That right there is unmistakeable proof that the relationship was doomed to fail.
If they aren't both gamers, they won't stay together. You learn to enjoy what your spouse/partner enjoys, or you can't say you accept them for who they are.
"The tech people say it's time to ditch Microsoft."
If I were a business person, and the guy running everything it took to make my business work said "you need to switch to this new system and learn a few basics" I'd definitely consider it.
If they say "OMG WTF get ridz of MS it is teh EEEEVIL" I'm going to ignore them.
If they behave like real people and not dungeon trolls, then I, (as the business person in the example) would most certainly consider it.
I imagine that they will now give you the table of contents for all these books, so that if you're really strapped for cash, you can purchase books by the chapter.
the question is will it be an e-reader download or a physical copy? and do you have the right to print copies for a class or something?
I feel obliged to point out one thing:
the QBASIC program I wrote above prints out a field of white dots on a black background.
your program, barring running in a command line terminal, does black dots on a white screen.
It always bugged me that programs could be ruined by stuff like that.
regardless, I've learned one very important thing about programming:
You learn more by breaking stuff than you could ever learn by obeying the rules.
I blame C. i understand a HELL of a lot more about computers and programming than most, and I can attrbute some of it to my first language: basic.
You see, basic is very restricted to what it can do.
You type DO X = RAND * 1000 IF X = 1 PRINT "." ELSE PRINT " " LOOP
and you get an amazing program that prints out a starry backdrop on your screen.
It takes a hel of a lot of work to do that using C, and you have to understand very difficult concepts like rendering a black background and putting dots on a random location on screen.
that above program could be written in the time it took for you to read it.
C is very complicated, and as I see it, people get intimidated. Hell, you might as well call it a barrier to entry rather than a starting point.
the guy who LOOKS like the less corrupt bastard will run, and he will be a complete and total idiot, incapable of speaking or writing properly despite graduating from a very prestigious law school in New York, and despite his status as a New York lawyer he will appear to the people as a Texas cowboy, and instead of him being the corrupt one, he'll just blindingly obey the every whim of his corrupt and evil supporters and cabinet.
Wow, sounds like something out of a Crichton novel - or the Dallas Morning News.
If a man shows little mental capacity... and he is called out... and the man continues to spout drivel until he is blue in the face...
you are allowed to insult him, just to let everyone know when to stop listening/reading. It's crude, and rude, but a socially effective way of notifying everyone of when to go read something worthwhile to regrow those lost brain cells.
there was an article on the local news not too long ago about a woman who filled out a credit card application for her preschool daughter. It was accepted, and she was sent a card.

You do realize you typed Twenty million million, right?
I don't think that's what you intended.
Knowing how well politicians word things, he will look pretty good.
Live and let die, then.
Will those games which are not compatible be re-released?
if it doesn't run bloodrayne, I ain't gonna bother.

No, I'm afraid you're wrong.
