    Or it will just install as every other game on Steams does rather than something stupid like what you posit?

    Again you post this retarded nonsense. If I want multiple web pages open I use tabs. I don't open separate Windows. This isn't the 1990s IE days and next to none of us are using tiling WMs.

    Or they could just not put in stupid restrictions on width that serve no purpose other than to shove more ads on the screen?

    Fortunately you can go to the options and enable classic view

    Which only looks marginally different and resembles classic Slashdot in pretty much no way.

    Yes, and it looks nothing like the classic Slashdot. Classic Slashdot doesn't have an asinine 625px fixed max width. Nor does it have an annoying floating DIV title bar.

    I'll bet you thousands of dollars it won't be. It would go completely against the point of Steam to then require you to burn the game and run it that way. The whole point of Steam is to not need CD media to install and run a game.

    You have to use it within a certain amount of time after registration. In most places this is around 5 years.

    Nothing. Patents and Trademarks are completely distinct things.

    It is a fixed width. The CSS for the articles div has a "max width" property set at 625px.

    Lots of companies in lots of industries could have been "major competitors" if only they hadn't made huge strategic mistakes. Tautologies works exactly that way.

    Before Apple, they had one of the best mobile browsers.

    And how many competing mobile browsers of note where there?

    Today, it's the best on the market. Apple's browser, in contrast, is now years behind everyone else.

    How is Apple's browser years behind everyone else specifically?

    The rewrite problem was well known to those outside of the arrogance field, but again, who am I?

    We don't know. You can claim you're anyone.

    The responsibilities that numerous parents run out on? There's a reason the Bradley Amendment was passed. It's because many "parents" of both genders run out on their responsibilities to the child they created. That's before we get to the kids dumped into the child welfare system due to bad parenting, being abandoned, being abused, etc.

    As they said above, yes, both parties are responsible. But it did not pass due to some made up "Democrat super majority" since that did not exist which was their point.

  17. Re:Bill to rein in NSA on No Upper Bound On Phone Record Collection, Says NSA · · Score: 4, Informative

    it was the Democrats with a supermajority in Congress that VOTED IT IN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    Maybe in some alternate reality. In the real world the 107th Congress was at the time of the passage of the Patriot Act

    House: 219 R / 211 D / 2 I with Republican Denny Hastert as Speaker
    Senate: 50 R / 50 D with Republican Strom Thurman as President Pro tempore and Dick Cheney as tie breaker

    How exactly would that be a Democrat super majority?
