You're describing a puzzle from the Curse of Monkey Island, aka Monkey Island 3. Ron Gilbert had no involvement there.

I'm fine with permissions. Heck, it's what I already say. Login, no, just no. Login is ambiguous to begin with, is it the action or the user identifier? Login as the process of log…

DoTT copy protection involved balancing the portable battery's chemicals. Copying a word or phrase feels off brand for a LucasArts game, that was more of a Sierra thing. Which spec…

The issue isn't the figure 50, it's the drawing pool. Thread-initial description was 50% of the market, which is ambiguous. It could refer to either the market in sales, which indi…

The point is, calling it zero-tolerance when it's not is misleading. There's a perfectly fine way to describe zero-tolerance with exceptions, and it's not even far fetched: “low to…
