That analogy is pretty far off target. More accurate would be you walking into the store, stuffing muffin ingredients under your shirt, then going home and putting it all in the oven.
You didn't take the effort to WRITE that game. You stole the code, the media it's on is irrelevent. You're paying for the hours spent designing, coding, and testing the game, as well as the packaging and publishing fees.
y'know something i remember from the fine print on the VMU "manual" is to remove them from the controller when you turn the DC off. if you leave them in, the batteries drain.
(i know, reading the VMU instructions...i musta been really bored that day)
This one makes the top ten list of crappy programming movies easily. Perfect example: When Mr. Ub3r Hackz0r with the stupid allergy is compiling his final code, there's a gui with a PROGRESS BAR that actually displays "Program complete!" or some such nonsense.
We had plenty of laughs after THAT movie. I mean holy shit, if I had a development interface that could TELL ME when I was done coding!?
Oddly enough, I actually lived in an apartment complex near NCSU that was wired for ethernet. This was in my college days, and they were claiming to have T1 bandwidth (the only way I could wean myself from the phat pipe at the dorm).
Their bandwidth really started to suffer as more kids hooked up their computers, and we finally switched to cable modem in disgust. Not to mention the landlord had no idea what to do about customer service. I think they tossed it together and had no real idea of the demand they'd run into or the bandwidth they'd be needing.
Anyway...it's a good idea, but won't be worth having until you find a landlord who either hires a dedicated tech staff or cuts a good deal with an isp.
However, I've never been in favour of such intrusive spying, surreptitious scanning of email, web usage and workstation hard drives.
see that's the point, it's NOT "surreptitious scanning." if you're gonna set this thing up right, you're gonna have to get everyone in the building organized. they have to keep all their work stuff in a work directory, and most likely the same for their email. it would be foolish to scan your entire drive to find the half dozen.doc files worth sharing.
so you'll have the work file/email folder, and the rest is all yours, nice and private. yes, the IT-SS could set up your entire system to be fair game, but this is the real world...who would bother?
they're not spying. it's a work tool. i for one hate having to dump stuff on network shared drives or floppy disks just to move them around the office. if i can just walk into someone's office, start a discussion, and pull up something on my machine to illustrate a point...then hey, i'm all for it.
but then, i'm just an intern:)

"stop cutting up"?
Dune II and Ninja Gaiden are definetely classic intros, but my vote goes to Descent II for best intro ever.
Sound, music, dialogue, cinematography...all outstanding.

what about good ol' Chu Mi?

tell me i'm not the only one who used to watch that intro over and over again!
Do you want to know MORE ?
Starship Troopers?
That's a mouthfull, so we could just replace it with a symbol. Perhaps '~'?
I think ':(' is probably more fitting.

why would it be DSL when they own Time-Warner (i.e. Roadrunner)?
