Then valve'll probably implement the same censorship scheme as they have in germany and the characters will explode in showers of balloons and party hats.
I've thought that myself. Also with thime travel. The earth is always moving, so if you travel in time it's highly likely that the earth will have moved to a completely different position and you'll be left floating in space or inside one of the moons of jupiter...or something.
What we need to invent is a device that keeps in you in position relative to the place you're standing.
And then there is the issue of revenue generating ads. As long as web sites don't throw pulsating, gibbering, and epileptic seizure inducing advertisements in their margins or banners, I don't have an issue with ads.
So you don't have a problem with google ads then?
The split in searches that you ask fo is kind of there already, there's Froogle for the commercial searches and regular google for the rest. I know that's not quite what you mean, but I don't think even the google algorithm can figure out which pages on the internet are pertinent to the effect of the tennis shoe market on indonesian workers.
As long as they're good who cares?
At least they're making sequels of original content that they made themselves and not re-hashing old ideas and squeezing all the life out of them. I'm looking at you, the makers of the A-Team.
I've never had a problem with steam. I've never sold a game in my life, so I don't have a problem with not being able to do that. I'm currently borrowing a copy of company of heroes off my brother just by typing in his username and password. I don't have a disc which will get scratched and broken over time and I can install my games on any computer I like without having to carry discs around.
As long as your internet connection works it's a good system.
"Now, publisher Evolved has issued a recall for that version of the game [...] and promising a replacement plan for people who had purchased it. "...and arrest for those that pirated it.
Most artists usually make a loss on a tour. This is why they usually only tour when releasing a new album - in order to promote the album - it's not to make money. Most bands make more money from merchandise than from CD sales. The majority of the money from a CD sale (about 80-90% if i remember rightly) goes to retailer.
I say "most" because there are exceptions. The exceptions are the BIG bands/artists - the ones who are big enough that all of use here would know their names.
Maybe people would still like to attend a concert for this theoretical artist of yours, but why would the artist perform? For the money? They're unlikely to make a decent profit, they might even make a loss. For the love? Hopefully.
The problem is that the music business has becaome a fully fledged, money-grabbing business where the "job" of artist is considered one that can be sustained indefinitely. This just isn't true. Yes, it is possible to make a living in the music industry, but you'll make far more money if you're not actually a musician. Or if you write TV theme tunes or music for adverts. The idea that you can pen a few tunes a make a cool million is based on a fantasy shared by millions and attained by a very small few. As a percentage of the ammount of people trying to attain it, the number of people achieving it is going steadily down.

Medium. Not rare, or well done.
And the pint. And sometimes the stone. But yeah, mainly metric.
You click either a "lock" or a "disable" button.
Someone clearly left their iBacon app running the background.
Back before it was easily available (which actually wasn't that long ago) salt was worth more than gold.
Hence the term "salary".

Opera has been free for the best part of a decade now. Before that it had an ad which you could pay to remove.

Wow! this could be as good as Red Dwarf Back to Earth! ...oh, wait, that was terrible.

Neither is brain surgery but it's still hard to get right.
