MY Mistres internets are nothing like the Sunne

Here's a few more reasons why I didn't go with Adobe's stuff for video: they write bloated software and they go out of their way to make their users jump through hoops. On the installation of Reader 9, Ben at MicroPledge says: But it wasn’t just a simple, ordinary download. First Adobe told me to download a Firefox plugin. I assumed the plugin would help me read PDFs in my browser. But oh no, this was a special plugin, an Adobe Reader Download Manager (TM) - a plugin specially designed to help Firefox download Adobe’s powerful PDF viewer.
Thank you to Matija on SilentPCReview's forums for the link.

Not only has Kenzer & Co. decided to release material compatible with Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition without using the new Game System License, and it looks like Adamant Entertainment will be doing the same. Yay Copyright law! Thanks to Philip Reed and G. M. Skarka for the news and links. Mr. Skarka's blog entry is an especially good destination for readers curious about this kind of stuff. I, for one, think this is fantastic news. For example, new companies, or those that don't mind the GSL, can use the foolproof yet restrictive License and the new compatibility logo, and established companies don't have to migrate entire product-lines to the new edition if they want to dabble. It looks win-win.

This entry's title was ripped-off from this facsimile of Sonnet 130. That is all.
