The simplest version (free for single users and some open-source developers) is so simple it doesn't even support branching and merging. The full version does, and it isn't terribly expensive. It's pretty easy to install, too.
Actually, sometimes SC can be more intrusive if it's part of the IDE. I'd rather have it be a separate app. That way I can work as if in a sandbox, and only use the SC when I find it appropriate. Right now I'm using CS-RCS without telling the IDE about it. It does automatically detect when a file has been changed, but allows me to decide if and when I want to do something about it.
And in my experience its common for them to give you - and charge you for - a large even when you ask for a medium. I'm usually in a hurry so its not worth the time for me to argue about a few cents, but I always wonder if it was deliberate or not.
As far as I know, all computers (or at least all computers running Windows) do support CompactFlash in software (which makes it look like any IDE drive), they just don't have a physical slot for it. For about $10 to $30 you can buy a passive adapter that converts a CompactFlash card into a PCMCIA card, or one that converts it into an IDE device either as a nice front panel that fits in a drive bay or as a bare board that you can mount as you wish.
The only catch is you can't hot swap them. I'm not sure if it would physically damage the card but it could hose your data.
I think the idea is not that there wouldn't be any rulers (whether corporate or governmental) and ordinary people obeying the rules, but that echnologically literate people would be most able to evade or resist the "system" via such things as cryptography, sabotage, self-sufficiency (generating or stealing electricty/communications), working as a contractor rather than an employee of the corporations, etc.
Actually Schindler's List would be improved by including certain 'products' that Spielberg chose to leave out. I suppose most historical movies leave a lot out, but I don't like history being 'changed' to reflect a producer's ideas aboout modern politics either.
"Why can't there be more games like SimCityClassic where there's not gross violence "
Er... in SimCity you play a government that gets to bulldoze down buildings full of people and blow up roads full of cars. Property values going down cause theres too many poor people in the area? Just kill 'em off! That's a higher bodycount per second than any FPS. Its also go monsters, fires, hurricanes etc.
(seriously I do like that game, just because it was something different, something that doesn't have to occupy you entire attention every second)

How about 02134? I don't know if that one ever made it out of the US, but it is certainly taking up some of my long-term memory that could better be used for something else.
"if world society is mostly openly controlled by corporations instead of governments, dissidents (that's what they'll be called) will point to this sort of thing as one of the steps that led to the situation."
No, people who oppose governments the US doesn't like are called "dissidents". People who oppose corporations (or the US government) are called "terrorists".
I'd just like to point out that the representation on the NH quarter sucks. The Old Man of the Mountain looks MUCH more impressive in real life, sillouetted against the sky at the top of a steep 1000 foot hillside.
Technically that covers everything except christianity, yet they can't prohibit, or not count it, because its also used as a general term for Wicca, Asatru etc. which are definitely real religions.
I'm doing this not so much because I was working too many hours before, but because I realized that my job skills were getting seriously outdated and I am too specialized. I have to spend some time catching up. I am not actually taking any classes at the moment, but I'm trying to live like a student again (only with less partying this time;-) ). It is proving difficult for me to stay motivated and make as much productive use of my free time as I intended to, though. At least I don't have to worry about money as a truly poor student would, since I can dig into my savings if I really have to.
I do have to be careful not to work too many hours. Luckily my boss agreed that if I work more than 20 hours one week, I can work less the next week. Of course this only works if the job is such that there aren't a lot of important deadlines.
I love having such flexibility - somehow I always manage to miss the most boring meetings;-) Being able to sleep as late as I want is such a luxury - worth more to me than money. However it leads to my becoming more and more nocturnal, which negates some of the advantages of having time off.
I still get medical insurance, a nice cube, and access to expensive equipment to screw around with in my spare time, which helps with some of the study/research I'm doing. No sick pay, vacation or 401K though.
My boss agreed to this because I have an unusual combination of hardware and software skills. He actually doesn't have all that much work for me to do right now, but he doesn't want me to quit and work for a competitor. Hehe... about a year from now I should be caught up enought to go get a better job someplace else, although not necessarily in this same niche. I may decide to do something completely different.

Why can't you send a money order? You can still buy them anonymously.

actually $45/hr sounds insanely low to me...
or did you mean contract work rather than consulting?
If you think the "$500 toilet seats" actually ARE toilet seats, you don't deserve to be defended by the military.
looks like he is right about how many fail or disregard the directions!
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of people did just that on the Boston Common last Saturday. A very patriotic event.
The cops were cool about it too. They talked to a few people but I didn't see anyone get busted.
Some places, such as Massachusetts, do require permits to purchase and carry pepper spray.

Nope. The Fonz was way too cool to ride a Harley. He rode a Triumph. Britbikes could run rings around the Harleys of that era.
Harleys are for old fat rich dudes.
I've never seen any firearm ads on TV (other than product placemnet of course!). Have you?

NO WAY! Fonzie rode a Triumph. I never could quite tell which model.
Of course I can imagine a Nike logo appearing in a show set in the 1980's. Real Nike logos were around in the 80's. Were you?

Why only if he's hetero?

Here is a much better image.

What would really be useful is a towel with DON'T PANIC on it in large, friendly letters. It would provide both physical and psychological comfort.
Is there anyplace you can get custom printed towels?
Oh cool! Finally a real justification for them buying me a laptop with wireless internet access!
