    These were improvements you were making, correct?

    Seriously though, move to California. If you already live there, don't worry - non-compete clauses like that don't fly here.

    Alternatively, you could sign the contract in XYZ state, then move to California, at which point it will be unenforceable.

    No, you are around some of the smartest people... during class. Off hours, do you really want to be around a bunch of smart asses? Either you are going to be at your computer doing homework or out partying.

    My school is 56% male. As far as dorms go though, the engineering dorm is about 90% male. The liberal arts dorm is only 33% male.

    Percentage female. If you are going into engineering (face it, you are) try to get in to a liberal-arts dorm.

    Yeh, but I don't think the protection extends to use of trademarks - doesn't that seem infringing? Usually a parody would say, perhaps, Goggle or something.

    Regardless, I doubt Google would take issue.

    I wonder if that is legal actually.

    My impression is that this is a 'fansite' linking to the "out of business original publisher's" website, which is down.

  13. Two different situations. on Game Devs Using One-Time Bonuses to Fight Used Game Sales · · Score: 1

    The two examples given are totally different. NBA Live gives you essentially a free subscription-based service, which will create continued overheads for them into the future.
    This is different from Rock Band 2, where the incentive could easily have been included with the game, or on a supplemental disc.

    The idea behind NBA Live's incentive will work better too. To 'crack' those features would require regular work to update the rosters and release patches.

    The idea of one time codes also raises the one-time-install issue. Will I be able to call in to the company and explain how I got the RROD and had to reinstall, and get an extra activation? If so, then expect the used game market to be full of people doing the same.

    I had a bad experience with .NET 2, where in order to open an old project in Visual Studio it insisted on converting to .NET compatibility apis. The rather simple program then ran insanely slow, so slow that the interface was sluggish and it was useless for its purpose (automation).
