The Microsoft S&M (TM) standard will mandate the declaration 'use strict' on all pages.

Oh, and I don't think Microsoft can embrace, extend, extinguish this one even if they tried, because everyone knows that IIS is a piece of shit. Apache still has 55%, but nginx is the fastest growing web server; I don't think standards can disrupt what's already a healthy ecosystem.

Don't get your hopes up; this is Ubisoft we're talking about

"[clients] to be upgraded at some point to Windows 7, Office 2010 and Outlook."

Yes, but the fine's a whopping $25, meaning AEC officials take these things very seriously.

Hmm, this certainly doesn't inspire confidence in their methodology. Right there on page 14, after the diagram with two Telecom Italia's, it reads "In early December 2009, IP Policy staff circulated to Piracy Working Group members a draft plan for engagement on ISP Responsibility issues. "

Or just wine. The 'lite' version of OrCAD bundled with Allan Hambley's textbook 'Electrical Engineering; Principles and Applications" works fine with Wine. MSDN Academic Alliance also lets Software Engineering and Computer Science students (Those most likely to be using Linux) get a free Windows license.

It's impossible to play and have a hope of finishing unless you're power gaming. None of the main classes actually seem like their made so you could play as them. Unless you already have detailed knowledge of the game, there's not much point in trying to finish it.

That said, there's a feature in the latest patch that allows you to teleport to major areas in dungeons. Don't know how you could play without it. I mean, did anyone ever manage to survive an encounter with an ancient lich or an ancient vampire or a powerful daedra lord?
