Yes, yes it is. Especially if the game has an online multi-player component. But what about for single-player games? That's where limited-install makes sense for the developers and why Gamestop has a hard time with used PC software.
Nah, we'll just invade a few years later searching for weapons of mass destruction. Then, after a few short weeks, the dictator will be gone, we'll have our plutonium, and (as a side benefit) the North Korean people will love us! Foolproof plan.

Doesn't "Worked 10 years on a game that was clearly never going to be released" look kind of bad on your resume?
No. But "refused to work on a game/quit because it didn't seem to be going anywhere" kind of does. To some employers, at least.
It could be done in one. The only reason it's more difficult in this case is because of the bug. Please tell me you're not of the delusion that Windows has never been released with a software bug.
Point taken. What I meant to say is that since 8.04 is not at the bleeding edge of Ubuntu development and still supported for quite a while longer with security and functionality updates, it is ideal for most users who would rather not spend a great deal of pouring through forums and dealing with major bugs (*cough* burning with Brasero in Jaunty *cough*).
Keep in mind that the 8.10 release is not designed for broad use and that most users (even now that 9.04 has been released) should still be using 8.04, the last stable LTS release.
For reference, IE8 scored a 20/100 on the acid 3 test on my computer. For comparison, Opera scored a 100 (a little shaky, though) and Firefox scored a 71.
The Police Department confirmed that it had been notified about the event but said it had been barred from alerting the public. âoeThe flight of a VC-25 aircraft and F-16 fighters this morning was authorized by the F.A.A. for the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it but to direct any inquiries to the F.A.A. Air Traffic Security Coordinator,â the Police Department said in a statement.
The mayor criticized the secrecy around the flyover. The e-mail notification âoedid have the normal language of saying this is sensitive information, should be distributed on a need-to-know basis, that they did not plan to have any publicity about it, which I think is ridiculous and just poor judgment,â Mr. Bloomberg said.
Too lazy to remove the smartquotes, but you get the idea.
There is also no evidence (especially without a list of exactly what the money is going to be spent on) that the things the government would fund research into wouldn't get funding without government involvement.
I disagree: $(3% GDP - whatever the government is spending now) extra worth of funding for projects would be available, and scientific research is one of those nifty fields that sometimes rewards giving grants in areas not likely to receive corporate grants.
Wish I'd thought of this. Of course, I'd just collect a small fee and have no actual plans for sending anything out if said "rapture" actually occurred.
Yeah, this is sort of my viewpoint on the whole matter as well. I really wonder if the whole reason for stepping in is truly nefarious or if its to keep a few things secret to stop the lynching mob from going after Bush.
Unless the whole reason really is to continue the program, in which case I'd regret voting for the man if I thought things would be any better with the other guy.
Unadjusted for inflation. And yes, I am implying that the bulk of our politicians are likely to forget to make this adjustment, and would much rather just give the whole thing a cursory glance and then pass over it.
It appears that Jindal was right. You stated yourself that the program is working just fine without additional funding.
I believe this was exactly the sort of thinking that caused NASA to languish, and then continue to languish when the thinking became "More money? Where's the results from that standard funding we've been giving you every year? You were able to do everything just fine with less money in the 60's, so why not now?"
I'm sorry if I seem like an economic heathen for hoping that this sort of thing doesn't happen to something like volcano monitoring.
Yahoo typically streams NCAA basketball games, and I've had success with opening the videos with Totem using GStreamer codecs (from the "bad" and "ugly" set, though).
Slashdot Mirror
Have you tried Dia as an alternative to Visio? I've used Visio myself in the past, but it seems that Dia does just as much as I ever did with Visio.
And I say, let them eat cake.
Ah, a patent that no one on Slashdot would ever be sued for violating.
Hard to resell a game with a serial code.
Yes, yes it is. Especially if the game has an online multi-player component. But what about for single-player games? That's where limited-install makes sense for the developers and why Gamestop has a hard time with used PC software.
Hey, that's a great idea! But I think we should call the strips "ribbons"...sounds way more sophisticated that way.

You can fit all of that in a vial?

And why would you trust the government, or even the citizens, to select the right things to spend research money on?
There is also no evidence (especially without a list of exactly what the money is going to be spent on) that the things the government would fund research into wouldn't get funding without government involvement.

Please read the last article linked in the summary. It definitely makes the appointment sound intelligent.
Good thing I burned all mine off a few years ago, eh?

It's still April 1st in the United States.

When I was in school my physics teacher did the same thing, but he made the mistake of pushing the ball a little.
I heard the next year he used a chair to make the demonstration instead.
