  1. No Video on Demand? on Video Streaming Goes Peer-to-Peer · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Here is the detailed schedule.

    Um, if I wanted to watch video on a schedule, I'd watch TV.

  2. Reply: "What is DAOC?" on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1

    "Dark Age of Camelot", DAOC, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game -- similar to "EverQuest" or "Star Wars Galaxies".

    DAOC came out October 2001, and captured many unhappy players from previous games due to its refined gameplay and interesting warfare system.

    No, it would mean they're doing something wrong--not meeting their retailers' needs. If you were able to buy one, they would be doing something right.

    A Wal-Mart spokesman stated "We're not going to carry any software with any vulgarity or nudity -- we're just not going to do it."
    Ahem.

    I am a Wal Mart electronics associate.

    We carry Fallout (vulgarity, text), Die Hard (vulgarity, audio). We'll be carrying GTA4: Vice city (audio vulgarity ?).

    We carry very violent games.. (PS2) GTA3, (XBOX) Dead to Rights, the new Mortal Kombat game, (PS2) Mark of Kri, (PC) Mafia, etc etc.

    The register prompts whether the customer is 17 when you ring a [M] rated game, or [R] rated movie. I let every parent know what they're buying -- and kids don't get mature games from me. :)

    Actually, card games don't sell -that- well. Solitare is ranked so highly because its free and included with Windows...
