A better sexual analogy would be in the B/D realm, where one person keeps the bound person against their will simply because, well "I want the sex and they don't want to give it to me".
You are completely mistaken. Consensuality is a key rule in the BDSM lifestyle; no one will tie you up if you don't want to, and no one will keep you tied up if you change your mind.
Yes let's turn off the televisions in waiting rooms so we can peruse home reno magazines from 1993 instead.
You're lucky, those are mildly enjoyable. I only find those stupid celebrity gossip rags. Whenever I see those damn things, I feel like doing a Gumby scene: "MY BRAIN HURTS!" Fuck, don't people buy Reader's Digest anymore?!
I'm amazed that no one in the USA has yet published the coolest roleplaying system ever created: 3D&T. The base guide has a hundred pages, the character sheet takes only a page, and it only uses d6. It's cheap, versatile, fast, and easy. Think of it as a drastically simplified GURPS.
"The Tablet takes cutting-edge PC technology and makes it available wherever you want it, which is why I'm already using a Tablet as my everyday computer. It's a PC that is virtually without limits -- and within five years I predict it will be the most popular form of PC sold in America." - Gates at COMDEX 2001
An SP2 installation is going to work on a 99% of the computers out there and maybe popping in a driver disk from the mfg or letting it update from M$. In any case, it's usually pretty simple. You CANNOT say the same for linux.
Installed XP Pro SP2 on my new computer. No network, no proper resolution for my widescreen monitor, without installing the drivers that came with the motherboard.
Booted with Ubuntu 7.10 CD. Network and proper wide resolution just work.
Wiped everything and installed iATKOS (hacked Mac OS X). It was a bit tricky to get running (it's a hack after all), but again, network and resolution simply work.
Ah, so that's what it's called? I once used a hack somewhat like that for MacOS 8; you hit the edge of the screen with the cursor, and it swapped to a second desktop. Too bad it made the system even more unstable than its usual.
On my next CD, I'm going to put a big disclaimer on the back or something. Maybe like "Caution - This CD was mastered to sound good as opposed to sound loud like all the other crap on the market. If you want it louder, turn up your stereo/iPod."
You could devote a page or two from the CD's booklet to tell your audience why your CD sounds softer, and why that makes it better than the overcompressed shit that the big labels put out these days.
What's this "drums" thing you talk about? You mean those muffled thuds that one can barely hear behind the wall of shrieking guitars and distorted voices?
A shitty DVORAK, a shitty QWERTY, same shit. If you want a good keyboard, whatever key layout you prefer, be sure to get an Unicomp Customizer, the one true heir of the Model M.

Can't the WINE team do the same? They REALLY could use a better interface, you know.

He is not completely mistaken, actually...
WTF man... if I was in your place, I'd have gone THIS IS SPARTA on the 1993 bitch.
DAT and MiniDisc were successful?!

Mod parent: -1, believes in urban legends.
Look again, it seems you are wrong. There is a strip of icon displaying the running applications.
All the mentioned games seem to be about network deathmatches. What would you suggest for someone who prefers story-driven single-player games?
(having an OSX version would help a lot too)
