Apples and oranges. You might as well say that ice cream sales are faltering because more people are buying burgers. A $10 bargain bin or budget game might give me 30 hours of entertainment, while a $10 movie might give me 2 hours, but its different type of entertainment so I'm not going to be choosing between them. So I'd end up watching 1 move and buying 1 game, instead of buying 2 games or watching 2 movies.
This was never supposed to be a demo, not if you believe all the press releases, previews, etc. They claimed this would be a completely free game, where you could use real money to customize your character's appearance, etc.
Automated land-cars would seem a more practical and safe approach (similar to the automated cars in the I, Robot movie.) Synchronized movement to avoid rubber-band stops and starts and traffic jams.
Heroes is about as scientific as the X-Men or Superman. It's a comic book on the small screen, and has little internal consistency, much less consistency with our laws of physics.

Can I get root access to your servers? I promise I won't turn over the contents to the cops!
Just don't do anything in the "privacy" of your own home that could be construed as indecent exposure, and you'll be fine.
Which Korean games promised that paying customers would get no advantages over the freeloaders, and then went back on that promise?
How about we just embargo those countries?

Death penalty? Where's the profit in that?
Mandatory organ "donation" by death rowers. (it apparently worked in Niven's future)

CFLs :
+ much more efficient, very long lifespan
The two CFLs (15W, spiraled) I've tried have both burned out within 6 months. Am I just unlucky or something?
Dude, just install MS-DOS 6, and you'll be able to run Duke 3D in its full 800x600 glory with an 800MHz CPU!
The suckers with the E6500 laptops will have to dial down the resolution though....
Anyone else think "MechWarrior 2" whenever they see the acronym?
Does it cost $10,000/lb?
Reminds me a little of another recent independent game, Osmos.
Hey, I just played the demo of that yesterday! Pretty neat concept and execution.

Nothing that can't be handled with a little time travel >_>
I guess more people need to watch Species.
Considering that there are more people living than have ever died
That just seems a bit unlikely to me. Link please?
I'd consider that a 20% difference myself.
Neither will there be good.
Small price to pay, collateral damage, eggs & omelets, etc.
I agree with you on actual emergencies.
However, are you willing to lose a few headshots to this? I could forgive them if it was this though.
Of course, the gold farmers aren't having fun.
Just how many "Socialist Values" does China have?
Once everybody dies, there will be no more evil. Problem solved.
but as it stand there are plenty of dumb asses volunteering to get blown up.
What about those whose tours of duty are up, but who are still forced to be there?
Same timeframe? You could actually keep a Win 95 system up and running for 24 days?
