I'm shocked that no one has mentioned SOCOM 3's credit card farming^Wverification system yet, which has gotten thousands of CC numbers from SOCrack addicts* who consider their clan/friends list system the only real way to play.
Sure, it's Zipper Interactive doing it, but (like the XCP discs) Sony publishes and "presents" the damn product. I think the fact Zipper enticed people to give them a CC and address made Sony's heads swell and set them towards the XCP route. They thought they could do anything, and they still hope to (see Top Questions, #10).
I'd answer that question, but your reply came to me as "I, Douglas Adams, the Galactic Words Transmitter, shall wage a costly and aortic battle against your history class." I must now fight you to the death.
"...MASTOR recognizes both Mandarin and English, automatically translating what it hears into the other tongue, so two people who speak different languages can have a conversation."
Combine it with an Arabic<->English translator (which I'll call BADR) and you get a rather oddly-named product that has great potential in the UN, the MASTORBADR.
Hooray for patents with specific language. That covers everything but the kitchen sink (and that too I'm sure, if you open and shut its faucet in a signal-transmitting matter, and put something in the drain to monitor the code...).
I try to use PNGs for everything. Unlike JPEGs, PNGs can be lossless, meaning that they don't lose quality each time you save them. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, heck just about every web browser except lynx can display them just fine.
Apparently they don't have the balls to risk real money. By enforcing their IP, they force the "offender" to pay them or risk paying more; CLI would win either way. With a real product, they might win or lose.
If you're a girl, I'd marry you. If you're a guy...I'd marry you.
It's sad I haven't seen much more than such recollections of these games. Judging from the quality of the selections, I gotta see this Crystalis you speak of. Looks promising.

Are you sure that's what you meant to say? That sounds like terrorist talk to me.
Never has a sig applied so well to its parent post.
You've got a good point. People may not care about words like "fancy", but *turns to Google* if you're gonna make local ads, know the local culture, and don't rely on it to sell your ads, because any part of our culture you get wrong will be swiftly noticed (see parent post).
It's kinda tough. He assimilated me with his Express Editions and Windows XP and the like, and with Microsoft putting proverbial bullet holes in competitors and patching security holes in said Windows...I'd go with a shotgun-toting Borg.
A phone? That works? Why should I perform expensive, time-consuming testing to accomplish that, when I can instead offer random audiovisual experiences, include appealing technologies and drive competitive pricing while increasing market exposure?

Well, there are treatments available for monkey-slapping-induced blindness... ;)

...know such things... ;)
As a small added bonus, PNG was the first W3C Recommendation (in 1996) (see the REC). It came well before their HTML 4.0 (1998). But I guess Slashdotters already knows such things... ;)

So much for businesses with self-esteem...
They better not start suing the guys behind the GIMP, or I'll have PWN3D!!1 pictures of the CLI execs up here by cross-examination time.
...in the much-less-encumbered PNG format of course.
Wait, their players actually play those (save from very recently)?
See above...sort of.

I know. Teaching young girls the "powerful, gratifying" joys of working by themselves just doesn't sound right...
