*hears exclamations of 'don't bite the trolls', but ignores them* Of course you aren't interested in having some 'wannabe' adding to your codebase, who would be? But, rather than have them just add to the code itself, they could submit code/patches that help you get done in days what may have taken weeks, you still retain control of the codebase, if they submit stuff you don't like, just ignore them for a while and see if they go away. If they submit large amounts of code that fix or enhance things your projects need, then you know you've got someone worth hiring. How can you know who to hire if you don't allow all the people you might hire to start submitting code? You don't. If you open the code, and the project is interesting enough, you will most likely get people trying to help, look at any interesting open-source project from over the past few years (and/or decade) How much of the functionality that those submissions from people who had other jobs they wouldn't have wanted to leave would be in there today if it had been developed in a more restricted environment? Or what about people like Marcello Tosatti who started working on such things when they weren't old enough to have a job in the states? (He did have one, but it wasn't in the States..), And the really nice thing about open sourceing whatever your project is? If you don't like the way those random guys are doing things to your project, rewrite the stuff so it works better, you don't have to accept ANY of the patches sent in by outside people... none at all...
You've obviously never played any of Legends Entertainments older games that weren't mentioned in the summary... the Spellcasting games(101 201 301) Gateway 1,2 the list goes on...

MS Word can also insert shortcuts with ctrl+k, or through the menus in it, one thing to possibly do is, unless you actually use that for something, jut disable the windows messenger service on your computers, then, no matter how many he tries to send, no one will be able to recieve them...

Heh... may want to update your homepage URL there Tim ;)
Which is a clone of the game Rush Hour ;)
Even when swishing around his mouthwash?
WineX
While just as ludicrous, It seems that it's actually a patent for swinging side-to-side rather than back and forth...

Maybe it's for their children/husband?
just as they finally had the ability to create decent special effects the writing fell apart.
This may not have been a coincidence!

He was joking... look up the street fighter I/II etc characters...
Sometimes it's referred to as your PIN rather than your 'PIN number'...
Yeah... I saw it live too... but from NASA TV ;)

For some reason there's no reply link in your journal, but I was going to suggest you try the Worms games.. (Worms Armageddon and such...)

Because he has a lower user ID than me, he was most likely here before I was...
This is slashdot, not RTFA is implied by being here, those that do read it are the exception...

I'd ask if you were knew here, but you have a lower user id than me
