I have Civ for the PS3, but it's not quite the same: too video-gamey
I had seen people complain about tabletop roleplaying games becoming "too videogamy"...but complaining about a videogame being "too videogamy"? This just went meta
Some of us want to run laptops, netbooks and other devices where the ability to shut down completely and then turn on quickly, using zero battery in the meantime would be very useful.
In order to not be fined $300,000usd, instead of posting glowing reviews of my product, I will start posting negative reviews of my competitor's product and will ask my sales force to spread FUD about them......
Now that Hasbro owns D&D they should try to promote it more... with a sane marketing campaign (as opposed to the braindead efforts of TSR, of which this picture is just an example)
Maybe that way the game will lose some of its "social pariah" stigma
How would you transport a few gigabytes to a new location? FTP? External HD. DVD? And very large number of floppies? I take my source code home with me on a USB drive. I currently encrypt it but I could see this being even better.
I am partial to the classic solution: Microfilm in a hollow tooth
... with vi, your keyboard becomes a huge specialized text-editing gamepad with almost a hundred buttons. Each of them has at least two functions, shifted and unshifted, so you have almost two hundred functions at a single keypress (not counting Shift).
I learned that RPG's are nothing more than fancy statistical simulations that have as much to do with simulating anything as the order of playing blackjack.
Other than the content background which I can get from reading novels, playing RPG's is about as exciting as moving numbers around a spreadsheet.
Sorry to hear that... It sounds as if you have never been in a good gaming group.
My suggestion would be to try again, playing with other people
"In a constitutional republic like the United States, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then Thoreau says the law deserves no respect and it should be broken."

As always, McGrew, it depends on who is doing it...
I have seen printed documents (books, brochures, posters) that are a marvel of simple but powerful graphic design and typography.
I have also seen printed documents that look like a ten year old with MS Paint made them
When graphic design is done right, you almost don't even notice it is there.
When it is done wrong... Well, the goggles do nothing
It is like reading the TeX source code and then reading a Visual Basic App made by a teenager
The thing is, web design has taken a while to mature and designers have done stupid things in the learning process.

Wake me up when SCO gets fined $300,000

No Tigers in the savannah... nor manholes, for that matter, but I agree wholeheartedly with your idea
Well, look on the bright side...
Now we can say, with all confidence, that the world's largest mail server runs Linux

Thanks Steve
Well, it would depend on how much code was written in each language in the original.
NeatX appears to be 90% Python, with only a few stuff in Bash and C, so its basically just a Python app
a torniqueted, recently severed hand wouldn't work?

FTP?
External HD.
DVD?
And very large number of floppies?

Well, considering that the Launchpad received multiple lightning strikes, I think it was wise to delay the launch...
After all, anyone who's read Pratchett knows that that's the way gods like to ask you to pay attention
Yeah, Ubuntu has spoiled us
During your flight does the ATC tell you, "Be careful, you are about to enter a dangerous area?
Yes, and using Majel Barrett-Roddenberry's voice, no less!
Mhmm... sounds interesting
Although of course, if true, this would mean that you would not be able to run QT/GTK applications in ChromeOS, right?
... with vi, your keyboard becomes a huge specialized text-editing gamepad with almost a hundred buttons. Each of them has at least two functions, shifted and unshifted, so you have almost two hundred functions at a single keypress (not counting Shift).
That's... not exactly the best sales pitch
I did have a bad experience with a 486 Acer long ago, so I understand your point...
However, today, I am perfectly happy with my Acer Aspire One, FWIW
Companies sometimes do change for the better, you know?
How do you know GoogleOS won't have X11?
I messed up my quote, sorry

My wife also plays D&D, thank you very much... in fact, it is one of our "together" activities
