According to their own site, it will be "fully modable", therefore, likely as modable if not more than civ4. Watching some interviews with the Civ guys, they love the modding community, and recognize its importance to the success to the series. Firaxis is one of the coolest game companies I know.
However, there was a more fundamental problem, in the minds of some internet service providers and powerful telecommunications companies. YouTube pays for the transmission of half that awesome amount of data it serves (in theory only, in practice it's less). The other half is paid by those who receive it, by way of the telephone company used to get internet access. The users may consider that fair, but the telephone companies saw the equivalent of newspapers being delivered using their vans while they see none of the advertising revenue. YouTube, and Google and Facebook and other big traffic destinations, they argued, should pay to reach those customers.
Now, think about this for a moment. If I am renting a van from you, paying what you asked for mileage, filling up the tank when I brought it back, etc... why should I give you more money for using it to deliver newspapers, than if I used it to pick up a couch and bring it back to my place?
Seriously, where the hell did they think up this analogy?
Actually what caused the great depression is that the market started getting rocky, so everyone pulled their money out at the same time... something which the banks were unable to do. And it turned into a cascading failure. Its a fine system if you can avoid mass hysteria.
High school economics. Lemme break this down for you, and anyone else who slept through that class.
You deposit $100 at the bank.
The bank sets $10 aside as a reserve
The bank loans $90 to bob, with interest
Now, while you still have your $100 (its in the bank), there is someone else running around with $90. Therefore, since you started with $100, and now there is $190 in the economy, $90 was created by the bank.
And just because bob eventually has to pay it back does not stop it from being created in the first place.
I was collecting State Quarters. Traveled from the West coast to the east, where they saved a bunch of coins from the Philly mint for me. I put them in an M&M minis tube (perfect size!) and tossed them in my luggage. Got my bag swabbed. Guess it looked like a stick of dynamite.
He can, however, be forcably removed by a bus. All mafia jokes aside, if something like that were to happen, Gabe wouldn't be in much of a position to push for the magic patch to be released. Would the next CEO be willing to do this for the steam community?
Well, I can't remember going to an "Adobe and the Photoshops" concert, and buying a few t-shirts and beers while I was there. So, even if I ripped-off a few disks (CS2 was a GREAT album), I can still show the band direct support at a concert.
Making legacy controllers compatible with current systems would be a great way to fund these goals.
$10-20 would get you any controller you want, that connects to USB version n, or w/e.
Have you tried sending the team there an email? Its very easy when making a website to miss such nuances, especially if the person who created it trained themselves via googling, rather than took a college course.
In fact, I appreciate the comment you left, as I would likely use green/yellow/red dots or backgrounds to show this information, but now would consider other colours. I know red/green colorblindness isn't too uncommon, but I didn't think of green/yellow.
Make sure you give the computer with remote administration capabilities pre-setup and tested. Be prepared to be called with questions, and remote desktop can save you a LOT of time when grandma discovers popups. Or when something inevitably goes wrong.
Telco's do, however, have a responsibility to say "Sure, as soon as you give us a court order, we'll get right on that." If they don't, then they are waiving the right to your privacy for you, and they are just as guilty.
Since the world population is continuously increasing, so is population density. And as more people have to fit into the same space, "owning" a few relics like books will be less common. One may have a nice display, a bed, a shelf of things like books or toys, and leave everything else to be stored digitally.
It is definately worth your time to read some old science fiction (like Frakenstein or older) and see how much the future can change things. Buildings over two stories? Impossible! Now, many people live in multi-story apartments. It may not change in our lifetime, but I think it will eventually come.
I recommend watching the documentary by the same name. It can be quite interesting to step back and see how something as innocuous as a font can effect things on a large scale

This is what happens when you type 3 minutes before leaving for work.
Best example I know of.
Firewall had a scene with the main character analyzing a network intrusion bu looking at odd packets in wireshark (now ethereal).
Accurate, and it looked good on screen.

Because "iSlate" sounded a heck of a lot better.
Yahoo. They tried on that one.
That one is easy. Just give a beer with a "please set the coffee maker" postit on it to whoever works sundays.

But... he said he'd never run around or desert me. The liar!
Alternately: send them a bill for taking it down. DMCA says you have to enforce it. Doesn't say you have to do it for free.

In other news, the Internet is seeing the government as damage and routing around it.

Must live in europe..
Plus, paying an extra 20% is a bit of a kick in the pants.
That, and email is so cheap, that 1 response out of 12 million emails is still a good profit.

MechaGodzilla? I think he's on their side this time.
