Considering most/.ers don't even know 100 women much less 100 young and beautiful maiden types that's going to be a pretty hard quota to fill. well, just do your best and pad out the rest of the numbers with civil liberties. That's seems to have appeased him in the past.
Of course if people start bringing politics into the game creation equation then this will also be a hindrance to creativity. You just gave me an awesome idea! imagine this: Sim Politics.
You could work your way up from mayor of your town to president of the world. You could choose which bribes to accept, who to lie to, and all the other fun things that come along with being a politician. Tell me that game wouldn't kick ass if it was done right.
Books are the same as movies, music, videogames, comics, etc. they are all MEDIUMS. They are worth no more than what is put into them. On that note,to claim that books are more sophisticated or developed, etc is a bit of an unfair fight. Books and music have been around for centuries and centuries. Does it surprise you that they have diversified themselves more than comics and videogames?
Plus, I'd say that in the case of videogames there are real limits on what can be produced, as in hardware, input devices, etc. Books are only confined by imagination and perhaps language.
Give videogames a few centuries or even a few more decades, still a faction of the amount of time that books have been around then let's see how inspiring they can be.
"maybe you and i aren't as affected by it because we actually read" I'll assume your friend was implying "quality literature" in his statement. Ok, enough ranting, back to my Tolkien or Galdós.
Father: Come on medicine cabinet! I need my insulin!
Automated medicine cabinet: The serial number on your refrigerator seems to be invalid. Please call 1-800-chinasoft for assistence.
Father: Alright but hurry up I have to get to work.
Phone: It appears your telephone service provider is not supported. Can I interest you in signing up for MSNfone?
Father: I knew I should have installed linux but I just couldn't find those drivers for my countertop and showercurtain .
I would wager that many people think it's just an inferior OS that can't run what they want. In my experience working tech support at my university, a lot of people don't think that macs can run what they need. They have this concept that all of the good programs run on windows and people just don't use other OSs to do the stuff that they do on windows. Yes, I know I'm talking about macs instead of linux but if people have such doubt in macs, it doesn't take much to see how these same people would view linux (which most haven't even heard of). Mind you this is at a university so I was dealing with a young crowd which is commonly thought of to be more tech savy. To me it seems like these kinds of misconceptions are the biggest problem for linux
But were would you draw the line? A few comments up has the statement 'fuck Jezus' in it. An atheïst may not be offended (and may even approve) while a highly religious person may feel highly insulted. On a similar note, I think it is very, very difficult to have an objective ruling on wether or not something is important. *WHOOSH*

I think it has to do with load time at that point. I don't think the sites want people to have to wait that long for the pages to load. Perhaps I'm biased in this viewpoint because I have poor internet right now (sub-dialup durng the day)
So if you are stuck on Cable, like me, On behalf of everyone who is stuck on dialup without the option of dsl or cable I would just like to say I hope your cable wraps around your throat and chokes the life out of you. have a nice day:) disclaimer: this post was made out of jest. Any offense taken from it will be ignored.
I know what could possibly go wrong, some jackass tags every story with that, thus removing all meaning from it so when the mad scientists put the brain of Hilter into a great white shark no one even thinks of the possible consequences.
If your general prowess with humor is a good representation of most Indians then I shudder at the thought of the memes that would arise from slashdot.IN
