Point 1) I don't think they can stop FreeCiv (see Monopoly clones)
2) The game mechanics for Civilization probably took many man hours to make/design, protecting it to a point encourages people to come up with.
3) I hope I still nhave a job/relationship 2 weeks after civIV comes out.
Note, I do not think FreeCiv cuts in on Civilization in an real way, but if it was a perfect clone compatable with mods and multiplayer I bet it would, and there wopuld be lawsuits.
The RIAA has an expensive business model. Most people involved do not make mch money, just a few at the top , artists and managers alike(like pretty much anywhere). People get into because they want to take the risk. The artists choose to go with the RIAA because they want the big $$$$. There are examples of artists who do well otherwise (Fugazi springs to mind), so instead of blaming the RIAA blame the greedy artists who want to make it big.
T-mobile with 1000 minutes $45.99 promotion (so they said), 400 messages for $4.99, and T-mobile web (IM, some WWW, and POP email (outlook is extra)) $5.99)
The phone is a Nokia 6800, the screen is tiny, but thed keyboard is way better then a blackberry, free with contract from some vendors, otherwise still fairly cheap.
If the phone is strictly for work you can get 1000 minutes for $39.99, but you won't get free weekends.
Also Danger has a link to a place offering Sidekick 2 for free with mail in rebate, it has a camera but for unlimited messages/real internet for $20.00 it is $9.00 more a month but a real nice phone.
I get (in the US) for $57.00 a month 1000 minutes (over 20 billable days), 400 text/picture/whatevewr else they thought of messages, and unlimitted use of a limitted internet (only web and email ports allowed), which amounts to free 411, directions, yellow pages, reverse phone lookup, news, weather, and movie times. I have coverage in pretty much anywhere I want to go. for an optional 1 year contract I got a free phone that exactly matched the specs I wanted (keyboard, no camera), The neywork would have to be very compelling (on price, I can't think of any other features I would use).
Previously for a little bit more ($10-$15) I had all that but pretty much complete US coverage.
Also, I don't know if Finland is like this, but last time I was in Europe calling a Cell phone cost $0.10/min which makes them poor replacements for regular phones.
Well, the government shouldn't be arresting closing down fantasy sites ever, and of the was clear understanding up front Max Hardcore shouldn't be stopped either, but of course they returned everything next day there.
The pornographers would have far more credabity if they were honest though. Quotes for the site:
"I rape her ass & make it gape like a pipe"
" In Berlin, I find a teen on vacation with her folks. As soon as they ain't looking, I get her up to my room, force-fuck her ass, & piss down her throat! "
" I force girls to drink my piss, fist-fuck them, ream their asses, and drill their throats until they puke! I don't give a fuck who they are, where they came from, or how old they are! - Max"
Quote from Max in his defence: "I will fight to protect my liberty as well as the liberty of consenting adults to watch other adults engage in lawful, consensual, pleasurable sexual action."
I will assume that the "rape" comment fromt he site was not litteral (I am no prude, but I am not watching to find out), so the lawful acts is probably true, but clearly it is not meant to be "pleasurable sexual action". Just be honest and say the tapes are of lawful, and consensual action and leave it at that, and you will be far more credible.
when you go to blah.blah.nyud.net:8090 it checks if it has a copy, if it does it gives the copy, if it does not it gets a copy og the requested stuff and saves it for others.
The problem is if the Corel Cache link is put up post/.ing it can't get a copy either.
So Coral Cache links need to be put in the blurb, but 2 posts deep in the comments.
Actually a lot of AssHats^H^H^H^H^H^H^HPoloticians (I spel good) on both sides are passing bullshit laws like this.
I would say the attributes you apply to Republicans could be applied to conservatives, which many Republicans are, but many are not too.
Rick Santorum for example said "Governement should legislate the best case" in reggards to marriage. That is hardly deciding their own family values and leaving people alone.
Also the Republicans were all over special session of congress to force the supreme court to fuck with states rights over a vegatable. Of course when thousands of lives are at stake it is states rights and not incompetance that makes it so they can't intervine.
Of course when the Democrats ever regain power there will be plenty of asshattery and hipocritizm along with general incompatance from them too.
Don't know the exact quote, but Sun Tzu has some wisdom that applies.
(paraphrased)"commanding many is the same as commanding few, it is generally a matter of organization".
So I would read some general stuff on how to do this (Practical C Programming has a short chapter for example, but you probably want a book all about it). I would then do what they do with their few to few thousand line sample meticulously to the whole thing as the parent post suggests.
You need to flow chart the whole thing with notes, then it can be subdivided much more easily as someone working on a block of code will know its context, but everyone will need a fairly good grasp of the flowchart to analize a segment properly.
In the quote replace commanding with reconstructing meaning of code, I am not giving management advice. I think this would be obvious, but once I said Avril Lavigne was punk with a sarcasm tag and still people thought it was serious, so I take nothing for granted.
Google Local and switchboard.com greatly enhance my phones utility.
I can get addresses, directions, find services, get free 411, and do a reverse number lookup from my car (not while driving).
I also get pages when I am emailed and can check my email within seconds of receiving it.
All this from a phone that cost me nothing (with a one year contract) and for $7.99 a month.
Other features of the internet that I would miss but not too much are the weather, movie listings (don't need to find a newspaper at 10:00 at night), and news services.
All of these features can be had at no cost to size of phone. I also have a keyboard on my phone that folds out and costs a little bit in size, but was worth it because now I can check and respond to email everywhere I can more easily take time off from work, it also makes the internet services more useful.
Also with less adds and pictures it could be argued the internet is of higher quality.
I got it back in the 6.0 days and loved it, for $30.00 you got 6 CDs (that changed with 6.1), but what was greatest about it was YAST (pre X YAST).
I could now do the install proccess without re-installing, which meant as a total noob I could add hardware and packages.
With Rehat (5.2) I re-installed when I changed my soundcard because I was too noobish.
Eventually when Debian had newer packages than my SUSE I switched to it, because I could do hardware stuff with modconf and software packages with dselect, but SUSE is still awsome.
I switched back when they had a free download of their x86-64 version a while back (I think listed as a trial). I will definatly be getting this.

Damn Sony is a whole season behind Nintendo on that one.
House (from House M.D.) played with a DS instead of working for a couple weeks last season.
I would think it is real useful for low end desktops in general.
I know the computer my parents baught 2Ghzish celeron was slower at Americas Army than my 800Mhz Celeron
I had a high end GeForce 2 they had a low end Geforce 4.
I bet that the extra speed could have gone some distance to close the distance between them with good software.
Basic math lesson:
40$ != 20$
not for the non ad hominem part:

I mean 4 weeks times 5 days as in not 30 billable days.
over as in devision not more than, stupid ambiguity.
FWIW the anology was just a joke, they are worthless.
Also I felt it weakened my point, not strengthen it, but again, joke.
I still think service has a more specific term in compyter use, so calling it a DoS is, at least, a little contrived IMHO.

I alwayays just assumed it was a last name.
It does not deny you the service of having weaccess it denies yoiu one browser (sort of).
Time for a weak non-sensical car anology:
If you get in an accident while riding a cab, you can still use cab service.
what is so great about their service/phones?
this is serious even if a little trollish.

Don't forget the Pixie dust to charge the ful cells.
they need to be charged, I don't think anyone is researching Pixie dust tech, but everyone is doing the next best thing (cold fusion).

yeah, Zimbra is a collaborative suite, presumably a replacement for another one.
Roundcube is a nice client for IMAP email access that leaves everything in tact (probably a lot lower requirements too).
when you go to blah.blah.nyud.net:8090 it checks if it has a copy, if it does it gives the copy, if it does not it gets a copy og the requested stuff and saves it for others.
/.ing it can't get a copy either.

can stereo headphones help you distinguish front from back somehow?
Their ISPs could redirect every page they went to to an explanation in bold print. It would get noticed.
Gee, when I rip in windows it's
insert CD, click WMP.
Click rip.
Sounds like Windows is at the same place as Linux on this one.
Of course on BeOS it was even easier.
Insert CD
copy files to HD.

In fact, unlike Slackware, SUSE doesn't even recomend that you install every package.
Virus is usually to describe something that spreads (is contagous) and can be a benign (excpet the spreading part) proof of concept for example.
Trojan Horse must be malicious or detrimental, and does not spread at all.
Malicious is not read Virus, Malicious is Malicious, and Virus is Spreading.
Everything on that list is a plain text copy of the key info kept securly.
I don't see hopw this differs from storing the info plain text on the drive and keeping it secure (in a saftey deposit box) a few hours away.
In the bag itself I would keep only what was needed to get to the saftey deposit box.
I imagine you don't encrypt your credit card or your social security card either, but I could be wrong.
That is supposed to say
"There are Computer Games, LARPs, and Table Top Games" at the start.
and summerize by saying the knowledge of what RTS means in a gaming context is at least as common as what LARP means in the same context.
