Leo wasn't really a 'gaming' guy, so what we are talking about is a time when the network wasn't all about video games, but was really 'technology TV.' I do agree I'd have prefered the network back then, though the quality of news and product reviews would ALWAYS be sub par compared to reading on the net (howardforums, slashdot, etc.)
The only show I don't mind watching but was not on the list is Cinematech. It's really cool to watch scenes from games I'd never get to or to remind me of classic game moments I might have experneced myself.
That's really an assinine point of view. Reading numerous stories about people who are exceptionally experienced having installed linux and having to 'recompile the kernal' pretty much tells me that you need to be a C programmer to use Linux. I was once a long time ago but have a poor memory and no desire to re-learn C just so I can effectively use a Linux desktop.
What we are talking about is the government surpressing religious freedom and expression. Would you really like me to list examples?
OR are you of the mind that putting a Nativity scene in the public square, if paid for by a private entity, along side a Manora, is not legally protected religious freedom?
It doesn't matter. You have no evidence of any examples of anything you are talking about. Your politics are probably more informed by the West Wing and MTV News than actual fact.
Really? When have the conservatives stood up against religious censorship, when the religion in question was anything but Christian?
Because in the US that's the only religion that gets censored.
Although, conservatives have routinely stood up for the display of the Manora (spelling, sorry) and other religious symbols in public square or Jewish and/or Muslim based home schooling / community schooling programs.
Not being an anti-social, unconversant nerd (an AC to boot), I expect a more fuller and contextual answer. Perhaps the gentleman who brought it up might share some personal experience about it or provide some particular insight.
There is no 'scam.' Perhaps you should find the proper definition of the term on the net. I have a free Xbox and Ipod from them, and since anyone who helps me get the PSP gets an immediate payoff (I'm not telling them to also 'signup for a free PSP'), there is no scam. But that's probably beyond you. Don't you have a 'no war for oil' protest to go to?

Neither is your post. Go wash the sand out of your vagina.
Rather than whining, perhaps you should either: 1) push your banking system to get on the same page as the US OR 2) Start an MMO that accepts Euro payment. After all, if no one else accepts payment and there really is demand, you will be RICH!
You can't get a debit card attached to your bank acccount in Europe?
Can't you setup a paypal account (??which you probably already have??) and get them to issue you a debit card?
Correction FYI - the combined GDP of Europe is less than that of the US. Bigger reason to buy via the net? Not likely - less people to buy from, right?
Anytime a marketing department has an opportunity to make a number sound better than it is, they do. So if it was some landmark number of 'subscribers' - or better yet - 'subscribers for a full year' - was available, they would have used that term.
Instead, they chose the loosest term possible - 'customer' - that number probably means bought retail game box.
Amidst all of these fat, meandering multi-paragraph posts going into hyperbole, the post cut through it all with perfectly succinct slice.
It is just good writing. I don't claim to be a good writer, but I know good writing when I see it and it is rare talent. The type of mind that could formulate that indicates to me someone who either has talent or the ability to develop it.
Telling someone they are a good writer (especially something that has comedic value) is about the greatest compliment I can think to bestow on someone.
Anyway, to conclude this offtopic message: don't assume that someone can't type just because they don't type the way you do.Yes, especially given the lack of fingers caused by the supp referenced in your sig.

Eyeglasses were from either Northern Italy or China (dev'd about the same time). The triangular sail thing is about 1800 years ago (pre-Islam) and questionable if it came from there. They didn't originate astronomy - the Greeks did - though I suppose, again, about 1000 years ago. Irrigation was even longer before that (and man, then that's the only place people existed). Same stupid argument for the wheel.
The folks who did all of that are NOT the same people/ethnicity and more important, economic/government tradition of those who created these things that you mention.
Did I specify I meant within the last, say, 100 years? I'm just looking at Iran, Syria, Egypt, or any of these other kleptocracies and trying to see what advancements if any have come out of them within my, my fathers, or his father or his father's lifetime.
A typo that puts an "N" in place of a "B" suggests you do not know how to type (you are suppose to hit those keys with different hands) and that, indeed, the upgrade to SWG is indeed for you.
Not to rag on you. I appreciate hearing your point of view - I've never heard anyone push the game since the upgrade and it's made me a little curious to try the demo. Never played it.
You are a BIGOT! How do you know that the GP is a him or a her - could be a hermaphrodite or an artificial intelligence logging in from a military lab to try and get it's creators killed.
But whatever it is, it's definitly a sick-0 traitor who should be executed.
Right-o. Another great creation from the people who brought you ICQ and cures to more diseases than I can name. What more do you need to justify their existence on some desert area with no oil?
And what has ever come from the cesspool of death surrounding them other than an oil cartel and terrorism?
You are smarter than me on this subject, but doesn't the shape of the bullet also come into play? I have a 10mm. When I go to the range I use cheap standard bullets, but when I load it for home defense, it's hollow point. Goes in with a centimeter, comes out with a decimeter.
Can I get your mailing address? I want to send you a certificate for the most under-rated/. post in history.
Someone hit you with -1 flamebait?
This is why every time I see the metamoderate option (which I see every day), I race through it metamoderating everything down in hopes of terminating so many/. users mod rights that no one has points and they eventually they rethink the system.
You seem like a good kid so I'm going to school you.
First, when someone buys 'non-trivial' portions of your shares, they may actually own you. But if they don't, or even if they do, they don't depend on you at all for 'funding.'
With additional funding that comes from an IPO, you are betting that the games in your stable will be profitable enough to not sign your soul over to a publisher - you will negotiate terms more favorable to yourself by assuming more risk that the publisher would otherwise be assuming (in exchange for a much better return on the partnership).
It might also be something else - the cash is needed to get talent to be able to make that bet on your stable, or you want to become a publisher in your own right or fund an alternative publishing method (like Steam).
If a publisher did buy you out, that means you are really rich, which is the purpose of everything anyway, so mission accomplished.

I recently got my newbie industrial ship blown out of the sky (empty, mind you) in .3 space. Kinda sucks.
Other things that suck - needing bookmarks. It's a nusance issue where it takes forever to get anywhere unless you go get bookmarks.
Finally, there is no difinitive 'how to play eve' book. There is info scattered across numerous websites, but the CCP new player guide is awful.
Finally, you have no control over the design/color of your ship. You can't give it a certain paintjob or put a logo on it.

No, it isn't nearly as good as asking the person who used in a certain context to explain it. Search engines are not the answer to everything.
Ok you snob - nice answer but how about telling me what Kanji is?

Highest GDP/capita is irrelevant. Look at purchasing parity. They aren't near the top.

Ah - you know what a debit card is, right? You can even limit it to only accept that payment each month.
Instead, they chose the loosest term possible - 'customer' - that number probably means bought retail game box.
