And hey... forget about the whole sticker thing. There's an easier solution. Don't buy new games at Gamestop. Problem solved. Granted, I don't have problems buying a used game there although I still find their prices way overpriced (Fable 1 for the Xbox was going 15 bucks used -- wtf???). Personally, I like getting my used games from gamefly. Most of the discs are in great condition and the box doesn't require latex gloves to handle it.
Words to live by. As a rule I don't buy games unless they get a constant 90+% on many game review sites. And then I look around on ebay/craigslist before turning to gamefly or amazon.
The other neat item that destroys your equation is a little thing called an odometer that tells the user precisely how much wear and tear is on the vehicle.
The odometer can be reset. You forgot to mention that. Just like a game package can be resealed.
And for all of you mandating stickers, a little water and they come off with no residue, and can be restuck after finishing (at least some can).
In the U.S. at least, breaking copyright is illegal. But that's not the discussion point. The discussion point is copy protection. Breaking copy protection is by no means illegal.
That only takes into account the president. The president can't pass spending laws. Bill Clinton had a Republican Majority House & Congress. George W. Bush had a Democratic Majority House & Congress.
Remember: The President does not write laws or bills, only veto them.
I'm sorry, I'm braindead, I was going to put some witty comment in here asking whether it ran linux or if 96% of your base are belong to us, but I can't.
Come back tomorrow, maybe I'll have come up with something.
Yes, I did just post here for the april fool's achievement.
I play both WoW and The Slashdot Game (tm). But I play WoW on only Private servers, so my PMing my 'main' on my userpage will not get you to me unless you play ITRWoW (itrwow.com)
Which is probably why he does it. Think: if it is much harder for them to switch developers without documentation, the chances of them keeping him on after a couple hundred thousand lines of code is greatly increased.
I don't deny it has a huge install/usage base. But Excel in and of itself is not a programming language. It is a program. VBA/VB is a programming language. The Formula functionality in it is not programming per say...but it does have some functions that some would call programming.
Excel is NOT programming. Excel is a spreadsheet program. You probably mean using Formulas and VBA.
Formulas are just Algebra-style equations, and VBA is hellspawn that will only work on MS Office software (certain VBA scripts are not even workable between versions of Office)
Slashdot Mirror
Aye Aye, le capitan!
YES!!!!!!!!
WYSIWYG-type tools usually generate bloated non-semantic HTML. And CMS systems have to have the (X)HTML templates written.
Disclaimer: My WYSIWYG experience comes from Visual Studio Web and Dreamweaver MX 2004, CS3, and CS4.

Or a new strain of rapidly spreading electricity-consuming tiberium.
Or me.
that you write a system to delete posts with the first phrase as the subject.
There is a rant in an old PC Gaming magazine about that. A 2 page-spread long rant. Very good. And this was calling Starcraft graphical goodness.
Aye. Same here. And when I also find it a compliment when people say I'm not cheating when I'm in 3rd and AFK.

Yes. Either way you need windows, one just costs more.
Not that I'll buy expression web....
Firefox already has (part) of this on them. With plugins it can view pages as IE
Who cares if it's realistic? 200 years ago going faster than 60mph was unrealistic. As was going to the moon. Or breathing underwater.
Same here
That's nice. If only it were a new land-speed record for all vehicle types.
Which is probably why he does it. Think: if it is much harder for them to switch developers without documentation, the chances of them keeping him on after a couple hundred thousand lines of code is greatly increased.
Same here.
They don't even have a simple majority on their side.
That was exactly what I was thinking when I read it. IE8 is slower on 13/25 sites. That means simple majority makes their alternative /worse/.
OK, you win. Excel is a programming environment. Formulas+VBA is the language.
I don't deny it has a huge install/usage base. But Excel in and of itself is not a programming language. It is a program. VBA/VB is a programming language. The Formula functionality in it is not programming per say...but it does have some functions that some would call programming.
