  1. They will increase the tax on the land you own, or tax the landowner that you are renting from (increasing your rent). Its a finite system. there are a few ways to win, but as far as a scalable solution to pay less tax, it would only provide short term savings if "everyone" was to do it.

    Some languages reverse tje use of the period instead and the comma. The French definitely do it. Makes it a bit confusing I suppose, but the the groupings of 3 0s is a good indicator.

  5. Re:Not like Apple on Kongregate App Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 1

    The censorship issue is one thing, yes both companies apparently care about what they agree to distribute through their "Apps" service, and I personally agree that both companies should have the ability(or right) to control what they supply through their portals. I find fault on the issue of device ownership and what you are supposedly "allowed" on the device. To me it appears that the google approach seems more like the pc market, which I'm used to (buy device, put what you want on it, with some restrictions) but it's more complex because google doesnt create all the devices, just the OS. Where as apple (mobile stuff) is not quite so accomodating with respect what you may want to put on it. Oh, I didn't say it "was" breaking a law, just that the possiblity exists, and yes apple shouldn't honor a warrenty if the the device is tampered with, the risk is too high, but then that leaves you not having an app you may want which is what I was saying, "they make it Hard" to get an app you may want. In the end, it just business philosophy, and the apple, with all their restrictions and crap I dislike, seem to have made a good choice on how they want to run their company, at least finacially.

    Actually, Apple is saying to you " We don't like it, so we will not distribute it and we will make it hard and possibly cause you to break the law or your phone or your agreement or your warrenty to have it"

    silk worms are quite plump, If said individual does try this, and tapes enough of them on, perhaps the worms could break the persons fall. if each Silkworm (Sw) has a force absorption of ..........( lots of pseudo math and physics and bogus assumptions)... then approximately 64k of them should be enough for anyone to safely try it :)

    anonymous coward is saying that "If you are willing to write a game engine frome scratch ( for the PC), there are not licensing fees". So hes agreeing with you, but pointing out that: - Most Game developers pay for a Game engine via licensing Fees

  12. Anyone heard of Roblox? on Building the LEGO MMO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My 12 year old plays it, a lot. I can't get into it (it seems horribly broken sometimes), but they have managed to keep it fairly clean, the chat hasn't yet gotten out of hand, some of the creations are quite nice, and my son can now type about 60-70 wpm. Its crazy the number of Games kids have created, and the apparent ease that a kid can pick up the tools and get creating. Its even getting my son interested in Lua scripting, which is quite neat.

  19. Re:The most exciting PvP experience I've ever had on EVE Online PVP Tournament Streamed Live · · Score: 1

    I've been playing a game called Armada Online (think Armada from the Dreamcast) for the better part of 6 months. Just a top down space MMO space game, Free ( as in beer) and the game is full of suprises. It has some nice features, decent customizability, great ( IMHO) PVP (team and solo) some entertaining PVE and Crafting ( which is both rewarding and oooh so disappointing). The PVP ( once you've gotten a decent understanding of the game/ship abilities) is quite intense, there is quite a bit of team work needed, tactical decisions as well as over all strategy required. It takes a few weeks to really get an appreciation for the game, but worth it in my opinion. Oh, newbs are welcome, noobs are swarmed :) Open areas include: Haven ( pve) Delta 3 (Pve) Malestrom( PVE+PVP) Nexus ( PVP) The Burn(PVE) Netural Zone( PVP)
