Leaving your playstation to the vagaries of family life is not that wise a strategy. 8)
The outcome was good though, the agreement became "Tell player 30 mins *before* you exepect playtime to finish. Then when the time is up, the time is up and no arguing".
When one hears of all sorts of stuff like the device a while back that rationed electricty so that the conflict didn't arise one wonders how the rest of the household conflict is resolved. That kind of living does no good for anyone.
"save where you like" can make stuff too easy and it is hard not be tempted to press f6 after every success. And I'm sure everyone must have pressed quick_save instead of quick_load and saved yourself dead or in some hopeless situation.
In each new game I fear some mechanism that will lead me down a one way systems and my quicksave will be useless. Sadly, I've not found a game that does this, so all my file saving discipline is wasted.
I end up playing in bazai mode, run into every new room and spray bullets after so many times creeping round corners into no danger.
Seeing as games take like a zillion hours anyway anything that maximizes your chances you are going to take (well except invoke GOD mode, that's just *too* lame).
So, quick save good and bad. Be strong, don't save.
Remember this conversation (points for being either):
"Come on, we've got go now!" "Hang on, I've got to get Cloud back to the savepoint."
Nowadays part of the skill of parenting has been the ability to asses the level of trauma proportional to the save point time expenditure. The boy used to try and hoodwink his mum by saying "I need to get to a savepoint" to get himself another 20 mins play-time. He didn't reckon on me knowing how to play video games.

The GCC development effort uses an open development environment and supports many other platforms in order to foster a world-class optimizing compiler, to attract a larger team of developers, to ensure that GCC and the GNU system work on multiple architectures and diverse environments, and to more thoroughly test and extend the features of GCC.

At that time it's best to not say anything more.
Especially if you have not been read your rights. Technicalities like that can sometimes get you away scott free, guilty or not.
Usually, however, you are asked at interview if you have been read your rights.
I used to help run arrest awareness workshops. I made a great bastard copper. I've had people crying without much encouragement. If you are involved in any kind of protest group that is likely to brush with the law, practice at hostile interviews is invaluable. When people are scared their mouths tend to flap. They are conditioned by TV to start explaining *why* they committed the "crime". Cops don't care about truth and justice, they care about arrest rates. They want both parties to admit wrong doing and let the CPS/DA decide who to charge.

Arrest is being detained against your will by the state. If he is not free to go at any time he must have had his rights read to him.
"you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent etc."
All police officers carry a warrant card which gives them the power of arrest.
You can be held without charge for a fixed period, 72 hours iirc. (you look it up!)
What is it called then in the States to be held involuntarily by the police while you wait to be arrested?
Curiously our police invented something called de-arresting. The used to arrest hunt-sabs on spurious charges but when we sued the arse off them they stopped. They would nick you removed you from the scene, keep you in a van for 2 hours then de-arrest you. No paperwork, usually no credible witnesses and no due process.
Fuck 'em. In the end they just made sabbing illegal full stop.
Fuck all you hunters, shooters and fishers. I hope you lose your arms in a thresher.
Surely with the multitude of molecules there would be some other that would cause such a re-arrangement.
To conclude that a space rock was formed in the presence of water could be an expensive mis-interpretation, such as if a space exploration program was based on that assumption.
I'm not trying to debunk their research but without experimenting with a wide variety molecules in different pressures and temperatures all that can be concluded is that "these crystals order themselves in water" not "any ordered crystal formed in water".
The Common Application Platform that the Browser tries to be is braindead anyway.
It would be great to have HTML just that, no DHTML, no javascript.
I'd love to go back to programming applications again but every idea anyone has seems to end up "can we do that in a web browser" and we end up with cookies and an inability to rely on anything being in the other frame.
The result of this mess is the.NET platform for applications
The Web must die and we must be ready to rebuild it.
My solution to this was to make a "to do" application.
If my colleague wants something done I tell him to put it on the to-do list with a priority rating. I then work top down. That way he knows what I have / haven't done and what he's going to delay by wanting new things.
Managers should manage. I let him choose which work I'm doing next. And I can't stress enough how well that appraoch works in a bigger company. Bump requests up to your manager and let him choose which you do next. It reduces your stress because you aren't trying to juggle a bunch of peoples feelings and with luck, if you are overworked, they will do something about it because they can see the situation rather than people bitching about you never doing their tasks when they think that their tasks are the only ones you have outstanding.

If you stick it on the Jewel Case you can use a more brutal machine to stick it on than if it was the sensitive CD.
Plus you can get the jewel cases made ahead of having the CDs pressed.
But I agree, this is annoying move from Valve.
Like all copy protectin, the only people it will annoy is legitimate customers.
