I was hired to help update a financial company's internal software. The day I get there, I get told that the funding for the project was cancelled. I spent a summer in a file room re-organizing the hard copy of all their transactions. I'd have quit, but I needed money.
If I get Windows running on this thing (with 32k!) and I get a BSOD, do I just throw it away and get a new one instead of a reboot? Or even better, could I mail it to MS and ask for a new one?
You know, if they wanted to do a different story, that's fine. Great. Good stuff. They shouldn't, however, have called it Battlestar Galactica. They should have slapped on a different name for the Cylons, different ships, and different character names. Not that hard to do, but it would probably draw more people to watch it than tacking on a known name and then having it blow up in their faces.

I weep for humanity, for I remember the Super Mario Bros. movie.
No good can come from this.
You're the only one I know who's had a job in your dad.
Of course, everyone's had a job in your mom.

I rue the day that you can't even get through slashdot without seeing some kind of "Buy Microsoft Software at www.microsoft.com" ad.

Damn!
"Opportunity Rover on Strike: Demands Pina Coladas, Sunscreen, and 5 days off to enjoy time at beach."
The proceeds of a stamp would likely find its way into his pocket, I'm sure.

But Al Lowe is not involved.
There IS NO SEQUEL.
pretty new to the gaming scene, aren't ya?
Bastards! All of them!
Blah Blah Blah.
The Earth Mk II?
Judging by most posts on Slashdot, I'd say the damage has already been done!
The code I write is obfuscated enough as it is. I'm my own anti-piracy mechanism.
Wow, he beat me by a couple seconds. My IQ must be low. Kick me out of the gene pool now.
Holy cow, how did your post end up right ahead of mine and saying the same thing basically? Talk about coincidence.
Try Legend of the Red Dragon. Very easy to get into.
Sounds more like it was trying to equalize pressure between the space station and the vaccuum outside...
So, the next time a lamp breaks or something, I'll just go fetch a mussel and fix it with that. Cheap and easy! Just don't tell PETA.
You mean the official theory that has holes in it? Until we actually get a hold of one, it really doesn't matter, does it?
I'll just get a hot air balloon and get to the right spot and kiss those Internet access fees goodbye!

Which I think they deserve.
Since when does Norway have enough economy to need a crime unit for it? I thought all they had were fjords!
In CounterStrike, Hawking would be an AWP whore.
Someone needs to frag his ass.
