They stereotypically wear some wacked out clothes.
Is fashion moral fabric?
I know every time I leave the house I dress like I want, and act like I want. Consequentlty I get in trouble a lot, fights, bouncers, cops.
Is theres a point where acting out in society is really detrimental though? Can breaking the minor rules be changing other people's minds on the big rules? You bet. Not everyone thinks like you.
Why is pimpin a positive term nowadays? I got a pimpin ride.
You gotta be thinking.
I'm torn too, because I used to be funky... I'd do jackass stunts before it aired... nothin else to do in western PA. Now I found Christianity, and acting funky doesn't work. A: Its somewhat disprespectful of God B:It gives bad ideas to other people
Even though I originally got the funk from: C-I'm still playing by the rules, you're not going to do anything evil. I'm just going to goof off to have fun.
I'm still wrestling with how funk can be kept. My best argument stems from society not being optimal, and people not knowing each other like they used to in village communities. Most everyone out there is alone, and following societies rules won't change this. If you bring attention to yourself with funky clothes/attitude, you're sayin this is not cool... And with local rockstar attitude, you can shepard a few social rejects.
Of course, I'm not sure what method God wants me to take yet. Doesn't hurt to think about this stuff though.

All my ideas became vastly successful, but without any ways of forming a buisness, someone else cashed em in. Its sorta torturing to see the avenues, but not being allowed to drive on them.
Theres a great wealth of culture that the web doesn't have listed and referenced.
Instead of camping out television, you could actively pick any show you wanted to watch.
Don't pay cable or satellite bills, and the computer is the center of your entertainment system. Pay an internet bill instead.
The shows you want to watch would be easier to access. It didn't matter in the past, where there weren't many television shows/movies, and people would could see them all.
Now, someone may want to sitdown and watch a whole season of the Simpsons. Captain obvious will note, Kazaa already does this, but thats the point. There is a monopolistic demand for a cental site to hold information. Once media providers realize they could make more money off such a setup, they'd probably go for it.
Its like Blockbuster, but you don't have to leave your house. Now, the key is, that since its going to be a monopoly, once its in place, its going to be a monster. Now it can either be a good monster, like Puff the Magic Dragon, or a bad monster, like MTV. If its done benevolently, then you'll have it also educating our kids. But if its done corporately, it'll be trying to make our kids dumb enough to want more pairs of jeans than they need.
The key is, from the beginning of time, libraries have been man's dream of educating the world. They're a place of learning, and people with freedom to access them can benefit. One book can help more than one person. The internet lets people access that book without the limitations of traveling, or a publisher making copies of the book.
I'd want to get involved in such a project just to make sure the aim would be a positive change. There's no arguing this will be a success, because it will definately happen within the next 5-10 years. The question that is at hand is whether our kids will become more educated, or will they be subjected to corporate mind games. Movies, television, and video games are easy to watch. They can be used as tools to get kids motivated to want to learn and achieve.
Imagine a generation who thinks learning is fun and cool. Educated people are less likely to be self centered and caught up in the dog eat dog world. Educated people are the ones that cure diseases and make real positive change. I could go on and on, but I definately see an interest in participating strongly in this project if I was allowed. It has a far reaching impact.
Sure, content makers never want to let their works go for free.
So charge people for the download. Allow access to every movie, book, piece of culture you can put in the database.
Allow people to comment on it and categorize similar works. Ie, if you liked the Lion King, maybe watch some other Disney movies.
But take it to obscure works, and you get to learn more about culture.
For kids, it would be invaluable for learning... Theres so many learning software packages for kids, edutainment, but they go obscure with each passing computer phase.
This would make your computer not only replace your television, but be enlightening too.
If so, are we supposed to stop walking in fear of killing insects and bacteria?
If man was making rotors for the express purpose of shredding birds, that would probably be evil.
Whats the count of deer killed by cars accidentally? How about deer killed by hunters intentionally?
I'm all for eco-conservation, and teraforming the earth so we have no deserts, but some wackos take things too far. Ask some crazed Peta member, you may find one who values animals more than a human life.
PlanetSide is ok as a large scale FPS is concerned, but it doesn't have: 1) Any character development 2) Any clan building 3) No base development 4) You can get the best equipment early on(no character development) 5) No storylines 6) And really since the game doesn't give rewards for anything, theres no goal in the game
A game that would have long term goals, in addition to massive warring would rule. Planetside didn't have any long term goals... In fact after you watch bases switch hands so many times, you contemplate the futility of it all.
A mad max style game where everyone's fighting for resources, trying to have their character ascend, while helping their team out. That game would do well, and even have social intrigue... On any situation, how much will you gather power for yourself, or share with your team. Divvying up the pirates treasure style. etc etc
At the very start, you have access to all the weaponry... A game that you'd want to strive and build should give you reward over time.
The resources you fight for give a direct boost to your personal firepower/armor.
Or you could gain resources to build up your base.
The plots would run cartoony like Transformers, where everyone vies for resource plots, and builds up clan bases.
The key is planetside doesn't allow for clan building, which is one of the key things that make quake games fun... trying to build the ultimate killing team. In planetside, you're forced into teams, and can't shoot dorks that are getting in the way but are on your team.
Planetside had a great idea, but it gets boring really fast because you're not building anything up. Everquest allows you to build up, but its boring because no action is taking place. You make a game where your long term goals are to build up your character/team and base, while still having FPS action elements, then you have a bad ass game.
Either I play it down, or I look like an egotistical overlord trumping my experiences of coding.
Someone's gotta know of a team thats working on a MMOG thats action paced like halo.
A FPS set in a large world setting, etc etc.
Light vehicles for getting to location, heavy if you earn them, and want to bunker down a place, and main bases to group out from. Slap in some "leveling" goodness, maybe a cartooneque storyline, and you have a hit that'll last 5-10 years.
Most spamming is done through another person's computer anyway.
So the spammer pays 1c, then uses a security hole in windows to infect another computer, and the owner of that computer sends out thousands of emails...
Now in addition to being a victim of a security hole, the man is forced to pay hundreds of dollars.
Maybe the man will sue M$, and in effect M$ will be paying the bill

They know they're doin better than everyone, so they try their best to have fun while making a mockery of the courts.
Comcast.
From what I hear, Lego made money, but it just had to pay so much to Lucas, Disney, and whoever makes Harry Potter, that it had the loss.
Corps overvalue their own IP, while everyone else's IP is theirs to exploit.
See how long you can survive while the cops chase you.
Its quite fun when you're on a motorcyle and the feds are chasing you in Suvs.
The better you are at the game, the more challenging you can make it for you.
That being said, my disc no longer loads because I played it too much. Its not worth buying a new game.
I'm working on a 3d toolset, so my own 3d game will be out within a decade.

I had a mouse
It would come with windows.
I mean you have an idea, know it will work, but what do you do?
But who do I pitch them to?
My prior ideas in 1991 were:
Online auction site
Online personals site
Instant messaging
MMORPGS
All my ideas became vastly successful, but without any ways of forming a buisness, someone else cashed em in. Its sorta torturing to see the avenues, but not being allowed to drive on them.
I'm having trouble laughing at stuff anymore when theres an opprotunity present to make the world a better place.
Laughing at something is just shugging it off, like its satire, and something that's going to go on regardless.
To me, its hard to joke about something so gravely serious, and difficult to understand.
With children being influenced by school, parents, and the media, its tough to lay blame anywhere.
This system will be a one of the largest influences on children for the future.
There will be corporatization of online media, its happening already.
Once corporatization takes hold, there will be crackdowns on Kazaaalikes.
The penalties for downloading will be more pricing than the cost of the download.
This means the over all price of media will drop too, and the masses will adopt it.
One cablebox/computer, that plugs into your TV. Allows you to watch any movie or television show ever made.
This is what the future holds. If its a good box, or a bad box is up to the creator of it.
This is one, if you're in it for the money, you're doing evil.

You know, that one
Do insects matter compared to birds?
If so, are we supposed to stop walking in fear of killing insects and bacteria?

Apparently the audience for Paycheck forgot the plots been done before in Total Recall.
Then again, an action movie was never really full of plot.
Tim, they got your wife!
But I'm not married.
You are now, to America.
But my timetable for release is a bit longer than most gaming companies.
My main concern is how to go about forming or joining a team.
If no one has help in this regard, maybe I should sit down and figure out what the best way to assemble a team is.
I guess its alot like open source teams, and I hear lots of problems are involved.

There wasn't a single game in 2003 that I enjoyed playing, and I'm one of the most die hard video game players out there.
I'm good at coding, game design, etc.
I'm looking to join a crew who's making an action paced MMOG.
There's a monopoly bigger than Everquest waiting in the action MMOG.
Sounds like a plan for M$ to make more $

If I propose to anyone, she'll probably get her wedding ring like that.
I know its been reused in movies and stuff. Its funny, every time I hear it, I'm like,"Its the Dune 2 scream!"
The scream you get when a single infantry tries a headlong assault vs your 20 rocket towers.
