Basically, a good LCD HDTV can add 40-80ms of input lag, and hardcore gamers such as myself complain about that (justifiably so). OnLive adds this same kind of latency. If it really is 150-200ms before multiplayer network latency, it is indeed useless for playing multiplayer games online.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if OnLive started putting servers for multiplayer games right in their datacenters, giving you very little network lag to compensate for the input lag.
Or it could mean that God heals the sick and then simply fucks with the information collection process. Either you really don't get what "omnipotent" means, or just lack imagination.

It's strange how people think that just because you communicate with someone only over the internet, it isn't somehow valid.
Companies don't patent things because they're hard, they patent things so that they can control their use.
The japanese have their own. It's called HAL. Made by a company called Cyberdyne. Yep, we're doomed.
You know, it's very easy to switch between keyboard layouts. I always switch to a US layout when programming.
You have obviously never chatted with a not-overly-bright teenager. They would never capitalize or punctuate properly.
At least call it "Lutetia II" or "jr." or something.
They are calling it "21 Lutetia".

Am I supposed to be an idiot or something!?
Yes, game publishers would very much like it if you were an idiot.
It doesn't actually have to be cheap in order to be the cheapest mac.
Ah, but the light that arrives here now from really far away depicts events that happened a long time ago.
Well yeah. That's how Ask Slashdot usually works.
We're a prozac and adderal nation now.
Bread and circuses isn't exactly a new invention.
You know, some of us prefer B5.

Doesn't anyone read anymore? Not that the book was any good either, but still...
How long do you think "most non-technicals" will put up with typing on an uncomfortable, unresponsive piece of glass? Five emails, maybe ten?
I bet it's longer than they've put up with writing 160 character messages using 12 buttons.
Karma's a bitch.
Why don't you go download and build the source? Works just fine for me.

I bet "GoatKCD Explained" would just rock your socks off!
To make it easier to lose?
I don't know about you, but I usually keep my SIMs inside the phone.
He said "evil", not "bad".
(Also, I thought my 5 days continuous freelancer game at university was extreme)
It's really not that much when you think about it. 2200 hours divided over three years is only 2 hours a day.
Oh yeah, because sitting on a chair and moving a mouse around so teaches one how to handle a real assault rifle
Seriously, assault rifles have point-and-click interfaces. Guns are ridiculously easy to operate.
and for that matter so prepares one to sprint with 60 pounds of equipment.
That's taught by, you know, the non-video game part of being a cub scout.
Only until you realize that this isn't "Man versus Machine", but "Machine versus Man-controlled Slow Machine".
