You don't look up at the sky in the city very often do you. Size may not matter but light pollution does. In London Twinkle Twinkle will soon have the line "How I wonder if you're real"... Heck someday if things get worse we may wonder if Neil Armstrong really landed on this mythical place called the moon.
Yes it did, so much so I went back to the keyboard on my 286 computer to play games, and such. It also had the distinct advantage of being able to have the control key pressed and using the left or right cursor key at the same time. Unfortunately be the time I had switched I'd gotten used to using that infernal key to quickly bring up the start menu, open the run dialog box, or start winblows exploder.
True it helped me there too, but having to do so many things manually was a big headache for me. Then the one time I had to do recursion, oi I wish there was a couple of layers of abstraction there...
I always think of my programs as a bunch of logic. Why the hell are there if statements and the such if it isn't. Now the math part, sure when I do math operations into an assignment. Also, if I'm trying to figure out will this algorithm be faster than this one, or should I go recursive and suffer through the migrane.
This in mind there are two major ways in which I WILL NOT under any circumstances code
Functional programming (Scheme, Lisp, et al) these are evil from my point of view (too much recursion arrgh my head)
Assembly with recursion (last time I snapped and didn't come out of it for a day, and then had to waste a months supply of Rum to get over the damage)
Ahh the fools, just get a second hard drive and backup data to it. I'd use Reiser across all my drives if I still didn't play some games in Winblows 98, or needed access to files I made in OOo... very rare that I do though.
I guess they didn't get much training in writing computer games. In Andre LeMothe's book Teach Yourself Game Programming in 21 days (great reference for back in it's time but its overshadowed by everything a good CS degree teaches) on copy protection states:
GAME LAW: ANYTHING CAN BE COPIED Sorry for shouting myself.
Retractable sails and momentum/inertia would take care of this. In space once you're up to speed there's no slowing you down unless you want to slow down.
I remember while taking my touch-typing computer class that I had a score of about 60 wpm ( I don't remember the accuracy) which was 3 wpm slower than my teacher. Now however when I type code I usually think before I type or while I'm typing which slows me down quite a bit. Typing while determining what to type is a lot slower than just copying something left in front of you.
My roommate is a MS zealot. We use my computer to play DVD movies on the TV in our living room. Just about any problem that comes up he'll end up saying that its because I violate the "Mircosoft standard". I hate that he never accepts my explainations either, once my X server wouldn't start working and he started going on about this would never happen with MS and all.
After reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers for my card things worked fine but he still thought it was a linux problem and not just a simple card driver problem.
The funniest time was when I told him my computer did follow Microsoft standards. The one very rare time I had a Microsoft Moment and my computer completely and utterly locked up.
I use Windows now only on the rare occasion that I need to run a game or two (I'm working on fixing that), or I need a very professional looking print job (my lexmark only works right under Windows). The only thing keeping my Windows/Linux ratio from reaching 50/50 is the bad parts of hardware support for both. WinXP stopped supporting my CD-RW drive, Linux hates my printers. Both really need to support hardware better (both old and new) before people can be really happy.
Quite frankly I think some parts of Linux need more documentation that is easier to read. I've had several problems (non major) that I ended up going through Windows problem solving methods to fix because I had no sweet clue in hell what to look for.
For the uneducated masses that is
clean out the configuration files
uninstall the unruly software and reinstall
get fed up when it becomes a major problem and reinstall the os (or in the case of linux upgrade to the latest and greatest distro.
While I love Linux I don't want to spend hours unpon hours sorting through something obscure to fix a problem that I may have made. Microsoft put me off of that from going through obscure things to fix problems I DIDN'T make...
4. Enterprise gets blown up back in the 1930s fighting Alien Nazi's all Captin's Logs are lost and along with it the f*cked up timeline, the Federation gets formed without Archer has a war with the Romulans because they are sh!tdisturbers, same reason with the Klingons, then Kirk and Co come along and pasify the angry slashmasses.
How Enterprise established that only a minority of Vulcans can perform mind-melds at that time, and on top of that they are persecuted as dissedents (this from the people that believe in the IDIC). So who would mind meld?
Plus Archer already encountered Romulans without seeing their faces.
I wonder how much of these losses are due to people switching to Open Source Solutions? I myself haven't bought software in a while, but I am using OSS quite extensively. I doubt it makes up more than half the reported losses yet (even if they did lose that much) but still it makes me wonder if P2P is to blame or if people are waking up and going to better software with far better prices.

I think you should have used an or statement there, because both conditions hold true for me.
I personally like the Boycott idea. Heck I'm check out independent artists right now so I can find some good music to listen too.

No no have every race from a Gene Roddenbery SF appear and have a battle royal. SW and the Jedi, Sith et al would be royally fvcked...

So now instead of a tinfoil hat I need a tinfoil passport holder...

You got DOS games to work under WinXP??? How all I ever got out of most of them were over glorified Segmentation Faults (and this was just Quake).
As to the second part it's time for an X.org fork to Z.org.

Tell me does the entire world have access to footage of this?
Well I miss the good old days where if you weren't part of the public then what happened in public was still somewhat private...

Don't forget that it can also be made into a phaser. Now that would be a sweet upgrade to a Galaxy class starship one bigass phaser cannon.
