If every once in a while they decide they were wrong and start criticizing the product _while the add is running next the criticism_, you have a pretty good clue. If you actually read the post that was linked, you'll see that's what happened with penny arcade and PoP2.
When you add an application, you are presented with a prompt including:
Let this application:
[_] Know who I am and access my information
Granting access to information is required to add applications. If you are not willing to grant access to your information, do not add ths application.
Who knows what the author of this application is going to do with the information.
But no doubt you've already read this for every application you have added.
If you really care, you put magnetic switches on the equipment. Normally off. When you press the "on" button, it energizes a relay that sends power to the switched device. The relay only stays in that position while there is mains power. When you press the "off" button, that current is interrupted and the relay opens. When the mains lose power, the current holding the relay closed is interrupted and the relay opens. So that when power is restored, the device is off.
If a page doesn't render properly I temporarily allow script on that page (just two mouse clicks). Err, so all a site has to do to make sure they get to run their javascript on your computer is to make the page render improperly without it? Sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose of noscript to me.
Considering I've noticed that in almost every Mac application I've used (not that many, I'll admit), I think that's probably a property of the Mac's window manager. I know that it doesn't behave like that on my machine (in xfce, set to "click to focus").

Gimp's UI makes more sense on a XWindows system where you can set the individual sections of the UI to stay on top. For instance, I can keep the image full-screen on one monitor while using the editing tools on a second monitor. I'd like to see a single-window app like Photoshop do that! Photoshop does this pretty well on my Mac:) Photoshop isn't a single-window app on Mac.

If I understand what you are saying, then it is already possible (minus managing maximized windows). In fact, I submitted a description of my setup, which is very similar, here.
One thing to add, after I submitted that I discovered the window hint setting in the preferences (file -> preferences -> window management). If you set the main dock and the other docks to "utility" then they will usually be kept above the images and will not appear in the taskbar. (I have only tried this in xfce, I don't know if it works in windows. I'd be interested in knowing, though, so please reply if you test it)
Hahahaha if your "playing style" amounts to floating off the edge waiting for the computer to suicide himself, and not abusing the AI in such a way is "nerfing" to you, then you're not really the kind of player I would have been talking to in the first place T_T. It's not at all how you'd fight against an actual person to begin with. If they are dumb enough to fall for something repeatedly I would sure as hell do it over and over until it gets into their brain not to do that. The failure of the AI to learn from mistakes is the very reason they do not make good opponents.
Have you ever even played SSBM because if you have it's pretty shameful to say what you said. Of course I have, I just don't play against the AI for the above reason. It's not fun to win by cheesing something over and over, and it's not fun to consciously stop myself from doing so just because the AI is deficient.
What I want is how the *Mac* version of Photoshop works, with floating toolbars, and documents don't need to exist atop a gray background window that cover up the desktop. But, perhaps this is impossible under Windows and maybe Linux as well, which are task-based (whereas the Mac interface is application-based). I don't know about GIMP 2.2, but I know in the release candidates for 2.4 you can set the toolbars and docks as utility windows in the preferences and they act like that. A big reason it's off by default is probably that some window managers supposedly have horrible behaviour with utility windows.
People with good ideas, who know what they want and who have the will to drive a team to accomplish that goal from start to finish. The other solution, of course, is to work on smaller ideas so that it takes fewer people less time to complete. Some of my favourite games could be (or where) written by a single person in some form, for example Geometry Wars or rRootage.
but when people make their work freely available you simply cannot put it in your executable and relicense the whole thing. Why not? The MIT license (generally considered to be one of the permissive licenses) for one specifically permits sublicensing. If the original author did not want you to relicense his software he shouldn't have specifically allowed it in the license, it's as simple as that.
Isn't it sad that people spend so much time making games to make us scared, shameful, and depressed, instead of using the genre to make us self-confident, satisfied, and happy?
No, you don't. You don't have 800 items on your taskbar, you don't have 800 different items clogging your alt-tab hotswitch menu, you don't have multiple copies of the same basic OS menu, you don't have 800 different places for the focus to be. And most of all -- most insanely! -- you don't switch to another application, then switch back to the original app only to find that each window has to be brought to the foreground individually. Because after all, they are not windows of a single application, they're 800 separate applications!
Why would you need all 800 windows at a time? If I were using 800 windows at a time I wouldn't want them all in the foreground, blocking out any other program I have open. One of the great things about the GIMP interface is that you can raise only a couple of windows at a time and have room for both them and whatever other program you are using. With photoshop, you pretty much have to commit the entire screen to it to use it at all. Especially since it seems that on OSX the toolbars disappear when it doesn't have focus (wtf?).
Besides, if you enable the "Toolbox and other docks are transient to the main image window" option the toolbox and docks should raise on their own when you raise the image window. About the taskbar, Windows isn't so deficient that it won't let you do automatic task grouping.
However, the real issue is: should a software license control what you can do with the hardware?
If the hardware affects the freedom with which you can use the software, and the software license is designed to protect the freedom of the software, then IMHO yes, it should control this. The GPL is just following its goals, I'm not sure why everyone erects this invisible barrier between the software and the hardware.

I don't think the idea is to use these pens to write twice as fast O_O.
Have you truly never used both hands at once for a task?
Except that that isn't a trackball, in that it doesn't actually move. It's more like a joystick in that it senses forces, and not positions.

You are evidently misinformed. Go read the Canadian Copyright Act, these exemptions only apply to music, not to any other form of digital media.
Of course, this is really dumb if you ask me. >_>
Yeah, or you could just turn them off.

So you have to nerf your playing style to make it hard? I think you miss the point.
Your last base are belong to us!
You evidently meant i < BASE_COUNT or i <= MAX_BASE.

But then I decided to check out the wxWidgets web site, and it looks like it uses gtk on linux, so go wxWidgets!
Only problem is that I don't see any C bindings for it anywhere. . . =(
