In true George Lucas maximum money-extraction fashion, you will not be able to buy the films separately, only as a box set.
And after the fourth movie comes out there will be a special edition with enhanced sound and visual effects.
I'm glad the films are finally coming out on DVD but I look at the way Spielberg and Lucas handle DVD releases and I see nothing but greed.

Ah crap, you're right. I confused Will Wright with both Will Harvey (Music Construction Set) and Bill Budge. My memories of the Commodore 64 packaging for those games are not as clear as they once were.
I understand games where you get to be something else. But a game where you get to be a mundane human doing mundane things? Have you all gone positively fucking mad?
You could use this tired Shatner-esque "Get a life!" argument to tell someone to stop doing anything you don't think is a worthwhile form of entertainment.
Don't you have anything less mundane to do than attacking others? This isn't news.

Wil Wright's games would come full circle if a Sim could spend a few hours playing a tiny version of Pinball Construction Set...
And why is it that almost all of them use the same non-text-resizeable template, rendering words to display about the size of the period that ends this sentence.
I agree about the tiny default size of many fonts but the inability to resize the text is the fault of the browser. Mozilla and most other browsers (besides IE) handle that quite nicely.
Good idea, but the problem is that the line between blogs and news sites is blurring more every day. One man's navel gazing is another man's news source. Who is to say that a columnist is "hard news" when her personal slant and opinions about the topic she is writing about resemble a blog?
Come to think of it, the main difference between blogs and other sources of information are editors. I think we all need one.
They might as well go after TI/99-4A cartridge ROMs while they're at it.
Does anybody in the IDSA truly believe that software archives for a 20 year old computer that hasn't been sold in over 15 years are really a threat to civilization? As if any of their members are planning to reissue this stuff. There is no market for it.
Few people have time to keep track of all the sites that use annoying tactics like this or the inclination to hand edit HOSTS files, as useful as they can be.
I'd love to see a Mozilla feature similar to the right-click "Block Images From This Server" option that blocks an entire domain upon request. A month later when I forget and try to return it could play a little sound like ummm, no to remind me of the blacklist.
Sure enough, I go there and it says, " Looking for a Senior Software Engineer to desing (sic) and build Apple's newest Consumer Application, iTunes for Windows."
That's just a regional accent. As in, "Defeat of dee cat went over defense before detail."
Being targetted by the RIAA might be seen as some kind of street cred. I know I'm going to leave my copy of Kazaa running all day, trading files with more people with usual, until I can brag about receiving my own instant message.
Your requirements are higher than mine but for $7.99/month I get 100MB, Perl, PHP, MySQL, e-mail with a web interface and all the other usual stuff. Tech support has been helpful and friendly for the couple of years I have used them.
The green and white color scheme is the only one I've seen so far that doesn't suck. Why does the site need alternate color schemes at all? The icons and subdomains are enough.
11. Go out of business after blowing your entire budget on development for a product that's still vaporware.
Great ideas. I'd love to see them implemented. Unfortunately, they seldom happen in the real world. Maybe in academia.
In return, they get to "advertise however they want" through their blog.
However they want? Some people will be paid to slam Dr. Pepper and crack daily jokes about how the new soft drink tastes like panther piss. I suppose that's one way to subsidize the blogging community but probably not what Dr. Pepper intended...

Well, that's one way to prevent 40 people from submitting "repeat post" comments...

GPS units speak Afghani now?
That would certainly be my "Ted/Neo" style reaction to being hired at Apple. Or to even having a job after being without one for a long time.

Just kidding. This construction set is great. I miss playing side scrolling and overhead adventures like these.
So in that deck of cards she's what, the Queen of Clubs?

Sure. In a galaxy far far away...

You're against the bombing of the moon? What are you, unpatriotic?
It is losing its power, you fucking moron.
Well, if the hackers don't finish off the al-Jazeera website the /. effect surely will...
And why aren't they immediately canceling the accounts of every AOL user who sends out spam?
