They might have been testing the installer in VMWare, and resetting the image back to the pre-install state after each test (without trying to reboot the image post-install).
While I strongly feel that no one should be able to patent putting certain types of sequential data objects into a scrolling list widget (on the grounds that the invention is the widget, not the application of the widget to some kind of data), Apple has sort of hyped their way into a corner here, having touted this amazing feature of the iPhone as cool and innovative, they now cannot consistently claim that it is obvious and trivial.
Maybe IBM patenting this idea is a good thing...if they refuse to license it out to any studio at any price, and send the attorney drones after everyone who even comes close to infringing it.
How can you be running a huge gaming expo, under the banner "E for All", and not even know what PAX or Penny Arcade are? They obviously know nothing about their target audience at all.
Yeah! I what PAX is and who the Penny Arcade guys are...but who are these "IDG" nudniks anyhow?
Gosh darnit AKAImBatman, stop spreading the secret of OO-JS everywhere!!! How are we supposed to look like genius web programming wizards if everyone knows how our tricks work?
JFS derived from SCO Sys V? Eh? The first IBM JFS I recall is the one that came with AIX/6000 (circa 1990), which was BSD-based, by way of SunOS. Sun happily licensed the source code for (BSD-based) SunOS to IBM, because it was in the process of replacing its old & tired BSD-based OS with it's new Solaris SVR5-based hotness. All of the header files in AIX/6000 thus had the Sun copyright statement in them...at no point did SCO Sys V come into this.
For nearly a thousand years London has been a wretched hive of scum and villainy; it's only been in the last hundred years or so that a wealthy-looking unarmed person could walk the streets with an expectation of being left unmolested. Thank god it's returning to its historical status quo.
I'd be a little more worried if I was Brad. That feature your boss wants to know who's responsible for..what if it's 'Clippy'???
Worse...Brad cops to being responsible for the component in SQL Server exploited by the Slammer worm. It's not clear if he actually wrote the buffer code vulnerable to overrun, or he just owns fixing it now.
When you a grinding, if a GM suspects botting they will whisper you looking for you to respond. If you don't respond within a reasonable amount of time you get nailed for botting.
Ever been laid off a few days before Christmas? I have. It sucks. You get to spend the holidays in a funk about losing your job, and you can't really start networking and interviewing seriously until everybody gets back to work after New Years Day.
I knew I had a problem when I found myself in the back alleys of Paragon City, late at night -- tired, dizzy, and strung out -- trying to score just one more damn badge.
Shyeah, right. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten ganked trying to switch from my herbalism toolbar to my combat toolbar, or trying to find the right spell icon...or how many times I've accidentally quaffed a potion or food item trying to drag it from one pouch to another...I'm spoiled by City of Heroes UI...

It disagrees with my preconceived beliefs, so it must be fraudulent and biased.

One thing DDO has done is maximized the use of the Y axis in all their maps, creating a true 3-D world. Who doesn't love Feather Fall?
First of all, I would argue that this is the use of the Z axis, not the Y.
Secondly, I would point out that City of Heroes has had this, including in-flight combat, for 2.5 years.
But kudos to Turbine for implementing this functionality, which was sorely lacking in Neverwinter Nights.

Years ago, a gym here in Rochester, NY had billboards up that said: "When the aliens invade, they'll eat the fat people first."

Instead of inventing a new material, the Soviet space program just poured the soda into a glass.
