We stopped working with Symantec products for a long time now.
I remember a huge problem with BackupExec, I think it was back in 2010, and it took three weeks to get a support from an engineer who did not even manage to figure out the cause of the issue.
And when a friend or someone of my family buys a new laptop, and I take care of the initial configuration, Symantec is on my blacklist.

Handle it by finding a new job. If they can't trust the coders, who can they trust.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Fortunately (for me  ) my last adventure with Symantec was about 10 years ago when it was common for it to lock and scan files frequently... for example during compilation resulting in constant failing builds.
Fortunately we get permission back then to exclude source folders from "protection" 
Looking at your story nothing really changed in their "development friendly" practices.

A beeholder might have a sting in the eye. I don't think that's gonna be a pretty sight though.

If the eye is black/blue, then it wasn't.
--edit
Added another color to prevent misinterpretation.

No. Once in a while I still play this game[^] in DOS Box, but the graphics have long become obsolete.

cRPGs quite bored me, if they are action RPGs as The Elder Scrolls or the new Fallout franchise then I like them a lot, otherwise I prefer the pen and paper version - there is much more variability and you can do almost anything... pity that my group plays less than 5 times per year

I like how sometimes the party is overconcerned for several minutes and the game doesn't go on because we're too undecided... and the master helps us with the dreaded sentence: roll for initiative.

At least GOG gives you value for your money

Reading the title of the post immediately below this, I began to wonder.
So here's what I was wondering, what is the correct syntax?
CPeon ?
C-Pee on ?
Or what?
(I'm just drinking my first coffee - maybe this was a mistake)

Had I prior knowledge that anyone would take this thread in this direction I'd have down-voted myself.

I was more annoyed by the failure to use string.Empty in his sig.
|
|
|
|
|
Or should that have been a String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace()?
