This is why I always opt for the self-install option with any ISP. I don't even like my wife messing with my computer, nevermind some complete stranger.
(Side note: Yes, she does have her own computer. So there.:P)
From what I've read of these scientific papers, I've been able to divine the actual list:
Step 1) Prove that it is possible that a fundamental group of 3-dimensional manifolds (V) could be trivial, even though V is not homeomorphic to the 3-dimensional sphere.
I have to say that I don't know where I fit in. Born in 1978, I remember hearing about "Generation X" when I was in high school, so I assume I'm between generations - whatever that means.
My wife and I have more than $60,000 in school debt (no CC debt), and didn't enter the job market until after the crash. We don't spend irresponsibly. I don't look fondly back on any point of my life, so I guess I'm on the way up.
She, then an EE major, now has a permanent position at a bank headquarters for $11.50 per hour (nice health plan, though). I'm an ex-CS major working as Web consultant for $18/hour, working under my mother-in-law, though that's due to be up in about two months.
New job prospects look grim, and I have absolutely no personal networks. I forget, what happens when you can't pay off your non-bankruptable student loans? Not that I'm planning to, but I'm just curious.
There, I defy anyone to pidgeonhole me. Actually, I've always wanted to be pidgeon-holed for some reason. Any takers?
That was a pretty good response to the question I asked, but I wish had emphasized the security aspect.
Mainly, I think there is an interesting legal difference between "leechers" on IRC/Usenet/etc. and "leechers" on P2P, in that the P2P users technically become distributors themselves. Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter?
That's what I meant by "crazy" too. I'm just saying that most innovative games that come over here are very common over there. Dating sims run like water over there, for instance. Ditto for sexual games.
True, there is the odd unique gem, but they aren't produced in Japan any more often than they are in America, Europe, or elsewhere.
...produce better games were they to attract some top-notch game designers? Like some of those crazy designers from japan
I'd really like to know where all this reverse racism comes from. I mean really, Japanese game designers are no more skilled than designers anywhere else in the world. Generally speaking, of course.
All those "crazy" dating and rhythm games are just run-of-the-mill over there. Plus, you don't see the *really* crappy Japanese games because (gasp) they're not exported!
So really, knock off the racial superiority gibberish. I don't mean to sound preachy, but you started it.
Regardless of what features or addons they add to any given console, there is one advantage that the PC has: It's open.
The PC is the ideal platform for a small time developer to realize his vision. No publishers, no advertising deals, no selling your idea to clueless suits - nothing but your dev team, some cheap PC equipment, and time.
Slashdot Mirror
...to Slashdot the Vatican? I guess we just might find out!
And he'll suceed, by most accounts. ;-)
Oh, that's right -- I'm not at home watching TV on Saturday nights! :)
Right, you're home reading Slashdot!
I find it funny that that was the first person in the thread to ask why Slashdot was moving servers.
:^)
I guess the rest of the readers figured why not? Typical geeks.

Well, from what I've read, government officials are more easily bribe-able than the ones over here (if such a thing can be believed).
You mean even the missions where you have to kill someone, can be completed without violence?
Step 1) Prove that it is possible that a fundamental group of 3-dimensional manifolds (V) could be trivial, even though V is not homeomorphic to the 3-dimensional sphere.
Step 2) ??????
Step 3) ????????
And we all love it for the same reason we love mutant superhuman zombies. :o)

But how did you get the monkeys to wear the pants?
"I don't believe in planets, you insensitive clod!"
To be fair, installing Adobe Acrobat on Windows gives you the print-to-PDF driver too. I have to use it all the time on my Win2k box at work.
They shutdown the program or move each file as the download completes...
Not with some P2P clients, that actually upload parts of the file while you're still downloading other parts.

Yeah it's a repeat, but at least Michael didn't call them "e-games".
And next you'll tell me that the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" was just a way to discriminate against third party game cartridges.
From what I gather, it was renamed from "Danger's Hiptop" to "T-Mobile Sidekick."
I propose the best of both worlds, and say they should name it "Danger's Sidekick" . That should boost their sales by 15% on name alone.
If Windows 3.1 was being enjoyed by any substantial number of people, Microsoft would still support it
Windows 3.1 was never enjoyed by any substantial number of people.
It was on all the P2P networks, mis-named to "LOTR:The Two Towers.Yes.This.Is.Real.And.Not.A.Trailer.DivX.avi "

Exactly. You should have also mentioned that this case used to be "Eldred vs. Reno."
I suspect that the RIAA is distributing copies of my posts. I guess I'd better "disable, interfere with, block, or otherwise impair" riaa.org.
See my sig.
What if they view Slashdot with sigs turned off?

Whether you're coding your own engine or making a creative mod of someone else's, there is no better place to do that than the PC.
