I've spoken to customer services at WotC and they say that any decision to release the entire collection of Dragon and Dungeon as PDF would rest with Paizo. So I've emailed the Paizo customer service address to put my request in.
Quite a while ago, they released issues 1-250 of Dragon in PDF format on (many) CDs. Anyone know if they are planning to do the same again now the collection is 'complete'? I'd certainly pay to have the entire collection of Dungeon and Dragon magazines available.
If people are _dumb_ and can't read a contract, then why should the law be their daddies?
Because leaving 'dumb' people with parking-lot therapy as their only source of comeback isn't advantageous to society as a whole? Keeps the street cleaners in business though I guess.
Actually, from a maths point of view, my first question would be: Following the first two brain tumor diagnoses, how much more vigilant to the (now known) symptoms of a tumor did the rest of the workers become? This cluster could very well be explained by people picking up on subtle signs of a (non-malignant) tumor that they would have otherwise lived in ignorance of until they died at a 'normal' age.
Also, again from a maths point of veiw, don't forget that a cluster of seven people with brain tumors is perfectly possible by random without any outside influence.

Yes, you could make the car black to absorb more photons, or white to reflect more, but this isn't going to magically turn into some form of climate control.

Anytime I hear that a friend or someone at work is considering a Sony purchase, I go out of my way to find a better offer from any other company. I've done them out of a laptop already this week.
My reason is more to do with Sony shafting Alderac over the Stargate RPG license, but yes boycott them in any way you can.
I've not bought anything with a Sony badge since Sony Pictures bought MGM and then jerked Alderac around with the license for the Stargate-SG1 role playing game.
Current cost to Sony, about four thousand pounds. Well, it makes me feel better... It was a kick ass RPG too - the Alderac designers ROCK.
There were recruiting adverts for the British army on TV a couple of years ago that stopped the action half way through a confrontation and asked what should be done next. The correct answer in one was for the soldier to take of his sunglasses and make eye contact with the irate gun-toting millitia man.
At one point, the Brits in Iraq were patrolling on foot with berets rather than ballistic helmets for this reason.
Softly-softly is the right way to go.
One interesting point to note is that, if it were possible to transport a person via this process, the trip would appear to be instantaneous. Although travel would occur at the speed of light, no time would appear to pass for the traveller.
Cool.
I find the destruction that would caused by the huge ripple that you propose to create in the surface of the land and send eastwards to 'cancel' the tidal wave just as it reaches New York interesting.
Please expound on your method for doing this so that I may take notes. _strokes white cat and gets out notepad_
Personally, if I see somebody drawing a flowchart, I know they aren't currently up to scratch (which doesn't mean that they can't get better).
[Looks up from flowchart] None taken...
Actually, flowcharts are good for telling users what to do, and for similar reasons, might be appropriate for designing test scripts. But for the system- nope.
This depends strongly on the system.
For a system that takes in data, performs computations, and spits out answers, a structured design using flowcharts is often appropriate.
That said, implementing part of that design using OO code can be useful. For example, using C++ with a matrix class to do geometry based processing. The actual process may best be described as a flowchart though.
OOA/OOD/OOP are not the silver bullets. I've seen a major revision of a large commercial computational program wither on the vine due to misunderstanding how to best apply object based thinking. 'Everywhere' is not the right answer.
There was a burglary a few weeks ago in a house that backs onto my garden. Exactly one week later the police, in their helpful and efficient way, asked me if I'd seen anything. A week later! I ask you...
... and I answer. That would be because most peoples routines are the same from week to week and hence this is one of the best times to ask for information. The same is done with reconstructions.
Y'know, from my experience, if you approach the police as if they are just regular guys then you get treated really well by them. Ever considered that you might have a chip on your shoulder?
There are approximately 6 billion people on Earth. The odds of this asteroid striking are 1 in 909,000. By my calculations 6,601 people will be struck by this asteroid!

Vogon are a kick-ass data recovery firm in the UK. I've used them to recover data from a couple of HVD scsi drives from an old HP workstation and they wrote code to extract the data and shipped it back on a bunch of DVD's in a couple of days. I guess that they were founded by an Adams fan.
Didn't know that they did computer forensic work as well. Sensible, considering their other talents.

- Pull into filling station.
- Yank dead block.
- Slot in freshly charged block.
- Drive off.
- Filling station attach the old block to the mains and add it to the stack of charged ones when done.
Of course, this relies on the block being cheap enough to manufacture so that you can afford to have a stack of them sitting around just in case.Also, again from a maths point of veiw, don't forget that a cluster of seven people with brain tumors is perfectly possible by random without any outside influence.

The ATI binary driver does not support dual-head. You get a corrupted image of the main head on the second screen (although the cursor renders ok).
Stretching the screen over both displays does work, but you can't then maximise a window within a physical screen.
The Nvidia driver supports both Xinerama and Twin View.
Me: That CD's infected with DRM
Friend: What's DRM?
Me: Digital Restrictions Management. SONY has infected that CD so that it will alter the way Windows works so that you can't put that CD onto your iPod or make a copy to use in your car player that eats CD's occasionally.
That might finally get through.

Tell that to a friend of mine that submitted a design for a web book search database, which would be maintained by the school Liberian.
