Would you like be sitting on the chair for being a PK? Or even fragging an opponent? It's intentional murder, after all (well, that's what some lawyers say at least).
Now, do you still want physical laws applying in MMORPG or other games?
With a few extra chips (decoders), it would be awfully easy to control 2^8=256 devices.
Wouldn't it be 128? You do need a line to control the chosen device, ie on/off.

You can manually add games to Point2Play. Read the Release notes, where they say how to convert an existing WineX installation to P2P. Of course, if you only copy it from a Windows installation, the registry entries might not be setup correctly and the game might be upset, the same way that copying it from a Windows box to another (without installing on the second one) would make it upset. Not much you can do about that part...
That's why the use of text shells (like Norton Commander was, or current clones such as Midnight Commander) was a very good idea. You could easily show all files (hidden, system), change attributes (even on dirs, so you'd have real hidden dirs, which chattr couldn't handle), delete any file(s) without typing its name (hence the 255 trick wouldn't work), etc. My experience with it makes me regret it's use when I have to use Explorer: much easier to copy/move files around, edit a file, and still have a commandline available.
He (M. Yu) and 3 or 4 other execs plus wives/husbands were charged with insider trading for the sale/gift of a few millions worth of stock mere days before "desastrous" quarterly numbers which sent the stock down in 2001, hence getting more money/larger deductions.

Because it's easier to change a driver for Linux than for Windows, especially when the manufacturer doesn't help, or just get it if that's the case. Actually, NetBSD might have been another try (doesn't it run on the Dreamcast already?), but I think more people are more familiar with Linux than NetBSD (and that doesn't mean BSD is dying).
Yet another du... oups, my fault. Different company:)
Why doesn't Microsoft just start a new country out of Seattle? That way they could collect all taxes (not just for the OS), and they could provide everything to their constituents...
Heck, if Mike's diary entry is still the state of affairs, there are more people with commit access to the Hercules CVS repository than there are XFree86, a project that's probably two orders of magnitude bigger!
Some other projects only have one person in charge of commits, but of course anybody can submit changes. Wine is one of those: only one person has write access to the CVS repository (Alexandre Julliard), but anybody can submit changes to the wine-patches mailing list.
What you'll do is drive down the price of a single e-mail address, so kids will try to get more addresses. Also, since they (as per the original poster) ask for street addresses, it's easier for them to determine if it's a real person or not (hint: 500 people don't live in my basement).

I understand that sentence as "he had is 18th birthday in March 1971", which fits quite nicely with the fact that his 50th birthday is today:)
If it's really that easy to do, somebody ought to design a motherboard for it and sell it cheaper. Or, it could be that people actually needing those boards are ready to put some more cash on the table than you...
That first part might sound crazy, but would it be possible to do? Doing the layout should go quite smoothly, if you can sufficiently simulate the signals (for noise, cross-talk, etc.). Then, it's gerber files, and to the manufacturing. Getting the specialty parts (south bridge, BIOS, etc.) might be trickier, but it should be possible to do (although probably not for an individual). Somebody wants to start his own company?
For my research in mechanical engineering (more specifically regarding tolerances), I use Matlab since it's what I'm most comfortable with. Maple is also used at my Uni, but I don't have much experience with it (other than it's symbolic kernel since it's available with Matlab) so I don't end up using it.
It mostly depends on what you're doing. Depending on your area of research, you may find that one of those is more popular because it solves these types of problem better. If speed is an issue for you, you can easily port your algorithm to a compiled language if you prototyped on an interpreter, even interfacing the two in some cases.
Before 1.0, let it reach 0.9 (0.8 was released circa 1994 or 1995). You can check the unofficial Wine 0.9 TODO for a list of features needed for the 0.9 milestone.
About the long development life... don't forget it started with Windows 3.1 as it's first target. Then, Win95, Win NT 4.0, Win98, WinME, Win 2K, Win XP came out. We're talking 2 different architectures (for some kind of operations at least), and some new features to implement at each version.
Also, the list of authors currently lists 557 different people (contributions vary from a one-liner to a complete architecture overhaul). The number of currently active developpers is of course way smaller, more along the lines of 30-50. Of those, the vast majority do it in their spare time. So a long development period is not an indication of a failure, since if it was nobody would work on it anymore.
The test cases (called conformance tests) try to verify that what Wine implements reacts the same way in Windows. Depending on the purpose of a test, it can be trivial or not, implemented in Wine or not yet. A whole lot of dlls don't have any test written for them yet, so yes, we need more test cases.
Sure. The project page on Sourceforge is the place to go. The 1.2.1 release is not official yet, but the pre-release version which is online is complete, and awaiting the official rubber-stamp from the project leader.
You're right. My last experience with it were upgrades, so no need for the CD. Those upgrades were also usable with a Win32 Quake3 CD (with some manual copying of files).
Actually, the official RtCW Linux install doesn't extract any files from the CD. Tuxgames created a CD with a preconfigured Wine to install the needed files from the CD.
It's been a while since I installed Quake3, but IIRC you needed to manually copy the game data files to your installation dir.
UT2k3 was the more direct install. Put the 3rd CD in, run setup.run, enjoy (with the correct hardware).
At Expos games, does the guy come down the aisle shout "chien chauds!! chien chauds!!!"?
No, and the reason is simple: not enough people to warrant for such a service. You want something, you go to the stand. Maybe in the front rows there's still doing this, but last time I went it was a guy taking orders through some kind of wireless PDA to the stands, and what you ordered was then brought to you directly...
Oh, you were talking about the language used? It's easier to only say "Chips, peanuts, cracker jacks, hot dogs, pretzel", as they are the same in French and in English, than to say it in one language and repeat it after in the other one.
You can also check how it's done in various provinces. Coming from Québec, I can tell you that only individuals are allowed to contribute to political parties here: corporations, lobbies, etc. are not (but members of those obviously can). So Microsoft (or Disney) couldn't give money to any party, but Bill, Steve and whoever is the CEO of Disney can. I think the yearly limit (for provincial contributions) is CAN$3000 by party.
For those saying "But then how do you advertise?", the answer comes in three parts. First, if you score a minimum at the polls (I don't remember exactly, maybe 20%), part of your expenses are refunded by the government. Second, the TV stations are mandated to give free air-time (during political campaigns) to each official parties (no single candidates have TV spots because TV is not local enough, and no office is directly elected as the president of the governors). Third, I'm pretty sure there's a cap (by candidate, or by party) for the expenses during the whole political campaign.
BTW, here in Canada federal parties usually have a weaker link to provincial parties than in the States. For exemple, the Liberal Party of Canada has no link (other than the name and some concepts) to the Liberal Party of Québec, to the point that the current leader of that party comes from the Progressive-Conservative Party of Canada, which was (it's really weak ATM) the other national party. So you need to redo all your "shopping" in the provinces as well.

Finally got to it for RH8.
And then I notice that there's an RPM/SRPM for RH8 on mozilla.org... Here it is.
1.4rc2 doesn't have the Debug and QA menus, and 1.4final won't have them either. 1.4a, 1.4b and 1.4rc1 had them.
It was in 1.4rc1 also, so it's technically not that "new" for this release. Check the release notes of 1.4rc1 here.

All computers already have 'standard' controllers: they're called keyboard and mouse. Works like a charm in most game genres I prefer (FPS and RTS).
Ozone is already used in quite a few water treatment facilities. It's germicide properties are long known.
There's even a company (TSO3) which uses it to sterilize chirurgical instruments, instead of high temps.
Using ozone to kill bugs is simply another use for it, although I wonder if they try to get it back or if they release it in the atmosphere.
