What you say may hold water in the short term, but long term stock value is the result of management. You can only make money by fudging the numbers for so long.
Updating classic games with eyecandy. Before CounterStrike was created by fans, their most successful online game was a facelift of the original team fortress. Id software wisely leaves this to fans; both Quake 1 and 2 have numerous GPL'ed engines with eyecandy that is on par with newer games, although I prefer TomazQuake for Q1 and Q2:ICE for Q2, which add enough effects so that the respective games don't look ancient, but not so much as to make them run at slideshow speed.
Actually, there is a direct correlation between competent management of a company and stock value. Google seems to be a competently managed company. I will let you draw your own conclusions.
"Genesis does what Nintendon't" was a Sega slogan back in the early days of the genesis, when it far surpassed the NES in terms of graphics (never gameplay though...)
You go ahead and go under 24 hour surveillance then. I have a problem with being recorded around the clock. Regardless of whether anyone ever peruses the logs, their very existence makes it more likely that they will be be seen than if they were never made at all.
I didn't mean to equate nudity with pr0n, I was making a distinction between the rare, nonpornographic nudity that already is occasionally shown on prime time tv, and the full blown, bukkake style entertainment whose rise to prominence I predicted.
Since this dictinction was made entirely to soothe the pedantics, it amuses me that it is that nit which you wish to pick.
Ants, being insects, have 6 legs (or arms, if it floats your boat. Only arachnids, such as spiders, have 8 legs. I found your comment funny but wanted to avoid the propagation of false information.
Homegrown herb funds terrorism? How? Stop swallowing the sound bites. The ban on marijuana is ridiculous when you can go to the store and buy kegsof beer, which are arguably much worse for you. It is also at least as difficult to enforce without violating civil liberties as sodomy laws, which pretty much everyone agrees are a joke.
Before you respond, yes, driving while intoxicated should be a crime regardless of the drug, but the time is approaching when you will have no say at all regarding what an individual other than yourself or your child does with their body. Since both the parent and the grandparent made predictions, I will go out on a limb and say that in thirty years, there will be full frontal nudity (read pr0n) on prime time network television every night.
Hence the prefix cyber-, which implies a different meaning than the word athlete. Similar to the way psychologists and parapsychologists talk two completely different dialects of nonsense.
in fact, i don't think you go far enough. i think we should select certain works of art for mandatory viewing by all citizens, to ensure that everyone gets a chance to evolve. (no troglodyte left behind!) here are a few of my suggestions:
ICE-T, O.G. - Original Gangster Cool Hand Luke - Directed by Stuart Rosenberg Muppet Babies - Jim Henson Workshop Super Mario Brothers, published by Nintendo, Inc Crisis on Infinite Earths, by DC Comics Eyes of the Dragon, by Stephen King
I agree. It is as if the farming community, back when modern agriculture was just getting started, got together and lobbied for "mandatory hunger laws" and minimum grain prices. They would've been recognized as miserly bastards, though. People perceive art as less important than food for sustaining the human condition, and while it's no doubt true that you can go for longer without food than art, man is a social animal and requires communication in order to live life to the fullest. The less restrictions on this communication, the better.
50 bucks for a box that can play mp3's, practically every nes, genesis, and gameboy game, browse the internet, play jet set radio, and a ton of other stuff i'm too busy smoking to list right now... i wished my dreamcast still worked (and i also wish the second hand ones didn't have such dicey read mechanisms...)/me tips a 40 for the dreamcast
I think Abuse fits that bill better, and it's public domain, with a Win32 port here That is the full game with all media. It comes with a level editor, and only supports 4 player deathmatch. Still, one of my favorite LAN games.
P.S. I understand the author of this port has a slashdot account. Be sure to let him know what you think.
oh, hell yes, Parsec! Also, I remember competing with my old school crew for the top score in TI Invaders, a shameless space invaders copy. If you go back that far, you probably already know that the TI-99/4A is emulated on numerous platforms anyone for a round of hunt the wumpus?

Perhaps Kerry doesn't mention his Senatorial record because he is too busy defending against Republican smears on his war record.

those are an entirely different species, named "webmasters". they can be identified by the shiny webmaster badges they wear during mating season.
Security is a fictional thing and does not exist in nature.

'tis true, these young whippersnappers have no long term memory... why, in my day, Genesis did what Nintendidn't.
to the NES version.
Or maybe he was referring to this.
Nice metatroll.

100 kilometers is a little over 62 miles.

if species A overwhelms species B it's not EVIL.. even if one is mechanical and one is organic...
don't you know that evolution only applies to nonhuman species? surely you don't suggest that humans, most favored of God's creations, came from apes?
I tried downloading a real media player, but my hard drive vomited all over my cable modem.
