I don't know... living in New York myself,
sweat like a pig in the swampy hellhole, where he gets to slap some stupid jitney driver in the unending clusterfuck they call traffic, and suck down a lukewarm coke in the muddy concrete and cardboard dump he calls home sounds exactly like here. You get those locales backwards or something?
How about "it's their store, they can sell what they want?"
or should we complain that the christian book store should be selling nudie magazines because they sell other books?
There are alternative places to get nudie magazines.
Just to second this, it's not even playing the same game, it's playing the same level day in, day out... Game testing is like any other testing - it's friggin' boring as hell, repetitive, and tedious. You're not trying to get the 120 stars, you're trying to find out where things break, and then do that over and over until you can replicate it for the coders. By the time the game is fun, it's in public beta (like Starcraft II, or Windows Vista).
I would say that orange peel is "not especially nice" in the same way that salt isn't especially nice. You don't eat either by the spoonful, but they can make tremendous additions to flavour.
Aha! I thought of that already... which is why I have a little hard drive case lined with some nice Columbian ground coffee. Ohh, and I shove that up my ass.
lawlz. There are serious bugs in OO.o that have been open for YEARS. I've given up on having anything get fixed in a timely manner. What's the upside to spending time creating thought-out, informative, reproducible bug reports only to have them sit there forever?
They might have a tough time finding product placement for this household, since the account's in my grandfather's name, and he died in 2003. Maybe some ads for psychics?
I think the point is that they should catch this error as early as possible (i.e. before the download starts) rather than after you've gone to the trouble of downloading and trying to install it.
Please don't. I spend 95% of my time in Gentoo, but I have my ntfs-3g drive mounted. There are plenty of occasions where I'll run into some little Windows program that looks interesting, so I'll download it straight to my "installx0r" folder on Windows. What you're proposing is that I reboot into Windows, attempt to find the site I was on, and download it then? That'll just about guarantee I never use your program.
Now, certain sites (cnet? Nvidia? Can't remember...) will have a suggestion for versions: "oh, it looks like you're running Opera on Linux - try this file," and that can be fine as long as they have a direct chooser for some other OS if that's not what I want.
Summary: I'm with everybody else. Non-issue; OP is an idiot. kdawson too, but we knew that already.

I see what you did there...

Canada?
a password lockout on a drive is daft, you want to encrypt the drive or not worry about it.
That's hardly daft. I have motion-detecting laser bullets in my foyer, but I still lock my front door.
CV is offering 101/15 in my neighbourhood... $45 a month.
Yeah, Apple's good at that (see the "giving the aliens a virus" scene in Independence Day).
We watch. And we are always here.

That'd be 1 bit if you could have 9s in binary, maybe...
Usually what I go with now is:
Linux
Apache
Mod_perl
PostgreSQL
You're spelling begs the question -- how much have you had to drink today?
These threads never fail to please.
Is it? What law is it illegal under? You can legally put fliers and such under people's windshield wipers.
No, you can't.
tl;dr version: Piracy gives you VIRUSES!!!11! Yarrr!

Is that the Hot Coffee mod I keep hearing about?
Sitting's fine. It's hard to stand up though.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no... You don't see a pattern there?!
There's no apostrophe in zoos either, but that didn't stop you.
I agree with the rest of what you've said, but
* Microsoft in bed with the RIAA? Since when?
Since "squirting" became a verb you could discuss with your mom.
Nuke it from orbit?
