Why don't you pick one good game and play it through, rather than trying to play everything? You don't need to play everything. I'd rather not have developers water down their games for people who don't really enjoy games enough to play a long one. If developers started making 2 hour games, I wouldn't play any of them. You would have to make games ridiculously shallow experiences to complete them in 2 hours. You don't even begin to get into the groove of a good RPG until you've sunk 8-10 hours into it.
I think it will more than do so - most people are basically inconsiderate in the end. If they get their gameplay out of it, they're really not going to worry about what the second-hand purchaser is getting when they go to gamestop to make their trade-ins.
There's a selfish motive for not buying games you can't resell at a high price. If I buy a $50 and resell it at $30, I've only spent $20 in that transaction. If I buy a $50 game and can only resell it at $10, I've spent $40. In either case I get the same amount of entertainment out of the game, but I'm paying twice as much for the undesirable game.
Yes, some of the challenges are the same from game to game. But Nethack has a way of presenting entirely new challenges as well. You always end up missing something you need, it's always something different, and how you cope with that is a different story each time.
until you get a supreme court justice to agree with you, its not unconstitutional.
Supreme Court justices are people too. They are every bit as corrupt as anyone else in government. The Constitution is the law of the land, not whatever the Supreme Court says. When the Supreme Court blatantly disregards what the Constitution says, what recourse do we have?
Unfortunately my representatives, and even the Supreme Court are all complicit in ignoring the Constitution. Not to mention most of the American people.
Also, RS-232. My latest motherboard didn't come with a port, but there's a header on the motherboard. A simple adapter and I can communicate directly with just about any computer from the last 30 years.
Nethack creates a new story every time you play. The goal is the same, but the trials and tribulations of the hero are different every time. You never play the same game of Nethack twice.
The word you're looking for is 'toy'. Lego and Minecraft are toys. This is not meant as a value judgment, but just to distinguish them from games. Games (whether monopoly, poker, or civilization) have rules, goals, and ends.
If you're so hard up on oaths, let's give Obama and Bush the same treatment we've given Manning. They have both utterly violated their oath to protect the Constitution.
Until people at the top start going to jail for their crimes, I can't hold anyone beneath them responsible. I'd much rather the military be ineffectual due to no one following orders than to have a well oiled machine under the command of criminal thugs like Bush and Obama.
Not here. 1/60th of a second would be 1 frame, which would be an imperceptible delay. I would LOVE that. Mine is much, much slower. Maybe this has changed since 10.4, I don't have an Intel Mac to try.
Yes. It doesn't sound like much but it's better than what we've seen from the commercial realm. There are no proprietary tiling window managers. There are other desktops with a cube. There are no proprietary file managers that encompass the breadth of information that kio-slaves can access. There are no proprietary minimalist browsers. And there sure as hell isn't anything as extensible as Bioconductor.
It's true, there is nothing new under the sun. Any innovation you wish to point to, from open source or proprietary development can be traced to something that preceded it. So sure, you can glibly dismiss any list of innovations if you're predisposed to do so.
Fortunately, Apple does not do any of these things with Mac desktops or servers. I'm free to change anything I want
How do you configure the dock to auto-hide and reappear with no delay? As it is it takes about half a second to pop up, which is long enough to get annoyed at it. The only thing worse than a laggy UI is a UI with delays deliberately built into it. Ugh.
I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know how to change it. I haven't found any suggestions on the internet.
Nonsense. The most popular apps are like all the other mainstream apps because people like what they're used to. That doesn't mean there's no innovation in open source. What proprietary software shop offers anything like xmonad? compiz? uzbl? KIO-slaves? Where did we first see ad blockers? Distributed P2P? Is there any proprietary software that can do what Bioconductor can do?
Office suites became feature complete back in the 90s. 99% of people could get by on the features present in Office 97. There's just no market for really innovative office suites.
The island is called Hispaniola. Neither Haiti nor the Dominican Republic can be "independent" of Hispaniola. It's not a cromulent phrase. Similarly, Scotland cannot be independent of Britain. It could become independent of the United Kingdom.

I'm not concerned. There are enough great games from the 80s and 90s that no matter what happens in the future I won't run out of good games to play.

That corruption occurs elsewhere doesn't make it any more palatable here.
IMHO, resorting to vigilantism represents a loss of faith in the governing system we've established for society
That is exactly where we are at today. There is no good reason why anyone should have a shred of faith in our governing system.
I am aware that bankers take credit (no pun intended) for such, but that's what sociopaths do.
That's why it's modular. You wouldn't use netbook modules on a desktop.

Debian's nvidia driver has always been an iffy proposition. Try removing all the nvidia packages and install with nvidia's installer.
Funny, when I use the free drivers my screen flickers.

In the United States it was determined by the supreme court that requiring someone to identify him/herself is unconstitutional*.
That is not true.
Fast forward to now, since the x86 macs, they can finally actually run MS-DOS programs. (boot disk of course)
Can you actually run MS-DOS on an intel mac? Is the lack of BIOS support not a problem?

Watermelon has an odd flavor. Musk melon is much superior.
And sure, anything fried is edible. I'd really rather have it grilled and basted with honey mustard, or covered in parmesan and baked.
