Does anyone remember way back when, while Quake was coming out, and the over-board success of Dooom2.
If memory servers, John Carmack, Mr id., himself, once said 'that they are happy that there game is being pirated, because that means that so many people will want to play it. Eventually people will be happy to throw money our way'.
That came true in so many ways.
The whole foundation of their company is based on piracy.
Mod him up to a high 5 insightful.
This is a great way to make sure everyone gets to work on time, not to mention some shenanigans, maybe even some tom-foolery.
Yay google!
What if this like that silly-talking-shrub says is somewhat true?
If by doing this you save 10% of your energy bill, because you don't need to use your lights in the house as much?? If you leave the blinds open, you might also be helping to heat your house somewhat. All that good stuff. I have a big house, and any saving can help.
For everyones griping about how a slight deviation in their routine over a weekend none-the-less.
Unlike asking everyone to drive electric cars, this is relatively simple solution.
The other huge savings on the commute would be just to put six gears in everyones cars, this would allow the engine to run at a greatly reduced revolutions, putting out less pollution and using less gas over all.
But try to say that to the big companies.
>>You cannot take a 30-year-old factory worker that knows how to operate industrial machinery and train them to be a scientist. People are not interchangable widgits. They have their own limitations and mostly are working at the limit of their capabilities. You don't find math PhD's in factory jobs, at least not for very long
I never said anything about the idea that some-one with a lower Iq can do a job that requires that of a higher one. That would be silly. But you are trying to tell me that simply someone who works at a factory won't be able to take a welding or other suitable course? How about fork-lift driving? Or bobcat training??? Not everyone will want to be a programmer.
If the company left these people in a lurch, then these people might not know what option are available to them.
These all things that these massive companies don't provide.
I think what companies should do is re-train their employees, if they are moving out. If a steel-company thats been in your town for 40 years then decides to close, laying off thousands, they should at least help cover the cost of re-training their un-skilled or semi-skilled workforce. If someone is a mill-write, or an electronics engineer, they wouldn't be to hard pressed to find a work.
At least help for a welding course, or something along those lines.
I think that it could go even further. Just put up a voting booth, and allow people 3 or four options, like no, yes, -text/graphics/3 second ad to get in for 3 days. Things like that could go very far.
Here HEre!
Its amazing that most things that you see today was based on the machine. I won't go as far as to say that was the only game in town. But her..

Yes it did.. it knew that there was a floppy.
Pretty slick. I would try to put this amiga os on my laptop on a partition.
Gives me something fun to try.
As horrible and disgusting as this sounds, tis is something that I almost understand the why, but not much after.
There were a number of rogue nations, and groups, like the KKK, Hitlers youth, etc. etc. The recently held a conference in a mid-eastern state (Iran I believe). They were there to discuss the idea that the holocaust never happened.
They were in this country, to say that because of their Countries laws surrounding denying that this ever happened, or even to talk about in the streets, is trampling on their rights to free speech.
Like I said, I can understand why they are thinking like that. It stems that some ideas are better then others. I wonder if this is becoming like anything else that the more they try to tighten these people, the more these people will fight back.
I can understand why Germany is afraid of these white-supremacy ideas. The trouble is that you might force them underground even more, where you can't see them. Any time you arrest someone for something they thought, they become a martyr (in that sort of way).
I don't want hate speech either, but as long as it isn't acted on, there shouldn't be any reason to step on it.
In the game world is a reflection of what we do here. In some games, yah its nothing but fun. In others people are destroying what you created. But at;least both parties feel that they can stand for what they believe in. Thats the good thing, and no-one got hurt in the process. hmmmm Maybe someone should build a White-House, so we Canadians can come and burn it down again.
First, a bunch of 'real' hackers wouldn't need to come up with the money. They could just havk away, steal the money, give it to sealand, take the deed, steal the money back, and be the better for it.
#2; Wouldn't it be full of Sea-men at this point?> what about the families that live there? Would they be happy sailing with a Jolley-Rodger?? Or would they be allowed to be voted off the boat? Like survivor-cast-away thing?
There is a button on itunes that allows you to burn your files directly to a cd. Even if its only 4 times, how may times will you need? And again if you don't want any restrictions, and a much better quality, buy a cd.
And then copy it as many times as you want.
