Or instead of installing Ubuntu from CD they could install Debian Testing from a web page. It's like Ubuntu, only it's blue and has more packages available.
My girlfriend was a typical "get frustrated first, ask how to fix it later" windows user; with just enough knowledge to make her way about excel, word, and a web browser. Her computer became horribly broken from trojans and viruses and rather than doom myself to an endless succession of repairs I/handed her an ubuntu CD/. I didn't install ubuntu, I gave her the CD and told her that she merely needed to restart her computer with the CD in the drive to install it, being sure to email her personal data to herself before hand.
You know what? She prefers linux. Can use linux. Doesn't become frustrated with Linux.
She scoffs at Windows now.
I don't know this average computer user you speak of, but the one I know well coped just fine with using Ubuntu.
The original Sam & Max started with the two busting through a brick wall in their car and saving a woman in distress. This new one starts with them searching a messy office for cheese.
If you're an easily distracted director, you should have an assistant director or producer that's really good at putting their foot down when it's time to start work, and you should listen to them.
No. You shouldn't be a director at all.
Romero wasn't a capable leader, you say as much yourself. Though it's quite possible he's changed since then it was his direction and flaky leadership that caused Ion Storm to hemorrage money and the game under his direction to be mediocre.
Ion Storm was the house that Romero built and he's ultimately responsible for the decisions he made. That includes the rediculous suite rented for the company, the crazy furnishings, the slack development curve, the poor design directions made for Daikatana, etc.
I'm just thankful Tom Hall was semi-autonomous. Anachronox is a damn fun game.
Stills mean very little, I'd like to see a side-by-side of actual footage in motion. Our mind is capable of incredible image approximation given very little motion, I'm unconvinced that having a greater colour depth and a relatively small increase in resolution will have an effect great enough to warrant the replacement of my media collection.
What's the incentive to loan without revenue generated via interest or fees? Fees include a rather broad range of revenue facets, from processing fees through to revenue streams generated upon completion of the invested project.
The modern market does not suffer interest-free, fee-less loans.
The real problem is that your employers didn't recognise their employee's discontent and ambition. Rather than opening a discussion to improve the quality of their employment they chose to become displeased. It's no wonder they're experiencing employee retention issues, they have an aggressive and hostile methodology in dealing with their employees.
Like most people who maximize spending to the capacity of their income (or speculative future ability to pay interest), it was his choice to do so. There was no dire necessity for housing, food, clothing, etc which would require him to spend in excess. If he's in dire need of continuation of these funds then he should seriously think about liquidating his assets and clearing his debts, unless, of course, he thinks he can make another 3.5 million a year somewhere else.
Imagine the wealth he would have if he'd spent/saved his money wisely? Or the piece of mind he could have if he let go of the trappings of social pressure to consume? Hell, he could've funded his artistic passion for the rest of his life if he'd been frugal with his money. I suppose, though, if it wasn't his real passion, and greed alone drives his lust for income, then id is better off without him.
Given the history of the situation this situation reads like a self-spoiled over-spender having their gravy train ripped from them after sorrowly disappointing their business partners. He gambled that he could hold out for more, and got bit in the ass as a result. Now he's trying to back out of a contract he agreed to and negotiated himself.
Stabbed in the back? Hardly. He's a greedy disappointment.
He wasn't being partisan. As an obvious example, Democrats voted heavily in favour of the Patriot act too.
Why can't someone lament the failings of government without automatic assumptions of partisanship?
And, frankly, if you want a Christian Government, instead of bitching about those trying to make clear the seperation of church and state, why not push for a core constitutional change that strictly proclaims your country the United States of Christian America? Stop bickering and pretending to compromise, push for what you/really/ want already!
Considering what a huge segment of the market cumshots, BDSM, humiliation, public nudity, and other "deviant" pornography make up I think it's fairly obvious that the American consumers are going to look elsewhere for the product. As such, they'll probably replace all physical porn purchasing with online porn, if they haven't already, from other countries. At the very least this crackdown is only going to hurt the multi-billion dollar American porn industry.

I think it's still problematic, because you know, Sponsored Winter Games never occur in Whistler, just outside of Vancouver.
There is no such thing as a former Dreamcast fan. There are only Dreamcast fans who lament its early commercial demise.

No.

Somehow I think some of the energy was lost.
They wouldn't be risk takers if the system was set up to consistently reward them, now would they?
2001 called, they want their troll back.

They left out 3dfx.
Seems a little glaring, given the effect they had.
No. You shouldn't be a director at all.

The people pirating it often do not care that what they're using is a nasty hack. Esp. when the alternative is buying a new computer.

Move on, move on.
You believe in the Bible and the Free Market?
Ever hear of Usury? It's the basis of the Free Market and one of your pal's Jesus' pet pieves.
Or do you not believe he threw the money lenders out of the church?

So what happened to the engineer who created it in the first place?
