I'm well aware of the absurdities of CCTV cameras as shown in the latest information of crime-solvin' shows. But surely there are many buildings (large corporate offices?) that do have such an interconnected system?
I'm sure one or two are near traffic cameras or other CCTV cameras. It would be interesting to see if anyone tries to break into them to find these balloons...
This is also an excellent social experiment. It would be impossible to find them all by yourself, so you would have to work together... but who do you trust?
You actually get more when buying the game online.
Only if you consider convenience and social bullshit as the most important factors.
There are those oldschool values like true ownership not rental, freedom to use stuff you paid for as you please - and they are important to some people.
The problem is, soon enough you won't "own" your physical copies anymore either.
All Valve games - even the retail copies - require a Steam account and Internet access (unless you buy it for a console).
Developers are moving more and more to an "online activation before you can even play the damn game" system. Sure there will be cracks to get around this - there always will be. And the developer will release a new game update that breaks the crack, and 2 days later a new crack will be out, repeat ad infinitum.
I think the whole "people won't pay for shit" thing is grossly underestimated.
I play some Facebook apps. If I play them enough, I'll kick $5-20 to the devs because I have fun.
The real phrase is "people won't pay for shitty products or services." If your service is good, the price is good, and people know about it, then you shouldn't have a problem.
Moreover, they'd have to stop that whole "We're only gonna put a few random episodes/seasons (series) of this show" bullshit. I wouldn't pay to watch Seasons 4-7 of a show I've never seen before.
In Full Metal Panic!, Arm Slave pilots could set the "Bi-lateral angle" - essentially, it was the control sensitivity. More skilled pilots could use higher sensitivity. Why would this not be able to be used for joysticks in vehicles as well?

The disappointing thing is that I used to recommend Kaspersky to my customers. I've set up dozens of people with 3-5 Kaspersky suites... now I may have to reconsider that position.
Though, on the other hand, they make a good product, and just because the figurehead is a dumbass with some things doesn't take away from that fact.
WoW has this superficially, in that NPCs treat you different depending on your reputation, race, and faction. Some of it is just "Glad to see you here, noble $RACE $CLASS", and some of it is NPC X won't give quests to RACE Y or characters who have a standing with FACTION Z.
Maybe MMOs need to D&D it up a bit, have a CHA(risma) score or something like that... the prettier you are, the more likely some people are going to help you and the less likely some others would (i.e. a girl might be lovestruck with your elf, but the thug in the tavern doesn't wanna work with no pretty boy). It would bring up interesting opportunities for variance in game design...

If we ever capture any, we had best not let them out on bail. I'm sure they pose a flight risk.

Aside from being tremendously hilarious, this makes me wonder if it's possible to get a DUI on a horse.
Well considering what comes out of one's colon, that would certainly be a more appropriate subdomain for idle.
If that's the case, then they should also take away incentives for behaviors such as:
I could go on, but I won't.
Rather than take away incentives, have them pay higher premiums.

If the Patriot Missile System was running Windows, there would not have been a problem.
"Your missile defense system was recently updated!"
Then I would posit that the first step would be a station or stationary ship, in space, to run a "no movement" drill for the trip to Mars.
If it takes 2 years, then that ship has to last 2 years without any help unless there is an extreme emergency.
If it was that foolproof, it would be difficult for the people in power to tamper with it if they ever wanted to.
The government shouldn't be able to tell anyone what they can and can not put into their own body.
It might destroy their lives and their health, but it should be their right to destroy their lives and their health.
You must be great fun at parties.

If you didn't have guts, you would be some sort of person that is all hollow in the inside. That is the stuff of nightmares.
Can someone give me that as an analogy with bi-curious cars instead?

Bravo, good sir, bravo!
So .. who need it?
Gamers?

I actually feel kinda bad for this guy. Nearly every comment on his virus updates is "In Soviet Russia..." jokes.

It's the best equivalent I could think of. Charisma is more the innate charm one has than anything else. But yeah, you get the point.
