At that point, you're not enjoying the game, you're enjoying the company. And if you need that company there to enjoy the game, then the game isn't good to begin with.
Unless, of course, a major part of the game is the social aspect. Which is kind of the point of multiplayer online games...
Last year or the year before when they had the (false) lahar warning for Rainier, a friend of mine -- a 911 dispatcher -- was on a date when he got the emergency page. This woman, quite the clingy "me-first" type, got uppity with him for looking at his pager. He told her he had to go, there was an emergency. She didn't believe him. He stood up in the middle of the restaraunt and said, loudly, "Mt. Fucking-Rainier is erupting...call a cab.". That was their first (and last) date.:-)
As an aside, anyone remember Jim Foreman (news reporter) doing a live broadcast from Harborview doing his normal melodramatic report that "dozens of casualties are being flown in now...we'll be here to report on it"? Good times.
Animated images/icons can be used to great affect if done in a subtle and sparing way. Large and looped animations tend to annoy me, though.
I can definately see how alpha-transparency (note: I didn't RTFA so I'm assuming it's available in animations) in an animation would be a Good Thing(tm).
I think he just took a moment to sharpen his shovel with that Insider article (here, for those with broken scrollbars). Can't wait to see how much deeper he digs his hole with his next public episode.
LVM and RAID are not mutually exclusive. They compliment each other nicely. I'm not sure how (Linux's) LVM could be easier to set up than RAID (hardware), though. Most hardware RAID has some form of a "use these disks as a RAID[0,1,5,whatever]" interface. My only experience with Linux's LVM was my last Gentoo install. However, I have quite a bit of experience with Veritas Volume Mangler^WManager.

As annoying and frustrating as it can be, idiots of this caliber must be allowed to demonstrate why those who know better, know better.

e.g., 1 gram of antimatter would equal 23 space shuttle fuel tanks of energy
How much energy is that in Burning Libraries of Congress? I'm not entirely up to speed on these new-fangled measurements. Rods an' hogsheads, for me!

but not so much useful unless you have a 16.7 megapixel monitor to enjoy it on.
They're called magazines and newspapers. You should try them sometime.
(yes, there are other outlets for these, but I'm in the publishing biz so there's my bias)
Dear $DEITY, that can't possibly be real. Can it?
Funny they haven't gone after Firefox, yet.
Aren't WMDs made from blutonium?
Six to one, half a dozen to another...
Get a rope.
C'mon, go the extra step and link it! :-) And the homepage is here.
They'll take my computer from my cold dead... uh... lap
Dead, perhaps. But not cold.
There's always cat(1).
And then you made the necessary corrections, right?
Karma be damned, but...
If it's needless to say, then saying anything is not saying the least.

It's the exchange rate.
Mute the volume anytime Anakin or Amidala are on screen. The rest is dreadful, but it won't make you suicidal (as much).

You realize, of course, that just means they'd give you more work to make up for what they took away. Right?

They have 'em. Or an Xserve RAID.
Pray Derek Smart doesn't get Freespace 3 then.
Same performer, same music, different lyrics.
This isn't the project you are looking for.
