On reflection, I suppose one has to shoot for the moon every now and then. It's still no excuse for being reckless and only doing whatever suits their interests.
I really hope that if TD-DVDs catch on, we don't have the stupid situation now where folks refer to the discs themselves and the common codec used for commercial movies with the same terms.
(Can you tell that I'd prefer 'Some Mega High Quality MP4-or-something Files on a DVD/HDDVD/BluRay' rather than this 'You can fit so many minutes of movie on a disc! Yes, it's true!' baloney?)
Hi, Mr. Corsec, this is your next-door neighbour. I'll be out of the country on business for a couple of weeks starting Feb 12th. Would you be a pal and drop off my Christmas holiday snaps at the photo-blah for me?
I'm afraid I got bored waiting for a reasonably priced ePaper doohicky, and went for a much cheaper (slightly used) Tablet PC instead. It can open every file, has built-in wireless, tons of internal storage, good battery life, easy to view screen, doesn't have a ridiculously feature-free OS* or software that refuses to open files due to obscure file-flags, doesn't suffer from terrible software vendor lock-in and it also plays music and movies to boot. Cooler still, it's also a decent computer.
* Ahh! But does it run Linux? Yes. Yes it does. It's dual-boot Xubuntu and XP.:)
You'll be able to show the folks what a decent UI looks like, even if it isn't 'the latest thing'.
There's lots of similarity between Flash 5 and Flash MX Studio thingy-doo, just make sure to focus on concepts of the Flash engine (Symbols, the Stage, the Timeline) instead of saying stuff like 'Click this specific button to do something'.

The last time I gave a demo, I saw this coming and took measures against it.
That SSID sounds disgusting.
They'd better come up with some very distinct symbol for this, else my USB 3 cables are all going to be mixed up with my other USB cables.

Indeed. You can find a two-player VS. CPU version of this game on the Amiga as part of 'Serious Solitaire'. (They call it 'Patience Race', I think.)
This is an outrage! Tell the King! Tell the Queen!
Let me get this straight... Rushing for diamonds? That's no way to win hearts and minds. That takes patience.
In fact, if they carry on like this, some hot-headed ./er is gonna club them to death with a spade.
I really hope that a court loss is on the cards for them. And if they whine, I say 'Deal with it'.
Gates could do all kinds of things at the CES... this really ain't any kind of news.
Why is it that any attack against anything is always described as 'cowardly'? I don't get that at all.
Not that it's any of my business (being English an' all), but I wouldn't trust a candidate who began a pledge with 'When I am President...'.

Isn't the system entitled to the sweat of your brow?
Couldn't you just license your work under CC-*, and then license out commercial licenses anyway, given that you're the copyright holder?
Yep, NASDAQ is the largest stock on the MSFT exchange.
You know somebody who's anticipating Home?!
Mercernaries: Playground of Destruction (XBOX) and Kurushi Final (PSone).!
Did the article really have to be twelve seperate ruddy pages?
tmp;dr;, so to speak.

Every level in SMW had its own unique style?
S'news to me.
Absolutely. After a certain threshold, it becomes 'hijinx', and then 'tomfoolery'.
Your friend hasn't tried anything at all? Poor chap. :(
ACME?
Gene sample accepted and cloned. Transmogrification in progress.
Have you ever met Sandy Frank?
Arkanoid with a continual level would be the Amiga classic Poing.
(Bonus points if you were about to reply that Poing has distinct levels after you've escaped from a horizontal set of ten distinct 'rooms')
