In this case, the title is used to appeal to fans of previous games in the series regardless of any real connection between them. A lot of gamers would trust the Prince of Persia name rather than take a risk on an untested title - even if it were the same game.

If you have a brain, and an IQ of at least, say 115 or so, you have no excuse. Maybe your time is worthless, but I actually have things that I have to do. Learning to code requires time that I (and I'm sure many others) just don't have.
I *liked* Prodigy! Mad Maze, the TI-85 programming board, the Metheglyn Writers' Society... (If anyone by any freak chance recognizes that last one, I would be very surprised).
Emphasis mine, words yours:
Road Runner just went to 8 up 0.5 down. That's not a typo. So the way to cover your stupidity is by lashing out at someone else?
Why eliminate the singing portion? This has the potential to be the most impressive part of the show. The person voted off gets jettisoned out of the airlock to ensure the world (or solar system in this case) doesn't get another Clay Aiken.
I'm sorry, but could you possibly explain how it's *not* ATI's fault that they provide drivers that don't work well? They may work well enough for some, but it *is* their drivers at fault.
Yes, there *are* legitimate uses for p2p. I find it funny that you're willfully ignoring the fact that a much larger majority consists of material that does infringe on copyrights. The fact that there are legitimate uses doesn't mean there are no illegitimate uses.
PS - fixed the title, that was bothering me to no end.
Here's a question for you: Do you by any chance remember the Arcade Explorers series of books? I owned a CoCo 2, then it died, and of course, that's when I found those books (which were choose your own adventure style applied to computer games) so I never actually got a chance to type in the thousands of lines of code. Apparently they were halfway decent, but I can't say for sure.
The two biggest issues I see with Ubuntu working perfectly for the average user right now are things that aren't really under the control of any member of the Ubuntu or Linux teams: media that requires a license to play and video drivers. This is an area where Dell could prove they're serious about Linux. How much would the per-user cost of licensing be? Their Ubuntu laptops are already cheaper than equivalent Vista models -- much to my surprise -- so charging a few dollars to the end user for the legal right to use the codecs which would then come preinstalled might not be a bad idea. Sure, anyone can download the codecs for free, but to have them preconfigured for out-of-the-box playing of any (supported) media? It could make Ubuntu an even more attractive alternative, or at least remove one of the major barriers to using it.
It would appear I've spoken a little prematurely, so I apologize. ReactOS has made some insane strides recently. Looks like I should do a little research before running my mouth, eh?
How about VirtualBox + ReactOS ? I'm just guessing here, but he probably wants his software to actually work. Nothing against the ReactOS team at all, but it has a long way to go before it catches up to WINE, let alone Windows. I do hope it gets there. And when it does, I hope it's feature-complete. (That's feature, not "feature" complete.)
I currently use VBox + XP in seamless mode to run software required for one of my classes because it will not run in any other environment I've tried. Maybe someday.

You could also check out Emesene. It's fairly new to the scene, but looks promising.
I stand corrected. This is what I get for not refreshing before posting.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this already.

The RIAA is in charge of suing people that pirate TV shows now? They really are branching out, aren't they?

NTCA38A... Sad that I remember that.
That's actually a fairly apt analogy - the Stones are one of those bands that people either love or hate, regardless of the band's longevity.
So thank you. Thank you for the first good analogy Slashdot has ever seen.
Err... Isn't thinking of the children what got this whole thread started to begin with? Perhaps that's not such a good idea, eh?
In America we have a phrase: Indian giver (one who gives away something then tried to take it back).
I believe the term you're looking for is Native American Regifter.It's Sturgeon's Law or Sturgeon's Revelation.

Nexuiz is excellent, but I would also like to recommend Alien Arena 2007
You realize that it's been years now, right?
Like... one. That's a lot of months!*cough*
