  1. Re:Treasure hunt on Alternate Reality Gaming V2.0 · · Score: 1

    Mod me down all you like, it is still an old fashioned treasure hunt. Nothing new and nothing revolutionary.

  2. Treasure hunt on Alternate Reality Gaming V2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not really new, they were called treasure hunts before.

  3. Re:Two wrongs don't make a right on MPAA Being Sued For Allegedly Hacking Torrentspy · · Score: 1

  4. Re:Feasibility for US Market? on Company Makes Inconspicuous Secure Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Probably a moot point, I imagine the US gov wouldn't be too keen to have these available to the general public.

    What the hell does that mean ? Editors drunk ?

  6. Re:does this mean? on Real Life Cash Card Launched To Access Your Virtual Money · · Score: 1

    In Entropia, due to the "decay" of items it is more important how well you play rather than how long you play.
    With the decay of items you need to find the right mix of skill/equipment/targets or you lose money in a big way.

    Of course most new players buy a big gun which they don't have the skills to use and waste a lot of ammo (money)
    and decay (money) hunting while 9/10 shots miss.

    In theory, yes you can make money in entropia, In reality, very very few people ever make a profit.

    I have been playing entropia for about 6 months now and have deposited around 1500USD, My net worth in the game
    is probably about 500USD. Mainly because I didn't know what I was doing at first.

    Yes, traders are pretty much the only ones who "make" money.

    Have a read of entropiaforum for more info.

    And it can be a LOT of fun.

    >>Time to replace the adhesive on duct tape with this stuff!

    And a layer of carbon fibre between ? You could make spacecraft out of that stuff.

  8. Re:Without Entertainment DROIDS you'd be left with on Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    Go for it, it wouldn't bother me in the least.

    But, don't claim garage bands, Pub bands etc. Most of them hate you too.

    And hey, I'd bet that if you could measure it, masturbation would be the hottest trend with or without your insipid crap.

  20. Re:Destination Moon! For crissake!! on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Great minds think alike :) but seriously, the omitting of DM causes the list to lose all credibility with me. It is still more accurate than 99% of movies made today.

    A combination of "Rocketship Galileo" and "The man who sold the moon" was used for the screenplay, if anybody is interested. Pic of RAH and Ginny on the set

  21. Destination Moon on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Made in 1950 but still really watchable, complete with Woody Woodpecker cartoon explaining to the disbelieving backers how rockets work.
