I know exactly what you mean. I had a Synergy ViperMAX, which had the benefits and problems of pairing an SB compatible chip on the same board as a GUS MAX. The dorky thing I remember was that to get the best Midi sound out a DOS game without direct GUS support, you usually had to run a TSR that preloaded the samples to the card. Hardware accelerated MOD support was a big plus though, back in the day.
Seriously, though, I consider myself a reasonably bright software programmer, and I'm still unsure exactly what it is I'm supposed to be using Goole Wave for. Maybe I just don't communicate with enough people via electronic means...
You managed to avoid the truly major difference in this case; The 20 year sentence is for felony obstruction of justice. The actual hacking of the e-mail account was only filed as a misdemeanor, and has a maximum sentence of 1 year.
This looks like it has about as much connection to the source material as Legends of Zork which was a bitter disappointment. Why was this even a good idea? It's not like Ultima has a lot of name recognition in the non-geek populace, and anyone who has enjoyed anything about the Ultima series will hate this.
Suppose those factors like increased absences and a couple of minor contacts with police indicate that Johnny is extremely likely to drop out of school. Maybe that's a good hint that someone needs to talk to Johnny and see if something correctable is going on in his life.
But that's not what's happening in our schools already; Just look at the Zero Tolerance statutes!
No, the way any (The US, the chicoms, the old tsarist russia, communist russia, and the emerging russian thugarchy) state entity handles things when they believe there is no possibility of retribution.
I'm very thankful that Rush Limbaugh decided his sheeple needed their own vocabulary. It provides early warning signs so I know when to stop paying attention to someone.
Many classes are already moving to a web based model where you have to pay some $70 a semester for a login. Unfortunately, that is in addition to the dead tree version that runs $170 and will net you $75 on the buy back.
It's all part of their master plan to kill off, or at least offset, the used book market.
I've recently returned to college after dropping out in 2005, and this has been the biggest, most annoying, change by far. Publishers run these 'web-enhanced' sites with study tools, drills, etc which are REQUIRED for the course by the professor. The 'new' books come bundled with a login to this portion. You can still buy the book used, but then you have to buy a login separately from the publisher.
As an example: For the math class I am enrolled in, I can buy the textbook new bundled with a login for $125, OR I can buy the used textbook online for $50 and buy the login for $75.
Just because code is text (and can be readily generated) doesn't mean that anyone with notepad should be able to write it.
Wrong. It means exactly that. BASIC was a language meant to make it easier for people to program, and it was THE introduction to programming for many people. Now, am I arguing that BASIC is the right language for any given task? no. I haven't coded in BASIC for 15 years. But making the barrier to entry easier can only be a good thing for attracting new blood.

Lay that out clearly and bluntly to the jurors. After that, you have to assume that we are all grownups who can make up our own minds.

Do you really think that the same people who would expel a 9th grade girl for bringing a butter knife to school can be trusted to be rational with this kind of information?
