I've been reading a lot about entity-component design but every article talks about the philosophy behind such design, leaving a lot of details and implementations outside. I'm looking for an open source game that uses the entity-component design so I can study the concrete implementations and see how they deal with things such as
How (and if) they deal with inter-component communication
How much logic each component has or doesn't have
How a subsystem can change it's behavior depending on an entity's state (the screen darkens depending on the player's health)

I'm now using Ubuntu 12.04.
In earlier versions you could associate a filetype with a specific command (e.g. self-compiled binary) by selecting "Open with" in the file's properties and select the command by providing the file path manually if it wasn't already in the list of applications.
Is this possibility gone?

God please tell me that there is a stackoverflow API that I can hook into to port a genre of questions in a way that splunk has.
If God has forsaken me, Joel or whomever it may concern, this would be awesome!
Hi,
I have a program that includes a recursive function. This function when executed in a Windows Application works just fine, and when used in a Webservice, it works fine when the webservice is initiated by the VS (it assigns a random port), but this function return a stackoverflow error when the webservice is published. (note that the machine used is the same, hence it is published on my pc).
Could it be that the stack size of a Web Service is smaller than that of a Window Application?
