You obviously don't know anything about In-N-Out Burger, not their food ingredients nor their pay scale. You might consider not commenting on things you're completely clueless about.

I'm not American and have never heard of In-N-Out but I can tell one thing: they've got a good social media marketing team.

Not one even close to me.

Have to nit-pick a few things: Prince of Persia was published by Br0derbund (ref 1) and The Secret of Monkey Island by LucasArts (ref 2), hardly any different than the current crop of game publishers such as EA, etc. Sierra Online was another of the great publishers of their day (before they were bought and turned into what we despise, but that's what happens when the original owners sell out), but then they started from the ground up as developers - and I think that's the key to "getting it."

Developers really do have a choice, though. In the old days it was publishing under the Shareware method or fronting money yourself to get into game shops (yeah right). Today, it's the do-it-yourself model that the 2D Boy folks who made World of Goo used thanks to the internet and Paypal. Oh, and it's even better than that, because they can publish independently for PC/Mac/Linux and then try their hand at publishing via Nintendo WiiWare at the same time. There is minimal risk other than hard work with no profit.

The folks that always bought the published box titles will continue to do so. The folks who went the Shareware method have found OSS and won't drift to the non-free side often (myself, I wait 2-3 years to get a Wii title for $15-20).

I, like you, despise WalMart. As a small business owner, I get it, but as a person trying to keep expenses down, I still go to McDonald's/Burger King and partake of the dollar menu. When we "splurge" it is going to In-n-Out Burger (privately owned burger chain in California who treats employees good and just does it right). I actually would go to In-n-Out more and pay double for the burger if I wasn't feeding a family of 6 while on the go to football games and such and they were closer and not 40 minutes out of the way from home/games.

But I do think really hard before shopping at WalMart, and usually it comes down to not being able to find what I want somewhere else, and not being willing to drive all over town to 2-3 stores to make 4-5 purchases. If I can, I go to WinCo, who again, treats their employees right (interesting how they can be profitable and have an Employee Pension Plan with a Foods Employee Stock Ownership Trust - try that, WalMart).

But that's just it, I make conscious decisions to prefer companies that are doing the right thing over companies that don't. The problem is that most American's do not do this, and they "vote" with their dollars the wrong way. If people really cared about people (cared about the employees of WalMart, for instance), we could change WalMart in less than a month with a boycott demanding they offer real health care plans, refuse to allow (let alone promote) their employees to be on government assistance by paying a real wage, give all workers who want to work 40 hours those hours. One month of a well-organized protest and people helping people coming to WalMart to understand why WalMart in its present form is bad and where they can shop for nearly as cheap, but without the economic hurt to their communities, and things could be turned around.

Don't forget all the hormones and junk put into American food. And the stuff fed to poultry and cattle to make them grow faster and bigger. Then Americans ingest that hormone enhanced poultry and beef. That can't be good either.

I'm blaming the crappy food in America. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I have proven this (at leas to myself) when I went out of the country for a week and came back 10lbs lighter. I ate alot there and drank the local soda's, drank the local beer's, and ate plenty of the local food. Could it have been all the walking I did? I doubt it. Most the food I ate there was grown locally on a farm and grown without all the hormones and crap.

I have to admit. In 'n Out burgers are sinfully delicious. http://www.in-n-out.com/ And I can't for get the "heart attack in a box" Original Tommy burgers. http://www.originaltommys.com/ MMMMmmmmmmmm

and yea, I know that image is a joke, because if they sold that burger, I'd have ordered one... the double-double is plenty...

According to the nutritional info, a cheeseburger has 480 calories and 27 grams of fat, while a double-double has 670 and 41, respectively. That means this monstrosity weighs in at 4090 calories and 293g fat!

Personally I want to see before and after photos of the proud owner (renter?).

debian: stale, week-past-expiration date bread that won't hurt you, and some rather tasteless but nurishing year-old jerky to put on it.

Imagine if McDonalds had patented the "drive-thru" method of selling.
