They're trying to say that if I create something (it doesn't have to be a software program, call it a book) that I can't allow other people to copy it? What baloney!
Over a year ago I fould an easy to reproduce blue screen crash in windows 2000 caused by debugging an application when a menu is open. I stumbled onto it by accident and found an easy way to reproduce it. I couldn't find a way to contact MS though, I searched everywhere on their page and could only find info about their pay number for support... nothing about submitting detailed bug reports. I haven't checked to see if the bug has been fixed in SP3 yet, let alone SP4. If it hasn't, how could I tell them about it?
Bricks! I've spent thousands of hours since I found this addicting game over two years ago. It's based on the microsoft klotski game from 1991, which was based on an old Polish game. The goal sounds simple: move the master brick to the destination, but it's very hard to solve some puzzles at all, let alone in the best number of moves.
No other puzzle game has engulfed me as much as this beast. It's based on the microsoft game Klotski which was on an obscure entertainment pack for win 3.1. I found bricks 2 years ago and i've been playing it off an on ever since... I've easily logged thousands of hours. The author wrote it in pascal for DOS and i'd gotten a little sick of all the bugs in it, so this January I took it upon myself to rewrite it from scratch for windows, and now the windows version is on the page. If you like puzzle games, you ought to try it.

If you mean where I think you mean, that's not a bug. It's a button that only works when something is palced on it to hold it down.

Uhm, not really. I had no idea it and other items were added to the US version.
See my link to check it out.
Although I might be a bit biased ;-)
Oh and i'm a quake addict too.
