300k spider-men, or hulks, or some such wouldn't work. In SW, Jedi is a profession not a unique name. In SWG it will be the culmination of a lot of hard work to build your character to Jedi but it would still be your own unique character and not "Luke Skywalker".
You are forgetting that Every EQ subscriber, currently 400,000+ ACTIVE subs, bought the game. Then they bought expansion 1. Then they bought expansion 2. Then they bought expansion 3.
The change was painful for Mac users, but in the end was it beneficial? Once everyone adjusted/converted files, etc is it now better then previous? It seems to me they were standardizing their code/methods and one platform was going to have to be hit.
Did they revert it back to the previous way for the MAC platform? Causing more feature fatigue in the process.

KDE 3.0.1 Ships
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I've recently installed a fresh copy of Mandrake 8.2 with KDE 3 on a Celeron 500 notebook (512mb RAM) and I'm quite happy with it.
It actually boots in the same time as my P4 XP machine and I don't notice any slowness of the UI.
This may not be the case. What is the price of the xbox that stores pay vs the markup MSRP of $200 or $300. Does Wallmart pay $150 for an xbox and sell it for $300?
If MS drops the msrp price $100 why should they absorb the $100 and not a part of that only?
I watched TPM twice in the theatre and a few times on DVD. I think anyone who has watched this movie more than twice really appreciates how much Jar-Jar adds enjoyment to the film. Anakin is far more annoying. Terrible, terrible acting and I shudder watching every scene he is in. Jar-Jar gives the film some humor which overall is fairly dry. Ok the tongue thing in Anakin's house was lame.
Apart from being a touch too long, TPM is a fairly decent film that sets the stage for 5 more films.
Must of been a hella big pile. Those cartridges cost upwards of $100 at least when they came out. I remember years later in a department store seeing the same game for $1.99.
My best example would be Moonlighting when Bruce Willis and Cybil Sheppard finally sleep together. The show lost it's sexual tension that made it fun to watch.
In this you can't fault MS. Somone buys a single license version of PowerPoint and 100 other coworkers install it on their computers. If you want the product, pay for it.
This is exactly how MS software took over our department of WordPerfect, QuattroPro and it never would of happened if the $450 price per package was actually paid.

The Apple ][ was black. The Apple ][+ was beige and future models as well.
Job satisifaction comes from winning. There are people who love to win and at any cost defending a guilty client for example and happy when they get them off the hook. Granted, there are some that wish to simply enforce the "law" as it is printed and make sure the common people are properly protected.
From articles I've read, most lawyers start out with nobles intentions but soon fall prey to the underbelly of their profession. Many have substance abuse problems from working too many hours and the stress of "winning" all the time or gaining money and/or fame.
The role of a lawyer is a good one, and probably a fun job sometimes, but they have elevated themselves too high in society.
Nobody wins but the lawyers is trusim if there ever was one.

That's the first Beowulf cluster joke that made me laugh. I'm good for another 1000 now.
I meant TOOLBOOK. You were talking about Toolbook, I was talking about Toolbook. However, I made a Freudian slip. Please forgive me.
My previous comment stands.
I remember doing Novell CNE course material on Toolbox. I'm not sure if this was Novell sanctioned or just some 3rd party company. Probably the later.

And all through this they paid the monthly fee.
Everquest already has 100+ zone servers and many other supporting servers.
;) networking issues.
There are rare rollbacks, scheduled and un-scheduled downtime
The dream is to have a multitude of online games to choose from, each generating similar revenue.
A cash cow of 30 or 40 million a month with large profit margins is very attractive.
Yes you can. You have about 1 sec before it gets copied back. Or from a DOS prompt, move the mplayer2.exe to wmplayer.exe.
What I did was copy the wmplayer.exe name to the clipboard, delete wmplayer.exe and quickly renamed mplayer.exe
XP will then be helpfull and restore mplayer2.exe for you. It only looks at the file name not the size or anything else.
You can remove wmplayer.exe and rename mplayer2.exe (in the same directory) to wmplayer.exe
That's a start
I'm curious about the Photoshop analogy.

Compared to KDE 2, it is much improved.
I specifically remember asteroids cost over $100 when it was released. Only one friend, who's father was a doctor, could afford it. There were others.
This was $100 Canadian, in the late 70s.

Good with fondue.
The Lemon Song? I don't recall anyone "Squeezing a lemon" in LOTR
"Achilles Last Stand" is more of a Greek slant to it.
There are a few more examples but you're right it wouldn't be hard to argue.
