    FLGS (Friendly Local Games Stores) MY ASS. Their are two comic shops in my area that sell D&D related products. They offer no discounts, do not say hello to yo when you walk into the store and the keep all the RPG books shrink wraped with signs around that say if you open it you buy it.

    I am sorry, but when I was in Dallas we had several great FLGS, but not in the area I am in now.

    That is why I order from internet based stores because the FLGS do not want my money.

    Die now.

    The Model M is the perfect keyboard for all typing and self defense purposes.

    To speak ill of the Model M isn't allowed.

  10. QT costs too much. on Slackware Likely To Drop GNOME Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only way for KDE to win is if Novell buys and LGPL's QT. Otherwise it is too expensive for small / midsize shops to buy the licenses need to ship their QT projects.

    Try getting your manager to approve such a large purchase these days when GTK is free. It is very difficult.

    No other keyboards are worthy of even being called a keyboard.

    It is that simple.

    Not if it is like the weather sat that got dropped because the bolts where not attached. What happend is the contractor had to give back the 'profit' for that job and then the contractor was paid, at no 'profit' to fix the thing they broke in the first place.

    IOW, the taxpayers got screwed.

    If 15 of the 19 where so upset about the influence the US has with Saudi Arabi, why didn't they attack the Saudi Royal Family and try to remove the people that are allowing the US to have that influence?

    That would not work as they do not have it in really small print like all the drug and auto ads do.

    That would not work. The average paypal donation campaign raises less tahn 25,000 and such a lawsuit would cost over 100,000 just to start.

    Plus, I am in Texas at that would make discovery very difficult and expensive.

    Why doesn't someone sue Disney, Universal, or the other Major DVD producers? After all their TV ads almost all say OWN on DVD today.

    Newt is why the debt went down (well, it didn't but we will ignore that for now). Clinton, just a year or so before, had submited a budget plan that had deficits for the next 5 years.
