I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. You seem to be under the impression that the novels are a hook to get people playing the game, when in fact I'd wager it's the other way around. There's no immediate connection to the P&P game when someone picks up a Dragonlance novel, but anyone who plays D&D likely has at least a passing familiarity with the Dragonlance setting.
I pretty much had the same experience with Hardy. Wireless wasn't working out of the box on my laptop, so after digging my way through 100+ forum posts and websites, it seemed the best solution was to use ndiswrapper with a Win98 driver. I managed to get through all of that and get to the point where I could see local wireless networks, but wasn't able to connect to them after 3-4 hours of changing settings, flashing my router, and trying different encryption options. Standby didn't work correctly either.
Honestly your average user would have given up long before I did. Even finding the non-working solution involved playing with different search terms on Google.
How is McCain acceptable? Maybe if he had become President in 2000, but not in 2008. He's done a 180 since he decided he was going to run for president again, courting the same groups and individuals he was calling reprehensible 5 years ago. Not to mention he's made absolutely zero promises to end the war in Iraq.
I wouldn't vote to convict based on that, however damning it may look, anymore than I would vote to convict of a computer crime because they were using encryption. Maybe he did kill her, I don't know, but there's some serious doubt about whether she could be hiding out in Russia or dead at the hands of the ex-boyfriend who admitted to killing nearly a dozen people.
It did fix a few issues for me, most notably being the widely-reported file copy speed problem. After installing the RC my drive-to-drive speed went from 20MB/s back up to XP levels. That was one of my top-five gripes about Vista.
You realize DDR and Guitar Hero are basically the exact same game with different interfaces right? Both games ultimately boil down
to hitting a button (with your foot or with your finger) in time with the music.
The medical establishment fears change in some ways. We still don't have computerized medical records in the US. If you become incapacitated away from home it's very likely no one will have any idea what medical conditions you may have or what you're allergic to.
Just put everything in a passworded protected archive. Hell, I bet you could even skip the password protected part, since opening every archive that comes across the wire would be prohibitively slow.
It would be *possible* that things would become more open without copyrights, but it wouldn't neccessarily happen. Companies might be come even more secretive about their source code since secrecy would be the only method of protection they have left.
If Hans Reiser is guilty, that means Nina Reiser went from dating one killer to another killer...
What are the odds of someone just happening to date two murderers?
Is virtual rape analogous to real rape? Of course not. But it may be possibly be considered harassment or cyber-stalking depending on the circumstances.

No self respecting slashdotter would ever live in a basement!

If anything OOXML is the pubic good since it sucks dick.
You don't know how those guys operate, do you? If you don't let them in they come back the next day with federal marshalls in tow.

Quick, someone mod him down before he shortens all of our lives!

Knowing the air force they're going to pay $1000 a shot for someone to put a Print Screen key on their keyboards.
He's not in jail, he's been on the cover of every Iron Maiden album ever made.
...my body's been doing that for years.
Anyone savvy enough to block ads is probably savvy enough to have their browser present its user-agent as Internet Explorer if necessary.
You're a fruit loop. You think we should let a murderer walk the streets so he can work on a filesystem?

Why SHOULDN'T police officers be involved in a criminal copyright infringement raid? Selling bootleg CDs is WAY illegal.
How do you outlaw something that's already illegal?
...now Vista can virtually suck, too.

She shouldn't have been wearing such a short skirt texture in that virtual dark alley.

But theoretical science often *does* lead to science with more practical applications.
