That's a bad analogy. When you sign up for telephone, cable, or most any other service you are charged a "connection fee." Exactly like buying the boxed game...
Umm, what? You easily write procedural code in Java. Just because you have to write fancy words in certain places doesn't mean it isn't procedural, e.g.
public class MyModule {
private static void myProcedure()
{
System.out.println("I am in no way OO! Yay!");
}
So write tests only for the cases your code can handle. If someone asks if your code handles extensions, you can look at the tests, see that there's not one there, and confidently answer "No, but I can add that..." Your tests are then invaluable in describing the functionality of your system.
Because information is easy to copy and distribute. What incentive would a novelist have to write if there were no copyrights? They'd be better off as a construction worker, and the world would be worse off. Seems pretty cut and dried to me...
You may be surprised to learn that ALL microwave ovens work that way. The "power" setting doesn't control power, but how long the magnetron (the thingy that emits microwaves) stays on over the course of the desired time. The downtime between bursts allows the heat to travel by conduction through the food. If you're interested in this stuff, I highly recommend this book
Well, if you can scrounge up $23 for his book, there's a list in the back of essential stuff to get. He particularly recommends a good cast iron skillet I picked up one at Ace Hardware for $15. Also, check his essentials page.
One of the lead researchers says that if Einstein's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space-time, due to its deadly accurate precision.
I saw three little kids in carts this weekend playing their GBAs and I think that shows that the GBA is really for younger kids.
Yeah, I'm sure that's a representative sample. Man, the logic in these posts keeps getting wackier and wackier. Well, I was playing my GBA this weekend, and I think that shows that the GBA is really for 20 somethings.
Sure, I can just see Junior petting his tiger lovingly while you're watching; when you're not, however, he's teaching El Tigro to munch on villagers, hurl lightning bolts and beat the hell out of opposing creatures. Meanwhile, he's burning the nonbelievers' towns to the ground with his gnarled red fist of pure evil, laughing maniacally all the while. He was bad before, but now he's got a God complex...

Where do I send my resume?
You're both wrong. It is clearly the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda.
There is a container for everything...
"A resume can contain false information. It is much harder to fool people with a website."
I should have stopped reading at that point...

Ikaruga proves that you don't have to have fancy schmancy 3D stuff to make a great game. It just has to be fun.

Umm, what? You easily write procedural code in Java. Just because you have to write fancy words in certain places doesn't mean it isn't procedural, e.g.
public class MyModule
{
private static void myProcedure()
{
System.out.println("I am in no way OO! Yay!");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Wheeee, I'm prodedural");
myProcedure();
}
}
And who ever said procedural code was bad? It's just a different way of organizing code.

IMHO, GTA _is_ its own genre.

Just for kicks I decided to check the HTML of the article. Not surprisingly, I find the following markup repeating:
<p class="DefaultText" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%">
