In my game, I invested quite a bit into Aeris. As in time, fights, xp, gem sockets, development. She was my Cloud's girlfriend. It was a big loss when she died. I was shocked. SHOCKED!
all you need to do is set up the initial conflict. how the player or players seek to resolve that conflict contains all the drama, action, and story that anyone needs.
if the conflict is as simple as "I'm trying to kill you and you're trying to kill me" that life-or-death struggle contains as much drama as anything you could try to manufacture.
Just stupid. I've got several sites registered on register.com. I don't see what is so offensive about having a Coming Soon page until it switches to your DNS. That's like 2 days?
What an idiot!
Now, he's costing them $600,000. Which ain't pocket change. I hope they can handle it. They've done pretty good. Customer service is okay. A little slow, but they answer their phones.
"With hard drive space so cheap, why not pre-load all kinds of software, each with a unique encryption key (varies for software, computer) and let the user call in with a credit card number to get the key for the software?"
I don't know about you, but I fill any size hard drive within 6 months. After that, you're gonna start deleting that crap off of there.
I say no, when I buy a mac I want just the OS and nothing else on there. Let me decide to put whatever crap is on the hard drive.

After they end-of-life'd the lifedrive, I was hoping for a linux based pda that isn't a phone. Not some sort of sub-notebook.

Presumably, the tivo records when you play things. when you pause. when you slomo or rewind or skip ahead.
I recorded "Swimming Pool" last week and I guess Tivo now knows that I only recorded it just to look at Ludivine Sagnier a lot. Many times.
what's with all these nerds talking? Where are the spaceships?
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that cloud game. If that ain't art, I don't know what is.
man, in my experience, clustering is the root of most of the downtime in a Microsoft server cluster.

Since the invention of time saving devices we've gotten less time not more.
This is because we've gotten used to things getting done faster. We're pressured to accomplish more in less time.
yeah, but buying and watching the dvds won't prevent them from being cancelled.
They're not going to continue to make a show just because some guy will buy the dvd 10 years later.
Maybe they cancel shows because you're only watching them on DVD. Maybe if you'd watch some commercials now and then...
Does this mean that Mac users have to pay $30 more for a Palm?
isn't the budget for social welfare something like 300 billion dollars?
If only we spent so much on NASA. They only get 12 billion.
" The scene crossed the line. Period, end of story."
Line? I see no line. The baby killing scene was cool. Disturbing and sick, yeah. That's what was so cool about.
Actually, what I find problematic with the Matrix is it's open propagation of Christianity:
-Neo is a savior delivering his people from being slaves to their illusions.

The Upright Citizens Brigade?
That makes sense.
I'll laugh at you before you laugh at me because your pennies have been in my ass!
"Really, dude, think of the children."
BS BS BS BS!
Fake child porn harms no one.
You can't criminalize what goes on in a person's head. As long as it stays in one's head it harms noone.
You're the sicko to think you can create laws that make people's thoughts illegal.
Well, Sony is both a hardware producer and music producer.
I would think that like Sony, Apple would have a schizophrenic attitude toward DRM. For it sometimes, and sometimes against it.
You might as well say the same thing about board games or DnD.
Some of the best times I had with my friends were playing poker or Risk.

Isn't one of the Friends a scientist?
He's portrayed as a weenie. But, smartalecks tend to be weenies.
if it sold papers.
Scan the RFIDs of trash to see which consumers of which brands are more likely to litter.
If you follow the links to the working screen pictures, you see screens where through the warped screen you can see the desktop.
