If they had heard of Murphy's law, they wouldn't have bothered testing. "So sorry about that crash and burn chaps, but it was out of our control. Murphy's law and whatnot"
Let's just break it down to error per Line of Code. Since LOC is already taken as a measurement unit (Which I still have problems with, as the LOC keeps growing, making it like inflation, I mean seriously, How many LOC's could the egyptians have stored in the pyramids), so we will use Ballmers. This particular example is measured in kiloBallmers, and could have been expressed as gigaBallmers just as easily.
Or they could have just sent out invitations by registered mail. If you wanted to get fancy, you could put the RFID in the invite, or *gasp* number them!
Umm, did you see the list of companies in the article? If the laws are currently counter-intuitive to their business model, guess which ones going to change.
I'd rather pay for a cab then jam an arterial shunt into my leg that could bleed me dry in under an hour. Couple that with the fact that I would be drunk whilst doing said leg jamming, and I'd choose to have my address and a cab company's dispatch number tatooed to my forearm.
But you go spend your money to get not drunk. I'll be the one in the back of the cab with the ugly girl who's going to get lucky, puking my guts out.. You have your fun... Uhh,
The expansion pack comes with a new cd-key. The original files are all available to download, and are completely playable off of a pure linux machine. There is no need to install to a Windows partition for the original installation anymore, and if you don't want to play online, there isn't a need for a registered CD-key, just a mathematically valid one.
So you can technically download the entire NWN game, install it and use a keygen to get a key. This key won't let you play online, but you can play the game. Since the new expansion comes with a new key, you can buy the expansion, install the original, use a keygen, install the expansion, use the proper key, and go on your merry way playing online. SoU was the same.
I agree! And you don't have to buy everything, they are offering up the entire linux downloads off their site for the original game. If you feel cheap, ask for the expansion for Christmas, and download the original.
You don't know how close you are. Name the successful music artists from Canada.
Gordon Lightfoot (Our 'President') Avril Lavigne Celine Dion Barenaked Ladies Rush Ashliegh MacIsaac The Tea Party (somewhat) Great Big Sea (again, somewhat) and maybe a handful of others...
Now do you think that any of these artists have anything to do with this SOCAN or S.C.A.M. or whatever you want to call it? No. What's going to happen is we will be paying Canadian 'Artists' who play some backwater folk music like a half talented Gordon Lightfoot on depressants, to copy foreign music. I'm all for socialism, but this is really out there. It's a tax on the success of others, but paid by the huddled masses.
I guess I didn't make my point clear enough. I never meant to infer that they did, or that they will, only that they could if they lose their revenue stream.
I was trying to make a point to support Redhat, not burn them by dropping all of your support because they're now charging for theirs.
because they will start putting in non-gpl'ed software as well, and charging for that.
Sure, the OS is free, but the Red Hat ultimate admin controller dohickey costs $2500.00. You want the CD, you compile from source and make your own distro.

Four more years of Bush...
Will somebody do something about these bastards?
Give me a bottle of scotch, a phone number, and cab fare.
And a camera.
MSSQL CE, that's what.
Either that or the true nerds won't get the shit kicked out of them in high school any more.
Then write a program to automatically categorize pornography pictures and sell that on e-bay.
scored a measley 17th. Oh well, time for more surfing.

In that case, I've been proven innocent in about a million crimes already! I love technology!
And Maxim...

It isn't going to be their business model.
You say poorly designed, I say 'End-user Pertinent'. SysAdmins do not get advice from Slashdot*
*Even when they do, they don't say they do
Heh, Didn't notice that.
I just found the reference, I didn't write it, therefore I didn't write it. Nice catch tho...
And btw, nice catch.
Here ya go.
really then, what's the point?

How much does this procedure cost?
Yeah, I know.
Try PyQT and Kugar.
It's powerful, and once you get past the whole OOP thing, it's brain-dead to use.
I'm still waiting for Crystal Reports on Unix tho... It's a better program.
I've seen this used many times and is used in nature by birds and fish...
Nature runs BSD Folks. You heard it here first!

At least Bioware will get some money.
Or James Cagney, who vehemently denied ever saying "you dirty rat..."
But I haven't any ninjas to tax!
