Games are games. I do think graphic novels are an acceptable term though. Comic books imply a storyline in serial form. I pick up a comic book from the middle of a series and I might not have a clue what's going on and I only have a "chapter" of the story. I pick up a graphic novel like Watchmen and I have the whole story. Sure, maybe they could have called in non-serialized(?) comic book, but they didn't.
One tool can't do everything. Too many tools lead to organization problems, etc. Generally, a small toolbox with good selection of tools is your best bet.
Don't worry to much about it though since office politics will just screw it up anyway.
Since my parents were unable to help me financially with my education, I had to work year-round and take out loans to go to school. Something anyone could have done. I paid (and am still paying) for my education by myself.
If you had actually bothered to read my post, you would notice that I was not saying anything at all about cost or "those poor blacks". I was saying that CS majors in my school were mostly white male. Most blacks that I knew in school were Business majors.
There were no blacks regardless of sex in any of my CS classes in a state university. There were only 3 women in my CS classes. I'd say 98% of the CS students were white. In almost all of my other classes, the race/sex mixture reflected the student population. Math classes were the closest race/sex ratio to CS. I knew more guys taking Nursing than blacks or women taking CS.
No racism, just the facts from my school experience.
NEW != work correctly. Just because you bought something new doesn't mean it can't be the cause of your problem. Did you actually swap strips? Healthy != glitchy If you had healthy power, you wouldn't be losing it. It sounds like this only happens when you lose power. Correct? Is it a blackout, glitch, or brownout?
You have 5 computers that display these symptoms. What do they have in common? Same circuit? Same powerstrip? Same outlet on strip? Same model of server? Same PSU? Do you put the problem computer back in the same outlet? Does a trouble computer display the same symptoms when plugged into a different strip or a different circuit in a new area?
If you can recreate the problem on a different "healthy" circuit then it's probably the server otherwise it's usually the strip or circuit. Of course, it can be additive: Poor circuits + poor PSU = glitches where a better PSU or circuit will cover the weakness of the other.
Your own argument works against you. Com TLD is about 75% of the domain names from your source. Sorting by the first character of the domain name would give you a much smaller subset. Also think of all the duplicated domain names that would disappear. I'm not saying it would be an easy conversion, but sometimes you just have to tear everything apart and start over to get the best solution.
Oooh, looks like there's going to be trouble since your Digi-Chill 5000 is very similar to my Digi-Cool 6000. Of course, mine must be better due to the higher number.
The first season of Lost (24 episodes plus extras) lists for $60. That's $2.50 an episode. You can find it a lot of places for around $40. That drops down to $1.67. I guess people are willing to pay this for a show they liked, so are they willing to pay $2 to get the show right now? One issue I see is it's on network tv. It's free so why would I pay for it. When it comes out on dvd, people switch in their minds, that they're paying for a dvd, not to watch tv. CSI and Lost are their big shows. So how much are people willing to pay for a middle of the pack show? I know I really like tv downloads and the OnDemand stuff. There's nothing like being hooked on a show and being able to watch several episodes in a row. No more waiting a week to get your 20-40 mintes(w/o commercials) fix.
I'm a fan of rom carts too *starts blowing on tecmo bowl to get it to work* Never had a problem with the Atari 2600 or NES.
Honestly, cartridges don't prevent piracy. Check out the rom dumps and flash carts available for the GBA and DS. There's already over 250 games dumped for the DS. These are setup to work with a rom cart system. With music, you could do the same thing or just dump the music to your computer and burn on cd.
Piracy will be around as long as people can get stuff cheaper or someone can make money off of it.
It always seems like automatically filling in username and password would lead to some exploit, but I can't think of a case where this has happened. Since I don't read security reports with my breakfast, can anyone who does think of a instance?
I know you guys are joking, but...... a truly paranoid, and smart person would do nothing different than the average citizen for fear of raising red flags. If a person was paranoid and felt the need to communicate possibly raising red flags, they would not use a pre-built computer. I'm not talking about just OEM stuff, but the DIY slap it together stuff also. If you are unsure of what every single chip, line of code in an OS/program, or piece of firmware actually does(not just what they tell you), how could you trust it?
I think the main reason to use encryption is to prevent non-government eyes from prying anyways. Like the bored person at your ISP looking through your mail. If a group (like the government) has the resources to torture, frame, etc. encryption doesn't mean a whole lot to them.
Wine tasting, as I'm sure most WINE SNOBS will agree, is as much of an art as anything; I doubt that WINE SNOBS will allow a computer to tell them if a wine is "good" or not, even if it's right most of the time.
If I think the wine is good, I'll drink it. I don't care if someone or something agrees with me or not.
Same here. I use TaxAct for federal and state. I forgot why I stopped using Taxcut, but it was decent. When TurboTax added C-Dilla a couple years ago, that put them on the effem list. I want tax software, nothing extra whether it's harmful or not.

That's a pretty valid point. So is the government(this particular law) helping the parents by restricting what a minor can do without parental permission or is it government sticking their nose where it doesn't need to be. The law doesn't restrict a parent's freedom by preventing a parent from buying a violent video game for their kids whether the parents don't care or feel their kids are mature enough for it. I'm torn on this issue.
This is exactly what they want. A parent who is now $24000 in debt due to having children download music and going to court with the RIAA. If I'm being sued, I settle out of court for fearing of losing more money. Even if she wins the case, she's lost more money than the settlement. If I'm a parent, I don't let my kids anywhere near P2P.

Offhand, CS:Source Office and Assault Maps and FEAR Factory maps have pallets. I'm just too lazy to think back any farther than that.
So what do you call a bound reprint of multiple issues?

If it doesn't fit into a 4 step profit plan or Soviet Russia joke, I'm not really concerned with the technical aspects of anything on Slashdot.
In that case, in Soviet Russia Gb is greater than GB.
