Damn near everyone who played a FPS back in age of dialup knows how to lead a shot to compensate for lag. The only problem is unlearning that when you got broadband.
Anyone who's a decent human being IMO doesn't give a shit what other people think about their sexual orientation. I'd stand up for anyone who's getting the shit beat outta them.
I remember stuff like 7deadly sims (a The Sims modding site) back in the day for The Sims 1... there was stuff that was crappy, but there was a ton of stuff that was as good as or better than the content in the game.
I never understood the relevance of the cedilha. Doesn't it basically make the "s" sound? Seems kinda redundant to me. There might be a nuance that I am not picking up on, but I live in a Brazilian/Portuguese neighborhood and I've yet to get a good explanation.
I was seriously pissed when they talked about a "revolution in transportaton" and it was this pogo stick with wheels on it. Where's my jetpacks or flying cars, goddammit.
They did this on The Real Hustle: switched a keyboard in an office with an identical keyboard that had a keylogging chip added in. It was quite interesting.
"Recoup your costs" can be a fine line, though. Do you add up the time you've spent on it (man hours), or just the associated fees?
If you're just going to recoup your fees cost, I imagine that it wouldn't take terribly long. If you're going to recoup the cost of your time, you should estimate the time you've spent, come up with a fair cost per hour (industry median or average for game programming?), and track it via your website.
Milestones tied with price reductions would be nice as well. For instance, once you've recouped 50% of your cost, reduce the price to, say, $0.99, and then when you've recouped 100% reduce the price to $0.
The most disturbing thing of all is that if the aliens did show up, the first thing many Slashdotters would do is come back to your comment and change the moderation so it appears as "Insightful".

I only work 8 hours a day. Maybe I should try to get more overtime?
Wow, I didn't know that chicken guy had his own college!
No wonder they know so much about grilling!
Exactly! I used to waste 6 hours a day watching television. Instead, I now waste 10 hours a day on the Internet, and it's done wonders for my life!
So you're telling me that this might not be legally binding?
The point is there's a ton of people out there who still don't use Windows Update.
Like monkeys, we do what we must because we can.
FTFY.

Doesn't IE6 come preinstalled with versions of Windows XP? I'd imagine the backlash against Vista is part of this phenomenon.
I'm the same way with a lotta stuff. Even though I had Cartographer in WoW, I had to open up all those zones completely.
In Team Fortress Classic, there was that whole skills community... maps based around conc, rocket, pipe-jumping etc. I miss stuff like that.
It's very easy. You go into an electronics store in any big city and ask, "Hey, do you guys jailbreak iPhones?".
Every time I hear the "Free as in beer" statement, I want to make a microbrew.
"FOSSter's - it's open source, for beer!
It wouldn't be hard to find 20 twits in the Marines.

Who cares if someone thinks you're gay?

No no, Windows XP Service Pack 4 (codenamed Vista) isn't that good. Stick with XP Service Pack 3.
though you still need the disc
No, no you don't. Not as long as you know what you're doing.

Hey, that was my nickname in high school!
Maybe it's going to be a pop-up book? Pull the slider, see the alt text?

It'd have to be a machine that go could pretty far back. Way back, even.
It means going backwards, or turning something around.

Agreed. Recoup your costs.
