Well, monopoly is a poor example, as its a zero-sum game. If one player gets better, its always to my own detriment. WoW, not so much. One player buying gold, doesn't harm my ability to farm gold, run instances or anything else.
The only idiot in that situation is the buyer. They are the ones paying money for nothing (don't know if their chicks are free). The seller similarly gets money for nothing. Why wouldn't they engage in that transaction?
Its a special h.264 viewer for specially (at the moment, I believe at some point in the future it will be for all youtube videos) encoded youtube videos.
I believe that's for the credit check they run on you. Thus, the proper anger should be about why the phone company needs to run a credit check on you and/or why a social security number is required to do so.
Unless there's someway to tether the iphone to a laptop and use it as a modem or something, I highly doubt that you'd use enough bandwitdth for them to think about turning you off.
You're duped. I've missed paying mine off exactly once and have excellent credit. Then again, missing that one time might have been what did it. I do believe that running a balance for a few months will get thim to up your credit limit, but that's a different beast than your credit rating.
No, the ESRB system and the MPAA one are pretty much identical.
G = E
PG = E 10+
PG-13 = T
R = M
NC-17 = Ao
Arguably, the MPAA system views a greater portion of the whole movie, not just snippets created by the creators (not that it would stop another Hot Coffee). Besides, when's the last time you heard people bitching about the movie rating system being ineffective?
well, given the way things are currently, who says the MPAA businessmen aren't deciding law anyway:)
And yes, those business men are more accountable to the public. If the public doesn't like what they're doing, they go out of business. I'd even argue that the business men have more incentive to cater to the public than a politician does. The politican makes his money off a much smaller constituency than the MPAA guys do.
Its not that the US thinks kids should be able to buy them. Before the current system there was similar outcry for a government mandated system (just like with games today). The MPAA stepped up and created the system they have now. Non-governmental "voluntary" doesn't mean there aren't penalties for theaters that let minors in, just that it isn't government doing the punishment.
Personally, I think the ESRB should do whatever they need to do to get the MPAA to license the movie ratings for games. EVERY parent in the US knows who an R rated movie is innappropriate for. Not so much for an M rated game.
third-party apps on the iphone are run in WebKit. This is a way for developers to make and test apps for the iphone. Also, at least until its out of beta, Apple won't be making commericals mentioning this. The announcement was made at WWDC for a reason.
No, Apple is not trying to replicate iTunes' success. Nobody on windows would give a crap if iTunes wasn't the main way to get things onto an iPod. From what info was given about apps for the iPhone, Safari is the SDK. Any greater market share for WebKit is just gravy.

They don't have that camp during the summer. Its for a week in the early spring and is called "spring break".
You do know that Sony killed off the $500 PS3 in the US?
Why would anything happen to Bush for exercising a power explicitly granted to him in the Constitution?
Given that Blizzard proper was never developing it in the first place (they farmed it out somewhere else). No, I don't.

Indeed, cutting through the marketing bullshit you get "We never touch the in-game items, so we're better than IGE"
My favorite part of that exchange is when the blues see the warthog and say "looks like some kind of big cat. You mean like a puma? yeah, that's it."

Yeah, usually. Except discover likes to up my limit, then not tell me. So I can't request one because it was just upped.

They sound just like Orlando Bloom or to be more snarky, with my imagination.
If you're reading text its a lot easier to picture the sounds as coming from a dwarf or elf or whatever than when you hear their actual voice.
Technically, no race in the game can be "wizards". Mages and Warlocks, yes. Wizards, no.
No, 25 gold in an hour is pretty damned good, even for a max level character. That's certainly better than I ever did.
I highly doubt that the pencil pushers at the insurance companies have MDs.

Is harmonix really doing this one? or is it activision?
Nope, you can get the beta for tiger from the same page as the one for windows.
