That's essentially what Steam does. In fact, the CD key isn't even needed, as evidenced by the fact that loads of people purchase games entirely online. Valve just associates a game with an account.
We were given Blackboard to use as a collaboration tool in what I suspect was actually a pilot program to justify spending what is presumably an extraordinary amount of money on the software. The other school in the project used Moodle for their own purposes. Thus, we were basically being told that we're too stubborn/stupid to learn Blackboard, I would assume by incompetent teachers that didn't know the difference between good and bad software.
Students: "But Blackboard doesn't work!"
Teachers: "It works just fine for us."
Students: "Blackboard. doesn't. work. How do you expect us to collaborate with it if we can't post anything? Or if the uploader is broken?"
Teachers: "It's not that hard to learn. You just have to get used to it. That's how it is everywhere."
Is it just me or does this happen in every institution that must use this miserable package?
The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device should be all you need for long-distance travel. And don't worry about hot climates - all Aperture technologies are rated up to 4000 degrees Kelvin.
Why is everyone raving about SOM? Admittedly I never used OS/2, especially never coded for it, but from what I've read it seems like it does lots of the same things as COM. Why is SOM such a hot topic? People are saying that it could make Linux an attractive option for programmers if open-sourced and ported, doesn't DBus fill that niche? (on that note, is comparing SOM and DBus an apples-oranges comparison?)
I have an uncle out in Kansas who doesn't have an actual service. Rather, he has an HDTV and an HD broadcast reciever (way ahead of the game). Virtually everything he gets is in HD (about 10 channels in his area iirc), and everything he doesn't get over the air he downloads. A bit risky, but cheaper than Comcast or satellite. Seems that might start becoming an economical solution for anyone wanting HD but wanting to avoid expensive services.
Qt is portable in the sense that ideally, the application developer will simply recompile for each target platform. Of course there will probably be some API differences that need to be rewritten, but for the most part you can simply ignore cross-platform issues. It's possible with Xlib and POSIX standards, yes, but would you rather ship with your application a complete X server or a few DLLs?

August 27? 27/8
Now explain to me why Windows is the biggest malware target.
Recursive Beowulf clusters?
Actually, they use Excel's grid as a display. RTFA.
Informative? mods on crack, as usual

llvm is only used for CPU fallbacks, not the entire shader engine.
Will we see the dark side of the moon?

So why do programmers care about SOM?
Watch those screens for a bit - it'll show the plans for the Borealis. On those plans is supposedly a mention of GlaDOS herself.
D3D (9) and GL are available, they're not giving preference to either.
I am continually ashamed that he represents my state.
So much for the pudding.

7. Clip is, at least in part, Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
So...you imply that this "security cake" is more useless, more of an illusion as time goes on....
so you're saying that the cake is a lie?

"Mac"? What company is this "Mac"?
And Zoidberg!
Crap, I should reinstall it...
Yeah, but come January 19, 2038, it's the 70s all over again.
