It's recommend that you check out Eternal Silence (http://www.eternal-silence.net). It's a hybrid space combat sim/FPS Source mod.
There's also two MMOs coming out specifically in this vein, Jump Gate Evolution and Black Prophecy. I've signed up for the betas on both and have my fingers crossed.
The thing is, a lot of people's salary expectations are to have a salary. I really don't think there's a lot of people turning down a $40,000/year job because they're holding out for the $60,000/year job.
The best game is Rogue Squadron for the N64. I still ge the giggles every time I shoot a stormtrooper and they scream like a little bitch. *pew* "AAAIIIIHHHHHHHH!"
I've skimmed over most of the posts in this thread and I have the feeling that this course of action is probably the only one that has a chance of getting the story poster's laptop back.
I imagine they got around 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 XP or so.

"It’s too early to determine conclusively why U.S. creativity scores are declining. One likely culprit is the number of hours kids now spend in front of the TV and playing videogames rather than engaging in creative activities.
Hey now, I got pretty creative in Counter-Strike. I creatively invented all kinds of words like donghugger and cuntwaffle.
we (the majority of us) want religion taught in school.
Thankfully, that same majority in which intellectual dishonesty and ignorance is so pervasive is also laden with apathy. And even if the majority somehow got a bill through the Congress, I think a great deal of the freethinkers in America are relatively confident that the Supreme Court would quickly strike it down as unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds.
Hrm. While I suppose the Federation's flagship probably has more important things to do, I do have to admit that a few photon torpedoes would get the well closed up pretty quickly.
what prevents a security flaw from getting fixed? $$$ What causes security flaws to be released ? $$$
Assuming that is mostly accurate, I would then postulate that microsoft protects their profits at the expense of an acceptable amount of security flaws (among a bunch of other stuff)
A new patch released by my company leaves our servers traveling at 60 Internets per second. A 0-day exploit is published. The computer crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we patch the exploit?? Take the number of unpatched systems in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of patching the exploit, we don't patch it.

Hell, they even make wrapping up a store purchase complex.
I thought mosquitoes found animals by the carbon dioxide they breath out...

P-p-p-powerbook!
Winamp was pretty shitty after 2.9x. When it got to 5.xx it got substantially less shitty IMO.
I don't think I would be comfortable without a mouse either. What am I going to throw across the room when I get stabbed in the back by a Spah?

Yeah but we also elected the people that do this shit to us.
I never thought of it that way. It's pretty win-win, isn't it?
To me, this whole situational is analogous to claiming a breach of privacy over them collecting pictures which visibly show the numbers of houses.
They collected the data, but they didn't put it out in the world, did they?
Can the weapons-grade plutonium be refined into something safer or less... weapons-grade?

Oh, but Blizzard's own forum moderators won't have THEIR names revealed, because they "cannot risk having their personal lives compromised by in-game issues".
Aren't they listed as staff somewhere on the site?
If a guy named Swordslasher is tagged as "Game Community Manager" and their corporate site lists "Jim Smith" as the Game Community Manager...
What do you do about the excess bacteria afterwards?
That's easy, you just send in oil-eating bacteria-eating bacteria.
Then after that's done, you send in oil-eating bacteria-eating bacteria-eating bacteria.

cults aren't okay.
Yeah, they'll only be okay when they have enough people following along to be called a religion instead of a cult.
