You shouldn't be able to save every 2 seconds. This takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
I see, removing features *increases* fun.. who knew?
Saving is optional, if you want to go through the entire game without saving, go ahead. But to prevent people from saving because you think it makes it "more fun" is stupid.
Every governor of California in the past 30 years has faced a recall petition drive, but only now has one been successful.
That's because the governor has always been impeached before the recall went through (for example, Evan Meecham in Arizona was impeached just before he was recall)
However, if the user deletes the files and/or deauthorizes his computer, reauthorizing it with a non-US credit card will not work.
Why? It doesn't cost anything to authorize a machine, you just need your AppleID. Why would Apple require a credit card?
From what I gathered, he moved to Canada, updated his credit card info on Apple's site, and now his AppleID is no longer able to authorize songs he already purchased. This doesn't make sense. It's the same AppleID. Why does updating his account information cause his AppleID to stop working?
give the tag to a "keeper" for few classes and then skip school. Once you come back, pick up the tag from the keeper and go home without attending school, all while the parents think their loved one is learning.
I have patented and trademarked the "Designated Decoy" System.
Anyone who thinks that children's privacy shouldn't be subject to parental discretion is not a parent.
Nice argument, "anyone who disagrees with me isn't qualified to disagree with me".
I am a parent, and I think that any parent that needs to spy on their children, is obviously a poor parent. I don't need to spy on my kids, because we use communication and trust instead.
Think about it, what is the most commonly used P2P network out there? Email! Making it a felony to upload a file to a P2P network would outlaw the sending of email.
On the other hand, it would also outlaw spam... so perhaps it's not as bad as we think.
But I bet MS jumps all over this and gets stego banned.
What would be the point in that? If they know you're using stego, then it kind of defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it? Banning it would be meaningless, since the entire concept of stego is to hide the very fact that you're using it from the authorities.
The guy doing the study doesn't actually have any married friends, and thus concluded that because all the "geniuses" he knows are single, marriage must make you stupid.
Slashdot Mirror
What's funny is they almost always give you a login/password in the slashdot blurb.
You always see 'free registration required, yadda yadda'. that's code for login: yadda password: yadda

You ARE locked into a platform: x86 based computers.
That's like being locked inside California.. not quite the same thing as being locked inside a closet.
Science fiction is about the STORY, not about the effects.
I think that's the point.. if they had just kind of said "the more angry he gets, the bigger he gets" and left it at that, it'd be fine.
But instead they forgot about the story and spent all that time explaining the "science".
What gets me every time is when there is, say, an explosion (ala Star Wars) in space, and it goes "Boom!".
Next you'll be telling us that there aren't sweeping crescendos during real-life fights.
I'm confident that Bush would be recalled if it only required 12% of those who voted in the 2000 election to sign a petition.

I stopped taking it seriously when I saw the image of the fake testicles attached to the Game Cube.
Considering that that picture came after the penis length chart, I'm to assume you took the penis length chart seriously?
So, they'll be paying the equivalent of the salary of a single developer for a year. And this is impressive, why?
These days that $75k can pay for 10 programmers from india who don't have your shitty attitude.
They do things that make a lot of sense.
Yeah, because having to totally tear apart an iBook just to swap out the harddrive makes a lot of sense.

I really expected to see this at the top of the list, "The following people have been found to be unclean.."
She must have been unattended for at least 10-15 minutes. Where the hell were the parents?
Obviously they were busy making posts on slashdot about how hard it is to keep track of their kids.

A purchase is necessary to win.. you need a copy of MS Windows. Wouldn't this constitute an illegal lottery.

there's another possibility:
The guy doing the study doesn't actually have any married friends, and thus concluded that because all the "geniuses" he knows are single, marriage must make you stupid.
How is this law any different than laws regarding R-rated movies?
You mean other than the fact that there aren't *any* laws regarding R-rated movies?
The MPAA's rating system is entirely voluntary.
The ping on a station wagon sucks and don't even get me started on the routes...
Yes, but you can fix that ping problem by using an anti-knock fuel additive.
the concept of propelling by ionic wind has been around for a while.
Does that somehow make it less cool? Does every american have one in his garage?
It's proven to work! Look at all the people who went to the electric chair! Skinny as a skeleton!
They reproduce prolificly, have few predators and eat pretty much anything they can get into their mouths.
My god, you know my cousins too?
Following your criteria, you could say DOS was a 32 bit OS.
This is really no different than using hacks like emm386
