After all, what's the point of levelling when there's no where to go.
I'd got spells in my backpack I was looking forward to using but never got enough xp and here I was finishing the game.
I played it like an RPG, working out how to max my stats for best effect but then I was too goddam tough but what was one to do? "I think I'll let my healer go so I can make the game a bit harder" or "perhaps I should leave the donkey behind so I can carry less stuff so I can make the game a bit harder"
and before I'd decided it was "well done, you did it, game over"
shame because the engine is really nice
That game would have benefitted from a random map generator and MOBS of ever increasing difficulty.
it's not "the right to use" it's "the right to fair use"
photocopying your favourite picture from a book to put on the wall is fair use
lithographing your favourite picture from a book to put on the cover of your book, isn't.
The reason there are no actual methodlogies described or proscribed is that "good" laws are worded such that it is left to a judge to interpret what is fair and what is not.
The aim is to avoid laws laws that say "you can use pictures from a book to decorate your domicile but not your published works" or "all electronics devices should have copy protection built in" because these tend to cause more trouble in the long run as cricumstances change.
For instance, in my county Nottingham, England, it is the law that every male of age must engage in weekly archery practice on pain of a fine. A law used by my friend who is a longbow enthusiast. (Some people get a bit cagey when you're out on the common with your longbow, shooting at trees).
8) I guess that would be one good strand to the bow.
What one tries to do is widen the horizons and show the young person that there is more to the world than their immediate, uninspiring surroundings, hopefully showing them a more constructive method of expression and maybe even turning the overal picture from despair to hope.
The destructive urge is often "no-one listens to me". Sadly a translation of this can often mean "one person in particular doesn't take no for an answer and I want it to stop".
Put this individual in a peer group with personal status and their inner rage can provide all sorts of fun.
At last I have a *medical* excuse for never leaving the computer.
I can certainly relate for the need for novelty, most web sites get pretty old after one read. S'why stuff like irc and irc are useful because you can your info buzz but it's mostly noise so it doesn't really take away from your concentration.
It's kind of a synthetic substitute for proper human contact. One satisfies the need for communication while getting on with something more important.
Well, obviously anybody who has their car on fire must have done something wrong or somebody wouldn't have set it on fire.
hehe no:
society wonders why it's youth just doesn't care
could it possibly be because society doesn't fucking care about it's youth
Especially if they don't fit into the school system that is busy getting them ready to go work in the McCain factory for the next 50 years.
I've worked with kids in some of the shittest places in my county. Wtf are you supposed to say to them: "come on kidda, work hard and one day you could be president"
Do *anything* in this country and the local paper can find some fart to say what a bad idea it is.
I would warrant that this guy hasn't ever enthused his love of literature to young people and encouraged a single one of them to read a single book. I would go as far to speculate that he probably has never even had a conversation with someone under twenty that wasn't in his own family.
Plenty of people here hate kids, even if they don't couch it in those terms.
As soon as someone actually tries to do _something_
the nay sayers come out of the woodwork and tell you what a crap idea it is.
Slashdot Mirror
well I didn't mention that the servers are also physically distant so the mirror is actually where I am, 10 mins from the co-lo.
I have my whole server backed up *on another machine*.
Not mirrored disks or incremental backups on tape
But a mirrored server so my downtime can be measured as the time it takes to swap the CAT5 cable from one machine to the other.
Thankfully I've never needed it but when the day comes I'll be ready.
and, tbh, I'm not in a discussion
hehehe excellent well done

1. Decide on project
2. Design kick ass web site
3. ???
4. You know this one
then you'd know about the Open Source Bios along with CPUs, Motherboards and other support stuff
"even if they migrate workstations."
you can see the point of failure right there
"even offsite"
now your talking just plain science fiction, how can that even be possible, no no, it's just too amazing to be true
"weeks of uptime"
would be considered a drastic failure in these parts.
"The TCO is 1/10th of what it was"

I'd forgotten about flight sim
Lotus 1-2-3 was released in 1983
Whereas the first Flight Sim for PC was in November 1982
I do remember us selling an Apricot PC Compatible that had a "Runs Lotus 1-2-3" sticker on it.
Might have done a bit better if it had said "Runs Leisure Suit Larry".
I remember it being the BIOS not DOS as the hurdle for clone makers to overcome.
running Lotus 1-2-3 was *the* most important aspect not ms-dos compatibilty, that came later
Seriously, if he didn't want goods publicity from the Foundation then he should have maybe toned down the name a bit !
drug dealers
Are usually buyers & sellers.
They make their money from adding value by taking the risk of moving many small packages rather than one big one.
The real cash in in the manufacturing and these are people you probably won't ever directly buy drugs from.
I didn't know the kernel had a GUI built in?
