Wrong. It sounds nice and is a good guideline - but what about the guy at my workplace who is extremely skinny yet eats whatever he wants, drinks a lot, gets little sleep and exercises maybe once every few weeks? He cannot gain weight. Please explain that.
This exactly what McQuaid said about the SOE-Vanguard deal. We all know where that went - there's no explanation necessary. Personally, I'll give this one a chance and hope that SOE doesn't screw Flying Labs but I'm extremely skeptical.
Yes, Apple is a viable alternative. Believe me, I am no Apple fanboy (kind of hate them actually) but in my office alone there are Windows boxes, Apple boxes and of course Linux servers. I'm not seeing a monopoly here.
But what religions do is unit people for common causes. They amplify the humanity that is missing from people like you.
This sums up a lot of the Fundamentalist thought regarding non-believers. People who don't believe and act they way the (say) they do are less than human to them. Just fish to be caught in their net so they can get a pat on the head from their invisible fairy god king in the sky.
The Fundies will try to refute this, but I spent a few years in the Fundie movement on a lark - even going so far as preparing myself for ministry. I know how crazed these people are.
Seriously, what exactly is a "serious game" and why is that a genre unto it's own? I'm seriously curious about this as my interests are seriously piqued.
I call FUD.... I'm a casual gamer but I can not stand mind-numbingly easy and boring games like WoW. Sorry, but I don't want to play Mario Bros skinned into an MMO. I want a game that has some challenge. Granted, there is too much of an emphasis placed on time played but I dare you to tell me WoW is not the same, especially in the end-game.
Vanguard is not perfect, not by a longshot but at least it doesn't hold my hand. Sorry, I'm 35 years old and I'm not dead yet. Give me a challenge.
Well, I for one would much prefer something like little WiiRemotes strapped to the ankes to replace dancemats. I was going to buy DDR but I read about a lot of problems with the mats. And if you think about it, jumping on your controller has to be hard on it (unless you pay a couple hundred for a metal pad). Remote sensing (like the WiiRemote) might avoid all the mechanical Dance Pad problems, perhaps?
You don't need specialized software to read barcodes. All keyboard-compatible barcode readers essentially are just 'typing' the barcodes to your keyboard input followed by a carriage return. It's pretty standard stuff, even the big table scanners do it this way.
Very true, sadly. The reason for that, in my employer's case and probably many others, is that it would be a waste of resources with regard to maintaining the software - especially since releasing software has nothing whatsoever to do with our product.

42 but this is also my second account. Forgot login credentials for my old one way back when.

I actually miss grits.

And forgot to mention the OpenBSD servers.

Where's the monopoly? Apple systems are a viable alternative, aren't they?
I don't think it's a matter of education as much is it's a matter of developers not caring. At least from my experience...

While you're predicting the future, do you have any investment advice?

Oh yes, forgot to mention that "corpse runs" aren't required in Vanguard. You can always retrieve your tombstone by paying a few measeley copper.

Good points. I always get irked when I hear the phrase "oil production". There were only so many dinosaurs.
Not that I blame you for not RTFA, but Optimus Rhyme is on Disc II.
"Why isn't anyone asking why the previous administration didn't take out Bin Laden when they were given a number of opportunities?"
He would've been wagging the dog. Whose fault is that?
What I want to know is why hasn't the allmighty war leader of the 2000's found or killed Bin Laden in five years? That's the big question.
Ah, crap I knew this wasn't going to be a good day for me.

Jehova is not peaceful and loving. He says so himself.
Sort of like reading Slashdot, reading an article about 'scary' people and taking time out of your day to comment on said scary people.
"Hard-earned loot"? You don't loot in Second Life for money, you pay USD.
