Gauntlet had the craziest plot. There's this warrior, a valkerie, an elf, and some wizard who are all trapped in this dungeon. No one knows why, but they are, so they wonder around together, all rushing to eat the food and the potion and not shooting the food. These pixely monsters try to kill them, and every once in a while the exit will move. No one knows why. As time passes you slowly starve to death, and you are frequenly reminded by a ominious, omnipresent voice who provides commentary on the game.
"Wizard needs food, badly" and "Red valkyrie shot the food: make up happy memories for me...
You can gain the nerd vote a lot easier by getting out of Iraq then try to appease us with wiretapped broadband. Broadband is good, but I think little things like not having a trillion dollar debt would be a good idea to take care of first.
Indeed, our government recognizes that its enforcement powers are appropriate when protecting intellectual property and public safety. Recently, in a speech to the United States Chamber of Commerce, Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey, Jr. asserted that the Department of Justice should assist private enforcement of intellectual property rights if any of three criteria are met: (1) the level of piracy becomes particularly egregious; (2) public health and safety are put at risk; or (3) private civil remedies fail to adequately deter illegal conduct.
When would that be? People aren't going around killing each other with p2p applications, nor do I know how that is even possible. What a moron. Let's put the blame on terrorism, way to go.
It's because a lot of people here use openoffice.org. Microsoft feels compeled to insult openoffice.org by saying how wonderfully better MSOffice is. Several of their claims are questionably true at best. Thus, the openoffice.org users defend their product.
You can see how effective the last group of lawsuits was. I mean, RIAA.com has been down a lot, though it is up right now, anti RIAA t-shirts are the next cool thing, and people still share music in groves. Keep it up guys, take out the masses 500 at a time!
I mean, come on. This isn't going to work. They can't sue everyone in the country, and sampling has proven itself ineffective at best. They need a new strategy, if they ever hope to stem the tide. Legal alternatives may be doing well too, but sometimes you just can't be free. They should just give up and find some other way to increase sales. Perhaps they could make better albums.
I always wonder why they don't make two sets of servers, one with all kinds of cheats enabled, and a good set. The cheaters get to fight each other for best cheats, and the normal people enjoy a good clean game. Everyone wins.
It's good to see them enforcing their laws, but how could this new super-cool no cheating system fail so soon?
Heh, I liked the old days when you could speak directly to whoever you were owning on your gameboy because they were no more than 5 feet away. Those were the days... But with this two screened concept, you could message on one and game on the other.
Ooooh... awesomest...
I have a friend who went around charging 50 dollars to take the MS.Blaster worm off people's computers. This amateur computer repair field has great potential, as computers penetrate further and further into most bussinesses. Time is money, and paying some kid 50 bucks to fix a computer is often cheaper in the long run then spending 2 days doing it yourself. I plan to do the very same thing with a local company over the summer break from school.
I want to be a Digitician when I grow up.
but the workers in the vinyard really does illustrate this point nicely
For the uninformed, the story goes like this:
A farmer needed workers in his vineyard. He went into the city and gathered some workers, offering them some money to work for a day. They happilly agreed, being unemployed. Later he went back to the city and got some more workers, offering them the same amount of money to work for the rest of the day. He did this a third time before the day was over. When he paied all the workers, thie first group was upset because they had done more work then the others, yet recived the same pay.
So yeah, don't complain if you bought the emulator and now they are giving it away.
Score this thread for the ACs. Wow.
Most. Trolls. Ever! This one will catch the war in Iraq stories in no time!
Intel? Oh yeah. This doesn't really matter. They don't name cars based on miles per gallon or horsepower, but those are known. This isn't all that much different.
I suppose it's just trendy to bash Nintendo right now, even if the arguments for doing it can be easily ripped apart
Look, Nintendo is on the comeback right now. They are starting to pull well ahead of Xbox, and they have some of the best consle games around right now. THe only thing they are lacking in is FPS right now, and that has long been the domain of the PC. If you don't want to frag your buddies online, and not everyone does, the Gamecube is the system to have. Don't count Nintendo out just yet, BBC. I'm sure the PS3 will be cool, but to claim a winner before even the earilest hardware previews is pretty stupid.
somehow this happened.

How? What idiot would buy stock now? Microsoft, in a last ditch attempt to give them a shread of crediability? People willing to take a million to one odds that they win any of these lawsuits?
So much for all the people who bragged about knowing it was google.
*And of course, if they don't, I'm going to ignore it and hope no one notices:)
I noticed, mr. know-it-all.
Serously though, who would have guessed AutoZone. I didnt even know about them until today. Something tells me this will be a big advertiser for them.

So yeah, someone has to start a slashdot team. I mean, we owe it to them for destorying their site a while back.

Nothing to see here, move along...
When you use OpenOffice, God kills a puppy. Please, think of the puppies.
The same way they bust the rival services companies unions! iTunes local 113 just collapsed!
FYI == For Your Information.
You don't need to add "For Your" in front of FYI.
You don't need to explain the sarcasm in front of FYI...

In soviet russia, overlords welcome you!
Wait. desktop overlords welcome you... Post that again backwards and I'll try again.
ResearchandDevlopment and devlopment, eh? For Your FYI, you don't need to add devlopment after R&D.
Which is why you post 50% blatent lies to make a semi-decent blog. Can't get out of bed, met this awesome chick today, school is terrible.

For true. Still, couldn't they take other peoples money through a less sinful company? Enron, or something.
