  • The idea is to have four stacks of cards at the top. One for each suit, ace thru king. Once you get that you win.

    You can move cards around the bottom by stacking them in descending order (King thru 2), in alternating colors (red, black).

    You can move multiple cards to a new stack if it’s suitable.

    You can turn the upside down cards on the bottom once there are no face-up cards covering them.

    When the bottom stacks are empty, you can start a new stack in that spot, but only with a King.

    The draw pile at the top is where the different sets of rules come into play…some people draw 1 at a time, some draw three at a time. Some people also play with a limit of how many times you can loop through the draw pile.

    There’s also a scoring system but that’s unimportant for most people unless they really care. After all, solitaire is a one player game.




  • Ah if you want to use it on their website or in a browser you’ll probably also need a mini card driver like OpenSC.

    And if you’re using firefox, you might have to go into settings to add a pkcs provider and tell it where opensc-pkcs11.so is.

    There’s lots of generic info out there on smartcards in Linux if you were so inclined to “figure it out”…but I don’t blame them for not “supporting” Linux…that’s kind of a minefield.

    Still, that’s the fun of Linux…realizing that “not supported” doesn’t mean it won’t work…just that they won’t help you.














  • To be fair, Asians are both gifted genetically with regards to skin and aging (thicker dermis, more collagen) and Culturally.

    Culturally, a lot of Asian groups are serious about skincare, and a lot of Asian cuisine is rich in Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low in saturated fat.

    This is very unfair with comparison to Americans who bawk at the idea of sunblock and vegetables, and treat saturated fats as a dietary staple.


  • Well that makes the problem even more blatantly obvious…the problem is social hierarchy. It’s impossible to have equality and hierarchy simultaneously…they are mutually exclusive.

    They (the ruling classes) are vastly outnumbered, yet they manage to gain control over the masses below them, such that we must support them or the whole thing crumbles.

    They’ve got the supporting class believing that we need them…but really that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    The problem is, though, as soon as one ruler is gone, another replaces them, and that one is equally corrupt. And the cycle repeats.

    But conversely, I don’t see how a non-hierarchal society could function, because that implies there must be some sort of order, mediation, and enforcement, which automatically means that some people will have authority over others, no matter how you slice it.
