    better yet, why would someone ask the question to the group the question is about?

    Are you guys more trustable in person, or in remote? Which situation leads to a fewer number of you stealing my stuff?

    Sometimes I wonder how is it that Verizon can stay in business.

    Because people like you will continue to use their service even though you have many complaints.

    go figure. A company with a client base that refuses to switch providers can stay in business :)

    I've also heard -- and I can't verify this -- that it helps to have a notebook full of sketches, stories, game mechanics, ideas you've had in relation to games. You keep this and bring it to an interview.

    Also, Don't forget to have the local courthouse document all pages of said folder first, in case they ask to keep it for further review. They may just use it and not credit you for it.

  10. Re:Broadband killed LAN parties on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    don't forget those of us in towns out in the boondocks that can't get access to high speed internet. When I was playing SC 1, my dial-up connection was only able to achieve 26.4kbps due to the phone lines. That connection speed meant that I was banned from every battle.net session I ever played.

    LAN parties were my escape from that Hell. Sure, there were only 4 of us in the town that even played SC, but we could get together, hook up a basic router, and play LAN real fast.

    And I remember that I stopped playing after one of the patches because it no longer felt like the same game. I had to reinstall from my disk, and update only to the patch right before that one, and had to play LAN only from then on to avoid said update.

    That's an awesome idea.. Use mobile broadband which has a pretty standard 5GB monthly cap for gaming...

    Second, to bring a copyright claim at all, you first have to register your work with the Copyright Office by mailing it to them with a $35 fee. (There was some inconsistency in the answers here, but the consensus seems to be: You own the copyright on something as soon as you create it, but you can't file a copyright lawsuit until after you've registered your work. However, once you've registered, you can then go back and sue for copyright violations that took place before the registration date. If you register more than 90 days after the date of first publication, you can only sue for actual damages â" your monetary losses, or the infringer's ill-gotten gains â" for violations that took place before you registered the work. But if you register within 90 days of first publication, you can sue for statutory damages and attorney's fees, even for violations that took place before you registered.)

    you mean 3.4mbps was unbearably slow to you? Perhaps you should stop downloading pr0n, or large files through your phone. standard web pages should seem to load at the same speed with anything over 1mbps (know many web pages over 128KB?). You only have a 5GB/month limit on bandwidth when tethering.. that's.. an hour and a half of full usage.

    they could reduce their prices if they stopped selling phones also. Every day each company spends at least 10's of thousands in replacing phones that were warrantied due to bad troubleshooting (and having to repurchase the phone from the manufacturer for sending a phone for a problem not covered by warranty) or replacing with a new phone (customer complained waayy too much) or in selling the phone for $200 less to gain a 2 year contract.
