All i'm trying to say basically is if it is a coverup for microsoft it can potentialy open a bigger can of worms. A can that includes jail time on the lable.
OT, but Ripon, WI is the home of the Republican party. They also make passably decent cookies there, and Harrison Ford dropped out of Ripon College there.
The people who own the trademark did (and do, unfortunately), and OS X has failed to be approved by the Open Group, so it is not technically UNIX. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and any distribution of Linux are not approved either, so they are not technically UNIX. Of course, you're just trolling, so what the fuck does it matter to you?
OS X is not UNIX. It may be UNIX-like, but it is not UNIX. The OP claimed equality that OS X is UNIX, which is not true. Your assertion that Unix is a marketing brand (UNIX) and not a design philosophy (Unix) is, for all practical purposes, crap.
Oh, that's the kind of thing a smart designer has hammered out in requirements analysis, and the kind of thing a stupid designer will get caught in cert review people. I imagine it really only works in a military review, though, where the human subjects can be commanded to do just about anything, as long as it's reasonable. (And yes, "try to break your legs wearing the exoskeleton" is probably considered reasonable by most military cert types). I just wouldn't expect a civilian model for quite a while.
When I was in college, we used to say Gauntlet-esque phrases all the time -
Use caffeine to stay awake later! (Walking past vending machines) Cafeteria food takes 50 health! (Taco Pizza . . . again) White freshman is about to die! (Kegger)
I think the funniest thing I've ever seen him in (and this is really only because of the situation of watching two formerly big-name actors on screen) was some late night skin flick where he played the alcoholic sidekick to Marc Singer from Beastmaster. Sadly, Hamill will probably be remembered more for his voice acting than the bulk of his other work (much like Keith David).

A few years of this and the theft rate would go down remarkably -- along with the population.
Computer scientists have a name for this: "reduction to a known problem". It really only works if you've solved the problem for small populations, or if crime-fighting is NP-complete.
My experience with BtVS: Chaos Bleeds has cemented my belief that franchise video games can be made or broken by the presence of the actors originally involved - but what about when the actor is, themself, a franchise in their own right?
In my experience, rabid gamers/Hong Kong action buffs are quick to point out that virtually every fighting game based in the "real world" already has Bruce Lee and Jet Li in it. If you don't believe me - DoA and Tekken. The characters' names and looks are different enough to not force a lawsuit, but seriously - what the hell? I would much rather Jet Li was transparently involved in the creation of a character that is using his image than that he stood back and did nothing.
After working RadioShack for a summer, the StarTac had to be the best cellphone I deal with - we did fewer repairs and got better reception with the StarTac than any of the other Verizon phones I saw all summer. I'm going to miss them, and the solid-body phones/reliably-hinged phones.
For a second, I thought you meant that your car had Hit Points, which were not a reliable measure of performance. I would have to agree on the HP (both horsepower, and hit points), but if my car gets MP, rush hour traffic will become just another game.
One of my neighbors had a 200-lb buck break through a sliding glass door into their living room, stomp around for a bit (spraying arterial blood over pretty much everything), and promptly leave. They think he might have been attracted by a miniature orange tree in their house. The buck died from blood loss about 10 feet from their house. They added curtains and a bunch of distracting plants in about a week.
Moral of the story - if people want to fix the problem of things hitting glass, they'll probably need a strong incentive - like having to replace most of their carpet and furniture because it is thoroughly saturated in deer blood.
Hard enough to be interesting, easy enough that you don't have to teach them about collision detection. There is also an engine called COG which was specifically designed to for non-programmers to make games, although I don't know how far it's come since I last checked it.
My friend found the tape next to a dumpster. Nowhere on it is it designated as property of Interplay, or as promotional material for any specific game. The only reason I knew it was promotional material for a Fallout game is because the fonts and artwork are identical to those used in both Fallout games I'm familiar with.
There's been a promotional tape for (presumably) Fallout 3 called "A Vault-Dweller's Guide to Post-Nuclear Intimacy" which has been making rounds in certain circles. It was not widely announced, but the marketing had slowly begun.
I'm fairly certain it was called Unknown Artist - Track 2. That song is bad-ass.
In all seriousness, it was probably some Metallica song from the Black Album (Cliche and litigatable, I know). It made me buy the album, though - which turned out to be both good and bad.

See, they're DODgy by nature (not 'cuz they hate ya).

That has got to be the best metaphor of the day!
Are you in Green Belt Training? Because that sounds like the statement of a fellow Six Sigma'er.
Best. Comment. Evar.

No, I'm not the annoying guy from comp.unix.admin. My fight fire with fire attitude gets the better of me somtimes, is all.

You're thinking of The Firm, where mail fraud "isn't sexy, but it's got teeth".

Well, it was in Wisconsin - the sheriff tagged it, and they made sausage out of it.

Well, nobody has mentioned that you're not supposed to put steel things in the microwave yet, either.

Just the videotape - my friend had no idea where it had come from, but said it was damn cool.
