"Perhaps a more interesting question is why aren't they targeting hardcore gamers?"
Well, give them a few months. Once they read the above comments pointing out the numerous flaws in their current business plan, perhaps they'll rewrite it to target the hardcore gamers instead.
Personally, I think they'd be better off recruiting a bunch of underpants gnomes.
Several years ago I was in a similar situation to the original poster - lone developer, several smallish projects, manually managing files. I'm fairly certain it was an Ask Slashdot that led me to CS-RCS. As a lone developer, I didn't see much need for a complex CVS system. RCS does a great job for my needs, and was free to boot. They do offer a paid "Pro" version, which offers more features. They have a decent chart that compares the free to the pro version.
CS-RCS integrates well into Windows Explorer, and makes it easy to Check in/Check out/Compare revisions right from your editor.
Perhaps the fact that no one company can be named is a measure of the ferocity with which trademarks have been defended in the past 30 or more years.
Whether or not they must defend against an obvious parody to protect their mark is debatable. But if you were the lawfirm, would you pass up the opportunity to bill your client, regardless?
You found it! Now, bring the Microdot to the Secret Panel room (directly below the Gold castle), along with 2 other objects. When the black line on the right of the screen blinks, you can pass through it, revealing the secret message.

She must have read McBride's new book:
How To Bring Shame and Disgrace to Your Family Name
in 3 easy steps
Thanks alot. Now I'll have that damn song in my head all weekend.
Yeah, I put a surprise in there too ;)
Ahhh.... it's burning my retinas.
Don't you think they'd notice the weirdo in the parking lot pointing a Pringles can at the hospital?
Not if it's a mental hospital.
"There are no people alive without a head"
True, but many without a brain.

+1, Insighful.
(Damn...just wasted my mod points on some useless crap)
OT, but there's an interesting episode of "Masterminds" running on CourtTV which gives the details on the Bre-X story. Pretty damn clever.
"skipt" for skipped? I'd say Hooked on Phonics worked *too* well.
Great. Perhaps now they can focus on *this generation* security projects.
"most universities make it a requirement to use powerpoint"
Don't know about most, but I bet these ones do.
Microsoft's Big Role on Campus
Gates to fund Cambridge scholarships
Gates Foundation Gives Record $70 Million for Genomics Research
Creating a presentation on GPL Enforceability.... in Powerpoint.
Here's one discussed here a while ago:
Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe
A most excellent game, I must say.
"How's the internet connection though?"
Blazing fast!
I'll second the vote for CS-RCS

"I don't know anything about stocks, but "down 11.28%" in a day sounds quite bad ?"
Depends on your perspective. SCO down 11.28% sounds quite good to me.

"I know that I will never buy a car with RFID tracking capabilities built into it!"
What if they throw in the tinfoil undercoating at no extra charge?
"the Daily Show appearso to have a habit of making deceptive cuts. But who knows..."
What do you expect from A FAKE NEWS SHOW?
Not saying the story isn't partially based on fact, but the intention is to be funny (and damn funny it is)
*clicks link*
"Welcome to the future home of a domain hosted by SNET Internet!"
Sweet!
Why the hell was this modded "Interesting". RTFA.
It's software, it's been fixed, nothing to see here. Move along.
Why would they need to do anything beyond posting a patch (which they already did)
Seems they've also designed an IP Packet Impact Simulator
"What does that mean?"
It means you decoded it wrong.
It should read "DRINK MORE OVALTINE"
You found it!

"I hear that maybe it just wasn't quite as hot here in those years"
Nice. Now you've awoken the global warming trolls.
