Not if you take into account that TFA was posted on an Australian site (though they were quite good at hiding that fact) and the current USD/AUD exchange rate...
I doubt you bought your house in some random shop in a small box, or got it shipped by post.
Buying a house is a bit more sophisticated than buying a game... and the authorities (which will print you your new deed) know about it, which I doubt as far as your game is concerned.
Then again, getting a new copy of that deed isn't going to be free either - it'll probably cost more than the 9.99 USD you pay for a brand spanking new copy of UT2004...
np: Venetian Snares - Masodik Galamb (Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett)
Hell, I can't even play my copy of UT2004 now because I lost my CD key last time I moved. What else do I own that I could permanently lose just because I can't find a little card with like 16 characters on it?
Boo-fucking-hoo.
Exactly what prevented you from making a backup of those "16 characters"? Definitely not Epic, but you act like it's their fault. And since it's their servers you connect to they have every right to have you authenticate with the CD key they supplied with the manual - is that too much to ask?
Sorry, but it's not as if CD keys themselves were copy protected in any way, shape or form - it takes like ten or fifteen seconds to make a backup by typing them into a text file that you back up with the rest of your important stuff...
Re:Building your own kernel these days ain't easy

Linux 2.6.27 Out
·
· Score: 1
But 2.6 is so complex with so many options which frankly mean nothing to me , that you would end up with a right dogs dinner thats far worse than anything the distributions could produce and you'll probably find you missed out some important functionality and/or dependency for something to work correctly and have to start again.
I take the idea of basing your configuration on the options that your distribution uses for their kernels never crossed your mind...
IMO, something like the FF3 persistent "do you want to remember this password" bar would make a good starting point as far as UI. Don't force the user to click or interact with the warning, just have it up there, and they can dismiss it if they want.
Using such a bar means that the confidential information that you don't want to get handed to third parties is already out of the bag, since any warning and dealing with the warning will happen after the fact.
That's nice for remembering passwords, but not for security. Or at least finding out after the fact that you just submitted your preciousss credit card number to some random third party isn't exactly my idea of secure security...
1) Get linked on Slashdot 2) Have servers turned into smoldering remains 3) Take servers offline 4) Turn on caching 5) Put servers online again 6) ??? 7) Proffit
Gah... why do I never have mod points when I need them?:(
Anyway, check out the demos on the site - they'll also allow you to play any of the many player-made level sets ("holds"), though with only one set of graphics instead of six.
Oh, and there are binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X...
np: Spooky - Belong (Echo Space Dub) (Open (Disc 2))
He recommends disabling journalling and using RAID instead?
So exactly how will a RAID make sure the filesystem metadata is still intact when I yank out the power cable for fun and no profit, as opposed to using a filesystem with a journal?
Sheesh... that's just begging for an accident to happen.

Absolutely.
There's not even a link in the summary, so even a /. editor should be able to tell a question being asked from news being submitted...

No - it's the Gay Nigger Avatar Association of course!

Auf Wiedersehen Monty!

Fixed that for you...

Btw, one the best and most influential rappers is white. *cough*Eminem*cough*
Emin-who?
Sage Franics, Aesop Rock, Alias, Dose One, Scroobius Pip, El-P and dozens of others also happen to be white, and you cite freaking Eminem?
Oi.
YES. Yes. Ye...
No. NO. NO! NO!!1!elf
(Apologies to Monty Python's "Life Of Brian", obviously...)
np: Move D & Benjamin Brunn - Radar (Songs From The Beehive)
What's with the constant OpenDNS slashvertisements?
Why would anyone in their right mind replace a distributed system that gets overloaded often enough with a single point of failure?
Have oodles of servers been slashdotted in vain?
np: Spooky - Belong (Open (Disc 1))

That's nothing that a bit of camo paint and not plugging it in in the first place can't solve, of course...

1. Embrace

As far as Flash and this article is concerned, I'd say we're at step 2 currently. So step 3 can't be that far off... :P

Yes.

Then build another arc right next to it and paint them both yellow...
BAM! Instant McDonalds advertisement!

You guys do know that you can set the width and height of the reply box using that "Options" button beneath it, right?
I've set it to 80x25 once, and that was that...
