Lol, perhaps they could use procedurally generated images, like demoscene videos... Now all we need to do is figure out how to write a program to generate season 3 of lost in C code using direct x and we're all set!
Not only was there never an NTSC vs PAL war (each country has a different standard and neither one would be able to change to the other). But VHS won because it was superior in the ways that count. Betamax, as high quality as it was, had tapes that only lasted 90 minutes max. that means a 120 minute movie needed the tape changed halfway through. a VHS could fit a whole movie on one tape, and that made a huge difference to consumers.
I found one of these at my school last year. The first thing I did was take it to the parking lot to set paper on fire. The asphalt under the paper burned. I also melted pennies with it, and it can make holes in soda cans. Is there anything else anyone thinks I should burn with it? it's in my garage.
The purpose of the grid is to connect the power station to all the places that need power. grids arn't connected to each other most of the time, and when they are it's through the station.
"You would consider it a violation of copyright? Are you a judge? A lawmaker? Even a lawyer? If the answer is no, then praise be. Trouble is, there are plenty of people like you in all those professions. People who do not actually grasp the law, but have their own little twisted internal version of it."
HOLY CRAP! That's one hell of an elitist paragraph. Am I a judge, lawmaker or lawyer? no. Am I allowed to consider this a violation of copyright, yes. You want to try to stop me, go ahead. You would have to either kill me or convince me of otherwise. Accusing me of not holding the authority to sentence blizzard does not negate me from discussing it.
Do you know the entire law? Have you memorised every law that was ever passed? word for word? do you know how every law related to every other? Which laws are valid in different states? in different countries? I would say everyone has "their own little twisted internal version of it." Our goal is to make our little internal version as least twisted as possible. (or do I need to be a psychologist to understand that?)
The law is not a definite, thing. Hence your slippery slope. If you believe it is legal to make an exact replica of a computer game and sell it, you could make a lot of money starting your own softare company. Freecraft is an identical game to warcraft II, the only difference is that the code was written over. This is not a paraphrased book, it's really more of a book written again with a different pen.
Then again, I'm not an english major, so am I even allowed to write any of this?
I see nothing factually wrong with any of my statments. The only things incorrect are the assumptions you made.
"Are you telling me that the effort involved in making a Xerox copy is the same as for making a game clone?"
No, I'm not telling you that. I never even mentioned xerox copies and games in the same paragraph. I was comparing the two, but I never said they were the same. Surely you understand that imitations of any kind have similarites in at least the nature of the imitation process.
"Are you telling me that programming a game, regardless of being based on the concept of anything, involves no effort, no design, no engineering? "
No. I never said that.
"Have you ever programmed anything substancial in your life?"
The character shoots beams of lights and there are demons in the game.
If they wanted to make a realistic religious game it would be a bunch of stupid people brainwashing each other since the dawn of the human race. I don't know what the gameplay would be like.

HD content such as blu-ray or HD-DVDs are all considered NTSC. TAKE THAT!

So uh, What will prevent terrorists from just stealing drivers licenses from people who look like them?
Actually, it would be much easier to hook the power adapter up directly to the car battery, then hide everything inside the hood somewhere.
Then you have to hope no one calls the phone...
All this and he couldn't figure out how to hook the thing up to the car battery?
oops, that url should not have a space in the word pennies.
How about a whole stack of pennies!

Figures the US government is too cheap to use copper anymore. What you see running down the side of the lavarock is zinc.

I guess everyone has a different way of meditating.
Sadly, I think that this may be on-topic... somehow.
Yeah, why do you care more about nature than the planet does! Neener-neener.
Oh like no one has ever removed a sponge from the ocean and sold it in a store.
Woah, imagine what we could do with a fiber-optic spligduglizack!
We already cut them up and use them to clean stuff with, I don't think that it could get much worse than that.

CX is the domain for christmas island:
.com, .net, .org, or .tk.

There are a few popular sites with that domain that have some nasty content. But it's still just a domain like
Uh, isn't the whole point that they aren't interactive? Making it interactive turns it back into a game.
no, those movies are 2D. It's the ones on the computer that are 3D.
Yeah, but jaws could bite through metal bars and stuff.
flamebait? we must have some christian moderators then...
I understand logic fine. Don't worry about me. I'm not a computer science student. I'm a film student at an art school.
I never made any remark concerning the effort required. It does not relate to the argument about the legality of the situation.
My statement concerns the similarites between warcraft 2 and freecraft.
I think a lot of effort was put into reproducing warcraft 2.
