Does bituminous coal only exist in myths and stories? I've NEVER seen it-- where should I be embarking?

Engraved on the wall is an image of Odysseus and Antinous. Odysseus is firing a bow. Antinous is making a plaintive gesture. This relates to the killing of the suitor Antinous by Odysseus.

It'd be nice if you could use dye to change the colour of stone, for symmetry purposes.

I'm guessing that soundsense itself is messed up if so many different methods give the same error. Probably have to wait for its creator to address that.

I think I heard that collapsing ice becomes water. Try to cave in a lake?

I'm actually surprised that there aren't any crazed Christians running around in the streets and inciting divine judgement, considering Texas is my place of residence. This is a relatively mellow judgement day, it would seem.

Hmm, just woke up. No thunder/lightning/death/demonic screams... that's not surprising. Either Magical Sky Guy's operating in a different timezone, or he's late again.

Horrible screams come from the darkness below!...Hm. That was unexpected. Maybe Armok will spare us DF players.

COICA, the successor to this bill, got killed early along the line by Ron Wyden. He states here that he's very much against this one too. I predict that this won't get too far either. In addition, Google is against it. Far as I know, they're pretty damned powerful, and I bet they've got lobbyist influence.
Regardless, this is the internet we're talking about. The more technologically competent people win. If piracy can't continue one way, it'll eventually find another. The only way to reduce it, I think, is to stop fighting it. Personally, if I pirate stuff, it's because their creators commit atrocities like this, or use intrusive, unnecessary DRM-- Not because I'm just being cheap. I'm entirely happy to support anyone who accepts piracy as a fact and gets on with their lives, of course.
Although in my experience, free/open-source stuff is of a better quality, because it's released when it's done, not when profits are down. 'Tis why I try to stick to Linux and free software.

Can the syndrome be made to instantly burn anything the victim has constructed? CJ also mentions burning Life's house(s) down with combustible lemons.

I believe so. I've got zlib1g and libpng12 from my package manager, both are updated. Apparently those two are what allegro uses to read PNGs.
I installed every dependency (including optional ones, but not the documentation) from this page. I used allegro 5, by the way:

More specfically, all these:
EDIT: I just rebuilt allegro again, same error.Does stonesense need a rebuild as well, once I fix that? Apparently not, nothing changes.

Do bees sting enemies? If so, does it cause injury? I'd like to throw a bunch of goblins in a pit of bees, if you're wondering.
Heh heh.
Heh heh.

I'm getting 'cannot load image: stonesense.png' when I open it on Linux. I have libpng and allegro, do I need to set it to look elsewhere for that PNG? It's in the same folder.

Only can go through SMR if I recall correctly. You'll have to take your chances mining through it.

I just got that for the first time. It's indeed a barony elevation, just pick a dwarf and (I think) when the caravan leaves, he'll become a baron. When I got the message, I was at around 80 dwarves. Not sure about my wealth.
