4. Have the developers listen to the end users. Bring them in on those call and let them sweat it out as the end user calls them an idiot for making the process so convoluted.
this is good, but you will absolutely need to get the developers to a point where they won't be over-protective of their (sometimes terrible) UI decisions. Same goes for the end-users, they need to be able to say something better than "It sucks"... e.g. "it sucks because I have to click through these three levels of context menus to get to the 'write my own SQL query' option"...
I hate to see whatever credibility we have spent on things like this.u can be here to see the details http://bit.ly/oZvFCE

you're half the GP's UID, and you're just now catching on that you don't click links in the posts?
I'd normally go with "you must be new here"... but that's not the case now, is it?
On-topic... if these metal cell membranes work out, does that mean we can walk around like Colossus?
According to the TV documentaries I've watched it wasn't the hydrogen that caught fire and caused the accident. The fire started when static electricity sparked across gaps in the outer covering which had been coated with a highly flammable substance. So, hydrogen actually has a rather good safety record.
This would require the Executives to have an IQ above 82.
Currently it is a requirement that to be an MPAA or RIAA executive you must have a IQ no higher than 85 AND have suffered repeated serious head injuries.
One life and thats it, the game is over? You wont win very many fans that way
You say that, but I used to play EVE Online like that.
I had a personal rule that if the character died, I would transfer everything to the person that killed me, recycle the body and start a new character from scratch. That rule was listed in the bio of my characters so everyone could see it.
Certainly, it wouldn't have been to everyone's taste and it really slowed my characters development because I often had to turn down more profitable jobs as the reward didn't justify the extra risk I was taking on. That said, it certainly added a lot of tension and stress to the game. I've always been frustrated by the lack of consquences in games like EVE.
your stuffs, I can haz? =)
Regardless of your assertion that EVE had "no consequences" to death, they're significantly higher than the likes of WOW...
none. They'll find a reason to curse the IT guy for allowing them to go to the cloud in the first place... regardless of the fact he was vehemently against said idea and was fired for saying as such.
The stop condition is "when a fucker that fucks someone that ain't fucked over anyone, in a particularly upsetting manner, in recent memory, gets fucked, the fucker fucking this fucker doesn't deserve to be fucked."
It's simple. A child could understand it.

It's like people who spell "led'" like "lead" because they've seen it that way so many times...
When the guide was injured, she took the lead and led the hikers out of the woods ^_^
...but there's no pressure on the government when there are no voters shouting into phones that their river just caught fire.
though it may take a few occurrences before people take notice ... e.g. the Cuyahoga River ...
except that the brown coats were the good guys...
Would be more interesting if they named it "Joshua".

Or you're planning a zombie apocalypse, and need to make sure you're releasing the zombies in the middle of the night...
That's... INCONCEIVABLE.

1. A Fremen-made stillsuit
