Now I'm curious, do the English have more than their share of poor drivers, or just a large number of psychotic individuals who will intentionally ram cars parked along the road?
The problem with the boom is that the textile workers got into IT where they dont belong.
My, aren't we feeling elitist today. Yes, those textile workers should just accept their lot in life as plebs and forget about white-collar jobs. Those are reserved for the upper class, eh comrade?
I absolutely loved the atmosphere, characters, and dialog in Grim Fandango, if anything some of the puzzles were a bit too hard (or perhaps illogical) for me and I resorted to a walkthrough.
Too bad there's a serious bug in Year 3 that prevents completion of the game on a modern computer. (that *damn* conveyer belt!)
Anandtech uses flash for its images so that people w/o the plugin can't see the data.
In my opinion that's a pretty lame tactic. I don't mind banner ads, but animated, noisy Flash advertisements are where I draw the line. Good thing there's Firefox's Flash click-to-view plugin!
Well, it's true that anyone may sue anyone else in this country, whether they have a case or not. But what kind of judge would be sympathetic to a litigator who's claims depend entirely upon the outcome of pending litigation?
Something that disturbs me, and I don't see it mentioned here, is that SCO has not proven their case in court. Don't they have to prove their claims before they can sue anybody?
PvP in Ultima Online was originally a free for all. Anyone could just walk up to another player, whack 'em and take their loot. When I played, they had just implemented the notoriety system but it didn't seem to have any effect on behavior.
It's probably a good thing they finally went to consensual PvP, but kind of sad in a way. That takes some freedom out of the game, but unfortunately there always seems to be an element in online games that exist only to ruin the experience for other players.
I played UO for 2 weeks back in '98 or '99. I expected PVP combat, but for some reason I imagined other players to have some shred of honor. What a rude awakening to walk out of town and repeatedly get slaughtered by players many times stronger, apparently for no other reason than because PK's enjoy one-sided battles.
And when I did manage to explore the countryside, the place was full of houses, often with hoards of items inside (which caused the game to lag terribly). Nice idea, poor execution. Everquest was better, but had it's own problems.
You've got a point, VB(script) can't have more than one statement per line (afaik), so it would be impossible to write much of a program without Shift or Enter (probably a safe assumption that VBscript virus writers don't know about CTRL-J).
May I zee your papers please?.. Ah yes, these licenses are all outdated, we must perform an audit! Now, if you will just bend over for the BSA, we will begin our investivation!

In the end, it's better to be skeptical of surprising evidence than to instantly accept false claims.
I agree with you in theory, but this evidence is hardly what I'd call surprising.
So are SUV's and light trucks, but women seem to love those also. I think it's penis envy.

If they decrypt it, sue under DMCA.

I wonder how I could slow my CPU on Linux for this purpose? (I'm using Wine to play the game..)

Summs up my opinion of "design patterns" nicely, yes it does.

I think you need to wait a turn, lying in the mud. Enjoy it. Pretty soon Ford shows up and tries to give back your towel. Don't take it.
Find a full walkthrough on gamefaqs.com, and don't feel bad about cheating. HHGTTG is among the most difficult of the Infocom games I've played.

You DO know what the F. in John F. Kerry stands for, right?
Fred? Frank? Farfegnugen? Who cares?
And you DO know his wife's maiden name, right? A well known condiment.
Ketchup? Mustard? Relish? Again, who gives a rats ass?
Perhaps one might develop some intestinal fortitude along with the intestinal physical support.
Indeed, thanks to a strict vegan diet, I have the power of nine men! After morning meditation and a three-bean salad, I could chop a bus in half!
On the other hand, it's so much easier to upgrade Windows 2000 to the 2003 kernel (without reinstalling!), right? ;)
