Yeah, seriously I did.
I am pretty sure the Express versions are now, but I don't think they were always "free". Unless you mean "free" as in compiling the IDE from source yourself, in which case it is not!
Hmm I dunno if this is true. I tried to install Visual C# Express on wine/Kubuntu 9.04 and the installer fails with a missing module error or some dumb thing.
Has anyone been successful in installing Visual Studio under wine? I'd actually really like that!
It really depends on that person's specific circumstance. If a person plays excessively and flunks out of school, loses their job, and/or develops health problems -- it still doesn't answer the question of WHY do they do it? That question needs to be asked whether its a WoW addiction or alcoholism.
I'm not a very social person in the first place. Social anxiety, I guess. FWIW, I don't consider posting on slashdot to be the same thing -- I don't have to look you in the eye or talk to you live
My main WoW character has something like 65 days of play time logged in the last 2 years. That works out to about 2 hours a day. I know people who watch more TV than that, but I digress. If I didn't play WoW, I'd be doing something else alone, like hacking perl or C# code, like I did before I discovered WoW. I'm not trying to justify my behavior, but WoW or perl or whatever is not the cause of issue, only a symptom.
But hey, I am gainfully employed and my behavior doesn't negatively impact anyone else, so everything's cool right?
at best buy a couple weeks ago... too bad the box was supposed to contain a Nvidia 260... s3, 3dfx, all kinds of old ass graphics boards in the box.. but no 260...
Cake rocks, and that's no lie. XD
Eh, I am pretty sure its just the same export to PDF functionality that OO.org has had for years. FWIW, I was trying to do just this with Office 2007 vanilla the other day, and was pleasantly surprised to see that though it doesn't export out of the box, a quick add-in download supplied the functionality and it worked like a charm. I believe they also had an ODF add-in as well. I am not sure how long this has been supported, but it looks to me like the service pack just rolls in some of these add-ins into the base installation. Nice to see this from MS, but as I said, its not exactly earth-shattering since OO.org has done this for quite a while
With all the fancy scientists in the world, why can't they just once build a nuclear balm?
