Uh, it's not like you have to do it all at once. Whenever you listen to the track (the first time) it will restore the license. You have to expend zero (0) extra effort besides just listening to the song (unless you count connecting to the Internet extra effort).
Hey Mr. Mayor, is that you? I like how you govern our city. You zoned the nuclear powerplants pretty far away, and have provided us with decent fire and police coverage. However, property values are getting pretty low in some parts. Why don't you please make a monument? It doesn't cost much, but sure makes the place look nicer! By the way, I just heard that you spent a LOT of money building your mansion inside some fancy park. Next time, can you please use that money to raise property values somehow?

I guarantee that I could step in and start producing some decent code within a day. If you give me just a couple of hours of briefing, or better, very little briefing and some skeleton header files with implementation to fill in, I could get quite a lot done. I'm not bragging, here, as I'm sure I'm not by any means the only one who could do this -- I'm just saying that it doesn't neccessarily take someone all that long to dive in to code (at least someone who has any programming clue).
What about the fact that OpenGL has been a standard for many years? Aren't there rules or laws about this type of thing to prevent this exact situation? It kind of reminds me of the whole Unisys/GIF thing, but I guess Unisys ended up screwing everyone over in the end. Why are they allowed to do this? I can't believe it could be legal to spread a standard for years and years, and then suddenly make everyone who adopted it pay or else.

You forgot the part about someone having to talk. Whether or not someone can see the recieving device does not change that fact that someone, somewhere, is going to have to talk loud enough for you to hear it.
Hah! if you check at the bottom where the site lists related stories, what do you find?

I have never had any problems with this. I think if you really know your stuff, you should be able to think about the problem and then write down a valid program just as you would on a computer. If you have problems visualisng a program before you sit down to write it, then you probably could be more efficient in your programming by doing so. I know it's easy to sit at a terminal, hack out a few lines, and compile it to see if it works... but such trial and error tactics are a lazy practice that will result in sloppy code and/or design that you have to touch up later. I am all for these kinds of tests, frankly, because they make you think before you code. Not just *while* you are doing it, and then again after the fact.
Well, for one the advertise on Battle.Net. So people not using it will hurt that revnue. PLUS since bnetd is OPEN SOURCE... Within 15 minutes of a release someone would hack out the CD Key neccessity. All that would be left would be the trivial removal of CD Check from the client if it was implemented that way. Come on guys, they are just trying to protect their business, here. It's not evil, it's smart.
Also, there is a considerably lengthy single player game, as well as a score of multiplayer modules already created. They aren't counting on people building the game for them, they are allowing them to extend it in the way they have been wanting to for years.

The term "the human race", is completely inaccurate though. Homo-sapiens is a SPECIES. There truly is no such thing as a human race.

Or really bad rewrites of classic code.

100 killowatts? *yawn* Wake me when they get near 1.21 gigawats -- That's when the fun starts!
You like big, clunky, hard-to-read fonts, or am I missing something?

My brain hurts from trying to figure out why you put the 'ent' in bold. Can you please explain it? I'm sure I'm just being daft, but. . .

It seems the general consensus here is size doesn't matter. Imagine that coming from a bunch of geeks. . .
