That's what you're buying, and yes you are correct about corporate people not being tech saavy.
My dad is the best example. He doesn't want to bother with do-it-yourself or free software because in reality, it's cheaper for him to buy something with support than it is to get something for free and it may not work exactly.
Of course I load up his work computer with firefox, thunderbird etc, but when it comes to his website, he'd be more interested in a company that would do everything for him, which is the right thing to do since he charges his customers $100+ an hour.
If Deus Ex 3 would continue going towards the direction of Deus Ex 2 then this is what you'd have:
One "unified gun" that fits all purposes (detachable hand gun, sniper rifle, automatic rifle, grenade launcher etc).
Open gameplay in a 10'x10'x10' room where everything is possible, although if you go to the next room you have to load it into memory because of xbox 360, ps3, ps2, ps1, gamecube, psp, atari2600, mac, bsd lowest common denominator dependencies (or in market speak: A multi-platform shooter aimed at a wide audience).
More perpetual darkness with no concept of day time, because the invisble war terrorists decided to incinerate the sun with some nanotech sun obliterator.
You can finish the game in 5 minutes.
The game takes 15 minutes to load up.
You need 2 SLI geforce 7800's running at 800x600 to play the game.
Yeah. Something like that. *fires up DX1 while still being bitter*.
I know the parent poster was a troll, but why are you harassing a lawyer who's actually FOR open source? We have enough of them attacking OSS and patents and all that other crap, so what this one is "giving back" to the community is being a consumer who likes Linux, as opposed to Windows.
Maybe he should go back on Windows, and because of bitter guys like you ruining his day, he can help the fight against linux.
I'm just waiting for a game where you can strangle a prostitute with a bungee cord, and beat up a cop with strips of bacon. That will be the funnest game ever.
I think Postal 2 comes close to that, although it's not as fun.
In a movie, you're watching actors play the parts. In a game, you are playing the part. So Catholics and Christians could potentially say "This game is evil because you're allowed to beat on Jesus", especially if you get points or some sort of reward for beating on Jesus. And honestly, I could see their point for the game not being appropriate (i.e. it'd be just like a game where you're a nazi and you get to execute jewish people).
However, regardless of the innappropriate nature, I personally would not want something like that to be banned simply because it upsets people, because then it would just set a precedent and you would have people telling you what's appropriate and what's not.
Actually, my gf is very much against this whole hot coffee scandal, and we don't agree with each others point of view, but she did mention one thing that was interesting:
If GTA:SA had rabbis and jewish people, or other obvious minorities, then those people would be up in arms over racism (i.e. Hatians & Vice City), but the same is not true when women are being objectified and you're rewarded for beating down a prostitute.
San Andreas has this actually. When you drive to a location to do a mission, and then you die, you can skip that part by hitting a button when you do the mission again.
"Later that day..."
A clue as to why...

Their website lists their numbers as: "Tel: 00353 - (0)87 - "...etc numbers, so they're not in North America.
This: (Mon, 14 Feb 2005 16:57:12 +0000) also suggests a European country (I think). So maybe English isn't their first language.
Compare this to a Microsoft car, where opening your hood will land them in jail.
No need for thanks, to help is what I'm here for.
You've also seemed to have omitted the following:
Furthermore while you're driving your windshield is completely covered with advertisements (i.e. spyware), and when you get into a fatal accident due to these adverts, clippy finally pops out while your brains are oozing out of your head and he asks "It seems you've been in a near-fatal car accident and are unable to move while you barely cling on to your life, click OK to dispatch an ambulance.
Those parental advisory stickers were like a "cool" factor whenever I used to purchase CDs as a younger kid. Ice Cube, Ice T, NWA, CMW, yeah I listened to all of that when I was what...grade 7-8?
And I'm not yelling at the parent because he probably knows, but I just want to get the point across loud and clear: THERE WAS NO BOOBIE ACTION!
Fully clothe is what you got with that modification.
Now, with a naked skin mod, only then do you get to see something, and those are community created, Rockstar did not create naked skins. So these fucking politicians are just using this as an excuse for something, and this entire fiasco has been completely over-blown.
Actually no it wouldn't, but 8GB would be enough for an OS with a typical set of applications installed (minus games, which can be close to 4GB themselves).
I'd love to have a super quick HD for the OS because it's accessed more frequently than, say, some old data file you haven't touched in over a year.
Music, movies, documents, pictures - I don't think these need to be on solid state drives, because they're accessed just fine (except moving GB's of files still needs to be faster), but things like the OS and applications would seem to run a lot quicker if they would all be in ram-like storage.
What about all the material that they're going to miss NOW, while they're watching their pre-recorded shows? Who's going to record the shows they miss because they're watching pre-recorded shows? And when are those going to be watched? And isn't this going to lead to people just watching older and older stuff?
Sooner or later people will be going backwards in time, talkin' 'bout Threes Company!
Some people didn't like it, others loved it, I was one of the people that loved this game. It was probably moreso an action game, but there were still some adventure elements left in (some puzzle stuff). However I believe for the time, the graphics were decent and the landscapes and music were quite good!
A lot of phones out there seem to only be programmable from the telecommunications company. Want a phone number blocked? The company will do it for a price. Where's the programmable consumer product that handles 1-800 numbers, or private numbers (all that's customizable by the end user) and takes them differently, whether it's to have them just ring once, or automatically pick it up to leave a message of no more than 10 second length (to give a call back number, name, and organization)...so basically spam filters for the phone.
Where are these products? I haven't heard about them, so if they are around, the marketting is not being done properly! Where the hell is my cell phone that manages my minutes so that it alerts me EXACTLY how much my phone bill will be whenever I press a button, and the amount of minutes I used between the hours of 8am - 6pm?
To reiterate, the telephone and mobile phones in this day and age are ancient technology and there is a huge market for products that empower the consumer.
News Corp announced on Monday that it , owner of the popular MySpace.com social networking site, for $580 million purchased 5,800,000 $100 coupons for spyware removal tools for all of its employees, their extended families and friends, when the improbability drive from the Heart of Gold wizzed by News Corp's Think Tank, ripping a hole in the space time continuum of the CEO's brain.
I dislike it when such people fail to realize that the majority of people are capable of telling the difference between what is real and what is not. Regardless of whether you're a psycho in a video game, you still know that murder is wrong and you'd be punished severly for it. Anyone who cannot tell the difference between a video game and real life needs professional help.
"They know very well that if it said "Adults Only" these would not be displayed at a Target, at a Wal-Mart or any of the other video game (retailers), because they wouldn't be sold," Baca said in an interview."
I wonder if this is true. Since Wal-Mart's a business, and GTA games are one of the highest top selling games, would they not carry it because of an AO rating? I don't think so. It would take some sort of parent lobby group to do that (and then it would already be too late). 12-17 year olds would get that game one way or another, whether it's through older brothers, cousins, other family members, older friends, copies etc.

What the hell does non-monogamy have to do with software patents? Did I miss a memo?
Any Canadian would tell you so.
And GTA:SA never had that hot coffee mod turned on by default. It's the same as nude skins in The Sims s, which I assume is rated T for Teens.
The Sims 2 should get banned in Australia too, and a whole other list of games I'm sure someone else would provide here.
Big Brother, he is loving you, yes? Where is my spirits...

The sentence is correct, it just wasn't finished:

It was reported that hilarity ensued.
