£200 is VERY low for a graphic design standard LCD monitor. You need to be looking at paying twice, maybe even four times that for a decent GD monitor.
The ad agency I work at all use LCD for their print work, but none of them are cheap. You CAN get more than substantial flat screens, but you have to pay a premium, just like if you want a GOOD CRT.
Well, if it's treated as a business, you would only be paying tax on the 'profit' you make. In your example, you would be 25 in deficit.
I think the larger scale concept is that it should be treated like the real world - you work day to day job in game, you pay income tax - you buy products, you pay Sales Tax/VAT.
The thing is, none of this could really function as every game is like a 'country'... it has it's own money laws and systems just like the US has it's own. I feel it should just log how much goes in, and how much comes OUT, and if you make a profit, tax is paid on that, just like any other job.
The UK is basically the same. Work at any ad/web/print agency and you're subjected to endless long hours too. That's why I do contract... so I can at least *charge* for the stupid hours:-)
No, I definitely agree there - the smarts, given their sizing and shape are definately better off than a sports car - my MG Midget I drive is literally smaller in height (and I'm talking top of windscreen, not bonnet) than some wheels of articulated lorries... so could almost literally be 'run over' in the worst case of crash.
But then, if you drive a sports car, you know the risks. I more object to generally oversized trucks being used for commuting, and endangering the lives of pedestrians. Or just having a bull bar which is the same height as a Renault Clio driver's head.
The thing is, as much as I hate the look of the smart car, they are absolutely brilliantly designed. You CAN fit 2 people in them comfortably, and they DO have some storage. This 'clever' seems overengineered, far too complex and lacking any sort of practical merit. At the end of the day, no matter how small your car is, if it's not a motorcycle, you are still restricted by using a whole lane, plus the courtesy of changing lanes intelligently (i.e. squeezing into gaps is just dangerous), and leaving space all around you.
The clever just seems to be stunted by all these general logistical driving problems, and my tiny little 1972 MG Midget with 2 seats, a decent sized boot, a stupidly small turning circle and ample maneuverability seems like it would take the same driving footprint as the 'clever'. And it's light enough to have a low emissions engine shoved in it.
It's not about one being safer than the other (the smart cars ARE very safe, and SUV's etc are often rather unsafe in comparison). It's the weight and height difference that means that you're likely to get absolutely pummeled by the chassis of the truck if it crashes into your smart car.
Virtualisation often works in much the same way as dual boot; i.e. you have a seperate partition, and it loads core windows components off that. It's pretty bloody hard to get a virus from one platform to the other. I'm sure there's a car analogy somewhere here...
And am not exactly a fan of the Us Government, but you've got to be a bit of an idiot to 'test weaknesses'/hack the Us government's property. they're not gonna take it lying down are they?
it's true that a lot of good british development has died in the past 5 years. Rare didn't run out of ideas... they lost most of their key developers... just look at how most of the key Goldeneye lot left to form the timesplitters team.... it's sad, as rare really were amazing at their peak.
Obviously there's no need to 'act silly', but from observing my two kids (7 and 9 now) when spelling and reading, they still don't always understand how a word is formed because they've compiled it as one. Some words *do* need breaking down, some don't.
It's not to simply 'learn to talk' that people speak to their kids like that. It's a good idea to deconstruct words like that so that the kid begins to understand the logic of constructing different sounds, rather than treating a word as one sound.
Are you utterly retarded? It would be perfectly possible for Nike to build and maintain their own factories in these countries where they enforce fair working rules and environments. But they don't.
It is Nike's responsibility as supposed human beings to prevent sweatshop attitudes.
Just because something is made overseas, it doesn't mean that it should be made in sweatshops, which Nike continues to use. There is such thing as an overseas, ethical, well maintained factory. The profit margins Nike makes on it's shirts through using cheap labour are sickening.
I do the same. I love their letters. Some are designed to look like debt letters etc, but worded carefully as to not ACCUSE you of anything, just 'suggest' that you 'might' be breaking the law. They're fantastic. Naturally, I throw them in the bin.

I found a perfect solution to that feeling; I've never bought one :-).

If it's any consolation, I felt like I'd wasted a few minutes of my life watching that video. I don't see what the big deal is.
The fogging is also dire.

Finally! A car analogy!

Also, the 225 referred to kmph, not mph like the 125. Good marketing there....
Same. My 6 (nearly 7) year old boy absolutely loves the GC

I think he was making the point that a Catholic is a Christian, but a Christian is not a Catholic
I'm no sort of fanboy and can't stand the xbox apart from for XBMC. I've seen no proof of any performance, just press releases.
But in reality it's not that fooking great and it's the same hype as the bloody 'emotion engine' of the ps2. Ugh.
