I chose Doom in my browser, programed in Flash with no music, but supporting the original WASD key commands for character movement.
I'm not entirely sure how you can truly enjoy Doom without the music. Hell, I know for a fact that I at least have the infamous E1M1 background track on my MP3 player.
Seriously though... how can you apparently write about video games as a living without having ever played Doom?! This guy's probably never touched Super Mario Bros. either!
You don't think that consoles games see high level of piracy as well? It requires a lot less runaround to play pirated games on my Wii than it does to jump through the hoops of PC warez. Maybe developers should actually try making games worth playing and not over charging for them? The title mentioned in the article doesn't do much to illustrate the trends, as I've never even heard of it before.
Because he's right. The best thing a university education is going to get you is a mundane, predictable life. The worst you'll end up with is no job and a ton of debt. Most people are fine with those options and seem to seek them out, but to say that universities are need for real education is little more than brainwashed sentiments echoing about. You don't go to college to learn, you go there for a little piece of paper that substantiates your claims of knowledge in a field. No one learns, they just go through the motions.
Perhaps the problem isn't a lack of access to cheap crops? Perhaps the problem is an overpopulated species? Perhaps the problem is that most humans don't know how to grow their own food, and don't care anyway?
Perhaps there's been an increase in multimedia design students, for which I understand a Mac is best.
As a professional graphic designer and hobbyist film director, I've never understood the notion that Macs are better at such projects. Equal? Perhaps in a lot of ways. Inherently better all around? Not a chance. Photoshop on the Mac is pretty laughable, if nothing else.
I understand completely. I live in a rural area myself. I have a old Chevy truck sitting out behind the house. V8, four-wheel-drive. It pulls greats, but is lucky to get any more than 15-20mpg. But you know what? It's nice to be able to haul my own gravel when the driveway gets washes out every couple years. And it gets me to work for a month or two every winter when the roads are covered in snow.
Outside of those specialized circumstances however, I tend to stick with much smaller vehicles. I actually use a 1972 Super Beetle as my daily driver. Those Cobalts are pretty nice though, I had a Cavalier for years. They're a little too complicated for me to work on myself in the driveway though.;)

Thousands upon thousands of crimes go unsolved every day. If you do it correctly, no one ever even thinks to investigate it in the first place. The number of crimes that are solved are definitely in the minority, and usually only come about byway of accident. Shows like CSI are little more than propaganda, fooling the masses into believing that the police will find you no matter what.
Yes, actually I do. At least here in America, getting one's driving license is too easy. Fill in a few test answers and drive through a few cones. The initial education and test should be far more difficult, and you should be re-tested every few years.
Of course, you also have to wonder about America's obsession with automatic transmissions and needlessly large vehicles.
So if you're going to try and claim that Assange and Wikileaks don't care about people's safety that might be directly impacted by release of these documents, then you MUST also claim the same of the Government.
I don't think anyone is dumb enough to try to argue that the government cares (about anything).
I can guarantee you that I don't have any photos of myself online. You can't even find my telephone number, much less more sensitive information. That's why I have several levels of aliases that I use for different things, and never put my real information in unless making a large purchase online.
You [i]definitely[/i] want insurance in an apartment situation anyway. It's hard to tell what the idiots living below or beside you are doing, or when they'll burn the place down through no fault of your own.
Easy, don't go to court over it. Those thieves were never supposed to be there to begin with. You have no real motive to the outside eye. There is unlikely to be a link, especially when people that are already on parole wind up missing.
Agreed. However, that doesn't help the fellow while he's at work or on vacation.
Generally speaking, people usually set themselves up for home invasion. Don't tell people when you're going to be out of town and try not to have a routine schedule. Also, unless it's one of your two or three [b]real friends[/b], don't even let them step inside the door! Don't let the mailman peak in when you open the door. People aren't going to break into your house unless you paint yourself as a target.

Since when are people entitled to have whatever they want no matter their ability to pay - especially things that are merely entertainment?
Exactly! Especially entertainment! Entertainment has no inherent value, as it is not needed to survive. Thus it cannot command a price.

There is no value in social conditioning and student loan debt.

Down here in the hills of Ohio, we call it "briar-wired". Of course, I don't think the Kentuckians appreciate the term too much.

Exactly. I don't generally drive anything made after about 1975. :P
Old people should not be driving. Period.
That's twenty more than I recall ever seeing anywhere else!
Statistically speaking, most things taught are lies.

That may be true, but they're probably not worth the maintenance... or the smell... or the hair all over your furniture.

I don't have kids, but if I did, I wouldn't allow anyone to try and teach them lies at school.
What else is one taught at school other than lies?
