i don't know how to rebuild an engine. I can't download a Linux kernel and a bunch of packages from GNU and cobble together an OS. I can, however, edit my X config to make two monitors work. Do you know how to check your oil? Replace a spark plug?
i don't know anything about tax law. But are you required to work with taxes on a daily basis?
i can't separate waste from water to make it drinkable again. I can't think of how this is relevant, but I'll make a reference to Vista just to be cool. You can just download a program to get rid of WGA. Bam!
i can't start or fly a commercial airplane. And you acknowledge that, and you fly on an airline.
i wouldn't know the first thing about properly laying a brick sidewalk. And you don't need to worry about it, because there are other people and it's low-maintenence. Can you write your own hardware drivers?
i am completely incapable of stitching up a wound... And so you go to a hospital. Again, there are professionals. Also, again, you know how to use a band-aid, right? How about some antibacterial spray?
'free as in sex' I think, sir, you may have found THE SOLUTION. We need to license women under the GPL to ensure that they may not take away our right to have sex with them.
Games like Halo do the same thing: we are constantly seeing new challenges that test our skills to navigate, aim, conserve ammo, etc. I don't know what Halo you're playing, but the one I'm playing has recharging shields, ammo off every dead body, pathetically linear levels, and "enhanced" aim.
Bestbuy is a shop, microsoft is a programming company, No. Microsoft is a publisher which acquires programming companies. If they wanted to go after the developers (developers developers) they'd be suing (or at least mentioning) Bungie specifically, and not just threatening all of MS.
Still, though, just as a crackable WEP WiFi point is no longer a "open invitation", circumventing an access-control device that is easily circumvented does not mean that it was open. Lbh whfg unpxrq zl frphevgl flfgrz, lbh vafrafvgvir pybq!
He was saying that a $1000 phone bill doesn't warrant taking away a phone, just because it may be used for future texting. He likened it to a computer, because the computer may be used for looking at porn. I mentioned that the teenager in question had not racked up a $1000 bill on porn. Comprende?

Why should people expect to get money from work they had nothing to do with producing? What's fair about that? I don't know if it's fair, but just look! That's how it worked for a thousand or so years after the Roman empire fell and... oh, wait.
I'll give you a hint: it starts in m, and ends in onopoly. If they were to install Linux, they'd face the same compatibility issues as if they were in the US.
Plasma sucks. LCD sucks. DLP is sort of cool, but then you have to buy new bulbs at ass raping prices that make the printer ink market look charitable. You forgot HD CRTs, you insensitive clod!
You will be able to buy it separately via Steam. Granted, it'll be overpriced, but if you really want the pack-in game without the main attraction, that's your loss.
Do you have ANY idea how much work is involved in making something like Photoshop, or The lord Of The rings? or Halo? I personally do not, but I'm sure if you asked the people who made The GIMP, Elephant's Dream, or Nexiuz, you'd get a good answer.
A game isn't graphically impressive unless it involves Bald Space Marines.
Just ask any Xbot, they know lots of stuff about graphics! The most advanced rendering technique there is is 'bright lights on shiny metal'. While this is flamebait, I do agree that developers need to spend less time on how light looks on any single object, and focus on how it affects the scene as a whole (HDR, shadowing, etc).
Don't you see how much better the new version is? It's got 2007 in the name! Congress, therefore, MUST pass it this time!:-/ The Microsoft strategy always works.

(OK, so they aren't searching for someone in particular but close enough). I'm Linus!
The joke practically gave you a haircut.
Hey! Melting down those broken robots is just wrong! Especially when they're sucking up to me like that!

Because teenagers know that a $1000 porno bill would get them kicked out of the house.

Don't you worry about teaching chemistry. Let me worry about blank.
I'm using the built-in speakers on my $999.99 tv. Thank god for the penny!

I respect your opinion; however, I find it quite more offensive to be required to pop in a CD, when the game's already on my hard drive.
Who needs DirectX 10 when you can just use OpenGL? More supported features, more supported hardware, and above all a sane license.
