The real problem is that nobody can make an offer to China that they can't refuse...they'll just steal your offer and sell the knockoffs for half price.
If you don't think there's conformity in Eve Online, you've never flown in an organized fleet. When everything from your skillset to your ship fit to your overview settings are predetermined for you to maximize fleet efficiency, that's not "Individual Ambition"... it's "Attack of the Clones."
1) Don't fly what you can't afford to lose 2) Don't fly what you can't fly well 3) Trust no one. 4) If you're in a fair fight, you're doing it wrong 5) Someone running away isn't always fleeing. They're called "bait" 6) Beware friends of friends 7) The Enemy of my Enemy is still my Enemy. 8) There ARE no safe areas in Eve. Even the Market is PvP 9) If you accept an exchange contract, you deserve what you get. 10) When all else fails, self destruct 11) There are no Gods. There is no Fate. No such thing as Luck. There is only LAG. 12) Skill trumps numbers. Numbers trumps firepower. Firepower trumps luck. 13) If you wake up one morning in a pod on the other side of the universe, stop playing drunk. 14) Don't burn bridges. The fleet of pirates who killed you yesterday may be your closest allies tomorrow. 15) Always keep a noob-corp market alt to your dirty work in Jita. 16) AND FOR GODS SAKE, CHECK YOUR SEC STATUS BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO HIGHSEC (you know who you are)
Sheesh, if you don't like AT&T's terms, then don't buy an iPhone. It's not like there aren't alternatives out there that provide nearly the same functionality.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

Down with undemocratic Monarchies!
Viva la Mushroom Kingdom Revolution!

or else David Lee Roth would definitely refuse this treatment!
He'd probably trash the OR, too.
world's most powerful soft X-ray laser.
Really, unless you're talking about bathroom tissue, you really shouldn't use the term "World's most powerful" and "Soft" together.
so what does that make PlanetSide?
Redheaded bastard stepchild, abused and neglected and chained to the basement wall.
You are obviously not a Square/Enix fan.
Depends on the puppy.
Here comes the DREAMCAST II
Everything you need to know about young boys, you can learn by reading Lord of the Flies.
I used to have a t-shirt:
"I'm a non-conformist, just like everyone else!"
The only winning move is not to play
How about a nice game of chess?
and perhaps the hatred of your peers.
In EVE, that's how you keep score.

In a mothership on a lowsec gate, you can get a lot of kills but you only need to die once for the fun to come to an abrupt end.
If it wasn't for downtime, when would you go to the bathroom?

Damnit, now I'm going to have the hook from Nuthin' but a "G" Thang stuck in my head all day.
Where did he say that there was a difference?
He's basically saying, follow the MBAs that are imitating the 24 year olds. The guys with the experience, just not the creativity.
Kneejerk response #1: This jerk is why we're all going to have to pay income taxes on our MMO loot someday.
Kneejerk response #2: Finally! The solution to the health care crisis...Gold Sellers!
Kneejerk response #3: You're only jealous you didn't think of it first.

My Final Conclusion: I just hope his kid is getting better.
Hey, if it's half as good as Tetris: The Movie I'll probably go see it.
You can also drown in just three inches of water.
OH MY GOD, BAN WATER!
The tin foil hat industry has been gone a long time. Most people have switched to Aluminum.
