Good point
Also, as far as I am concerned, it does not home the point that 'pirate copies' do in fact have more value as far as I am concerned
Here is a better plan:
You know about the bad joke of paying something you don't want to pay with very small value coins, so that what you have to pay will be very cumbersome to use (you need a truck or something like that to go with your 'due monney')
So a better idea, would be to in fact, pay the monney, with real monney, except thanks to a setup server that allows you through a paypal like service to get your monney
BUT
- You only get the monney (which is rightfuly available through the service and using the correct credentials to transfer it) tiny bits at a time
- For every single transaction you must:
--- Watch a 10 minutes videos warning you that using someone else's credentials is a felony punished by law, blablablablabla
------ The video must make it clear that by using the payment service, they are mostly considered like probable thieves, but just in case, this is just a warning
--- They will have to explicitly agree (with a painful text sentence to write, different every time and specified by a captcha-like image, we wouldn't want COPY-paste, would we ?) with the terms before continuing, obviously, not agreeing will have them 'refuse to be paid'
--- They will have to agree they will watch the credits at the end by the way
--- Another 20 minutes of unspeakable, unskipable ads
Like for instance 'next year enjoy our produts that will allow you to get monney from people's dogs watching your movies'
' Don't miss 2013 next quantum audio/video format that actualy is digitaly irremedialy going down in quality at each usage' ...
--- The last part is a BIG THANK YOU from the community hosting this server, thanks to them using the service they are helping the media consumers comunity get some sense of payback
- THEN they get to the form (no COPY pasta allowed) that allows the transfer
- And then come the credits (coderz, hosterz, blablabla)
If the payment was too big (say over $1) then to get the next transaction they will have to answer a quizz regarding the previous credits which they have agreed they would watch in order to benefit from obtaining their monney
Of course, they might complain they just want their due/promised monney easily available so that they can later do whatever they want with it
Well, at least, once they do have it, they WILL be able to do whatever they want with it
I disagree, though I do understand and share the interest you have in the way you play an RPG
But as much as optimizing the hell out of known combinations of well measured skills is fun,
You also lose the having fun in chosing how you want to play a character necause of how it feels
For instance, sometimes you will want to play a character that is plain evil, or good, and if you enjoy the story, you would like your character to be consistent, but that is alsmost always incompatible with total optimization of skills/rewards/etc.
So I prefer those full optimization possibilities in other kind of games, unless I'd want to 'meta-game' the game and just want to own everyone online for multiplayer games
For RPG (more particularily for single player RPG) I prefer the game to be balanced enough that not optimizing will make it harder for you while not impossible/ way harder
Ah funny, same experience here,
I learned the first 360 digits quite effortlessly in fact and stopped when nobody was interested anymore and the contest was over
several years later, I switched language and I eventually got to understand that my PI memory was mostly the sound of it, not the numbers themselves
To my great regret in fact: All those years I thought I could memorise numbers, and I did, learn so many constants, e, 12 digits, log(2) log(3) sqrt(2) sqrt(3), N, c, etc. etc. for fun and I really felt/believed that I was remembering the numbers for themselves
Switching languages I was completely unable to 'tell PI' by memory without first telling it in my head in my first language and then translating it pieces by pieces (slow, error prone, and overall disturbing)
Before that I had no consciousness of my being 'locked to the sound of the number' instead of to the number itself:)
Sounds like a plan,
You could convince moon people to join your cause
As for world people, we can't stand thos surrendering cheese habitating monkeys and would give you more support if you gave us better garantees that we will invade (and loot the cheese) as soon as possible...
I don't think Microsoft is right at all, really, not at all
I really like the gmailman ad, it is very funny and very true
The problem is that this is the exact same argument that goes agains closed source software
I really expect many videos in answer to that coming from open source proponents mocking this video but with 'upgrades/bugfixess' and 'phone home features' etc.
The matter in the end is more about trust and control, not so much 'the internet'
Shell theorem => Inside the earth the gravitationali field varies linearly away from the center.
It is indeed zero at the center, but at the center, this is the pressure of all the rest of the matter that should worry you instead of the direct gravitational effect since the rest of the matter wants to join you at the center
Yes, exactly, and this is even worse than that.
I am close enough to your style except I do not only buy used games
I mostly buy (ebay etc.) used games or the games when they are old enough and they are re-released as 'platinum'
But I also sometimes get a gift, and somtimes I will just want that game right now and buy it new at full price
I am fairly certain many people are like that
To me, this means I do not buy the console at all, so here are the lost sales
No, a hell if I know is the offspring of an elephant and a rhyno. only shills pretend to ignore this fact because it doesn't suit their shilling agenda
Everything, that is, every event has event horizons.
Near enough of a blackhole, the events horizons will be bent in such a way that all possible futures of any event will be closer to the blackhole center no matter how, it is therefore impossible to escape the blackhole past a certain limit which is 'the' event horizon of the blackhole.
What the hell is wrong with you people ? (sorry nothing against you personally, but I'm seeing too many posts like this one)
I would pay for this !!
I am unfortunately probably not good enough for a start, and then, children, house to pay,...
But 15 years ago, I can't imagine I wouldn't have tried very hard to get such an opportunity
I'd be right there with my paper saying
Will do it for food (*)
(*) food is negotiable
Also, what is it with all those posts somehow diminishing Stephen Hawking's value / intellectual might ? is this brain envy ? sheeesh..
Alright I'll calm down and get some more coffee...hmmm...
No, the parenthesis are not for you to read, he was in the middle of his post and talked to his girlfriend, he must have a speech to text interface, we're lucky he isn't in the toad farm
You are forgetting the 'when'
This hypervolume takes into account the time it took to build the railroad from the reference frame perspective of a traveler waiting for it to be built (at rest, thus) so as to be able to take the train

Ok, and what do you think s/he thinks it means ?
Good point

Now don't you ever attempt a dentist joke !

Well, then don't forget to protect your boxii from virusen
that's because you fail to take the greenies into account in the environmental threats :)
Oops that's what I meant to write of course, thanks for correcting me :)
Any british driver will tell you that german drivers drive on the wrong side of the road for a start...
That's what your parent was saying...
Also, you don't actually need the flashlight to conduct the experiment, give it back to me please

It can allow you to illegally go faster than light ;)
Well it has been asked for many times before but this time, Slashdot will really have to rethink their Google and Microsoft icons
Why would it not ? :)

Here is an easy to follow tutorial if you're having troubles with your next revolution

What do you mean ? you're not hungry ?
why claim you are if it is not so ?
hmmm...puzzled.. gonna think about it...
