Do not assume that your form submissions are not bots; I know that a (fairly large) website I admin'ed would get spam strings in things like the SEARCH text box - I only know that because I happened to log searches for a while.
You could tell it was bots, because there was no referrer information (e.g., the referrer field wasn't the website) - it was just some script somewhere submitting http POSTs.
Pissed me off to no end, because it made looking through the strings for *real* information painful.
Spammers: DIAF.
If you actually buy the games right from Telltale, they're simply downloads, and they simply check with their servers to play. IIRC you should be able to WINE them then.
Plus, more money goes to them than the retail packaging.
1) You mean lawyers (or hippie-lawyers). The FREE vs. Absolutely FREE argument has been done to death, please don't try to troll people into a useless argument.
2) I can't remember the last time I was at.. well, ANY box (Windows, Linux, *nix, OSX) and NOT had access to the greatness of our friend Google - chances are, if I don't know a command, I'll just Google it, and in the process learn more than any man page (which are sometimes clear as mud anyway) can tell me. Besides, have there really been any huge changes to any of the main command line utilities in years?
3) Agreed, and I have great respect for the *BSD devs.
Blender's interface is designed for ARTISTS who use the program - try again. It's an incredibly fast UI - there IS a learning curve, however.
I've been blending for years, and it just gets out of your way, and lets you get to work.
I get sick of people crapping on Blender - I use it instead of, you know, those other programs you have to pay money for? Those ones that I had no problem paying for before?
USB is computer-centric - created by Intel. Somewhere in the chain, a computer needs to be connected.
Whereas 1394 is device-centric - designed for tranferring video, audio, data, etc. between "dumb" devices.
The PC world "snubbed" 1394 (not completely) because of the $.25(or something equally absurd) royalty to Apple; Intel pushed USB.
1394 is more expensive to implement in hardware (which should be obvious - it's for dumb devices!), while USB is cheap - the CPU does most of the work.
What happens when End of the Earth Situation occurs in game, and you're still free to go about your business, and the End of Earth Situation waits until you get there to take the mission?
Chernobyl was HUGE because the Russian government didn't want to admit what happened! Firefighters came in, and weren't told what the hell they were fighting. Tons of lives were lost because it was not known...

I'm also getting married to the woman who is my best friend in June.
What about the other 11 months? Is she someone else's best friend then?
2) I would like to kick back a little money to the site I'm currently surfing. (I frequently have no other way of supporting them)
Heads up - you're actually hurting the smaller sites you frequent, if you do that.
Just clicking on the ad makes their clickthrough to buy ratio go down, and they'll get penalized if it gets too low...
Just send the site money directly - it's much better for everyone that way.
Everyone gets those "Phantom Vibrations", but try again - they're just muscle memory. [citation: http://jscms.jrn.columbia.edu/cns/2005-05-03/orso-phantomvibes ]
The interference with speakers is caused by...wait for it... radio waves.
Those things that are engulfing all of us, all the time, in varying intensities. Naturally produced or not.
Just because you do not understand the world around you, doesn't mean you must be fearful of it.
A GUI for virtualization is already in Hardy, everyone.

Seriously, I use it instead of 3DS/Maya.

By all means, please start a company RIGHT now, and make one. I'll buy four. Seriously.
It's not as easy to build as saying "OMG EVRTHNG SHUD SHUT DOWN LOL"
How can I sell you a "proprietary" charging cable at 2000x markup if it's standard mini-usb?

I was under the impression that we couldn't simply use PHOTONS as qubits - because while photons do have a quantum state, they get all...destroyed.
Of course, the article doesn't help.
Anyone?
I am interested in your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Fine, let me put it another way:
What happens when End of the Earth Situation occurs in game, and you're still free to go about your business, and the End of Earth Situation waits until you get there to take the mission?
Then compare to the current HL way...
Not gonna happen.
The great scripted, movie-like feel of the HL games require linearity.

If you're referring to this (RE: OMG Radioactive trees!!11), you should know that it's fake.
Try again - it doesn't "help" the economy.

Argh, I did a witty < insert your list here > joke that got eaten :( (after "Runs on")
Or just use 7zip. http://www.7-zip.org/
Better compression than RAR, and Open Source!
Runs on and probably your toaster.
