In the long standing tradition of auto comparisons: you wouldn't feel safe in a 35+ year old car if you drove it every day for all those years would you?
I would mention that you dug up an astoundingly horrible analogy. Most people would feel safer in a 35+ year old car that they'd driven every day than they would in a new one, simply because it hasn't failed yet... and you know they don't build them like they used to.
In fact, after taking your analogy into account I'd advise Russia not to replace their reactors, as they haven't failed yet-at least the ones that haven't failed haven't failed. The ones that did... well, they were clearly shoddy craftsmanship.
This I disagree with, management is aware of the cost cutting benefits of shipping jobs over seas, and they're slowly becoming more aware of the costs of it. However working from home won't make you more exportable if you continue to work at a level expected by your pay grade.
It may however lead to you getting offered an opportunity to quit or move overseas and keep your job for a lower salary that is proportionally higher compared to the local livable wage, as per IBM.
Well a EULA summary would just make things more complicated, either it would be just as long and explain everything the EULA did, or it would have no legal bearing and companies could put whatever they wanted in it.
I, personally, wouldn't mind being re-compensated by companies for the length of their EULAs, but that is just a feeble token gesture that customers would end up paying for anyways.
For the campaign element, at least, I'd suggest you try looking into Battle for Wesnoth, it's an RPTBS. But in general I agree, a lot of the open source games still seem driven by the idea that they are written by coders for coders. And apparently we coders don't care about graphics at all.
Close... I think a fair expansion on this example is to assume GM also allowed you to replace the gas tank for free in any gas station ever, and that their gas tank was included as a service rather than their cars being sold without a tank and consumers left to their own devices to drive the car tankless to someplace to get one...
Microsoft certainly pushes IE and other products on consumers but this lawsuit is ridiculous, the wide range of windows software makes a package manager silly [and, if implemented would only result in worse favoritism concerning whose software made the cut] and forcing your grandmother to figure out how to FTP Firefox via the command line before she can check her email is just silly.
I hate M$ as much as the next guy, but seriously Opera, don't be unreasonable, FF hasn't had any trouble breaking into the browser market, maybe you're just doing something wrong?
Nah, start them with Scheme and really scare them away from programming languages.
On a more serious note, stay away from Java, cin beats
(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))).readLine();
any day of the week.
Clearly you've not yet realized that real MUDs have evolved to this, while as our sad sad brothers, the mmorpg have been left to hang in the wind like a vestigial limb
Just make sure to keep those electric fences on; last time the berserkers got out they took out an entire tour group from Milaukee. Strangely, the group from Texas didn't have any trouble at all with the loose berserkers... It was hell on the cleaning service though
I hate to boo down anyone bad mouths the RIAA, but, this particular bit
If we really lived in a democracy, then filesharing would be legal, because more people fileshare than vote for the government. is, in my eyes, a horrible judge. The majority of society is not always on the correct morale path and, while I think in this case there is merit to the argument, it should not be thrown out as a blanket statement, as it can be used to justify some pretty horrible things.
Well considering the obvious applications of the upgrades its actually a deal, we could use these newly upgraded plans to fly troops out of iraq netting 360bil in the first year alone... its a lack of GPS driven planes thats keeping them there, right? I certainly can't think of any _other_ logical reasons...
Even a mountain cannot stand the test of time, things open and shift, in fact assuming the counters are anywhere near the waste in 10k years is pretty absured, just shove it over on haileys comet;}

I can answer this one! Yes, the only way to change your desktop background is to install linux over windows xp.

And man oh man is that marketing effective... Have you seen the numbers of new interested customers who think FF is solid as a rock?

What if they agree to use their severance to buy Vista: Ultimate Edition?
What if their severance pay was Vista: Ultimate Edition?
How could that possibly be considered overpayment?

Err, third time around you mean, of course.
Pretty much any MuD that calls itself an RPI, here are a pair which I recommend highly.

Buy the book and you'll get free complimentary book recommendations, also links to pr0n involving cans of spam...
But they have the money to do that, and occasionally they find winners
