You know, I never could get it to load on my Timex Sinclair, but then, nobody needs more than 640k of RAM, right?
Somewhere I have an old Win 1.0 copy, probably next to my old CP/M floppies and my Apple II+ (dual DD, 172k RAM (128k board used to load the floppy into RAM to speed up access 1000 times)).
We used to have fun figuring out which CP/M commands Bill stole when he "wrote" it.
I'm thinking more of the craze for LISP and other languages at the time - learned COBOL, PL/1, PL/C, FORTRAN, BASIC back then and these natural language things seem to come and go every few years.
No, it wasn't that *hard*, but it wasn't *good enough*. WC3 sorta worked because they made it about small parties of units with a hero. Starcraft is a game about massive epic battles with zillions of zerglings, and would have choked the WC3 engine to death.
I can see it now - I'll create a massive warfleet of Carriers with fighters and run into a massive group of Zerglings and.... >
According to the activist Supreme Court lawyers or (and I use the term loosely) "Justices", yes.
They claim that Corporations that are owned by sovereign wealth funds owned by China, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia can donate money to run ads for and against a candidate running for President.
Obviously, they are just as insane as the IP lawyers working for the IOC.
I live in Washington State, where the Olympics are (the mountain range and the national park). There are pizza places called Olympic here, which is a place name.
Where you cross the line is when you use it in relation to sporting events. But even then, local sports teams here - and in Greece - have prior claim, so long as they don't advertise internationally.
1. They hold an IP right to the use of Olympian, so the phrase Olympian Lindsay Vonn is a use of a trademark.
2. The name is not trademarked, as there are many people with that name, and many of them ski.
3. Lawyers hate America, so they can claim anything, and also be WRONG. For example, the activist US Supreme Court claims that Corporations are People and have the same rights as Citizens, which no sane citizen agrees with.
I imagine the feds will just take a shit on your state constitution. Same thing happened to the south in the 1800's, that war was not just about slavery. States rights to govern themselves was also an issue. Given they wanted the right to declare slavery legal for themselves.
Evidence exists today when the DEA arrests medical pot users in California all the time even though it was legalized.
I doubt it. The US Supreme Court ruled our strong state constitutional right to privacy applied for GPS monitoring, so even wiretaps would have to meet the same bar.
Only way around it would be on Federal land - where different rules apply.
Unlike some other states, we have strong protections for privacy in our state, and you can't even install a GPS tracking device on a car here without a warrant, or enable that On*Star tracking feature without written permission from the vehicle owner.
Thus, anyone tracking cell phones in our state - except in federal waterways or on a federal base or in a federal park, would still need a warrant.
And causing you to go through longer lines at airport security and not working - well, you need to slow down your life, and Microsoft is just there to help you do that.
Now, go outside, the sun is shining and you shouldn't be indoors coding...

Oh, bit shift your A2 register, you MSFT shill.
Seriously, you probably don't even know that China owns Lenova (IBM thinkpad) now.
I was hand-soldering S100 bus computers and tuning my floppy drives with a screwdriver before you were in diapers.

But only when I avoid Microsoft-centric sites and sites that try to load insecure scripts.

Cause last time I checked, we invented the web so we could get more beamtime, and this has nothing to do with getting me more beamtime.
Natural language has always been a fad - it comes and goes in cycles, or at least since the late 70s when I started.
Might as well pick up some nice laptops while I'm there ...
Oh, wait ... that's exactly what it is.
Me, I'm playing in Black & White. I'm the Noodly One.
Then you really shouldn't be going to the games ...
America the physical land mass != America the country of lawyers working for corporations owning serfs != American citizens
I meant the latter group.
I can see it now - I'll create a massive warfleet of Carriers with fighters and run into a massive group of Zerglings and .... >
Well, Norway does have cool pants.
show me a corporation on death row or serving time for robbery and I'll buy your argument ... didn't think so.
don't worry, in the end the US will have more golds - thanks to our ace snowboarding skilz
You haven't seen the news today. They time delay it.

It depends on use.

"What are they going to do, sue all of Scotland?"
They could try, but they canna take our FREEDOM!
I should point out that most people going to the Olympics, like most people who live in Greater Vancouver, use the excellent light rail system there.
Why the heck would you want to pay $50 to park a car when you can get there faster by light rail - including the ski hill - for less than $5?
I believe you meant to say +1 Canadian.
Because, let's be fair, Canada has three gold medals, neener neener, and there's nothing you can do about that mark of excellence.
Eh?

I for one welcome our new Lego World of Warcraft overlords and look forward to bashing in the lego skull of an Orc with my two-handed Lego Battleaxe.
I'm hoping for a purple drop.
I really love the IdeaPad U01 and when I switch it to Windows I
Blue Screen of Death
Frak!
Look, I'm going to be brutally frank with you - it's not for uber-geeks - it's for everyone else that just want something that works.
