while reading the first line of your 'utopia' I was immediately already envisioning the fourth & fifth word in your third line, but in a completely different expectation.....
"The term imperial should not be applied to English units that were outlawed in Weights and Measures Act of 1824 or earlier, or which had fallen out of use by that time, nor to post-imperial inventions such as the slug or poundal."
there are a significant# of people who load their cars in lourdes VA and take the train to Florida, and back, each year.. how freaking hard is it to imagine a train that goes from seattle to moscow, and has capacity for personal vehichles, and cargo containers, and runs as traffic demands.....
one vehichle, moving the cargo, means driving can be accomplished in shifts....

would you like to sell hardware with blu-ray or HDDVD licensed drives? consumers WANT to play blu-ray and HDDVD's on their home pc's business users WANT to back up 50gb of data on a optical disc
if you DON'T help us protect the content, you won't be able to purchase drives.
FTFA: "Under the system, known as the "anti-online game addiction system", the first 3 hours of play for each day is considered "healthy", during which players will be awarded full points in the virtual world. The next 2 hours will yield only half the normal points and there will be no points after 5 hours. "

Not defending the original post, but I would like to point out the MAJOR FREAKING FLAW in your argument.
The ITS (*professionals*) would disagree with you somewhat...
the IRS publication 525 which defines income lists sections for BRIBES, page 28 Kickbacks, page 31 and illegal income page 31, requiring you to pay income tax on such activites
"Illegal income. Illegal income, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if your self-employment activity."
So, who doesn't know SHIT about what they are talking about?
but I don't have to.. \ one pc at home has a 24wide, landscape, and a 19inchwide portrait just to the left (only place I could mount the arm) the others- at home (main pc#1) and on my desk at work, 24 dell wide main, landscape.. 20in wide portrait mode (turned 90 degrees) this means my main screen has 1920 wide X 1200 deep, and the side has 1050 wide, and 1680 deep. my start/task bar is horizontal on the right smaller portrait oriented screen, runs from the top to the bottom on the left side of that monitor and set VERY WIDE, so each open app has a long ass name.. right now in fact I see full labels of " slingplayer using two monitors makes you more productive... (this browser window) inbox- microsoft outlook sales brochure finalv2.pub-microsoft publisher-print p... " etc.. the point is, I'm not seeing little cryptic buttons at the bottom task bar in 2-3 rows.., and my browser window really is full screen, when I need to switch windows, I can find the one I want in a heartbeat.. I can have 40-50 items running down the side of the screen... every doc and open program has a long descriptive name in a list top to bottom, not 2-3 rows running under my running app.
+ when I want to look and feel print documents I can work on the portrait monitor and see the whole page at once, and when I'm making webpages to shoot for 1024 width, I pretty much know to a T where to resize my taskbar to nothing/26 pixles wide to have a 1024 desktop on the right...
I'm sorry.. having one large 30" monitor is not the same to me.. takes too long to arrange windows and tile them.. the simple ability to doubleclick maximize on the monitor you are in, is much better than constatntly shifting and tweaking windows to be side/side on a large monitor.
(course, next up would be a 30" wide, with 2 24" rotated sides... somthing I am seriously considering for my next #1 box at home-)
matrox dualhead2go or triple head2go.. look at matrox's site- they are coming out with 'digital' extensions that up the resolution possible.. my main pc theortically, could drive 6 monitors with one card (a quadrofx4500 admittedly)
all of windows update install the 3 or 4 system heavy utilities I'm using now (wow, studio, ms publisher/office currently) and stick my old box under the desk and connect to it via MSTSC (remote desktop) then I share it's hard drives completely open. New PC is used only for trusted, normal, I can type the domain by memory websites. some blogs, slashdot, news sites, and google summary/cache searches only.
anything I want to 'download and try' I do it to the old pc.. under remote desktop...without drives connected via remote. if it's REALLY GOOD, then I'll add it to the new PC. email, I keep on the old PC (which has antivirus & popup blockers) the new PC has no antivirus.. just the CPU heavy apps. or access via exchange webclient (I have a SBS server) keeps my ace PC clean and quick. old pc session is the only one used for googling of random internet lookups...
I'm sick and tired of all the anti-microsoft slant to slashdot.. continually minimizing microsofts effort to the world of personal computing...
Microsoft did not have TWO, they had at least 4 of the above. Microsoft deserves credit for #36 and #24 as they were directly responsible for bringing them about.
what I think would be more effective than your solution is, motivate through game mechanics...

in WOW, when you are a few levels above another player, defeating them is pointless, there is no gain...
now, take your headshot kills.. give them (headshot kills) their own 'level' when you can pot 99% of the players with a headshot, you 'skill level' in headshots rises to such an excessive level, that it just doesn't give you any benefit (other than a dead opposing player) unless the other char has a uber level in headshots themselves..... you have to work on another type of kill to show any 'gain'.....

while reading the first line of your 'utopia' I was immediately already envisioning the fourth & fifth word in your third line, but in a completely different expectation.....
and yet, people take amtrak, and not princess cruises, to get their cars to palm beach.
driving onto a train is a whole lot easier than craning a car into a cargo hold...
then you walk into the passenger compartment and ride....
the ship would be about a 17mile journey for just the water portion.. the train ride I suggest could cover thousands of miles.....
They aren't imperial any more.

you 'splained the issue better than most here.. at least now I get it (and agree with you)
that was concise, and you deserve mod points.. I'm sitting here trying to split the hairs and figure this out.
