I've worked with.Net for six years and am unaware of "all kinds of issues"
What have you been doing? I've had all kinds of issues, from network connections being dropped even though they weren't, to the encryption libraies randomly (about one in 100,000 times) incorrectly encrypting a block, to projects that will only compile in release mode and not debug mode, to those stupid web projects that were broken from their inception, to code that runs find when compiled in debug mode but when in release mode (even with the same intermediate code) doesn't execute some of the blocks of code causing an error.
That's only the tip of the iceberg (especially when you include all the VStudio issues) and I've only been working with.NET for 2 years. (I would add that I've never had those kind of problems with Java or just about anything else I've worked with)
the first of those is all but impossible to capture in an online manner
Try working on an open source project if you want to be surrounded by other driven 'students', it's perfectly possible to copy that kind of driven / 'competitive' environment online.
an IP address isn't useful on it's own, but with a time stamp it could be used to identify at least a users home address. It's still not useful for identifying the person because there pc could be hacked, but try telling that to the police when they come banging on your door asking you about kiddie porn or terrorist activities.
What would you prefer, kids who flunked out playing computer games in their own homes or kids who flunked out dealing crack on street corners and generally causing havoc.
since he like most musicians ended up selling the copyrights to this music (something that I fail to see any argument for being legal in the first place)
I work, I don't get to keep the copyright on my work why should musicians be any different.
In you sister's case I believe it is reasonable for the seller to simply repair the product Last time I checked so long as the fault was found in a 'reasonable' amount of time the buyer is entitled to a full refund as the product was faulty / not fit for purpose when sold.
it's a good job I've already downloaded them and all the people who have been blowing us up seem to have been trained in Pakistan which last time I checked was outside the EU.
Anyhow, all you have to do is pickup a good encyclopaedia to find out the same info.
How long does this implied warranty last, and do you have some links to some docs.
My sister got a laptop from PC World and the fan stopped working so the laptop started overheating, this had happened within a few months of buying the laptop.
I asked the store for a replacement not a fix as the overheating may have damaged other components and the laptop was obviously unfit when it was sold and the guy in the store told me that could only do a repair.
In the end, after a phone call from PC World (which I wasn't there for) they ended up telling my sister to disable the overheating protection, the next time I spoke to her I told her to immediately turn it all back on. Fortunately the fan started working again, but for how long is anyone's guess.
The moral of the story is, don't buy anything from PC World if you expect anything from the warranty.
Maybe I've just never meet a woman who is technically and not emotionally minded, but if that's the case wouldn't it be down to a little more than just conditioning.
If you look at the history books you'll find women used to do worse academically then men, that was until they started to skew the exams in favour of women (more course work less exams and different types of exams)
granted, but that still doesn't mean that the vast majority of people who know about/do Linux and OSS in the world are men, even more so than the number of women in Computer related jobs would suggest if it was purely down to conditioning.

So I guess you can't be a member of the KKK in Florida, or hold clown conventions.
the code is a behemoth, and takes time and skill to understand.
Last time I wanted to do some development on openoffice (some years ago) the documentation was amazing.
quantum computers aren't really general purpose machines and wouldn't be able to replace traditional CPUs for a lot of tasks.
because flash is really slow.

More than a few indicated that our not willing to give them source code was why they didn't use/buy our product.
That seem fair enough to me, you can even get the source code for Windows now adays.
If they want the source, charge them for it and slap on a big NDA etc...
You can get guitars without strings.
did you ever try DR DOS?

unfortunately for Stallman a recent /. poll showed that there are very few commies left in the world.
I may care about freedom in the communist sense but others only care about open source and free as in beer.

and you can easly get a cracked copy of Steinberg's Cubase.

Where do you live? your one hell of a lucky man.
This probably isn't going to be a native port if transgaming is doing it.
But doesn't eve already run under wine for free?
no logic and reason isn't helping you learn.

They also tend to do better academically
If you look at the history books you'll find women used to do worse academically then men, that was until they started to skew the exams in favour of women (more course work less exams and different types of exams)
I also think that if you told my wife any of your prejudices, she'd kick your ass.
See violent and irrational.

don't even get me started on religious nuts.
