I'm in, too. I loved Myst. But I never could love Riven. IIRC it was 5 CDs. The first time I tried to play it I kept clicking something wrong and then riding the stupid rail from one CD to another and then back over and over. I felt more like a DJ than a gamer and finally gave up.
possibly because neither Google nor walk-throughs existed back then.
Google I'll give you - but walkthroughs existed long before Myst. I remember trying to solve the Infocom "Hitchhikers Guide" game with a friend at work during a slow month (loved getting paid for that) and we got stuck. We tried kicking the door, picking the lock, opening the door using everything we could on the door, all to no avail. We went down to the "Computerland" store and asked them if they knew what to do. They pulled out a 5.25" floppy disk, put it in one of their IBM PCs and printed a complete walkthrough on an Epson MX-80 for us.
Who would have thought we should KNOCK on the door.
I'm confused. I've never heard of the programming language 'clone' - so I can't really determine if it's like English or not. Or was the 'clone' you're referring some meme with which I'm not yet familiar?
... or malls that have closed completely. But very few mall management firms would sign off on turning one of their anchor stores into a datacenter.
Wouldn't the number of firms that would turn up their nose at someone continuing to pay them rent (especially those malls that can't sustain a Sears, which are probably half empty) be far lower than those who would be grateful for the income?
According to this troll's LinkedIn profile, he's a "Creator/Producer" at Nerdlocker.com. A site that reviews (and has images) of video games, movies, and comics. So - what gives Patrick?
We actually have a data collection script we use called 'vger'. It scans every directory on the *nix boxes we sell and grabs every config file, every setting, every customization made to the system and archives it in a big database, so that if we ever need to build a loaner we can just clone their most recent config. It seemed like an appropriate name.
Yep. I open up my lunch and it just doesn't taste as good without a green and white screen in front of me. I want to quit. I can't. I've got nowhere else to go.....
so, didn't read the article,but what about people with photosensitive epilepsy? surely hundreds or thousands of flashes per second cannot be good for people with this ailment
Yep. People get confused about the FDA testing and the 510(k) thing on medical devices. It's not that the FDA has to review every change that you make to your product, it's that you have to be able to show that you have a CLCA process in place, and that you tested some version of your product against some version of the OS (whether that is Windows, Solaris, Cisco WCS, or whatever). To say that another way, the FDA doesn't test everything, but you have to be able to prove to the FDA that you tested everything.
None that I know of. But then those that I have talked to about it are all fans of the original. I can't speak for anyone who just stumbled across it while channel surfing. I sincerely doubt anyone has ever called the US Version "The greatest show on Television," which I have heard several people say about the original Top Gear.
Oh yes, by all means. What the world needs is more laws. More infrastructure to support those laws. And more time wasted by elected officials (who don't even understand the technology) attempting to figure out what the laws even mean.

Too late to fix it - but I just realized this was Bureaucracy and not Hitchhiker's guide.

That was 1989 I think.
And of course - if the "Slightly Larger Telescope" ever stops working for some reason - all you need to do is try turning it off and back on again.
cot.
No we force feed them and hold them without trail.
Well if we're force feeding them, there won't be any breadcrumbs left to leave a trail!
i dont think we can potato this much longer!
Don't you carrot all how annoying this is to most people?
No, it's not; not even clone.

Either way - my clone sleeps alone.

THIS is why the ROT13 initiative is a good idea.

The first time someone told me to cue the horde of grammar Nazi's queuing up for something, I think it was Q.
Hey - Let's be careful out there.

And think about the Epileptic Dogs!
Like the saying:
Those who can, do
Those who can't do, teach
Those who cannot do either somehow end up making the decisions for those who can.
The way I always heard it was:
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, coach.
Those who can't coach, administrate.

"found a download on their site" isnt "obtained a license".
But "Found a download on their site with a valid license displayed right next to it" is.
I read "Cuban said, 'The current state of patents and patent litigation in this country is shameful," said Cuban" read I.
