As someone else who indirectly pays for it, it might be more than it costs of it was private, but at least everyone has access to it, and uses it. No one is scared to call the doctor for fear that the problems will be too expensive.
I doubt that the heating load in California is very high, and for most of the months of the year, is probably 0. You don't actually want that excess heat then, because that increases your cooling load
Well in the US (and in Canada too) creating monoploies is what Patents are for! I mean what did you think a patent was? It's basically an agreement between the inventor and the goverment that they can have a time limited monoply on something, and in return at the end of the time limit, anyone can make it.
They were, until I reloaded. But then I lost the slashdot logo. And apparently we're also not getting the images for the rounded corners everywhere. It seems to me the slashdot design was... slashdotted. That's the problem, where all the confusion is coming from.
How much are you paying for NS? Because that's still free.
Fact is, valve bought CS and DoD and they are the ones upgrading them to source/releasing new material. They can charge what they want. And they charge a) because they can (and people will buy) and b) to pay for development.
The NS team has comments on their front page about how funding is hard to come by, and without it NS would have been done a while back.
When does a mod become a seperate game?
Bullshit? Like what? The fact that you purchashed it is linked to your steamid, so there will be no BS invovled. Just redownload it, it won't make you purchase it. (I think)
Just like HL2, CS:S and everything. No need to pay once it is linked to your account.
As I replied to the first guy, I was slow and didn't read the FAQ at first before posting. I read it before all these replies, but I already saw my error. I do understand better now, and it seems like a good system.
Something seems wrong about that to me...
In fact that'll tax the low income people more (since they can't afford to save) and tax the high income people less (depending on the amount they save compared to the amount the spend)
Not a good idea.
How many versions of XP are there? Aren't there already like 7 versions?
Why does it matter how many versions there are?
I thought having more choice was good rather than having some sort of be all end all version that takes extra time/space to install for features that most will never use.
My pet peeve is programs that open dialogue boxes or windows at the very TOP of the screen.
For a large percentage of people, that's fine. But for me, I have my task bar at the top. (used macs years ago, switched and that's where I put it. Your program menu bar is up there, why shouldn't the task bar be?)
Anyways since some programs open up windows at the TOP they get covered by the task bar, and I cannot see the top so that I can move, close or mimize them. I am forced to change the size of the task bar to nothing, then make it a single line big again, and then the pesky new window automatically gets moved down!
We're arguing two things. I'm saying that having to follow the german law, if in germany is not stupid. A more general look at it.
Your saying the law itself is stupid. Which isnt what I was talking about.
That's not stupid. You need to follow the law of the land.
You take your porn to singapore? Your going to get fined/jailed or whatever.
You bring your weed back from Amsterdam? Your going to get arrested in the US.
You say you mostly drive on the highways where the speed limit is 60mph and you want to drive the same on any street (including say a residential street) and the cop still gives you a ticket? Know why? Because laws and rules often have boundaries.
Seems I was right for a few years (1974-1990), but then a new case in 1990 set a standard of being able to prove the "opinion" false for there to be a libel suit.
In other words, as it applies to the case posted above, if Traffic-Power.com can prove what was said on the blog is false, then there's a libel suit there.
That of course doesn't explain WHO would be at fault.

If your going to post crap, at least make it somewhat true.
(following list copied from Wikipedia)
# Release 14 - February 1997
# AutoCAD 2000 (R15.0) - March 1999
# AutoCAD 2000i (R15.1)- July 2000
# AutoCAD 2002 (R15.6) - June 2001
# AutoCAD 2004 (R16.0) - March 2003

The file formats changed when the Release version Changed. 1999, 2003 and march of this year. And they usually change for major feature additions.
Second, Someone using 2007 can save there format all the way back to Release 12 format.
Don't forget to look into a geothermal system for your heating/cooling needs.

Nope, now I believe you missed it.
Pay your balance in full every month, after using your card.
That lets you collect intrest on your money in your bank account.

Click on the sections. They are collapsable.

I have to admit, I wrote that before reading the FAQ, and saw the error in my post. Looks intresting...

Patents last 20 years.

This is Canada, Eh.
We don't all have those 'mobile ring boxes' you talk about.

Why doesnt' that happen in the first place!
Then you wordered what you said badly. You should have said "That is a stupid law"
We're arguing two things. I'm saying that having to follow the german law, if in germany is not stupid. A more general look at it. Your saying the law itself is stupid. Which isnt what I was talking about.
If you think laws shouldn't have boundaries, then THAT's crazy.

You can say whatever you want, if it's an opinion.
You can't say "Bill Gates rapes little boys and girls"
You CAN say "I think Bill Gates might rape little boys and girls"
I think.
Unless of course 'Book' was preceeded by "Harry Potter's newest".
