Digital watches? button mania has infected consumer electronics since the overloaded buttons of digital watches. These are not intuitive. I still think they're a pretty neat idea.
I've loved all Civ's and improvments that have come with new versions. I've played a some Age of Empires, but mostly I'm for strategy genre games. When thinking about action packed CIV, I get this mental image of Defender of the Crown + Risk + CIV. A lot of large scale micromanagements task done to your cities, but once on war with neighbouring region, of you got with your catapult blasting defending cities walls(or castles).
it would propably take something out of the management side of CIV, but honestly, I'd like to command my armies to battle field taking world piece by piece RISK style.
I'll just have to wait what they will produce and hopefully be a happy camper. Have you tried Rise of Nations? It's like a combination of Age of Empires and Civilization. And, it has the RISK style gameplay you describe.
Ahh yes, the classic "Your shoes are untied" - one of the greatest comedic moments possible in any person's life. That one, like this one, is fall on the floor, run-out-of-breath-laughing funny for the same reason this one is - it's so very intricate and full of second and third level auxillary meanings and Nth degree levels of intricate plotting and cleverness.
If anything, I'd say you're underselling "Your shoes are untied." I know "Your shoes are untied" - I've utilized it and comprehended it in all its thrilling vibrancy. This, my friend, is no "Your shoes are untied." To compare it to "Your shoes are untied" is to belittle the wonderful work "Your shoes are untied" has done throughout the ages to bring rich, fullfilling laughter to our lives.
Yes, we do need more education about copyright but your view of it is completely one-sided. It's very possible that people would be less respectful of copyright if they were taught more about it. You, it seems, have been conditioned to think that copyright exists solely for the benefit of the creator. It doesn't. It exists for the benefit of society.
The deal was that content creators would get a limited period of control as an incentive to create works that would then go into the public domain. Increasing the time limit tenfold, and continuing to increasing it so that nothing will ever enter the public domain is clearly breaking that deal. When companies have used a loop-hole (that infinity-1 qualifies as "limited") to completely violate the sprit of a law, is it really surprising that people don't respect it?
Do we support this behavior (DJ Danger Mouse) or do we not (the example above)??? How about we support those who give fair credit (DJ Danger Mouse) and not those who try to pass it off as their own work (the example above).
He said that episodic games could never compete will full-priced products. 'They're competing against massive marketing budgets. Distribution without marketing is worthless. You can't buy retail marketing with a wholesale price of $15.' He added, 'Full-price games have a cohesive start, middle and end.' Rein acknowledged that the game industry already has an episodic model through game sequels, such as Madden, Zelda and Final Fantasy. He said these work because they are full-price and backed by marketing.
So, he doesn't like cheaper games with less content, but he does like full-price games with less content. Shocking.
Second of all, there is room to have a game where there is a single commander per team, and people can jump into vehicles/units and control them, taking direction from the commander like any other unit, or ignoring them.
People interacting in virtual MMO worlds is completely unnatural and unhuman... he says using electrons speeding down a wire. Man, is your irony-meter broken? This may be the wrong place to decry virtual communication.
So what? Free speech isn't about escaping the consequences of what you write. It's about freedom of expression.
What an odd idea. What is freedom of expression then, other than not having undue punishments for your speech? By your logic no government has ever restricted speech. People are still free to say whatever they want, but they shouldn't expect to avoid the punishment of being arrested.
If he was being punished for writing "I disagree with this professors political views" or "I disagree with his teaching methods" then, yeah, we'd have a reason to be outraged.
So, we should have no free speech except for a few pre-defined areas? Yeah, this guy vents about an unnamed professor to his friends and gets probation and 100 hours of community service. That seems fair.
Ah, the good old Priorities Troll all dressed up. Let me ask you this: are you, as a human being, actually *entitled* to bicker with people on slashdot, while others barely survive?
It's not even hypothetical. What you describe is exactly how Mac OS does it.

To say that you prefer it over e-mail means that you prefer to communicate with people who are also sitting around waiting for the beep of their IM client.
And preferring the phone over writing letters means that you prefer to communicate with people who are also sitting around waiting for the ring of their phone.
Not to be trollish, but I don't see the difference (unless you think phones are also for shortsighted twits).

He didn't say it's a hoax, he said it runs into conflicts of interest. You'll notice he put it together with heliocentricity.

On closer inspection, these are loafers.Yes, we do need more education about copyright but your view of it is completely one-sided.

But it comes with a free Frogurt!
I think the OS X Services Menu can do just what you describe. It seems underused though.
Second of all, there is room to have a game where there is a single commander per team, and people can jump into vehicles/units and control them, taking direction from the commander like any other unit, or ignoring them.
Savage is exactly what you describe.
Legal Torrents is quite good. Creative Commons-licensed music, movies, books, and such.
Only on Slashdot could we be personally offended by astrological naming conventions.
We're not using the Z-word!

Yeah, it's too bad you can't use it two handed.

Just run it under a cold tap.
Ah, the good old Priorities Troll all dressed up. Let me ask you this: are you, as a human being, actually *entitled* to bicker with people on slashdot, while others barely survive?
Ok, you got me. I should really learn not to feed the trolls.
I'm going to assume you made those figures up unless you have a reference.
The Mac has been forced into releasing lower-priced computers just to compete...
First Apple gets flamed for not providing a low cost computer, now that it does it's a sign of its impending doom.
What is that even supposed to mean?
The fact that Apple has the most popular MP3 player is another sign of its impending doom.
Meanwhile Linux's stock price just goes down and down.
Linux doesn't have a stock price.
Wow, that's actually pretty clever. I wish I had done that intentionally. I was just being a smart-ass.
There is also a little known OS that makes use of them. It's called, I believe, OS Ecks.
It's not even hypothetical. What you describe is exactly how Mac OS does it.
And preferring the phone over writing letters means that you prefer to communicate with people who are also sitting around waiting for the ring of their phone.
