If you weren't so upmodded already, I'd yell "Mod parent up!"
Playing Cowboys & Indians (or more p.c, Cops & Robbers) is a dear childhood memory for many previous generations. Guess what they did? They ran around and shot non-existant bullets at each other.
When people these days run around shooting virtual bullets at each other, they scream bloody murder. So kids found a new playground, instead of the fields outback they run around on the fields online. What's the big deal?
Games are interactive movies and should be classified and limited as such; If parents want to set limits outside that (which they should have done in the first place), then by all means, go ahead and buy/forbid games. Just let people have a choice, within reasonable limits. That's all.
To the best of my recollection, feel free to correct me (you anal retentive #&%s!)
Wally: "Remember to turn your laptop on during the flight!"
PHB: "I thought I was supposed to turn it off."
Wally: "That's rediculous, then how would they transfer control to you if the plane was about to crash?"
In flight:
Crew: "For god's sake, turn it off!!"
PHB: "Don't worry, I'll land this baby. I can do that from Excel, right?"
The main curriculum has to be covered in both forms. This low level of education (roughly equivalent to elementary to high school) generally doesn't use anything but the main book itself and a couple of aides (which later have come to include computers).
External sources can be written in greek/french/cobol/whatever, and these external sources include library books.
I dunno, it could be kind of a turnoff to hear Clippy say "It looks like you're trying to spank your monkey. Would you like help with spanking your monkey?"
it will still make sure that the 'Nynorsk' language gets preserved in those cases where they DO select to use Microsoft software
Indeed. They're required by law to do so, by 9-4 of the law on education:
9-4. Books and other teaching aides
In subjects other than Norwegian, one can only use books and other teaching aides that are available in bokmål ["norwegian"] and nynorsk ["new norwegian"] at the same time and same price.
Personally, I would legalise all kinds of drugs, however the advertising should remain limited.
Yeah, yeah. I know you can quit anytime you want, but most people don't have that ability. Short circuiting the access to drugs will certainly not reduce the usage, it will only invite more people.
I'm all for freedom of speech and lebensraum to use what I legally buy, but "35,000 finished CD-Rs, 10,000 DVDs" can hardly be concidered fair use. No matter how fast the drives used to make them were.
I don't appreciate the creative math of course, but 35k pirate cds is not something to stand up for (assuming no twiddling was done in that figure)
(Unfortunately it is free-beer, as the source is not available. Hmmmm, I guess rms should target God as the largest producer of closed-source software in the Universe?)
And the penalty for reverse engineering it is death (for one person atleast)
That did fix a "friend"'s problem with DOS fdisk crashing.
"Install linux instead", I said. "Atleast try it, since you're reinstalling anyways!". Fool wouldn't listen, not even after my floppy-linux came along and fixed DOS fdisk.

thus the quotes.

It seemed a little sluggish, so here's a mirror. Be gentle with it.

will do!
That, and we're afraid they'll kick our asses in DM.
Harper keeps a close eye on the numbers because he gets a cut from each sale his e-mail blitz initiates.
So much for the "They'll send it anyways" or "They make the same whether you read it or not" arguments.
And just to get a +1 Troll for bashing spam: wget -q -O - $URL | sed -e 's/internet marketing firm/spamming bastards/g'
It has been my dream for years. Currently I'm on dialup.

How? Do you look at their faces?

Yeah ok......starting tomorrow.
You do know that a company's website isn't representative of their server farms, right?
(Horrible wiping of root partition after 2.5 crash omitted for the sake of zealousness)
Sure you can claim gpl isn't lgpl, but I bet the microsoft minions would find a way.
I do hope you mean "limited to", or the Atlantic just got a little wider.

My home theater is an old 15" TV with built in mono sound. Not that the sound matters, my VCR hasn't played audio in months.
Why would I prefer it over digital movies on my 17" computer screen?
