Although I strongly agree with the sentiment of the parent comment, there is a problem.
If you love a job as much as suggested, you will be taken advantage of by your employer unless you are lucky. It might be said that if you do get taken advantage of you should go find somewhere else to work. Easier said than done sometimes.
Employers, if you have someone that loves their job, pay them what they are worth and treat them right. They aren't going anywhere either way, but you'll sleep better. And that individual will work even harder.
In some ways you are correct. The game isn't very remarkable or innovative.
But on the other hand, people are finicky. To have kept the subscription count as high as they have for as long as they have is impressive no matter how much you want to label it as obvious and inevitable.
Simply put, Blizzard's best skill has always been to shine and polish an old idea.
How long until this "high-energy light that can pierce just about any material" can read the DNA from the blood of a dinosaur bitten by a mosquito trapped in amber?
I could feel my eyes involuntarily became wider, my lower lip protrude, my brow knit in an innocently perplexed manner
So you tried your best to look like a female character from an anime?
Even if this idea wasn't insane, the problem still lies in how the money would be distributed amongst the "music industry". I don't listen to mainstream tunes very often. I don't want my money going there.
Yes, because it would be terrible if news or science could be turned into fun. Mr. Wizard was a jerkwad.
Thankfully when I go to my job, they squeeze all of that silly, good-for-nothing fun out of the picture so I can focus on... what? oh yeah, slowly miserably suffering every last second of the day until I get old and remember fondly the simple enjoyment of fun. Yeah, let's fix science and news. And video games next!
Unless you consider Westinghouse a major brand (HA!) you'd be hard pressed to find such a price for a 1080p 42" LCD. Maybe $1,500.
If I am wrong, please offer forth some links, cause I have some shopping to do...
I responded to this article pointing out the tag of whatcouldpossiblygowrong was not really appropriate. I was modded as flamebait.
Afterwards the tag was removed, so... yeah.
Cutting edge science or not, it seems like this tag is all the rage.
Maybe some analysis should be done on/. tag fads/trends.

Can someone summarize it for me?
See why we don't RTFA?

my genes caused me to reply to your comment and call you a moron
How is that not truth? Number of accounts is number of accounts.
And I know plenty of people that still play. And some people that recently started playing.
Proceed to call me a loser for knowing these people. It's completely on topic and proves your viewpoint somehow!

*Ahem* I was completely dunk.

No particular intent behind my question...
No reason... (Nose begins to bleed)

I fear we may be seeing more of Amazon than that--and it isn't a good thing
the seeing part is good. the thing we are seeing is not.

No, what is the issue? You didn't get your time machine in the mail like everyone else? Sucks to be you.
Anyone else work/live within the first bubble (supposedly active currently)?
I am trying to find a signal but having no luck.
holy crap, did you come up with that yourself? quick, give me a link to your website so I can see more of your clever witticisms

The problem is that the subroutines of this program are not abstracted in terms that are meaningful to us.
oops, it has been so long since I've seen it; obviously that memory is fading nicely -- whew, what a relief!
nice, i was modded flamebait, but notice that the whatcouldpossiblygowrong tag has subsequently been removed
so true
If I hear "NEMO!" in a high pitched, whiny voice ever again I think I will have a seizure.
