Demos often don't give you the full sense of a game, and you need the full version to get a feel for whether you really want the game or not.
You seriously believe what you just wrote? It looks like a flimsy rationalization for pirating. These days, it's often simpler to download a torrent than going to a website, registering, signing in, downloading the demo, installing crapware (not always), etc. That would have been a 'better' rationalization, I think.

Besides teh above remark of well thoguth migration paths - it is importante to remakr that support for python 2.x has not ended in any way.
As far as Iam aware, the recomendation is to keep working with python 2.6 - and use the py2to3 script to regularly to make 3.0 releases if you you can...
I simply didn't find anything funny in the memory of paying through the nose for a film and then not being able to enjoy it because of some idiot. Maybe I deserve the WHOOSH.
You have a very, very flawed understanding of "orders of magnitude". While 256 *2 *2 *2 *2 might be 4096, that has nothing to do with the fact that 256 and 4096 are _one_ order of magnitude apart. Unless you count in binary, which we're not.
Of course, anarchy in the roads would be so much safer than regulations that, for the most part, simply encode sensible use. It would not be conducive to road rage at all, no sir. Road rage is obviously caused by the regulations, and not by the idiot going 10 mph in a motorway without yielding.
Seeing your example below, you advocate big spending (or do roundabouts and periodic exits grow on trees?) to accommodate the few bastards who can't drive properly.
In engineering, you'd also propose protocols, languages and conventions freely interpretable, and that the end applications accommodate them? The visible result is the web, especially the browser wars era. A joy to work with, that was.

They also state "If you are looking for a reference manual, this isn't for you". So criticizing the series for not being good reference manuals is a bit rich.
That without even touching the fact that, as you mention, they explicitly say they'll be redundant to teach the subjects better.
There's nothing that forces the peer review process out of the interwebs. Accountability is there with gpg/pgp, the intercommunication is obvious. Journals could be organised over the web, even with subscriptions and all. Thing is, the time needed for proper review won't change significatively: the amount of time and attention a person must give to a review doesn't depend on the publication medium. The publishing time, OTOH, would be reduced, but I don't know how much that is.
Perhaps the journals don't do it because they feel it would threaten them in the same way it threatens the media industry?
I shouldn't have to say this. The article doesn't talk at all about the quality of the posting in the forums, only that in one, dissenting opinions are banned (and, being said by the competition, I take it with a boatload of salt).
Hint: Py3000 was _defined_ as purely a wishlist. Calling it vaporware is incorrect. And plus, it's coming out this year, with alphas already available. Hardly vaporous.
Either you are confused about their roots, or about what a complex, musical song is. Hint: Kill 'em all was their first album. Complex, musical stuff started with their second album.
What I liked about Metallica was their capacity to do different stuff and not paint themselves into a corner. Whatever your taste is, Master of Puppets, The Black Album and Load/Reload were _different_ from each other.
What I don't like about any artist is the tendency to do crap while attempting to "go back to the roots". If I wanted that, I'd just go buy their first records.

legitimately pirating the game.
The word of the day is 'Oxymoron'.

You seem to want Perl. You can find it at http://www.perl.org/

Or, you know, you could be annoyed by flickers of light you see with your peripheral vision.
Because -and no offence meant- his dick wouldn't have felt bigger in that case.
Flamebait? WTF?

No, because you don't know which of them is backspace if you have to compare what's written to what's recorded. Or maybe I'm getting it wrong.
That assumes no typos and no editing.
This says it better than I can.
nah, in the rest of the world most people just think that Linux is gratis, and don't care about it being libre.
Stupid regulations are a different beast, and I'm not condoning them. I just happen to think that there are some of them that are useful.

Wrong. 7.7 million are the _current_ downloads from the US, not the downloads on that day. If you look, the current total is over 29 million.
I didn't mean to say pgp would determine trust, only that it could be proof of identity. Trust is of course earned differently.

Indeed. Mod parent up.
Vista SP2? Could be. After all, Windows 98 SE _was_ packaged with a big ass-sticker that read "New Version"
