Never mind that the videogame stories are inevitably dreadful imitations of book and movie plotlines that have been done before by legitimate storytellers.
Yes because books and movies lately have been bastions of new story ideas.
The biggest "exchange", Mt. Gox, seems to be one person reachable only on IRC. They're a depository institution, and people have substantial balances with them. Not only are they not regulated, they don't even seem to have a business address.
It's worse than that. Mt. Gox used to be MTG OX, for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange.
"Self control or not" it is always tempting to check the caller-id.
No it isn't. Sorry about your lack of self-control. Perhaps you should consider talking the bus if you are unable to drive without checking your phone.
When driving, for example, it is next to impossible to resist answering the phone when it rings. And you know that last-second thought you just had? You've got to call someone right now because it might leave your head in the time it takes to at least get to a stop light or to pull over.
You should see a doctor about that obsessive-compulsive disorder you appear to have.
The problem is the manual contains some things that are wrong.
And there's no indication that you should play the intros in the order given. I picked the dragon one also, because it sounded cool. Very shortly after that I was nearly ready to snap the disk in half.

But multiplayer is where the most fun is
They turned a profit in 2010. It looks like '09 was their only bad year recently. So where's this "growing loss"?
I have not found a flaw. More importantly I can't find anyone who has. Not one person.
I guess you haven't looked very hard then?
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man. Got any facts to go with that?
Well, there's a reason nobody's on the gold standard anymore.
But that doesn't make it any more of a "con" or a "pyramid scheme" than, say, Timucua scrip [yolasite.com].
Actually, yes it does.
I was shocked that something like this could work, and figured I must be missing something
It can't and you are.
Defending their patents isn't abusing the legal system.
but XP required the yearly reinstall just like all the previous Win OS's.
No, it didn't. I ran XP for years without a reinstall. For that matter, I ran 98 for years without a reinstall. You're doing it wrong.
If not with Bitcoin, do you really, really think this is NOT going to happen in my lifetime?
Yes, I really, really think this is NOT going to happen in your lifetime.
What the gold standard did was anchor the currency.
You say that like it's a good thing.
a good diversification and investment right next to brick of gold.
You misspelled "canine fecal matter". HTH.
Look at how much of an idiot you are.

I guess that means no movies for me because some hypersensitive person might be offended.
If by "hypersensitive" you mean "normal", then yeah, pretty much.
t's a 0-year-old operating system. Microsoft is still selling it.
It's a 10-year-old operating system. It was first released in 2001. The fact that they are still selling it means nothing.
Really? Because I use a Vista machine at home, and when I go to work and log into my XP box I feel like I'm in the stone age.
Oh yes, so Microsoft can make more money!
No, because it's a much better OS.

I can't tell you exactly what the new era will look like. If I were that good, I'd be awfully rich.
You know another way people are getting rich? Making and selling video games. For money.
I think the only way to fix the quality issues you describe would be by opening the code.
When will MS figure that out?
Just as soon as you figure out that most people don't want/don't know how/don't care/don't get paid to fix someone else's code.

This was a poor choice.
What's it like, being absolutely wrong about everything ever?
Weren't there multiple reports from credible sources that OBL was dead years ago?
Actually, no.
