Those will still be necessary, the copyrights will still be open after 1000 years and the generations below must have a way to collect what they are due.
I would give you that graphics are important now, and it would be as hard to sell a text game as it would to have sell a pure CLI OS. but I really see no reason that should define major gaming. However, I also still think HD video is not half as good as people think it is.
This should stand as proof that graphics should not be in the forefront of the entire gaming industry, they had graphics then and did much better giving a fully descriptive story as was needed. I really want to see some level of text based gaming come back. Hell it might be a great way to market a Wii Keyboard.
I wouldn't call any of the recent 3-D any more 3-D than original DOOM, I'd refer to it as 2.5-D. Just because the images come out of the screen isn't any different unless the entirety does, like a holograph.
Apparently in our justice system unless you just spontaneously do a crime with no premeditation whatsoever you are gonna get slapped with a charge for thinking about it on top of the charge itself. To this day I don't understand it.
Then I was told wrong all the time growing up to "think before you speak/act."
I was a ruse all along to make us bigger criminals.
But you would have to go to the I/O Tower every time you need to send/receive an email, that could take away time spent on the newly redesigned "Safe Game Grid".
Now I will agree that the way these packages are advertised is ambiguous. IME however, that ambiguity is resolved in the small print, usually with something along the lines of "usage must be reasonable".
If it says usage must be reasonable, then I want to know what "reasonable" means. If they can't give a clear definition then it's open game to reinterpret it however the situation dictates.
Does anyone really care if corporate America is left in the dark ages? Let's face it - corporations are there to serve the public. When they fail to serve, they are forgotten and left behind. They will either adapt to what the consumers demand from the web, or they can abandon the web, and become part of history. No problem.
America doesn't allow massive corporate failures to fail, it puts them on "business welfare"
My grandmother made me put IE6 back of her computer because she didn't like the tabs at all. "Lack of tabs" isn't horrible its just a niche now to not want them.
Help me Slashdot! Me and Steve Jobs were jacking each other off while we dildoed each others' asses with our iPhone 3Gs. Mine got stuck up my ass after I came and then Steve ran out on me! I've been trying to call him to come help me but he won't return my calls. What do I do?!?!!? I'm so scared...
How the hell do you make a call while the iPhail is STUCK UP YOUR ASS?

I'm just thinking of how old porn collections will be used in medical classes.
1,000 years ago, women had only two breasts...
And the larger males had breasts on their backs.
There are no "accidental" mods, morons just get mod points sometime.

Congratulation, you have been awarded "BIGGEST DUMBASS ON SLASHDOT" award for posting the dumbest comment I have ever read on here.
Judging by your UID, there wasn't much competition. Its the dumbest I have seen too, but I know there is years worth that I have never seen.
Maybe its a good thing we have not found a way to leave earth (permanently) yet, we only have to deal with running one planet into itself.
Porn, the real use for bleeding edge technologies.

Quote from Avenue Q, "In volatile market, the only stable investment is porn."
If they came out to do it as a scheme to buy off the competition, this may not be so good.
How can they enforce someone else's copyright?
Ask the RIAA or MPAA, I am sure they have a legal way to enforce copyrights that don't even belong to their members.

Gotta love the misleading links, but I was hoping for a rickroll or some goatse in there somewhere just to top it off.

If I can get you to pay me a rental fee (that's not what they call it), I can generate an ongoing revenue stream off of one killer product.
That why we have subscription and micropayment games now.
I got that good old tape adapter works like a charm.
They have the same result on ignorant masses, so they are not that different.
RELIGION IS FUCKING STUPID.
Religion may be stupid to you, but it is the single factor that has influenced the majority of actions of humanity for as long as history can track.
How long has science been the major influencing power?
