It's possible to wing it alone. Downside is you'll get Popeye-arms, and you have to take breaks regularly lest you 'overwork' resulting in significant downtime.
And so Microsoft also became the unwitting inventor of antigravitation, and through that Hell froze over, letting Spam King back into the mortal realm.
God damnit Microsoft, you can't do anything right without fucking up can you?
Well it's between a stone and a hard case. Either one tries to extinguish to illogicity of the horde, or start to assign 'merit-multipliers', thereby implying ones statement trumphs the others simply because of an education-acronym one happen to posses.
I'd rather see some effort in constructing some forum-software where you can assign fallacies to individual threads in a meaningful way. Illogical people love having lots of people giving them attention by replying in public viewable messages (visit youtube). However they hate having a huge graphic sticker saying 'stupid','ad ignorantiam' etc. next to their name. Then again, there'd be the problem of how to secure against misuse of such a system.
It's people thinking they get the best by picking the product that costs more money.
I've experienced a couple of linux-'converts' before, they all basically say the same thing when living with Ubuntu for a couple of days: "What?! You get all this?! For FREE?!?!"
There's just this popular misconception (well, it probably makes sense anywhere else than software) that you have to 'pay to play'. You want a Mac, you pay bigtime. You want Vista, you pay. You want a TV, you pay. You want a hotel-room, you pay. You want a gum-drop, you pay. YOU DON'T GET ANYTHING FOR FREE! And if you do, something MUST be fishy.
Sega had an analog controller before Nintendo and Playstation, it was bundled together with the game NiGHTS into Dreams (wicked game btw) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamepad#Saturn
And finally, it's clearly no coincidence that on July 11, Evermore Vice President Cao Shen called for Microsoft to be the first target for China's new anti-monopoly law, which will take effect in just ten days' time.
Unfortunately, a decent economy and a government without citizen representation mitigates the public's desire or ability to do anything when things go to shit. The people running those 350 factories aren't exactly powerless either.
Yeah touch-screens can be a bit messy, but not anything like a mouse.
I've been using mice for years and there are no ends to problems with them, I tell you. Mousecrap everywhere, rabies, bubonic plague, claw-scratches, disposal of used mice, mice crawling up your ass. I mean, the sheer amount of mice you go through playing counter-strike with ADHD, it's hell I tell you.
Students should be immatriculated on the background of their merits, not their gender. IF there is discrimination going on, then it's a matter of firing the bastards responsible for it, not deny a genius his/her chance at being his/her best because a chauvinist of the opposite gender didn't make the cut.
Ffs...give me a week as god-king of humanity and I'll fix the world for everyone.
Slashdot Mirror
...there's kind of a BSDevil inside the Apache-teepee, and now Gates and Windows as well.
George Bush: What the hell are these hydrocarbons on Titan people keep talking about?!
Advisor: It's kinda like oil, Mr. President.
*Bush-head emits cash-register-sound and a not so bright lightbulb appears above*

As these events pick up pace 2012 is not gonna be doomsday.
It's gonna be the year of the Linux desktop.
They did this by THEMSELVES?
I expect pigs to fly by any minute now.

He'll still be one big ass-hole though...
Getting HIV should drastically lower your sex-appeal.
Prisoner: Hey Edward, you'll win 1 million dollars if you pick up the soap.
Edward: REALLY?! OK!
No, ownership of his "outbox" has been transferred to Big Jim.

Part of gaining neutral information about a subject is through logic and reasoning, discourse and all those other forgotten arts.
Having some egotripping expert beat everyone on their heads with his Ph.d. might be good to get the perceived truth out there.
But what if the egotripping expert just happened to be plain wrong?
Yeah sorry, I'm an egotripper with a BA in philosophy, and I just happen to be of the oppinion that Logic and Argumentation trumphs any degree.

It's not eye-candy, it's not usability.

If I see a NPC with screw and a hole next to it over his head, will I be able to target him and write '/nigeria' to make a lot of money?

Evil seem to be experiencing some kernel-panic.

Sailing-weather : Watch out, more torrents than ever.
We give you funny cartoons and heatsinks.
You give us Bush, Microsoft and Michael Jackson.
Bad deal, Denmark thinks.

Do you wish to pay your monthly AT&T subscription in:

- Loaves of bread
Couple a GPS-device with a loudspeaker in the car which goes "Booo..." when the speed drops 10 mph under the allowed speedlimit.
Have George Bush on your friends list.
Once was America, now the Uber-Banana Republic.
