doesn't need information from any sort of "Internet". A good Communist can get his information from the nearest "People's Knowledge Station". Come on, get with the times man! Communism provides for all the needs of it's people.
You take five points mana burn at the end of your turn, then I lightning you for three points before the begining of my turn.
Seriously though, I agree with you, especially with the bit about drag-n-drop programming. It's sort of like listening to someone who 'writes' webpages using Netscape Composer and says "I'm a webmaster!"(think of Ralph Wiggam when you read that).
"Cap'n, I don't know how much longer I can hold her togetha! We're running out of methane hydrate crystals!"
Seriously though, I hate to sound like I don't care, but the Earth isn't going to last as a stable ecosystem for humans. The face of the planet has, without the help of outside(living) forces, been completely decimated. So, why not take full advantage? Besides which, I do not look forward to any afterlife, therefore, I don't see much of a fear of 'raping' the Earth. I say go for it, the world is going to get worse before it gets better.:S
Don't confuse pessemism with rational thought. Most folks will hem and holler saying "See, I told you it would work"; fact is, they are looking for a way to keep you from getting the chance to do just this. As I remember, there have been several attempts to do just this... but not by the publisher. They were all shot down by the litigation depts. of the respective publishers.
Wow, someone with half a brain. You actually sound intelligent. Why not post with a username? Are you afraid that people might get angry with you because you don't agree with the hivemind?
Hey, I say it's a great idea. Why manufacture weapons of mass destruction, when we could just have nature do it for us? I say go for it! Kill the world and have it done with.
It it interesting to me that when you scan to see if you are posting a redundant topic you find none... and then you are modded down for being redundant. I guess being here first means nothing.
Hey, screw you pal. I never for once said I wanted it for free so fuck off. I'm fully willing to pay for games... Unless you didn't read the whole post, you would have noticed that I said I would _BUY_ GameCube games. That takes money... I'm not the only person out there that is willing to shell out the bucks for a Linux version of a game. Get your shit straight or don't bother saying anything.
I'm fucking sick of hearing from game makers that they will release their title on GNU/Linux... shortly after the Windows release. Bullshit. Utter bullshit. They will either _not_ release it, or wait a few fucking months after the Windows release... that way, noone is playing it anymore and is interested in the next game. I'm sick of it and I'm not going to deal with it any more. I'll just buy a GameCube game instead of doing this stupid "Hey, this company is pretty cool because they support GNU/Linux... This company is shit because they lied about supporting GNU/Linux! Fuck them all!
I had two customers who had different models of Maxtors... both died within months. I have a closet full of WD Caviars that I still use whenever I want a backup data drive. OLD disks. Hell, I generally shy away from whatever Best Buy is pushing on folks anyway... I guess that's why I never bought an NVidia based card;)
Leonardo: What kind of burritos are those?
Randal: The expensive kind.
Leonardo snatches fuming box of Descreto Burritos from Randal
Leonardo: I must have them... ahh, exquisit!
Leonardo turns green after having taken a bite, but forces himself to take bite after bite.
I've seen this sort of behaviour all my life. I doubt it will ever change. It seems like to me though it is a lot like the ol' East/West Arms Conflict of yester-year. One great big penis envy match.
Generaly, if you are using one of those "compile me" distros, you won't bother with the installer anyway. You're making a point that doesn't matter in 99% of the time.
I would agree with you, but the problem is the funding... not the lack of it, but the origin. It's all public funding. I can understand hiring a person who is more qualified for slightly higher pay, but I cannot see a person getting hired, then trained(even if they are fully qualified). Reason being, they can take that training and leave(and often do). It would be the tax payers paying a single person's way, when everyone else must pay on their own. I know I don't want to pay for someone else's education(and no, I don't support HOPE by purchasing lotto tickets but I can't say no to taxes).
I've been working for Georgia Southern University Library for about two years. We've bought training courses on CD, mainly for the students, but we have the ability to check them out too. That is about it as far as training goes. I must say though that you have it better, far better than most have it.
I totally understand why I can't get training, and very much respect that limitation. However, I have only heard of a couple of situations that an employer would do such a thing. Smile dude, you're livin' large! lol
This too is true. Small time movie production units wouldn't be able to region encode... they may not even release on DVD due to that limitation. I'm sure they have enough problems working out PAL/NTSC issues. Time is money, and so is the fee for encoding things...;)
Added to that, there are multinational/multilengual people that wouldn't get the chance to see something from their homeland unless they bought _another_ player.
I would write an email to their support...then take the box back. Get store credit or something. You were had. We all were. So, let them know just how much you would like to take a boot to their temple and shove the box right up their keester.

Gotta love classic lies of the white man.
Because he IS the "Man in the Mirror"!
lol
LOL, sorry, I just had to say that.

You have to protect your patent... otherwise it is null and void. EBay has been around a while.
Yeah, um... I'd like to go to Tokio.
I hope thay surv eyes-creem. Maybee evin sooshee.

Sorry, I just had to get a KS in there.
I stand corrected. :) I did not know that it did have those features.
This too is true. Small time movie production units wouldn't be able to region encode... they may not even release on DVD due to that limitation. I'm sure they have enough problems working out PAL/NTSC issues. Time is money, and so is the fee for encoding things... ;)
