't expect to fill up the gas tank nearly as often. But unlike a fully electric car, you can treat a hybrid the same as any traditional car you've driven. ![]() Sure, you'll hear some different noises - or hardly any noise if you're running on electricity. It all sounds pretty convoluted on paper, but hybrid systems have been refined to the point where the driving experience is similar to that of a traditional car. Plug-in hybrids have larger batteries that can be recharged by plugging in at a charging station, allowing them to run for much longer, and at much higher speeds, on electricity alone. ![]() Most hybrids are capable of running solely on electricity or combining both power sources to boost acceleration, depending on the situation. Hybrid cars combine battery-powered electric motors and gas-powered internal combustion engines to provide impressive fuel economy gains. If you want to burn less gas, you have to get your power from somewhere else. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only difference was that Bitdefender registered a single false positive - a benign item mistakenly tagged as malware - while Kaspersky had none.

![]() ![]() All black needs to do is block the threat by moving his g8 Knight to f6. This time white is attacking f7 from a different angle. Be careful though, if your knight is not developed on c6 and you make the move g7, you fall into a classic 4-move checkmate trap and lose both the e5 pawn and your h8 rook. The answer is to move the g7 Pawn one square forward, blocking the path of the attacking Queen and forcing her to retreat or die. You know that the white Queen wants to capture on f7, so you have to stop her. That’s the next question you should ask yourself. In fact, the Queen is attacking the e5 pawn, which is why you should develop your b8 Knight to defend it. You could simply take her with the black King. Capturing the f7 pawn would spell disaster for the white Queen because she is not yet defended by her Bishop. Your immediate answer might be f7, but think carefully. In order to defend against the Four Move Checkmate, here are three things you need to bear in mind: 1. You don’t want to become a victim of this cunning strategy and it’s really easy to defend against it once you pay close attention to your opponent’s move.

This is a classic example of a chess blunder and should be avoided at any cost. Our second example shows that the b5 bishop has gone a square too far and can’t protect the White Queen to deliver mate. ![]() If the white queen were to take the f7 pawn at this state of the game, white would lose their queen and be devastated. His light-squared bishop is not yet developed on the c4 square to back up the Queen. White is not yet ready to execute the Scholar’s mate. Here is an example where the Four-Move checkmate fails if white plays inaccurately. If you miss out on a move or advance your Queen or Bishop to the wrong squares, your chances for a quick victory will be lost. It is vital, however, that you develop your pieces accurately. If you follow each step, you’re bound to catch some people out with Scholar’s mate. Queen out, Bishop out, bash! Is a quick and easy way to remember this checkmate.

If black plays any move that doesn’t protect their f7 pawn the Four move checkmate is finally delivered when the Queen moves or captures on the f7 square (checkmate #). If your opponent is not paying attention or is not aware of this sequence, they may forget to protect their f7 pawn. ![]() The Queen and Bishop should be attacking the black pawn on f7.
