I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but I don't have the time to check through 200 messages to check for that.
What exactly were the damages and mishaps? I can understand the gov't wanting to conceal this information. But why hold some information to the general publics face and then snatch it away before we can see or understand anymore?
No... k, look, I am not affiliated with janet reno in any manner (and i am damn happy that i'm not) nor am i in charge of any of these companies deciding. and given how i just rhetorically ass-raped about how hackers could make no more use out of these computers, i don't really feel like saying anything. but my point was simply that: most ppl nowadays wouldn't really b up to this technology, which is a shame (and i don't want any1 to start saying I'M a shame, gimme a break, I don't work in a computer firm, and i'm not staring at a screen 24//7 yada yada)
OK, I want to say this. I will probably be redacted points again because I am being offtopic. But this is a mix of an apology/statement/accusation that I feel like making, regardless of what I may lose. I am very new at this. I suck at html. I know next to nothing about how this site works (this is my FIRST day). I haven't yet figured out even how to indent what I'm writing, because it all looks like one big paragraph. And I was trying to say something before which was tangent to the talk of supercomputers, and even though I did not know how to establish that my idea was slightly veering off the MANUFACTURING price but STILL tied to supercomputers, I get to have a moderator shove it up my fucking ass and get points off for being a newbie.
Hmmm.. Good point. Often times I have looked at options/ideas similar to yours to perhaps, manufacture my own machine, the impending costs, and why are some company machines so overpriced. I can only think of the following arguments: 1. Manufacturing, specific parts, mass production adds to cost 2. Installation of operating system, and price of hiring people to do so, etc 3. Campaings of publicity or methods of hiring folks to promote the product. 4. Amounting to this, the price would increase substantially. However, the sales of price would of course (and this is simple logic; I do not presume to know marketing laws or ideas, but this is a concept any geek (or jock) could grap) be higher than the manufacturing price; if not, how could you make a profit??? This would probably amount to the overbloated prices.
hey it's me again SInce this is my first post, I really have no fuckign idea if I posted it in the right place. It SHOULD be in the games post where there is an article concerning women's game market share. I hope those there find my post and use it.
OK, this is my first post here, be patient. To figure out the specific elements of games that attract buyers (which is what most of you have been trying to do), you must understand why ppl START playing games in the first place. Generalizations are rather faulty in this case due to severally radically disproportionate scenarious that can ALL be stereotyped. Teenagers, which happen to constitute a large proportion of the game buyers, are varied, at times complex, and often times undecided characters. Most, due to parental restrictions, play games as a vice to avoid work, and because they really have nothing else (or are allowed nothing else) to do. I may interject here that there are several elements that are intertwined between these scenarios. One of which is boredom. Everyone is attracted by whatever is new (and I don't want to get into what is "trendy" or not). Kids or adults that frequent bars oftentimes DO get bored of getting wasted weekend after weekend. Games present an alternative. This leads to their own (mis?)conceptions of their personality. Some feel a stimulus of power when ripping apart someone in a 3D shoot-em-up (and this is USUALLY because they really never had any experience related to a bloodfight EVER). The same idea can be applied for all other cases. Mostly, men have an attraction to these games because deep in their subsconscious (or maybe not so deep), they have idols to emulate, or military figureheads to follow. So it's no suprise that thousands of buyers are closet Napoleons (and a simple reason that there are LESS girls who play these games, is frankly, because most girls do not want to be men--and in no way am I trying to be sexist). Game developers and companies KNOW that men have this admiration for military figures, and come up with cyberheroes such as Duke Nukem to incarnate the fantasies. Game developers ALSO know that girls do NOT want to become DUke Nuke, (altho they know that girls don't have anything against being buff, hence the series "Xena, Warrior Princess" So, weird as this sounds, games (and sex roles) have SOME form of a connection with history. So go to school and learn something in class. find my ICQ at 2988 1384
