I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people pick it for web apps.
I guess everyone is smoking crack except you. Seriously, why does MySQL get all this smack talk? I use it because its easy, every language I know of has bindings for it, its fast enough, and its stable. PLEASE spare me your "But XXX does that too, not to mention bla bla bla!" No, I won't switch, because I learned MySQL first (as I'm sure many others have) and so far it hasn't let me down.
if it just released that damn 1x4 brick when you need it
3 buddies of mine and I spent many hours playing tetris, especially the Versus mode on the SNES version. When we needed a piece, we would say "why don't they give me what I need!" or "they know they are screwing me over, i need a line!" The point being we assumed there was some committee ("they") inside the game, or possibly we were referring to the group that made the game, that was not giving the right pieces at the right time. The "they" became a running joke...
God what a pointless story.... I guess you had to be there.
What's with these fucking computer chess program designers? Do they have something against playing a completely legit game? I don't see how *anyone* could not be distracted by a computer quoting shakespeare at him while he's trying to concentrate. How is this fair, or within the rules?
When the stakes are this high, there is no room for this kind of childish bull shit.
For all the flaming Microsoft gets for copying stuff, it's amazing that KDE doesn't get the same. Just looking at the screenshots, its clearly evident that windows XP's style has definitely had influence on the KDE artists, in terms of icon style, colors, etc.
Well actually, I've been thinking of switching from KDE to something lighter. The reason is that I don't really *use* KDE. In other words, I click on the Big K menu roughly never. The apps I use are rxvt, gvim, mozilla, xmms, and sometimes konqueror for file management.
But the fact remains that Kicker keeps me around. I love the way it behaves, I can configure it easily, all my favorite tray utilities are running, I can switch desktops with no effort, etc. If I can find something similar to Kicker without all the KDE extras, I guess that would be a fair compromise.
Dude, it's not like it matters anyway. This type of crap always appears to me to be a PR move more than anything else. The general public is not lining law makers' pockets with cash, lobbyists are.
What I'd love to know is why the whole site had to be shut down. Seems really extreme to me. Why not just remove the offending products from the catalogue?
Not to mention, every CD out there has 18 songs of filler, garbage, and ONE song that you actually can listen to. Oh, you want a single? Sorry, it doesnt exist, buy the whole CD.

Umm... so what did your parents name you? Ahh, who gives a fuck. I'm going to call you Jethro.
Wow, thanks for clearing this up, I hope it's true. Given this information, I don't see why MS would buy Rare at all.
My fingers are crossed for a future DK title for the gamecube. My toes are crossed that it will be a side-scroller.
