You're the first person I've seen today who "gets it". I am not a Jedi, but I can tell (and it's fairly obvious) that people who identify them as Jedis are clear on the fact that they cannot *actually* use the Force and so on. But the concepts that you've listed above are at least as good as any other religion, and without all the craziness.
Umm... in regards to that last thought, I would say you are agreeing with the previous post. I do think that it was not intended as such, as I'm guessing you were intending to mean that Muslims are wrong or inaccurate regarding Jesus (if you're not, accept my apologies), to which I say: if there are two different accounts of a 2000 year old event, who's to say with certainty, which, if any, is true?
Well, I disagree with you on one point: pre-determined RPGs can be a good thing if executed correctly. Final Fantasy VII did it perfectly, because the story could back it up. However, when they tried the same formula with VIII and IX, they failed. If you haven't already, try Knights of the Old Republic: it offers a good balance between a scripted story and free will on the part of the player.
My question is how she lost her iPod. I keep mine in my pockets at all times, and if, for example, I have to change at the gym or whatever, I lock it up. I mean, if it was a pickpocket, I'll understand, but in that case I wouldn't worry about my laptop, as you would notice that missing quite a bit sooner. I think the truth in this case might be that his daughter isn't responsible enough to have nice things at this point. Although, as with your comment, I don't think this necessarily translates into getting pregnant at the first opportunity. Although it might.
When I followed the FTP link given in the summary, I noticed that the DVD iso was named something along the lines of "eval". So, is this an installation DVD or an evaluation DVD? Do they just call it evaluation to trick you into buying the boxed version?
Actually, my experience with Dell was completely different. I had just finished removing Linux from my dual-boot Windows XP/Linux box, because I had got a new dedicated linux box and I needed the hard drive space. To make a long story short, I had tried everything, and Windows was refusing to boot. I had run fixmbr, and done everything else I could find on the subject. Still nothing. In the mean time, I had rigged up a GRUB bootdisk that would make Windows XP boot, but it was a real inconvenience. Also, for some reason, I couldn't even get the Windows XP CD to boot to a recovery console. So, I finally called the dreaded tech support. After giving them the story, and what I had done, the guy managed to dig up some obscure combination of keys that had to be pressed in the BIOS setup screen. Cleared the problem right up, and no data was lost. I think it just matters who you get.
It's because MS has never enforced the concept on developers or users that this has been an option. Indeed, in some earlier versions of Windows, I'm guessing that this was not an option. Also, I'm guessing that many of these 3rd-party developers do not consider running non-admin, therefore they cannot effectively ensure their program will work without admin rights. In summary, it's just that non-admin has always been "the way" in the Unix world, whereas it hasn't been for Windows.
But the problem is (and I know from experience) that sometimes you *need* to access a restricted site. And the teacher is off doing other things, and doesn't want to be bothered, and it will save everybody 20 minutes if you just do it yourself. The point of BESS is not to prevent worms, as far as I know. Besides, these systems should be patched to avoid such things.
Yeah, in exchange for signing it, you get to use the school computers. Theoretically, you *could* refuse to sign, but it would mean that you couldn't use the computers, which is an option most students aren't willing to take.
I believe that one of the reasons that Paul Martin was elected was that he promised to allow MPs to vote the way they wanted to on bills such as this. During Chretian's tenure, I'd have to say that "crossing the floor" would mean killing your political career and ending up as a backbencher for the rest of your life. Although it can't be made illegal or "against the rules" to vote the way you see fit, the leader of the party can certainly make it unpleasant if they choose.
Installing aa library happens at the same time as installing the software. I have never had to look for a library when installing something, because apt-get/yum/portage/etc. does it for me. Just like Windows programs may install DLLs they need, linux programs will sometimes require libraries. These are usually available as binary, and as such, do not require compilation, or, if you are using a distro with apt-get or a similar system, no extra work beyond installing the application at all.
That makes no sense... just because it was my first impression, doesn't mean it was correct. It was a good film, now that I've had time to go back and rewatch it. Plus, at the time, I was probably 10 or 11, and therefore didn't really know what made a film good or bad.

Uematsu may not be Beethoven, but his music is rather excellent. Although, I'm not sure how good it would be without having played whatever game it went along with. Part of its excellence comes from the fact that it allows you to so vividly recall the game.
Also, what makes you so sure that Uematsu isn't the equal of Beethoven? The orchestrated versions of One-Winged Angel and Aerith's Theme, from Final Fantasy VII could definitely (at least in my mind) be compared with a piece by Beethoven, and not come out any worse.
You've never been to Cuba, have you? I have, twice. Although it is safe to say that freedom of speech does not exist, there aren't secret agents listening to your every move. On one tourist tour (you know, the ones where they cover everything up... so you no doubt think), the guide actually criticized some elements of the Revolution. Not harshly or anything, but it's not like he was worried about secret agents of the government hearing him. And this was someone who was put in a position with Western tourists (i.e. is supposed to be the *most* patriotic). Perhaps, it is just that you believe everything you hear about Cuba from the US media, which is mostly nothing more than propoganda. And, of course, Batista wasn't exactly a saint either... nor were any of the other American-backed dictators in Central America.
You know what? This is almost exactly what I wanted to say. I'll admit that, when I first saw Episodes I and II, I hated them and thought they were a disgrace. I watched III, and I thought it was a good movie. I then rewatched the first two, and came to the realization: they were actually fairly good. Epsodes 4-6 were also amazing, but in a different way. I think that the most important point, as you stated, was that no one could accurately compare Ep 1-3 with 4-6, because almost everyone has seen 4-6 multiple times. When compared on a somewhat more equal basis, the first three don't fail so miserably (or, indeed, at all).
Also, I hate the people that whine and bitch about the acting. The acting was not bad. It wasn't an Oscar performance, but it was somewhat believable given the circumstances.
Not for me there isn't. I will pay, usually, up to $50 dollars for a game or other piece of software. If I can't get a reasonable alternative for free. I'm 16, and I can tell you that I would much rather have a car, and use the GIMP, than have Photoshop (legally) and walk.
Because I don't like paying for software, yet I don't really want to warez everything. Linux is a programmer's system, as far as I am concerned, so it makes sense that there are more Free programs for it. For games, I still use windows. For me, it is always the best tool for the job which gets used.
As a Linux user, I have never encountered something that I wish my shell (bash) could do that it couldn't. Admittedly, I don't script operations often (if ever), but, from what I've seen, bash has no end of capability in that arena. Linux also benefits from having perl and often other interpreters installed by default. I'm afraid I don't see how Microsoft is going to build on the shell/CLI capabilities of Linux/Unix, but if they can find a way, I'm eager to see what it is.
That's probably because people at work have the most time to waste on/., and most businesses have PCs running MS Windows. I can't imagine the self-hatred that would come from being a/.-visiting Windows user... I mean, you're told on a daily basis that your OS sucks.
I bought my last game in February, and I don't even remember when I got my last ($200) video card, although I'm guessing it was about 8 months ago. Now that I have my driver's license, I would much prefer getting a car than getting new computer equipment. Did you ever stop to think that maybe not all of us have the disposable income to just spend money on whatever we want on that particular day?
I hate to say this, but: you are an idiot. It's open source. It's not like they can force it into the kernel, considering that anyone can take it right back out. It will, however, be a boon for security, since hackers will theoretically be unable to install (or make run) hacked binaries. In the case of Linux, TC will be in the control of the user, meant to improve overall security. It is TC on a BIOS level, or in a restrictive environment such as windows, that makes me worry: that is where TC can be used for evil.

Hmmm, that actually makes a lot of sense... I'll have to try that if I get caught playing games again and they threaten me (I don't care if YANAL).

It means that he's a white person, who lived in Africa, and has moved to America I'm assuming. You know, white people *do* live in Africa.

Linux or FreeBSD, which both can run NWN without WineX. I'm guessing, anyway.
