I beleive the point of contention was not from creating the idea to profit on it, but creating the idea, letting it distribute and became an industry standard, then bait and switch by saying, "I've noticed you like the FAT, eh? The FAT is good yes? YOU PAY FOR THE FAT!" And so forth and so on.... or something...

Weren't you? I remember driving along, my 9600 USRobotics Sportster strapped into my Toyota Corolla, and the girlies would gather round and ooh and ahh and want to pet it. Total chick magnet.... until I sobered up anyway...
And with the successful computer conversion will inevitably come the hilarious sitcom about a gay human footsoldier who roommates with a brutish Orc Raider, a self preening Night Elf Sentinel, and a hilarious Undead ghoul, with sexy results!
Alcohol in small quantities can be helpful in the digestive process. Tell what helpful benefits that smoking a cigarette gives in small, moderate of heavy quantities? I'm a light smoker too, and I take my life in my hands.
I've got to agree with this one. A parent should be present and have to look over the game before they buy it if it's a mature game. I used to haunt an EB near my house, and one of the clerks was very conceientous(sic) of informing parents that GTA3 was extremely violent and probably not suitable for the 9 and 10 year olds Bertha brought into the store. And the poor sod got was yelled at and once spit on by a kid. So in this case I blame the parents for not heeding the warnings and then placing the blame on everyone but their own ineptitude and poor child rearing.

"Personally, I consider "research terraforming" to be the best of all possible reasons"
True, but I've got to research my Mobile Armor to protect myself from maurading Barbarians with their Musketeers, and then there's the eco transit to help curb pollution in the city of Narnia... too many techs to research, not enough time... *sigh* I think I need a few more scientists
Forget that, Im throwing my vote to Palpatine. mAybe with his rule we could get this going... you know... The whole Galactic Empire kicking a$$ in the movies IV through V and stuff? Then at the last minute, Im a rebel! IT WORKS ON SO MANY LEVELS!!! A WINAR SI ME!!!11!!!!!
I do believe you missed the entire point of his message; he doesn't want to support MS at work, school or home, and has taken steps to avoid 2 of the 3, but he wants game developers to wkae up to the fresh smell of developing for linux. I myself am getting ready to reformat and partition my HDD and am going to install both Mandrake and Win98, mainly because I am a n00b in Linux(it will be my first installation) but as I get more an more familiar with Linux, the partition for MS will get smaller and smaller, and hey, 8 mos after everyone ain't so bad, you'll get the games cheaper:)
I remember seeing an ad floating around about a MMORPG Creator kit a little while back. Anyone tried that or know what Im talking about, or have I ingested to much Peruvian Beaver Cheese?
The analogy boils down to the fact that the only reason that someone can be pulled over for DUI is because it's a law really. Clear cut and basic. The fact that they could cause an accident is a factor, but irrelevent because thats nt the particular law they broke. OR something.
Evil Ex Commie Russian Commandant: Ready our Anti US Interceptor system! Time it with the launch of our devastatingly old 30 yr old ICBMs!!! ACHTUNG!!!! Ex Commie Assistant: Um, sir, we aren't German, and half of us aren't even communists. You're only talking to myself and a turtle you named Oktober. Commandant: SILENCE!!!! READY OUR GRAVEL MISSLE! We will show those capitalist pig dogs that Communism is foreversky! There are you happy??? Assistant: Whatever sir. *Pushes red button* Missle deployed sir. Commandant: Good track it on the radar. Assistant: *Sigh* you mean the piece of paper with bad concentric circles drawn on it? Commandant: Thats the most sophisticated piece of surveilence hardware ever! It is completely undectable! Assistant: I'll just go look outside. *Assistant tracks missle as it reaches a height of about 40 feet then explodes. He then walks back in* Sir, it exploded about 40 feet into the air. Commandant: Good, now ready our nukes! Assistant: But they are only bottle rockets. Oh fine, whatever. *lights bottle rockets* Commandant: Have the Americans been destroyed yet? Assistant: Sure sir. The whole mile radius around us is yours for the taking. Commandant: Good, ready the troops! Assistant: grk! *Head explodes*
But Microsoft has put a new spin on the agreement, requiring an "institution-wide commitment." That means the district must include in its count not only the PCs, but all the iMacs and Power Macs that might conceivably use Windows software.
I'm a fairly Pro-Windows person, and I can't stand the tactics that Gates uses, but if there was EVER any example of electronic extortion, we have a winner right here. Now, as soon as someone can get me a cable modem again and a bunch of games that will work with Linux, I'll make my move...

I mean, If I were to claim I was a movie director just because some watery tart threw a scimitar at me, they'd lock me away!
