In the next rpg, instead of shops selling potions, why not have this fantasy world be littered with wal-marts with Gatorades to replenish the characters? I won't stay at an inn, I'll stay at holiday inn. heck, why ride chocobo's when the local Honda dealership is selling atv's on the cheap! No more casting haste, instead drink a star bucks coffee! No airships, but better southwest airships.
i wont use magic, i'll use industrial light and magic!
ok, you win the arguement regarding death etc... i'll put more thought into my next statement on life
i still think he brought this on himself it was a shitty things for those kids to do, there's no denying that still starwars kid could have prevented this
no, that is contrary to what i said. you are responsible for yourself, and what you bring on yourself, not any one else
this kid left something he obviously did not want others to see in a public place. the defendants did not break into his locker or steal his backpack. he made a horrible and embarrassing mistake, and he should pay for it, not any one else
he should not "take others with him", and that is not my message. take responsibility for your actions. god forbid we expect people to be accountable for what they do.
had made of himself and left on a shelf in the school TV studio
case solved. plantiff guilty or embarrassing himself. we should not reward stupidity or accomdate it. the more accomodation, the more it appears. now this child/moron has learnd when things go against you, sue
"It's no fun what happened here, but that's the problem with the Internet. Things travel fast."
i believe thats a feature, not a problem. if it was as slow as the postal mail no one would use it for what it was designed...to quickly transmit data
at the risk of sounding un-sensitive, life sucks then you die. deal with it like everyone else or fast forward to the end
lets hope offline
i don't fantasize well with others unless it's my girlfriend but even then when our two fantasies don't meet in the middle it gets really, really akward. just the other day we wer. . .
wait what were we talking about?
And would the divorce of IE7 from Vista's Windows Explorer help?
maybe, but i still recommend divorcing windows entirely. i've loved computers before (not sexually... you perverts!) but not until my power book did one love me back...
...someone who's taken neither a civics nor microeconomics course
Half right. Never took a civics class.
I agree that in some cases it is necessary, however, i don't see how this situation qualifies. My profession is neither in economics nor civics, but i still find it hard to believe that it's not economically feasible, nor how competition would not serve a social good here. ICANN is giving exclusive rights and allowing "VeriSign to increase the price of domain name registrations by 7 per cent in four of the next six years"... the article does not provide any information about any checks and balances against these raises, save that they are below 7 per cent
do you believe that, in this situation, a monopoly is the best choice?
Innovation
Function: noun
1 : the introduction of something new
2 : a new idea, method, or device
3 : (buzz word) a term used to loosely relate to 1 & 2, primarily to manipulate an audience into favoring whatever someone who wants something is talking about. Often used to deceive a less informed audience and scare them into compliance
It is usually used in FUD, commonly preceded by the word(s) "stifle" or "hurt" or "slow" or "KILL". Other uses are to "hype" a mundane/trivial feature and or addition to something which usually isn't very spectacular to begin with.
See:
"We need a multi-tiered internet ($$) as to not stifle innovation."
"Aero is innovative"
"Piracy slows innovation"
"Communism hurts innovation"
"Terrorist kill innovation"
"Open source stifles innovation"
"insert item here does not benefit or is inconvenient to me, therefore it stifles innovation"
But they'll just fire everyone instead.
unless you work for state/federal government. we have all the "inane, absurd and incompetent" (on a larger, more incompetent scale) without that "get fired" thing

"Halo 2," the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto PCs exclusively for Windows Vista. "Halo 2" for Windows Vista will be developed by a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team in partnership with Bungie Studios. "
someone please explain how Halo * 'redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action'. improved? sure. redefinded? eh... almost like "windows 98 redefines windows 95!!"
also, "Halo 2...will be developed by a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team...with Bungie Studios". i belive bungie made the first one, aka "the instant classic 'Halo: Combat Evolved'" with out 'a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team'... and if i'm not mistaken (could be..)they made the second one with out them as well.... so it's not broken, don't fix it.
lastly, 'expoldes onto' might paint a different picture to the *stereotypical* youth-gamer. kinda funny picture really... master chief... exploding onto vista...
nevermind forget that

seem too MS friendly to be genuine /. posts
perhaps you are here by mistake?
you must not have one

what was the last good thing that came out of exclusive control of something?
But they'll just fire everyone instead.

i seem to remember something called avalanche that was supposed to smoke bit torrent. like TWICE AS GOOD...
"basically trying to move the industry forward..."
and change the issue to "DRM vs. piracy" etc. etc.
instead of the ususal "turning over critics of the chinese government to authorities" etc. etc.

i feel that modern day business (in capitalism atleast...) is less about being ethical, and more about not-getting-caught-being-un-ethical.
similar to college-like thought: it's not illegal unless you get caught...
