Is this supporting terrorists or supporting stockholders?
1) Neither, it could be a 12 year old with hotmail sending threatening emails.
2) Both, it is another corporate goon protecting his stock options.
3) None, they were paid out in Botcoins.
Maybe you will argue it's an amazing periodical achievement. Or that it's an important piece of American satire. However, it does not imbue me with chortling.
ICANN only cares about profit. No surprises there. No matter how many governments and corporations write in to say this idea sucks, they still have complete autonomy and can assure themselves 10 years of awesome fees if they approve this. So it will be approved, without question.
This would explain the laundering activity that has been going on the past 24 hours. The equivalent of the entire market of bitcoins has been transferred to hundreds of accounts in 50k+ increments. Only 6.5m BTC in existence, over 8m BTC in transfer activity. If any of that starts selling, it will collapse the market down to nickels and dimes.
Since a fair portion of all players are bots, what will the pattern show? Players have a desire to perform repetitive tasks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Players seem to enjoy movement in a cross-stitch pattern, picking herbs, mining, and skinning hides Players are more predictable than the predictive model predicts.
Do we really need to listen to this kind of dribble? Look at all the recent break-ins at Citigroup, Sony, etc. No one gives a flying crap about proper engineering or the end result - and the Obama and previous administrations have enabled this by not throwing the justice department at these overstuffed elephants. So we have a culture which continually rewards profit-seeking behavior and never enforces voters, or consumers, rights. All anyone cares about is lawsuits and they have already those down pat - argue in court for 20 years and by then your net loss is deflated to nothing.
If Obama administration wants change his team needs to start enforcing good engineering and proper thought instead of allowing this country to fall to the bottomless pit of wealth-seeking stupidity and irresponsibility.
I am a game producer, and one of the things you learn early on is that you need to reward early adopters, because there is a default stigma against all things new. In essence, you need the promise of an aristocracy class.
This reminds me of a brilliant parallel between players and a game. Early players often have serious advantages, both in terms of equipment and experience. They hold valuable knowledge they will not part with easily, and they have gear most will never see in their lifetime of gameplay. This generates both awe and envy. Most of this is a waste of time. With enough perseverance, new players gain the advantage of new knowledge and new gear, and can compete with old adopters on a serious level. The only players who complain frequently about the disadvantages are the ones who sit on the hands all day waiting for gear. They lose everytime.
How can bitcoin overcome problems such as:
If a computer is lost, disk fails or any other number of problems, how can the wallet be recovered natively?
How many of the wallets created in 2009 have forever vanished already or never logged in again?
What quantity of coins in the market are being held for speculation by the top 5% of speculators?
What is to prevent a large cache of bitcoin from being dumped at any time causing a distributed loss of all value?
The US has already proved it will do whatever it wants, unwarranted, in the name of Intellectual Property Protection. What's to stop another country from doing the same thing for any number of warrant-less reasons and never giving the data back?
1984 never imagined a state of happy, healthy, nourished, and fattened citizens living out the proletariat dream by shouting Orwellian slogans with hotdogs in their hands.
En route to Switzerland, Adelkeye was caught molesting a hotel maid and was turned in by several Good Samaritans. "He just looked suspicious," commented a white man with shoe polish on his face. "Yeah, we saw him do it. Molesting that horse. I mean maid," quipped a gentleman with large glasses, puffy eyebrows and elongated nose.
Adelkeye is expected to please guilty and spend life in prison. Barack Obama, who received a personal plea from Peter last year, stated that "those Canadians and their judges need to be held accountable for Adelkeye's release."

It's still not funny.

There's great info on Fantasy RPG Games, and I do think that both rpg and fantasy are better fits than 'adventure games'.
