Best one is "Disco Related Injury"
If you buy it from GOG you should be able to get the Windows exe, you can then try and install it with WINE. That should give you the game files to import into OpenRCT2.

They do excellent blog posts, outlining tech details and explaining it for less technical people.

An amazing project, My only criticism is the scaling, playing in 1080p makes the UI really small, it does have scaling in the options but 1.5 uses antialiasing and kinda ruins the pixel graphics.

Otherwise the best way to play this. I'm pretty sure you can also import certain elements from RCT1 if you have it.

The website I used was - http://librestock.com/

Which is a large search engine for public domain images. Too bad the search sucks compared to this.

My only suggestion would be to set him up with a Gmail and try and play around. I think there could be mail forwarding in the settings.

Although its probably just best to let get his own personal address. I had an email at the age of 10.

Is there any reasonable reason why anti-virus vendors often include shady or insecure software like this? It honestly the worst case of security theater where it looks like its helping but is honestly doing the opposite. And I really wish AVs didn't try to include extras, as this really lowers my disposition against the (scammy) Anti-Virus market. And this isn't the first time that an AV turned out to make the computer less secure.

I have Avira Free installed, But only have the AV part and have disabled Web/Mail Protection. So I am hoping that Avira are trustworthy enough and don't push anything my way.

Re:Was Mac OS X really the most vulnerable in 2015? on Saturday January 09, 2016 @09:41PM (#10873897)
The data is presented very poorly. Mac OS X is all in one where as Windows is separated into different versions and just to screw with us more there is simply just a "Windows" entry further down. Anyway the article is just about the amount of vulnerabilitys discovered it doesn't mention how fast it was patched or how serious they were.
Yes. But not in 10-15 years.

As everyone else is saying they need to be much more thoroughly tested and approved.
