how the fuck did i screw up my editing? oh well, maybe we can understand I didn't mean that Nintendo or MS had a corporate office in downtown Seattle, just Amazon does.
Seattle/Pacific Northwest, Western Washington is has a lot of tech companies. Guess where you do not find them? Correct, in downtown Seattle. In fact, you rarely find them in downtown any other cities around us, they are out in the suburbs. Microsoft, Nintend Amazon while it's headquarters are just off of downtown (in fact, just a few blocks away from me), it's warehouses are not in the city.
Also, the cost of buildings downtown are expensive. Rent is horrible. If i had a big company I needed workers for, I'd go to the outskirts and pay way less, be even able to buy the land instead of renting. And lets see, Nintendo did that, built it's place way out in Redmond, decades ago before there was the big population explosion we got in Seattle in the late 80's to 90's. Microsoft has it's campus in Redmond also, way the fuck away from everyone. Amazon doesn't have it's warehouses in Seattle, but does have it's corporate office, which I imagine has way less employees that any of their other buildings. Plus it's about 5 blocks from me. =)
Plus there is no room to park in Seattle, and I doubt that is any different then most major cities.
I'm going to point out any big ass company that decides to rent in a city for more $$$ then the outskirts of a city/suburbs is stupid.
I know I live in a basement and haven't ever actually talked to a girl, let alone put my hands on her a**e, which is good, because I don't have a fucking clue what her a**e is.
Due to your spying on customers with your other phone, and of course, MS getting the spying results, I'll stick with my Obama phone, which I know just the NSA is spying on. At least I feel safe knowing that they aren't trying to make money off me, they are just making sure I don't turn terrorist.
I found the lighting to be perfect and the duct tape mod to make the game far worse.
It was repetitive, just like every single FPS.
The story was Doom. This is not a con.
HL2 didn't revolutionize shit. HL did. HL2 was hyped to no end, but it was a generic, boring shooter. The "story telling" revolved around watching other characters do things while you stood around. It wasn't new or special, nor was the story worth a damn.
And Absolute Power Corrupts, mainly those who use "Secret Courts" and "National Security" as tools to get the power they want.
Yes, our government is rotten. The Congress critters, the Senators, the White House. They have failed us on mainly levels. They all need to be impeached and we need to get new peeps in there who remember that the United States is made of of it's citizens, not the corporations.
You want to play unfair? Well, Comcast, guess what? I can download what I want at a better quality then you can offer, so no need for your cable. Oh, you don't like people using Netflix? Well, fuck you then, I'll just download off usenet and torrents (via a vpn).
Quit being stupid greedy fucks. Forcing me to use your services by fucking with everyone else's services isn't stupid and very short sited. I might currently have to use your internet, but enough people are getting sick of bullshit that you pull and are doing stuff about it. And for the record, I will not use your services, ie, Cable TV/Internet Phone mainly because you pull bullshit all the time. Plus you are way too expensive for the quality and services you provide.
Cost for a single VHS cassette: these days, about $5
Cost in man hours for the paperwork, arresting, jailing, court costs and so on... into the thousands, maybe even tens of thousands.
Seriously, what petulant, power-lording fuckwit sought this action?
If you knew anything about how law worked, she was jailed because a bench warrant was issued due to her lack of response on returning the video. The Judges give the warrants and the police carry them out. So, they have no choice but to arrest her because of the warrant, even if the charges seem lacking. She could of avoided all of this back when and choose not to. Now the video rental cost her a night in jail.
See, chances are the charges about "stealing" the video will be dropped, because the Video Store company will probably not show up for a court date against her. But that didn't change that she had a bench warrant issued for her back when the store was still around.
What will happen is this: She will show up for the court date and the judge will dismiss the charges because of the age and that the video store is no longer around.
Had she bothered to take care of it back in the day, she would of gotten a fine and no jail time. But since she didn't, and they apparently don't have an age limit on those type of warrants, she got served the warrant when they found out she had one. And the warrants mean you get arrested and put in jail until you can go before a judge. So for her that was spending a night in jail for a video.
Many people dream every night. Statistically there would be many more dream worlds than real worlds. So therefore this world is more likely to be a dream world than a real world.
Except I know when I'm dreaming and when I'm awake. There is lots of clues inside dreams that they are dreams, you don't get those clues in the real (simulated?) world we live in.
I won't subscribe to cable, but I'll gladly pay WWE $10 a month for access to all their shows, Pay per Views, and back catalog of stuff.
While there is other stuff I like on TV (I download it anyways), I find the price of Cable TV to be horrible. But I'll gladly pay $10 a month for access to the few shows I like to watch, plus the PPV's that I never could afford (but downloaded the next day), and I'll get them in HD that is way better then any HD Cablecast has ever sent.
This is how we fight cable companies, when the various shows/networks decide stream it to you for cheap.
Being a male gamer, I can not get enough of uncanny valleys. The deeper the better, lots of bounce doesn't hurt. I remember my first glimpse of uncanny valleys in Custer's Revenge, but now with realistic graphics, I can finally enjoy uncanny valleys how they were meant to.
developer's B bug only existed because of developer's A bug? Who fixes B's?
This is what I was thinking - what if the builder's bricks were falling out because the mortar he used was bad?
All brick layers I have ever seen made their own mortar. If you have a brick layer who makes shitty mortar, get a new brick layer.
Much like if you have a coder who produces crappy code, get a new coder. If you have a compiler that makes errors, get a new compiler.
But what you are doing here is taking an example and trying to make it related when they aren't.
Developer A = Brick Layer 1 Developer B = Brick Layer 2.
Brick Layer 2 isn't responsible for Brick Layer 1's work, any more then Developer A is responsible for Developer B's work.
This is why you pay Brick Layer 2 money to fix the crap Brick Layer 1 did, and why you pay Developer B to fix Developer A's stuff.
If Developer A did a crappy job and you can't get him to fix his crap, you are Shit out of Luck, you are going to be paying Developer B to fix it regardless. You might later, be able to get money from a court settlement, just like you could might if you sued Brick Layer 1 because he did a substandard job. But unless and until that happens, you paid 2 developers/brick layers, or you have an unfinished project sitting there.
Honestly, who is picking up random shrooms and eating them?
"Hey dude, check this out, a mushroom" "I'll give you $10 to eat it" "Really? "*mushroom in mouth*" there, done, you owe me $10. Fuck, this tastes great, you should try one" "Really? give me one"
The US Government should just accept that because they are no longer follow the constitution, that the people of the United States don't feel like we should follow any laws anymore.
See how it works? You break the law and act like it's okay, we'll break the law and tell you to fuck off.
I was 12 or 13 when I told my parents I was no longer going to church and it was all a lot of bunk. At first it was an issue. Now 40 years later they don't believe anymore either. I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick.
When I was 15 I stopped getting involved in church because I was pretty sure Religion/God was a lie, and it was obvious the people in charge at church had different agenda's then religion. 6 months later I left home because it was the only way to get away from the religion and the crazy people who believed in it.
30 years later, I have figured out that people who believe in Religion are mental incompetent and obviously bad for humanity. But I also discovered that people who crave power (Politicians, Policemen) are generally the last people who should have power.

This is precisely the reason why WE (Americans/Europeans) have to stand up for what is right.
In Russia, cross the wrong person and you may find yourself in prison for a very long time.
At least, in the US and in the EU, we can still stand up for our rights.
For now. I'm sure they are working on changing that.

So where's my +5 mod?
Don't worry, I modded you up.

I use email.
Telegraph was good enough for my ancestors, it's good enough for me.
Might help if I actually learned Morse Code though....

Then maybe you should clean your basement up before you game.

I'm sure they *thought* it was safe, but why keep rare and precious objects there when you know there is a big problem ready to happen?

... Do you really think it's reasonable that the source code for Pacman, for example, will be protected by copyright until 2055 at the earliest?
I'm going to venture that the source code for Pacman and most of those era video games are long lost.
