Bullfrog's Theme Park is pretty cool. Economics, layout and design, cool rides to boot.
Good feedback loop too. More cash more research better rides. Most violent part is trying to make your park patrons puke because the toilets are overflowing....
I recently upgraded from Mandrake 7.1 to 8.0. 8.0 would not recognize the 2 Dlink DFE538 nics I had installed. 7.1 picked up the cards no problem.
No big deal for me, I may get around to fixing it some day. For an average user, this kind of thing is unacceptable especially since regular users tend to buy cheap hardware because they don't understand the price/quality trade offs.
I can see the point of them, content has to be paid for...
I'm not disagreeing completely with you but does it? There are lots of people who create sites containing content about something they are interested in. Information on niche areas is often provided for entirely altruistic reasons. Should a site funded entirely by its creator with no intent to ever make a profit be hijacked by this software?
Shooting you point blank with a sniper rifle is extremely inefficient. A high velocity slug is likely to pass right through you without losing much of its kinetic energy. What you want is something like a.45 hollow point. Not as much muzzle energy but superior energy transfer due to slug expansion. Oh and remember to stick it in your mouth so you don't flinch and miss.
Not very if at all for the very specialized tasks these devices were designed for. Especially if you take boot times, power requirements and field service ability into account.
Whan that aprill and his shoures soote,
Hath perced the droughte of Marche to the roote,
And bathed evry veyne in swich liqour,
That vertue is engendred in the floure
I can read this no problem. Considerably less difficult than C.
I can see witing a little script to check the price pages untill the price drops below a certain point. Of course everyone will start doing it just like automated stock trading.
Any one want to give me a spot price for a June G6?
Rural Advancement Foundation International has a lot of information on this subject. They logiclly and coherently address the issues that patenting biologicals has for third world farmers and the small farmer in general.
Note: just b/c someones asks a question, don't automaticially assume that you're 31337 and they can't read. Sometimes, sysadmins have human like characteristics, such as making mistakes and skipping over the one sentance fragment that mentions the clue that leads to an answer
Which is we use scripts:
"I can't connect, I've uninstalled and reinstalled all the software... and it still doesn't work!"
Put a piece of nylon stocking over the end of the vacuum nozzle and secure with tape or elastics. The nylon "filter" will catch anything coming through the pipe but not impede the airflow noticeably.
Art is not property? Do tell. What is the going price for the Mona Lisa? (the original not the postcards)
"I do not want paid for my already-completed works. I expect to be paid for doing work for someone else. Huge, huge difference."
Who exactly is this "someone else" that a writer works for? The readers. Writing for the reader is the writer's "work" through which they earn money.
What you seem to fail to understand is the creation of a work of art in whatever form takes many hours of work both to research and create. If the creator wants to give the work away, fine. If the creator wants to be paid for it, fine as well.
"I do not want paid for my already-completed works."
This is exactly what a writer wants and needs to be paid for! If it ain't complete, you can't effectively sell it. (Dickensian serial novels aside. But we all know how King made out in this form.) In you terms, if a program you write compiles and is ready to ship, you don't want to be paid for it....

You are angry that's ok. Canadian Firefighters have been in New York city since Wednesday. Blood donor clinics are backed up in Canada.
We All Do That! CNN: flood kills 500 in China no Americans harmed.
Up here in Canada, after the initial horror of it all our networks were asking how many Canadians were affected.
This is normal behaviour for any group.

Let see mortgage, car payments, food and clothing for the kids. Nope don't have an extra 2 grand lying around.
;)
Of course blackbox goes like stink on a 233.
Ok then my 2 cents (1 cent US).

It goes further than this. 90% of all user will never change I.E.'s default settings. Whatever MS decides to put in is pretty much gospel.
The question here is who decides *... the way that helps the user the most*? For this kind of software, is it really the user?

I wouldn't be very happy about this.

I am running ELKS on an 8088 laptop. Can't run much as of yet but it does carry a major coolness factor.
The most depressing part was having watch the damn thing!

Oxygen depleted....
Turning blue....
CO2 levels over max...
Must breathe....
Uuughhh....
All your links are belong to us!
Sorry about that.
Nicely done!
The defaults will of course be set by Microsoft and probably for 90% of all users will never be changed.
Yes but you have to ask to see the related sites rather than have them some MS gnome linkify them for you.
