Bits are free. Bandwidth is not. RedHat is not now nor have they ever been obligated to provide you with, really, anything.
This is why I bothered to learn the stuff in Linux from Scratch. Sure, it's not plug-and-play, but I'm not paying anyone for support or packaging so I can't really expect anyone to do it but myself in the long run.
If you want Red Hat to give you guaranteed service, pay for it. Or are you the type that complains when any free offer is rescinded due to massive take-up and skyrocketing costs?
Hrm. I don't know, I think the map file is a bit big for just data--I'd think they'd pre-render some stuff in the map file if for no other reason than to justify their EULA, whether or not it causes a performance/disk space hit.
Those are your own levels...but their characters and terrain images and textures, after all.
In other words, perfectly legit, because any map you make with their editor, unless you replace EVERY image, sound, texture, mesh, etc. is just a compilation (by you, admittedly) of their artwork and effort.
I think it's just a question of what you're used to--I've been dealing with man pages for ~10 years and I find it easier than my occasional required foray into MSDN.
But isn't that pretty much what it alwasy boils down to? Stuff starts easy or difficult, but after a bit of learning curve either way, it's really just what you make yourself learn how to use.
Assuming, of course, you can find anything at all on MSDN. I've never been able to coax their search engine to give me what I needed without a fight--of course, I was spending a lot of time looking for obsolete VB documemtation so I could rewrite a set of desktop apps from VB5 to an actual programming language.

Computers make learning calculus a lot HARDER. They make actually DOING calc a lot easier, but they severely limit the rate at which you can understand what the hell the equation means, in the vast majority of cases I know (as an engineering stude^Wgraduate with math student friends).
People don't get it. Computers are a tool, not a cure-all. I wouldn't let a kid use a calculator/computer in math class until he proved he understood the equations and could do 'em by hand, any more than I'd let a kid start straight on a table saw in wood shop without some solid grounding in "how to draw/cut straight lines" and the basic prerequsites to the use of more powerful tools.
You don't have to release anything to anyone under the GPL--but if you DO release, you can't restrict redistribution, and you have to release either just source or source+binaries. It's perfectly legal under the GPL for any company to do whatever the crap they want to the code and not release the source, so long as it stays in-house. The minute the binaries are in the wild, the source must be too.
That's the point--the small studios are either members or affilitated with MPAA members, and the MPAA has said that if the independents send out screeners, they will no longer get ANY distribution or promotion from the MPAA.
Most of the "independent" filmmakers under discussion here are piggybacking on the MPAA precisely to get help with that bigger audience.
The Jews who settled in Palestine under the Ottomans bought their land with cash and improved it with their own labor. Read the history.
Secondly, the violence between Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine falls into three categories, in chronological order: 1. Jewish patrols defending bought-and-paid-for land from bandits 2. Israel defending the borders it was given by the current occupying power from wars of aggression by adjacent states given their borders by the same occupying power. 3. Israeli soldiers and police trying to find some effective way of dealing with suicide attacks.
QUOTE: "Here's a question: Why do Jews think they can get into gun battles with Arabs and "win"?"
Answer: Because every time the Arabs start a war with the Jews, the Jews somehow manage to win, with (now) or without (1948 etc) external support.
As for your entire thesis, "jews knew they weren't wanted"...suppose you bought a vacant lot in my town. Then you built a house and farm, and you were very profitable. And then everyone in the town attacked you with pitchforks because they didn't want you there, AFTER you paid for the land and worked on it. Would you leave because you "weren't wanted" or would you call the police/defend yourself?
You might wish to note that this implies that your definition of "conservative" is equivalent to their definition of "leftist libertarian", not that their quiz is "wrong".
Actually, why would a creature that lives in perpetual dark and has no bioluminescence of its own have any need for any light sensors at all? I imagine they'd notice it about as much as you'd notice an x-ray--not in your usual bandwidth, you don't percieve it, no problems. =)

You're misreading the bolded statement.
Basically, that means that the copyright owner must have released the song for sale in some form...if it's on an album you could have bought at some point, the artist HAS to let you cover it for the stated fees--that's the point of compulsory licensing, the songwriter doesn't get a choice.
The clause you bolded is to prevent me from doing something like singing a previously unreleased Johnny Cash (for example) song without permission by citing the compulsory licensing law.
I still have a StormLinux promotional poster (tagline: "It's time to close the Windows(tm)") in my server room, despite the fact that I don't even think it exists anymore (it had an excellent hardware detection mechanism in 2000-2001ish, and not much else as I recall.)
You're either trolling, stupid, or not paying attention.
Shipping food to most of the countries with lots of starving people has two results: 1) Dictator gets more money/loyalty. 2) Most people in that country continue to starve.
Unless you're advocating taking over distribution to make sure the food gets where its needed. In which case you're really talking about invasion, and ultimately, imperialism. It's been tried the polite way, and no dictator worth anything has ever let peacable aid convoys feed more than a small, select percentage of his people without his own people being in control of the food supplies (And thus profiting and black-marketing, people starve, etc.)
So let 'em starve, pretend you're helping and enrich the dictator, or use military force to feed the people who need feeding. Those are your choices. When you can rationalize one of them, then come back and talk about cutting research funding.
I think it might be a question of institution--one of my masochistic friends did a triple major in CS/Math/Physics, and he thought that Math was hardest, followed by CS, and Physics was a complete joke.
In general, though, I think one's perception of "easy" and "hard" is highly personal and related to one's specific aptitudes.
You sound like the type of guy who finds Ann Coulter and Pamela Anderson attractice. I'll take my plain, sorta-chubby, and incredibly cute geek girls anyday.
Speaking as someone in possession of both a CompEng undergrad and a Management Science undergrad degree, they were equally challenging. I think the perception of business degrees being "easier" is due to the common idea in engineering that anything not involving calculus or discrete math is "easy".
Not the case. Just as your average business student couldn't handle the math in your average engineering degree, your average engineering student couldn't handle the human relations and creative aspects of the business degree. (For every MBA who can't do calculus, I can show you an engineering group project that flounders for complete lack of leadership.)
This posting isn't meant to disrespect either technical/scientific degree holders or management/arts degree holders. Everything has its own set of challenges.

That wasn't a "real" ad. If I recall correctly, it was made for a competition of advertising companies or colleges or something.
Hell, I always pay rent and bills in cash, even with a real job. It's simpler.

Eh, beauty is a matter of personal taste--you like Angelina Jolie, I happen to like the one BSD chick (Ceren?).
On the other hand...ugly, as exemplified by Pam Anderson, is universal (except apparently for the 'tards who think she's hot).
Sure, Pam Anderson is attractive... ...if you like unnaturally blonde horse-faced bimbos who are so insecure they need to resort to plastic surgery.
