Well, sir, it's obvious that you don't know how Capitalism works! The model is: create something that looks good on paper, sell to a bigger fish, then escape to the Caymans and chuckle condescendingly when you see your old company evaporate in a cloud of "rightsizing".
It's people like you who are going to ruin this country and give capitalists a bad name, mark my words.
Now compound that by saying that you can ship your raw milk overseas and get back pasteurized milk, instantly, at a nominal charge, for much less than you could do it locally.
The process of pasteurization is dead...in this country.
The Ownership Class here dances a jig...until there's a hitch in the other country (all your gurnsey's belong to us). How do you force compliance? Go to war?
Why do I get the feeling that I'm living not just Science Fiction, but in "The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" (Neal Stephenson)? True education is subversion, because true education will give you the tools to challenge the status quo.
It's called the fine art of Negotiation. Management starts out with "You're paid way too much!" and Labor replies with "No way! We're paid way to little". Then they meet in the middle. Unless the Ownership Class has decided that most of the jobs are going to India anyway.
for the MTV generation. "Old Fashioned" relationships have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And they require an effort. MTV relationships are like the bubbles in Diet Coke: bright, small, and quickly gone. Relationship go sour? Just open a new account with a new handle! No messy "reputation" to consider.
Yes. I am an old fart. And just as guilty, believe me. I'm posting to/., aren't I?
Ah. There you go. The game is Wildly Successful in Merrie Olde England. So the grandfather post is guilty only of being American (Muhammed! Jihad! Durka, Durka!) . And the AC of being a stuck up British twit The link was helpful, though.
Interesting. Looks like it combines geocaching (?), trading cards, and the online element. The originator must certainly be a Scot or an Irishman...
Gives me the inspiration to start my own game: "Mugger's Paradise"...
It takes place in distressed American Northeast urban areas, natch...:D
And all of those people in "The Matrix" lead happy, contented lives, completely unaware that they were being used. Problem was, any one of them could be "Agent Smith'd" at any asvn;sc;' v./.........
You must be working in a "good" part of the country, though. Here in the Delaware Valley, right after the Bubble burst, the only job I was able to get was at 22/hr:(. I'm still not making too much more than that, all things considered.
And yes, I'm a programmer, and I have a master's degree in computer science:(

DON'T DO IT! He's trying to seduce you to the Dark Side!
and worth every stinking penny. I love this game!

Dyslexics should not do science?
Yet another fabulous story. Wasn't there a move out based on that, too?
Damn, nothing stays around for long, does it?

First George Orwell, now this. Where does it end?
That's just what "They" would want us to think!
crimethink!
That's doubleungood.

...when Microsoft issued the PC based HALO 2 at full price. After being out for over a year for XBox.
Excuse me? Full price for an old game?

I gave up around book 4. If you can't save the universe in three books you're just milking it. The first three were good, though.
Agreed, RIP.
Why do you hate America so much!?! ;)
If a botnet is a network of hosts taken over by malware, then is a zomnet a network of people taken over by a hostile meme? We report, you decide.
A Mind Meld would be much more logical...
Best. Post. Ever!
And that bad dialog is, perhaps, the greatest threat!
Well, duh! A politician!
I'm still waiting for the CTL-Ia CTL-Ia CTL-Ftagn! command!

Where we go through this cycle of trying to take evolution out of the curriculum because it offends certain religious groups here...

Nothing to see here, citizen. Just move along.
Your argument has the "Ring of Truthiness" to it! :D
are we wasting time on this Minion of Microsoft. If OS/Linux is dead, why is M$ saber-rattling (or, should I say, patent rattling)?
Typical M$ FUD. Nothing to see. Move along, citizen.
Hey, I'm impressed. Very nice, thanks :D
:(. I'm still not making too much more than that, all things considered.
