Having treated all types of addictions for more than 15 years, Orzack says there's little difference between drug use, excessive gambling and heavy game playing.
Game playing taught me much about designing and creating 3d content. Gambling taught me a lot about statistics. And drug use, well, I know that stoners are bad at gambling video games.
Are they going to use a rootkit to enforce it? That's ludicrous that anybody actually cares if this preposterous scheme actually goes through, except big resellers. No sane court of law will find me guilty of selling ps3 games to my next-door neighbor.
I liked Blitzkrieg Onslaught - I also have ATanks and Scorched3d - fun fun. I also think you should implement different land colors and being able to buy more armor/health, but I'm just a lazy complainer/feature requester;)
Have you people been blinded by the "open-source-free-software" branding on Firefox? Do you realize that NOTHING is so pure and free? This is a capitalist state, driven by capitalist whims. Google is the one funding Mozilla - not your $5 a month contributions. So, Mozilla promotes Google as much as they want, because it's just how they fund themselves.
Microsoft made a web browser. For you. To use. For free (or as free as it can be with Windows being required). Why wouldn't they have their OWN search, that's part of their OWN company, as the default? Here's the chance to increase MSN's market share, and you except them to IGNORE it?
Let's not forget, MSN search doesn't dominate, and IMHO it will never. But you can't bash Microsoft for providing their own services (let's block Microsoft from providing Notepad as the default plaintext editor!) and praise Mozilla while they're getting rich under the cover of open-source purity.
If I made my own browser (considering it), of COURSE I would leverage the power of referrals. If done right, the user and the software writer benefits, without needing banners, pop-ups, or other devilish means of supporting an open-source software. It's just the way things work.
Installing multiple OSes onto a Mac? This'll be child's play soon, and it's even more trivial to install tons of operating systems onto a generic PC. I can already install Mac OSx86 (sublega), Windows, a couple flavors of Linux, FreeBSD, etc. etc. etc. on a generic computer. Mac's funny GPT is just a little obstacle.
Personally, I use OO.o, and I will definitely try KOffice when it gets ported to kubuntu.
I just like native KDE apps better, and that's the part I hate about Linux. I have to deal with a multitude of different save boxes, fonts, colors, widgets, menus, shortcuts, EVERYTHING, when different programs use different toolkits.
It sucks that GAIM and Mozilla Thunderbird, two of my favorite apps, are GTK based. When I use them I always feel that I'm getting a lower level of usability, because everything works differently. My favorite distro only ships GNOME-based free CDs, so I can't introduce KDE to my friends. Can't we all just get along?
Rich sugar daddy my ass. You have hard-working people coding and developing for FREE, and generous citizens willing to support a NON-PROFIT. It's not their fault that your company is losing. Go develop something innovative and QUIT blaming!

Since it runs Linux and apparently I can write code for it,
if (packet.sender = "World of Warcraft") {
packet.contents('health') = "100%";
}
I'll never lose at WoW!

There goes my career...
OW! My head!
