No

Why? Because this doesn't allow victims to harass their abusive partners anonymously?

spoken like a true 'tard. Is that the only reason you can see for wanting to hide your number? so that you can harass someone?

never been abused or threatened, have you? Maybe a case is made because someone wants to call a person who is abusive and you don't want them to call you back? Say, you have an abusive spouse but you have to share custody. You need to call them but don't want them calling you and abusing you? Hrm, maybe that's a good idea.

Abusive people will go along way to make others lives miserable.

Good for you junior. I lived it. sheesh. Is anyone over 20 on /. any more?

There are many commonly known ones. Some even made it into 688(I) Hunter/Killer. There were a few scenarios where you had to hunt a corridor. Pretty cool stuff.

Russians used to do what were called "Crazy Ivans." If you are running at high speed, you can't hear squat, so to check for chasers, they'd do a 180 course change and run back down their track. You can't get precise position using passive means--there is always room for error, so the chasing sub would move out of the way, quickly and often noisily telling the Russian sub it was being followed.

If the Russian didn't detect the follower, the evasion tactic was enough to make the following captain cautious.

good times, good times.

Maybe if you read two sentenced into the deck, you would have seen this little gem "The three-app rule includes applications running in the background but excludes antivirus," [emphasis mine]

while a million Ubuntu licenses running Wine where Windows apps are really needed = $0.

hahahahahahahaha. Wait let me stop laughing long enough to respond. hahahahahaha, nope can't do it. hahahahahahah

I am not affiliated with these guys, but from the faq and the site, here is what I get.

Memory in all computers is mapped to address space.

Right, but you, the programmer, don't worry about memory allocation or de-allocation in the same way. You don't do pointer math or any of that shit. The OS does it for you (which is what an OS should do). Think how Java manages memory is different than now C does. Hopefully, the OS manages memory well.

Nobody needs files? How, exactly, can I retrieve a document then? This FA is damned short on details.

Well, yes, there are "files" managed by the OS, but not directly reachable by a program. You treat a file like an object and just use it. No open, no close, no worrying about the proggie crashing and losing the unwritten data. The OS handles it.

Same with processes. It seems cool. Not sure it has legs, but seems cool indeed.

It doesn't even take into account WHAT Windows 7 installs and WHAT Ubuntu installs.

This is a very interesting point. An Unbuntu install has just about everything you need for most common desktop tasks installed and ready to roll. The time it would take to install similar software in Windows--any version--would be hours (I know, I have rebuilt my laptop a few times.)

Now it's down to how things are "inconsistent" or how it's not easy to get software in the manner of your choosing (rather than using the method provided by the OS).

I hope you are joking. Let's see, Unbuntu has two package managers? What, one is not enough? There must be two? A default install takes 4 GB of drive space? 4GB with no easy options to trim that down?

Oh, yeah, and that pesky install and dependency issues that all Linux distros suffer from.

I have been a Linux user since 1994 and they all suck on one way or another. The desktop versions of Unbuntu and Fedora have come a long, long way and the people who have worked on them should be proud of what they have accomplished. But there is still much more work to do.

here ya go

Admit it, Word can not hold text more than one chapter in one file. MS Word is simply not-good-enough for anything that is longer than 10 pages.

Bzzzzzt. Wrong, Mr Nikolag. I write for a living and I use Word since that is what is required for production, I regularly turn in 20 pages single spaced. My wife writes novels in the 85-100K word range in Word, regularly. Word handles them just fine.

Search Google for .docs and you will see hundred page files (and larger) in Word.

Sigh, until a case is made to a higher court, yes, NY State can and does tax on-line orders.

just like every other animal in the world, we teach ourselves through playing.

Right, and having to torture an NPC teaches you what? How to torture and that doing so is acceptable?

The intent may, and I am making a big assumption here, may be trying to teach the "horrors of torture", but some will take it as a lesson plan for acceptable behavior. Whoever did this in WoW didn't think it through and is irresponsible.

Falcon4 had some pretty decent squad commands. you could point them at a target, split your group in a 4 ship arrangement (two to cover, two for ground runs, then swap), and stuff like that. they didn't always listen, but they ususally did.

I like the entire HL franchise, but I wish in HL2 you could give commands to squads like "go attack this" or "wait till a shot is fired and then go" so you could do some tactics. Even having them sometimes freak out and not listen would add to the game.
