yeah they do a full credit check, at least with cingular. Since i'm a college kid with no credit of my own as of yet (i use mom n pop's credit card when need be), i had to dish out a $250 deposit to assure them i'd be paying for my splendid service.
the possibilities are endless! I can just see the commercials now:
"This is the true story of seven space-monkeys picked to live in a spacecraft and have their lives taped. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real."
They could have regis come in and regulate, or maybe the weakest link lady. And then to add another twist, you could vote your least favorite astronaut off the ship. Cost-cutting and fun for the whole family! More oxygen for the rest of us!
And then when they all finally got to mars, the martian life that of course would be found and corralled, could become part of the show. It would be like road rules vs real world! Competition to get home!
Somebody sedate me
Ok, but think of it this way. There are gamers out there that play for hours and hours and hours. EQ kids, for instance. For them, selling items/characters is just a plus. They would play the game even if they couldn't sell stuff. Selling stuff is like money for your fun. And even if it is somebody's job, there are people that would be happy to get $4/hour for playing games (kids).
so the moral of the story is to not use MS IIS, right? Thats what we all learned from the previous article on security and how to avoid the script kiddies taking over everything.
