To a lesser extent, it is still the same online. I spent some time playing around on PartyPoker.com, and found bluffing to be an absolutely integral part of gameplay.
However, instead of having access to verbal and visual cues and "vibe" from your opponent, you have to rely on other cues, like the way he has played his cards in the past, or the manner or timing with which he bets. This makes "switching things up" doubly important, because if your opponent (human or theoretically, computer) knows what it means when you bet $x in y seconds, you're screwed.
Those who think that bluffing is useless in online poker have never won a pot with a pair of 4's.
Lots of shows could go longer. But should it have?
Consider the steaming pile of manure that was season 7 of TNG. The only really stand-out of that season was "All Good Things". Would the legacy of that show have been better served by cutting it off at 6? Possibly so.
Similarly, would DS9 have gone downhill had it stuck around? I say yes.
Ah, but that's the kicker. If you collect a full set of any release, you can trade it in for the actual cards. There's the candy coating on top of the milk chocolate.
Don't get me wrong, I'm opposed to this. But I'm failing to understand how removing restrictions is equal to the government "getting in the way" -- indeed, this seems like the opposite.
If you want your songs available online, but in a restricted structure, why don't you run some other setup besides a P2P service. Whenever I have requests to access my personal library (I have tastes that are eclectic even by/. standards), I fire up my WAWI Server and set up an account for them. No downloading (or anything else) without a login and password.
You might keep an eye on the above game, based on the 70's TV series (no idea if the game as any good though). It features a two-player mode where one person does the driving while the other does the shooting (with a light gun). What's more, each is responsible for collecting power-ups for the other (the shooter fires at driving bonuses, the driver runs over gun enhancements), so the players have to cooperate for each of them to complete their goals.
Won't work that way. The license is an asset. Although you might depreciate it over time, you can't just say buying the license puts you $350k in the hole.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't consult a lawyer, though. That award could end up bankrupting a person.
Silly man. If you're going to publish them in a diffrent form, then the way to do it is this: you put ROT 13 on them, then bust the MPA for a DMCA violation when they come after you.
Honestly, don't people on/. think about these things?
They're expecting us to squeal on suspicious activity (re: terrorists) for free, even though that could put us in danger. Lessig expects those chepskate bastards to pony up for spammers? Never gonna happen.
My client is 30 days late on paying, is it wrong for me to hack them?
Absolutely, yes, it's wrong.
Now, if you program maintenance windows in your software that so that you can more easily update and maintain software, and your clients know that, and the window just so happens to let you do something akin to "rm -rf *", well then, that's different.
The more accurately phrased answer is, "Dude, why would I want to do that? If I moved it, there'd be nothing in the background when I played Pole Position!"
Exactly. On the same lines, a Federal judge who believe Microsoft's monopoly should be broken up should be fired. After all, that didn't survive appeal either.
I don't blame problems directly on spiritual forces. I do however believe I have an "aura of self-repair". This basically says that I have amassed a reputation among electronica such that when an uncooperative appliance sees me coming, it may realize that further resistance is useless; and so it begins to work again simply by my standing there. (The more devious ones, I have documented, will actully take notice of when I leave and return to a malevolent state.)

Part of Activision's statement in the article says that the suit is being filed because Viacom has let two series end since they signed the contract.
In other words, they are suing because DS9 and Voyager ran for "only" seven years apiece.
I call Shenanigans right there.
Hey, if this means we're going to sacrifice Hermione by ripping out her heart and showing it to her while it's still beating, I'm up for it!

Especially if he doesn't tell me how to do it too."

Wow, I didn't know Tron 2.0 was in the arcade!

I guess George is especially Curious in his later years. As to reading any metaphor into The Man in the Yellow Hat...

Now, now, you overreact. Wal-Mart's got Ramen on special, 10 for $1.
Let me get this straight: to promote the concept of gender equity in the field, your advertising campaign featured only women? Um... I'm confused.
So, if copyright is a property, does this mean I can shoot someone who tries to steal it?
Here, Hillary. Here, girl!

To rephrase your second paragraph:
It's a bill that's written overly broadly and catches all sorts of legal activity in its net? Why no, of course that's nothing at all like the DMCA.
That's when we gather together to decide who runs the country under the premise that all persons' dollars are created equal.
At what point do we call something a "person" for purposes of rights?
Intelligence, Self-Awareness, and Consciousness, of course.
Didn't you ever see The Measure of a Man?
Exactly. On the same lines, a Federal judge who believe Microsoft's monopoly should be broken up should be fired. After all, that didn't survive appeal either.
