Or ascii-based games running into problems with tiny pixels or miss-matched resolutions.
Not strictly true; I'm playing in this year's/dev/null tournament, and the rogue level in NetHack is giving my SSH client serious issues. For some reason the graphics options that work fine for the rest of the levels screw it up mightily, resulting in everything being one character to the right of where the screen tells me it is. It makes moving and not getting eaten...interesting.
Works for us too, except for when we ask the user what their PC's tag is so we can remotely connect, and end up trying to start an RDP session with their monitor...
However, what is not tolerated, is massive scale, cannabis farming which is then sold on for huge profits (without tax being paid, are you spotting a theme here??).
That's the part that always confused me - if you're not allowed to grow it large-scale, where does all the "product" in the shops come from? Are there legalised farms as well, or something?
And, more importantly, the security. Given the government's track record with keeping sensitive data safe, I'm actually slightly happier about that (inasmuch as I can be said to be happy about the plan at all, which I'm not), but we're still replacing a single point of failure with multiple single points of failure...
Well I guess that the gay bomb might not have worked out considering that it could potentially booster the morale of the enemy troops and eagerly protect their loved ones.
Well, it worked in Sparta. And you didn't mess with the Spartans
There are a couple of bits where you can take cover behind a car, then shove it forwards - basically, moveable cover. At one point I ducked and shoved, and the car sailed gracefully up, up off into the sky. Fun to watch until the locust horde started eating my face...
Seriously? One company, yes, but not one set of servers. In fact, not even one physical location. Google's datacentre distribution and redundancy is seriously impressive; after World War III, nothing will be left save for cockroaches and Google. Presumably so that the cockroaches can search for...um, whatever cockroaches search for? And get served adverts on h4wt female cockraches while they're at it.

Nice. Have you read "Dream of a thousand cats", at all?
If they had scales and fangs instead of fur and big cute eyes, we'd see the evil little bastards for what they really are...

Starting a witch hunt? You forget "fear"...
gave me a head start for writing and with computers
...right.

If people want to tell everyone when they sit on the can, their biz. But don't expect me to tell you.
Not a Twitter user, then?
I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
So, wait.. how do you eat grapefruits?
Fuck the grapefruit!
the UN was formed AFTER WWII.
Sure, that's just what Chaplin and the dinosaurs want you to think. I bet you pronounce it "you enn" as well..?
-1, failure to recognize an Idiocracy reference.
You said it. Thought I was safe enough referring to it here.
*looks around at nascent flamewar*
Oops. Seems that idiocracy may be a little closer than I thought....
We can see how well the UN has worked out, so no thanks.
You're kidding, right? They un-nazied the world! For ever!

Plus they can offload the costs to the ISPs!

The plural of anecdote is not data.
"Evidence" isn't a synonym for "data", either.
It will be Serenity all over again.
What, the film will do so well that it'll persuade Alan Moore to write more Watchmen comics?
Just a guess here, but are you single?

Where is this "IRC Channels" website? I wish to join.
I always thought that they were knock-offs of Iain M Banks' Larry Niven knock-offs...
Wow. I understand every word, but the sentence still doesn't mean anything.

come to Illinois, the state that bans "evolution"
I have to ask - what's the penalty if you're caught evolving in a public place?
So if Pluto is a dog, what's Goofy?
The collective brain of the Illinois legislature?
one company...one set of servers

That is the real question. So how long before the UK is a Totalitarian State?
What do you mean, "before"?
