Format cannot create any format save FAT and NTFS, so it is irrelevant. Partitions deleted by fdisk need no separate delete command, so delete is also irrelevant.
By the way, has Microsoft fixed their dreadful fdisk? The last time I used their fdisk instead of the one from a Linux install CD, it still checked the whole drive every single time you did anything - so certain operations checked the disk about three times in total.
Tell that to all the creationists who were all too ready to believe that, after three months of constant arguing, I actually converted and accepted their arguments.
Then again, creationists will obviously believe anything, so I guess it doesn't really count.
Actually, the only MMORPG I play has no subscription either - Guild Wars. It is the only kind I can afford and the only kind I'm willing to play.
If you're charging me for the privilege of viewing ads, sod off; I get quite pissed off just when I go to the cinema, pay the ticket and am forced to sit through almost half an hour of commercials. (OK, so maybe it just feels that long.) Anyway, a game that is serving me ads should damn well be totally free of charge just because of the annoyance factor. I don't respond (positively) to ads anyway.
Well, for one, why not make some kind of a control glove for that hand?
Not as big and clumsy as the VR ones, but a simple sensor in the middle of the palm that registers contact with each finger. (I presume everyone can touch the middle of the palm with each finger, although I've been wrong before when making assumptions based on my joints.) Even better, one sensor at the middle of the palm and one sensor for each finger at the base of said finger. That gives us ten differrent commands for the passive hand, not including possible combinations of fingers, double taps etc. - maybe even limited (or not so limited) one-hand usage.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:

You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their

Actually, blue background with white text (and gray is just 'normal white', while white is 'bright white') is one of the best visibility colour schemes. The blue background rests your eyes as well.
So it may be ugly, but it works and it works well.
A little hacker box that mimics the DND spell called Knock.
This seems to be resistant to simple recording, but I'll bet there is a certain way to predict the next knocking code... unless the knocker and the door communicate in some other, parallel manner, in which case it is yet again possible to eavesdrop.
However, if each device has its own encryption key and the calculation of the next knockcode is based on that key, it may be very difficult to crack it.
BTW you just corrected a non-native speaker. On a word that is not that common, at least in my vocabulary. I generalized - 'ch' comes from Greek, so I assumed 'f' would also be 'ph'. In my native tongue, it's spelled 'kloroform'. I would have checked it if I were translating, but couldn't be bothered for a/. post.
Pray tell, how many languages besides English do you dare to speak, or even test your literacy in?
Well, there's a plan for defeating censorship... it only takes someone outside China with an IM client and a group of people willing to forward the messages.
Especially if the messages end with "... and Kwai Chang Caine, who taught his son wisdom in a Shaolin temple, forgot to forward this message. An evil force destroyed the temple. Father and son each believed the other had perished. Then Kwai Chang Caine found the message in his chat log and forwarded it to all the people on his contact list. Now they are reunited..."

Wasn't there something on User Friendly recently... about power supplies?

Well, yes...
But what if that is the actual joke?
You mean... the Big Blue Room?
Please, do consider the possibility that "rewritten" may simply mean "re-typed".

Plain and simple: I wouldn't play it at all.

What do you mean, "mistake"?
/. terms for you:
That's a business model. Let me put it into
1. View.
2. Listen.
3. Pay.
4. (Microsoft's) Profit!!!
See? No more pesky question marks in there.
Finally, we have a perfect plan!
(Unfortunately, Microsoft has probably patented it.)
OK, let me correct myself: one of the laws usually published in Murphy's Law states this. I couldn't be bothered to find the name.
Happy now?

Good one... yet it lacks style.
It should have read: In Soviet Russia...
Well, that should be settled soon enough... according to the ??AAs, we're all pirates anyway.

Everyone knows SuperBowl is a bowling competition... even us non-Americans.
IIRC, you can "add" the MP3 ripping functionality by performing the arcane operation of registry editing.
They do include it, but make it unavailable to the general public.
Yeah...
I shouldn't have jumped at you like I did, but I was a bit touchy... too many exams lately.
(At least that's over with.)
Nice to meet you & welcome to my Friends list.
Cheers!
I, for one, like the Muppet version better...
Oh, sorry.
