The number is not the point that I am making. Do you really not understand that "small massive" is redundant and a sign that the speaker in unable to communicate clearly what it is that they're talking about or, more significantly, expecting their minions to develop? It's like demanding a cold hot sandwich, or a slow fast car. You don't get that? Wow, you must be a retarded genius.
The term MMO doesn't just mean that it's multiplayer and there are lots of players, it also implies that there's a persistent world and players spend all their time in it. You can have that kind of game with as little as a few hundred players.
It doesn't "just" mean that it's Massively Multiplayer, but it does mean that it is. Massive. And if it's not Massive, then pick a different word to describe it, you or you might as well just start speaking in your own personal lexicon, you chuwero muptard.
When your self-delusion prevents you from eliding the contradictions and just saying "multiplayer game" then you've abandoned any attempt to communicate clearly what it is that you're trying to achieve. Can you imagine being given a design brief or a development spec for a "small massive" game? You'd waste half your time just trying to reveal the egomaniac who insists on calling it that as the Buzzword Bingo 'tard that they clearly are.
Yup, what we need is a self appointed super-umbrella organisation which will take it upon itself to speak for the self appointed normal-umbrella organisations.
Since I came up with the idea, I'm obviously the best person to run it. I'll collect the super-tax from ISPs - and mp3 player, CD/DVD, USB stick and hard drive manufacturers, hell, from headphone manufacturers. Don't worry, I'll be super-reliable, and pass all of the revenue on to the normal-umbrella groups, less a reasonable deduction for my expenses, say 25% or so.
Sound fair enough? I mean, if it works for the PRS, BPI and all the other TLA and ETLA shakedown mobs, why wouldn't it work for me?
attackers don't have access to the inside of a gas pump either.
Y'all got some religious prohibition about Reading The Fine Article?
Unlike ATM skimming devices, which are attached to the exterior of a machine, over the card reader, the Shell skimming device was actually inside the terminal, wired between the card scanner and the computer board.
The entirety of human knowledge at your fingertips, and you still insist on wearing your ignorance like a badge.
Tell me about it. It's like when one of the fuel injectors failed on my car and I found out that it was a design flaw. Big deal! It was only a problem if I actually drove the car, plus, instead of going to all the trouble of whining to the manufacturer or pulling some dick move like trying to warn other owners about the problem, I all I had to do to get it fixed was to spend money on it. Pfft, whiners.
Trying to imply that this is some nonsense that should be dismissed just because you like Linux is like playing down and ridiculing the evidence of the murder of Hans Reiser's wife because you like ReiserFS. It's even sillier in some ways because Linux isn't at stake in the case like ReiserFS was. (An extreme analogy I know, but valid).
That's the kind of analogy that Hitler would have made.
if you sit down with any group of investors and propose a new creative project, the provable effect of piracy is when the investors walk away from a project because they won't get their money back before pirates saturate their market with ripoffs.
The theory will be they are best placed to honestly appraise the quality of each others' work, and to catch cheating. The practice will be that slutty chicks, trust fundies, jocks and backstabbing weasels will buy, bully or scam the highest relative grades at the expense of the plain, the poor, the timid and the trusting.
And that, class, is how you prepare yourself for surviving the next half-century climbing the greasy pole at AnyCorp Inc. You can't teach lessons like that.
the fact they were selling $200-$300 worth of hardware for less than $200
Funny, I thought you had to pay $400 to Get one. For that, you got your "$100" device, and an assurance that they Gave One to Starvin' Marvin as well. Did Marvin ever so much as Facetweet a thank you?

Do. You. Know. What. "MMO". Is. An. Acronym. For?
Smart move by Microsoft then, since DirectX went straight from 3 to 5 without getting bogged down in 4.

Hos. They be pimping they stable of fly bitches like crazy mofos, playa.
So you see the Paintball Sentry Gun in a Suitcase and think you gots to get you some of that?
PLONK!

Then that's 1 billion proudly loyal Android users busily evangelising Android to their mothers.
Does that make the point clear enough for you?
That's the kind of analogy that Hitler would have made.
Sure, but it's better if you don't get caught doing it in the first place.
The more I learn about Edison, the more I view him as the Bill Gates of his day.
Which investors? Which project? Citations needed.
He's a lawyer. Chances are, he'll pay it off in 6 months, using money stolen from widows and orphans.
They just set the data free and shared it. Only a fascist dinosaur shill for THE MAN would think otherwise.

Historical. Documents.
Yup, I remember now. It was $400 for one device, plus a Free Warm Fuzzy (disclaimer: Free Warm Fuzzy costs $300). Did you get your Fuzzy?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's put it in terms we can all understand, shall we? Are you saying that the FSB is like the Klingon ISF, while the FSO and SVR are the equivalent of the DSF?
Funny, I thought you had to pay $400 to Get one. For that, you got your "$100" device, and an assurance that they Gave One to Starvin' Marvin as well. Did Marvin ever so much as Facetweet a thank you?
Of course you wish that. You paid $400 for a $100 device running crippleware designed for children: you're basically a mac user.
