    I never played the original but HOMM 2 and 3 kick serious amounts of ass, but HOMM 4 was buggy as all hell and didn't come with multiplayer.

    The goal of Free Software is not to destroy or even hurt commercial software. The purpose of Free Software is to provide a useful tool (or entertaining game) that is Free to anyone and can be adapted to ones own needs.

    Provide some sort of value added service, such as basic tech support and maybe a small image hosting service which is only available with a CD key. Older versions of corel draw (corel draw 7) would install just fine without a CD key (my uncle gave me his copy when he no stopped needing it but no longer had the CD key) but warned that tech support was not available without a valid key.

    If I knew anything about GTK or GUI programming in general I would be glad to write a function for GIMP to "eat" all it's windows and provide a PSP7 style interface where the app is a window and all dialogs, menus, and open files stay inside it. Personally I like the current interface for GIMP but it was a bit scary to learn and many do have trouble with it.

    because embedding other people's images costs them money you dumbfuck, image hosts (except for shitty ones) usually cost money, and to avoid paying for hosting some jackasses decide to use other people's servers to take the hit for them.

    No, they also do not keep them from being downloaded in the firefox view page info>media dialog, which also happens to be a great tool for grabbing flash files off a website.

    In addidion to this, there is an extention for firefox that blocks the right-click capture javascript.

    I never loose much work these days, even when I loose power, because I have got into the habit of saving early and often.

    These days there is no excuse not to have a UPS on any workstation used for important tasks, a cheap one will run about $35 and will give you at least enough time to save your work and shutdown/hibernate windows. Higher end models in the $100-200 range give you time to continue working through short and medium length power failures as well as offering power conditioning which will extend the life of your hardware.

    Deliberately making it difficult to use information related to a subpoena will get you slapped with contempt of court charges, on the other hand if each *file* were to get it's own CD-R that would probably pass court scrutiny, as it is a logical division of data, oh and anything less than 1.44 megs should be thrown on a floppy

    Guess what, though? I can't complain about Windows XP though, either.

    I take it you don't add or remove USB devices while windows is booting up or shutting down?
