I went to the last HP Spectacular release date event, the store made it clear that they had enough copies for every person currently in the store with about 1200 extra and STILL there were people standing by the register offering stupid $$ to people who had pre-reserved for their copy. Those same people would have been willing to pay 5-6x cover for 4-5 days advance since they were offering 2-3x for a couple hours advance.
Me giving them money whether I need their software or not is validating their business model. And keeping their software without paying violates my ethical model.
I bought Diablo 2 and LOD because I borrowed a copy from a friend and the gameplay blew me away
I bought Warcraft 3 and Frozen throne because I borrowed a copy from a friend and the gameplay blew me away
I bought HL1 Platinum because I borrowed a copy from a friend and the gameplay blew me away
I bought rtCW because I borrowed a copy from a friend and the gameplay blew me away
I bought Windows 2K because I borrowed a copy from a friend(online during beta) and the usability blew me away. I actually waited in LINE for the store to open for Win2K
I will not buy HL2 because of their onerous installation and use policy, so I WILL NOT borrow a copy from a friend.
Except that because I am human I have an inate God-given/instinctual affinity to that human because we share ancestors. Therefore whether it's conscious or un-conscious affinity a Healthy(mentally) human has affinity for other Healthy humans and only supports capital punishment when the person is trying to infringe on my health(physical)direct attack on me or those for whose safety I am responsible(this includes IMO those who I don't know[personally] who were attacked[fatally] without cause).
Killing in war is a situation of mutual self defense as accepted by custom older than any nation in existance.
In CS, you should have learned programming, not a language. You should have been exposed to at least 6 different languages as well as compiler concepts and OS design. If you were not, then you have a Programming degree, not a CS degree, regardless what your diploma says.
I could easily pirate HL2, I haven't because I KNOW I'm not going to buy it EVER. I will at some point be purchasing Doom3 because it is an enjoyable and playable game, but I will not be purchasing HL2 even for 2.99 from the discount bin, because I refuse to go ONLINE to play a single player game.
One way to enforce the break every 30 minutes or so is to drink more(water). I drink ~2.5 gallons spread out over the day and find myself needing to take a walk every 15-45 minutes. Also this will help your body in other ways regarding health and hydration provided you are eating reasonably well.
And at a certain degree of proficiency, you can even look away from the screen, and correct ~20% of errors. Muscle learning allong with touch typing means that I'll be correcting a mistake caused by my fingers occasionally stumbling. Other mistakes like taht will be increased due to syncronisation problems with muscle knowledge and the left hand not knowing exactly waht or whne the right hand is doing it's thing.
And the infrastructure is there because in early space experimentation the unmanned craft would frequently not go very far toward orbit, and crashing into the ocean is preferable to crashing into Dallas. Ok, maybe not to everyone.
In an unconventional conflict a legitamate target covers a multitude of sins. For example had the attacks of 9/11 targetted ONLY the pentagon, white house and capitol buildings, anger and disgust would have resulted, but NOT outrage IMO.
Selecting and targetting military targets(whether "collateral" damage is taken into account or not) is what has become known as "civilized" warfare. Women, children and non-combatants die, but when they are NOT the primary target the attackers are taken MORE seriously.
Most likely from someone who types quickly enough that sometimes letters get ahead of each other. Usually its left ahnd ahead of right but sometimes it's the ohter way around.
Typically, for Paraphernalia, they must prove intent and use since a water pipe CAN be used for tobacco, and some people do. OTOH, "possession" is just possession, possession with intent is typically a felony. SO we have at least 3 "crimes" we are talking about.
simple possession -- A Class 3 misdemeanor slightly higher than jaywalking Paraphernalia-- A class 1 Misdemeanor just less than a felony, but they must prove that you weren't just enjoying some smooth mellow tobacco with that water pipe... or cheap tobacco with those rolling papers and Possession with intent-- A Felony(typically) and again, there is more to prove than that you had access to or possession of.
The problem with Sea water is "Drinking **ONLY** Sea Water. anyone who spends a day at the beach(Ocean) likely ingests a quantity of sea water greater than zero. The problem with Sea water is having no source of fresh water to correct the Osmosis effects.

Point I was making is that I won't pirate a game I KNOW I won't buy.
War /= Murder
It doesn't matter how long you claim it is and how loud you shout it. Reality exists otherwise.
Any time I've tried soy "milk" it's been the consistency of sandy water.

And what practical benefit is gained past 40wpm? Seriously, I do about 40wpm when I'm drilling, and I've never felt a need to go any faster.

I would be shocked to find out that more than 20% of slashdoters do not already use a buckling spring keyboard of some sort.

Yes.

And why were US Forces in Saudi Arabia??
OH YEAH!!!
Iraqi agression toward Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Actually, the 9/11 attack(s) happened during an extended tenuous ceasefire within the Iraq War.

Do you mean shakespeare or beowulf?
Yes to both.
Mispelling comprehension is forgivable, mispelling forest is not.
