Did you forget this is ./ ??? Or are you just looking for a virtual beating for sounding supportive of a patent troll on ./ ??

I agree completely, but that's nothing new...

That's because nobody can read/decipher it!

Probably Solaris, based on the price...

You mean iSuppositories...

This looks pretty good. I definitely like the hex-spaces instead of squares - it gives more of a natural feel to the borders (although it'll pose a slight problem when converting civ4 maps...). Look forward to playing the actual game...

Just like programmers' day (Sep. 13th; 12th if leap year). Add both to all calendars...

You can get food with sharp, pointy sticks....

No, they can connect. You don't need (can't have) a VPN tunnel to connect. Once connected (open access point), however, the router won't route anything past itself until the client creates the VPN tunnel.

Did the iLawyers iPoo their iPants when they saw this iApp supposedly violating their iTrademark?

Seeing that image which is a TINY fraction (perhaps too small to even be considered a fraction) of the universe makes me wonder how some people think there can't be any other life in the universe... We just can't communicate with it because of distance/delay concerns.

I think that now there is so little (excluding read-only optical media) of the "true" ROM (stuff that can never be rewritten). Now, just about all "ROM" (technically, EEPROM) can be flashed (rewritten) for the purpose of updating (or others...). So now the term "ROM" is synonymous with firmware. So, custom ROM=custom firmware. Or in the case of emulators, ROM is the image required for the emulator to ... emulate.

I dunno, my wifi has worked perfectly since 10.3... on 2 different laptops and 1 dektop... all three had different chip makers (Atheros, Intel, Broadcom).

No... it seems just about all mirrors (that I checked) are either timing out or give 403 Forbidden messages. I was able to start a download from a direct link (but it got flaky and stopped), and now I can't even start (or find a working torrent).

There's already a sudo with a GUI (in Linux w/KDE): kdesu I'm not sure about GNOME, but I would think it has something similar Honestly, I hate when M$ tries to patent trivial shit. It's like saying: "I'm going to go patent J-PB-J sandwich, because I used jelly twice!".
