Noone made such a statement.

Well.. Now it's too late, huh? To take your metaphor: There is no ball.

You are right, of course. Anyway, just to be picky for fun: The set of all manpages is a subset of the set of all manuals. Therefore, "Read the f**king manual" may be traditionally right, but "read the f**king manpage" still does the job if there's a manpage and other manual stuf...

Edit: Oops, mixed up stuff.

The GNU Project Debugger. "I feel lucky" with Google gave me that with the keyword "gdb".
gdb won't help you if you don't know what it does, so rtfm (that is "read the f**king manpage", a very common acronym that wasn't chosen to insult you).

Chill, it takes a few hours, maybe even a few days in the worst case. The process of registering is not fully automated, David has to get his hands on it. But don't panic, I registered and it took 8 hours.

Well, you can't keep such guys from re-registering. When you block the IP, they get a new one. When you block the username, the get a new one. When you block the mail address, they get a new one.

I'd hire an assassin to stop you. A good one.

I hope my words won't severely impress you anyway because your style is unique. That's worth a lot, maybe even more than technical aspects. Besides, in poetry, noone is right.

Can anyone tell me what they think of my poetry? Oh man, you asked for it ;) Actually, I think it's pretty average. I've got a problem with your metrum and the fact that it's always rhyming in the same pattern. I think the technical level of your poetry would be way higher if you wouldn't stick to ...

He had the coolest screenshots, no doubt about that. I hope he comes back as well.

He went pretty over the top Of course, but maybe he's got a real reason for totally freaking out about that. So it's understandable under certain circumstances. I think he was right with the point he tried to make: It's a disgusting fantasy. But as long as it's just a thought, there's no need to ye...

Alpha testing in games development should be made by the programmers only imho.

Beta testing - I'm in

And I'd love to do other things for Lugaru 2. Are there any things to do?

How about a CVS/Subversion login? (Kidding here)
