Avoid using your bed as an office, communications center, or TV lounge. Regard it as a place to rest, sleep,
Just something interesting that came to mind:
Its hard for me as a college kid to separate bed from desk when i live in a dorm room with just about enough space for those two articles of furniture plus roommate and his. (it also might help me to have a roommate who is condusive to healthy sleep habits)
and do the other sorts of things normally associated with being in bed.:)
well, yeah i guess, but its great on the desk too. it also helps for the roommate to be gone that night.
...Disney, he's Warner Brothers. Get it straight, man.

i agree with the point about the nationality bias, but you could have made it better.
I would like to see a game where, among the cast of characters, there are neither good guys nor bad guys, just characters.
by definition a game involving any type of competiton entails that there be some "enemy" or "bad guy" over which you can triumph. in chess, its the other player, in Grand Theft Auto, it was the cops.
what i had in mind was that you could use the Blizzard game Starcraft in order to demonstrate a healthy view of conflict from all sides. In Starcraft you can choose to be one of three alien races all involved in the same conflict but with different goals and methods. Its a valuable lesson in disguise, about diversity and the different needs and biases of different groups.
so anyway, yeah, modems. they're slow, but not too slow for starcraft...

how many bay-area kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
to put things into scale, do you think the sattelite dishes were the small or large radar? its pretty obvious that the golf-ball thing was a hyperwave decoder. the UFOs always fly around out of range of your weak-ass interceptors with avalanche missles once you built a hyperwave decoder. i hated that

if we used this system we wouldn't call it "friday." it would be "fiveday" or another similarly dumb-sounding alternative name.
but i guess we could just change the names of the numbers, so that 1 means mon and 2 means tues, and 5 means fri, then we could have fridays the wednesteeth... wait, that doesn't work so well, does it?
The first thing that surprised me about the PS/2 was its high price and i was reluctant to buy one mainly because i was pretty confident i could get a couple of my friends to build a clone for me that would still run Windows and Wolfenistein3D. At first the choice of games for the PS/2 was pretty slim, mostly DOS apps and a few weak ones for Windows 3.0 but i guess when IBM RELEASED THE "PS/2" (PERSONAL SYSTEM 2) IN 1987 we really had no idea what things might be like more than 10 years later when sony would release the "PSX2" (PLAYSTATION 2) in 2000.
do you suppose any of this legal pissing-contest would be taking place if napster hadn't gone and made a corporation out of itself? realistically, Napster Inc. has a pretty shady business model and they really don't produce anything. being a corporation just makes them an easier target for sue-age.

what i think is the most brilliant marketing move here is adopting the "i" to name all of their products.
i mean, you can't get much easier than that, just add "i" before whatever the thing is or does.
it's easy, but they walk a fine line between brilliant marketing and the type of genius in naming your dog "dog."
raise it?? what with IP laws, the DMCA, and above all AOL, we internet purists live in it!

CATS was probably just trying to get his stolen ship back. It was about time it caught up to OPERATOR that he bought stolen goods.
I don't believe you.
nobody in america says "tele."
How are you supposed to ask the dog what he thinks?

Yeah sure, let me know when Windows2000 becomes open source, then we'll be able to figure that out.
There is only one in the world and it comes with a half-a-million-pound price tag.
i hate it when they bundle cars with 250-ton price tags. its really annoying. why can't they just make the material lighter?
