I have some bad news for you kiddo, you might want to sit down for this, the casual gamers are now a market bigger than what you think of as gamers. They are todays gamers, welcome to 2012.
Also most PC games these days play fine on a middle of the road PC with a $100 video card. Even most of the fairly hardcore shooter games.
Sounds like a rational decision to me. He has 3 weeks of Paid TIme Off to use as he likes. He gains little by staying home when he is sick. If his coworkers or the company gain by him not coming in they should be paying for it, not him.
Most places where? In what country, surely not in the USA.
I now get 24 days including my 5 days of carry over after 5 years employment. At 10 it will be a another 5 days. Our starting employees get 14 days and can carry over 5 more into the next year. That is considered generous in our area.
Absolute worst case it will eventually mean spending a couple hundred dollars a year. If your one man show makes any money this will be the least of your worries.
GTA3, Vice City, Demolition, Mass Effect infiltrator, The Dark Knight Returns, F18 Carrier,Air Navy Fighters, Nova, Spectral Souls, General, Carmageddon(ios only so far, but android is scheduled for Q12013).
These are all PS1 to PS2 level of graphics. There are also PS1 emulators. PS2 emulation will take another few years, as ARM cpus just are not up to that task. Even old Core 2s really don't do that, and ARM is nowhere near that level of performance.

Yeah, but amazon pays the same cut I think.
Of course an android developer could always sell the apk right from his own website if he so desired.
Does that game have IAP?
It looked interesting and I loved the series almost 20 years ago, but I will never buy anything that uses IAP.

It can't join a domain?
Then why in the hell would anyone even care about it vs iPad and android?
Fail MS, fail.
What they did to OpenOffice more than makes up for that.
Hell, having to deal with Oracle as a company more than makes up for that.
Normally software in the Play store is a little cheaper.
I know I would probably not pay $9 for an app unless it was really amazing.
They tried that with WinPhone. It failed so far.
There already is, I believe it is on Steam.
Still I bet the iOS and Android versions far outsell that.
He is mad about this?
To get that much money every WindowsRT user must have bought it.
I don't see how their changes hurt CENTOS. I do see how they hurt Oracle and hope they wound that beast as much as possible.
Oracle is the one standing on the backs of others and returning nothing. They try to poison the well of FREE software everywhere they go.
I would never live in such a place.
I in fact required FIOS availability when I bought a house.
The game can have a simple config at start. Like PC games often handle it.
Sick time should not be limited, if you want me to use it.
It really is that simple.
In the USA that last part would stop a lot of people from taking sick days since they cannot afford to see a doctor for the note.
This is yet another area in which the USA is closer to a third world nation than a first world one.

Why would I want to waste PTO when I feel miserable? I can get paid and feel miserable. Might as well save it for times when I can enjoy it.

Damn, I meant to mention "The Bard's Tale" that game was great. I might have to get it myself soon.
I disagree. My D1 was great for web browsing. It will probably be even better when I finally get 4.0 booting on it though.
Troll harder.

We just need to combine these two things.
Space exploration using oldsters. Problem solved.
I thought it was 120km not kn.
2999 nm is pretty much what I said in km.
If you are correct that only makes it cheaper and even more plausible as a method of travel.
Use a controller?
This is really for games that benefit from a controller not ones that benefit from touch.
This is one thing android badly needs. A standardized joystick/controller API.
The game does not need to know what kind of controller I have just that I pressed stick one forward and depressed button seven.
