I suspected as much really, just trying to be funny;)
Good to see some people still care about size and optimizations. Templates won't necessarily lead to code bloat if used correctly. As for calling RTTI/exceptions "bloat" - well, I don't necessarily agree with you;) (sadly there are a lot more examples of incorrect than correct use though...).
Anyways, good luck with your future projects! See you over at Nectarine sometime:)
"Due to our current ongoing lawsuits (which, admittedly, we're not so sure was a good idea in the first place anymore) SCO can only offer a limited money back guarantee of 3 days from the intial purchase date at this time.
Yes, but these games are more a lot more "graphic- storytelling-with-lots-of-just-walking-around"-foc used than puzzle-focused (and the "puzzles" that are in there are mostly trivial).
I think the OP was more after games that were more or less pure puzzles - not the LucasArt kind.
[-] point and click install of software. (general feeling that that doesn't really work)
OK, so do you really mean that:
1. Find a site that hosts the software
2. Download the installation.exe
3. Run it and click your way through a mostly useless installation wizard
and for upgrades:
1. Remember/keep track of all software you've got installed.
2. Check webpages for updates.
3. Repeat the above, possibly uninstalling older versions
is so much easier than typing:
1. yum install [package] or
1. apt-get install [package]
and then getting automatic updates without lifting a finger?

The point is that it's an extremely energy efficient way of hoisting stuff into space (in theory).
Better to have a comparably near zero cost elevator than spending gadzillions launching a moonbase into space piece by piece using rockets.
Errr, that's more or less the whole point of Firefox.
Compared to Mozilla; no Composer, no email client, no IRC client, no spaceship landing dock - JUST the browser.
So yes, of course it doesn't consume as much resources as it's big brother.
Damn! Too late for that, now that I've thrown a piece of prior art out into the open.
Well, I know the guys over at Microsoft are all thumbs, but 21?
1. Patent "digitally transferring text for any purpose at all".
2. Have wet dreams about email royalties from Yahoo, Hotmail, *starts slobbering*
3. ????
4. Drive the spammers out of business
5. Profit!
Yeah, breaks with the "Slashdot-profit-haiku" rules, but who cares.

Hey, looks like they prefer writing their tools in pure assembly too :)

... is develop a quantum algorithm that can handle a decent amount of slashdoters!
D'oh! That's QBert!
Oh wait... it's a joke right?
Who wants to be the first to kick YOU in the balls for not understanding that they only made special effects for Riddick? Food on the table, you know.
Blame the director if you really feel that bad about spending $10 in the theater.

Well, it _is_ an alpa release. Add a bug report describing how it's not working, and it will more than likely be fixed for the next alpha.
Yeah, same thing in Spain according to most of the spanish people I ever met.
You seem to have left out that Python has JIT these days...
It's in the GameBase64 collection. Right here
So, you think having your arm spin at 3400 RPM while being laser etched will be any less painful than the real thing?

1. Drop your Gentoo/LFS install, and install a distro that comes with a binary packaging system and releases bleeding edge software updates (Fedora)
2. Wait 1 day instead of 2 for the new packages to be released.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
And another reason for the shortage is too many doctors moving into the useless, but very profiting field of cosmetic surgery.
Actually 2.6 is a prerequisite for releasing Core 2

Yes there is, right on the SpamAssassin download pages...
...for Darl McBride to come up with a reason why this is not legal after all, and sue the FSF for lost revenues.
