No Skyrim here, but I wonder if HL.exe is even more common. I can't remember the last time I played Half life, Half Life 2, or DOD, but it loads every time for TF2.
How many children know what they want to spend their lives on at the age of 15? Hell, how many even know that by the time they are 30, and haven't just been caught in the cycle of working to pay off school/house/car/medical loans and bills, for a career they were encouraged to pursue? Reading here at/., it seems that telling people to fuck off and letting the kid live and be a kid, would have been healthier for some of the posters.
Personally, I wish I didn't screw off so much in HS (or played football, then half of my teachers may have acknowledged me), and would have learned chemistry and math. So many of my interests now as an adult require good math as a foundation to proceed further. It didn't help either that I had no one in my life who was either not too busy, or unable to articulate why these subjects are important.
I'm 34 today, and back in school. Finally making the effort to learn algebra, so I may continue on and take courses in chemistry and geology, for my own personal interest. I can finally see worlds of my interests coming into reach, I have never been happier in my life. Please don't take those opportunities from kids in school today.
Bullshit. You are welcome to walk the street at any hour and talk about anything you want. However, once you use a bullhorn or even start shouting, then you've become a nuisance. This is not an issue about free speech. No one is stopping you from expressing your thoughts or opinions, however, you do not have the right to force your speech or expressions upon anyone else.
I have to agree with A. Coward, Facebook has been synonymous with privacy conflicts since it opened its registration to the general public. That people willingly share personal information, which may have serious effect on their lives, even legally, is beyond me. As the Facebook spokesperson said, the failure is on the user and that Facebook's robust privacy controls have worked as intended.
I believe this is a true case of 'It's not a bug, it's a feature', in that while it may affect users negatively, those who are mining Facebook's databases, their customers, are getting more of the information they seek.
I'm taking an English class, and was warned that even that is considered plagiarism and if caught it would not be treated any differently than outright copying.
I still occasionally use Logic Audio, (Platinum 4.8.2) but in Win XP, and I admit it is a cracked copy. I only use a cracked copy because the serial dongle for my copy of Gold 4.8.2 has not worked for years. And while it matters little in the eyes of the lawyers or marketers, I do not use any of the features of Platinum, or Gold for that matter and would have been entirely happy using Silver, except that my floppy disc with authorization keys got mangled. I upgraded to gold to avoid having to deal with that issue again, only to have to deal with a failed dongle later on. I've given two opportunities and $400, only to be screwed. It may be a 'sense of entitlement' to feel that I should have the right to use Logic Audio, but I feel justified as I paid for it.
When Apple bought Emagic and announced that Windows would no longer be supported, rather than migrate to a Mac, I froze my audio environment. I'm a hobbyist afterall, and am not bothered by not having the latest and greatest even if there are true benefits.
I'm back in school again after nearly 15 years and almost every book sold at the school bookstore was shrink wrapped with an access code. The worst offender I have encountered so far is my Math 060 book for Pre-Alg - after tax $233 (Pearson Learning Solutions). Alone, the access code was $120 about on the shelf behind the counter. This code and computer access is required to get our class notes and do our homework assignments. Thankfully, I didn't have to buy the iClicker remote for another $40. Still for a basic class like Pre-Algebra, I find this disgusting.
I have been stopped more times than I can count, and I am white. I suppose to the officer, maybe knowing that I smoked tobacco as a teen, was 'good reason' enough to stop and frisk me as I walked down the street.
I've also been stopped by the police a couple years ago, for jaywalking. Yes, jaywalking. It was a Sunday morning, raining, with no traffic on the roads (well, one car several blocks away). I crossed while the light was red. After walking about a block, an officer (the only vehicle out) pulls onto the opposite side of the road, facing traffic, and threatens from the driver's seat, that he can put me in jail for up to 3 days. For jaywalking.
I would much rather hear the 'whoosh' of a windmill all day, than feel that skin crawling, bone tingling, feeling when I cross under the high tension power lines.
Im a self-taught hobby user, I do not have any formal education with programming or computer science. My first language was Python even before HTML & CSS. So my opinion may be biased in favor of Python. It was in 2009 that I finally decided to dig in and learn some PHP and MySQL.
Personally, from my perspective, I think that PHP is a messed up looking language and not very intuitive for me to work in. I much prefer Python, though I do notice the difference in how well my CGI scripts performed compared to PHP versions. I am not familiar with any of the PHP or Python website framework tools. I build everything by hand.
I first got online in the late 90s and liked the philosophy of the web being an open place where anyone can publish anything they want. HTML was easy to learn and generally effective, but static pages end up taking a lot of time to maintain and a lot more time yet, should the design change. A dynamic database backed site, while a little more complex, can make maintenance and modification a bit easier and more fun. While PHP isn't ideal, it does work. I would like to see something more Pythonic available though. I think this would help lower the barrier to being able to build simple web based tools or sites for common users.
As it is there is already quite a lot to learn and grasp to begin to make an appealing website. Graphics and visual presentation, site/data organization, html, css, web host, general computer and internet, and then there are databases and scripting languages if the developer want to get the most out of their site or tools. I'm not saying this is hard stuff to learn. Though it is time consuming. I think though anywhere it can be made easier for the common user to learn, and learn properly, would be best for us all.
In addition, the mobile phone networks and their cell towers need to be sabotaged. As long as they are used against us and we lack the means of having full access to these devices.
Ive explored LMMS a little and its a great tool, but it is not very stable on my system. Though, I am happy to see that there are regular updates to the software and it is always improving.
While it unfortunate that like many popular genres of music a lot of crap floats to the surface, but there are always a few gems to be found.
While my evidence is anecdotal, I find it an interesting relationship that as the churches have less and less influence on in hospitals and medicine, it seems that accountability for actions and behavior have also diminished.

Thanks. Now I'm reading all comments to that tune in my head.

Your supporting examples aren't very convincing.

I wonder how much of what Sweden paid, was actually paid for by the US?

Which ones in particular? That video is so full of sin.

"Mommy, what did they do in Sodom that was sinful?"
Sodomed liked there was no Gammorah.
Personally think there's more value in the 2.6Billion or so rover than the 4B+ spent baby-slinging and shit-kissing
I'm in 100% agreement with you. If my comment came across unclear, I apologize.
At least the funds and effort for this project weren't used to kill anybody who disagreed with it.
I find that this is only true about 83% of the time, however my evidence may be anecdotal.
Be careful not to make the same mistake as QWERTY, in placing the Y before U and I.

Id also like to give mention to Komodo Edit. I've been using this for a couple years now (as a hobby user*) and it fits my needs well.
