How is feeding Africans going to solve anything? I feed 1 today, they grow up healthy and have 10 kids. 10 kids that will be starving also. Should my kids then feed their 10 kids?
I believe Africa's troubles stem from technology which their society was ill prepared to deal with. Even stuff like vaccines that will drastically increase the population growth does more harm than good in the long run if the society does not curb it's breeding habits.
When I played pally I found protection to be far better for grinding mobs than retribution. Unless it has been nerfered recently, I suggest you do some research on this.
Why, praytell, have so many otherwise intelligent people been lured onto the gold bandwagon lately?
Why have so many people been lured to the dot com bandwagon? Or the housing bandwagon? Simple, people do not understand economics. I wouldn't call them stupid outright, but picking something that made someone some money, and piling behind it thinking it will make you money too seems naive at very least.
Spore: Vacation, Spore: Hot Date, Spore: Pets, and of course Spore: IKEA. Each of the expansions will give you an amazing array of building blocks for your creatures, like 2-3 appendages, and 1-2 new other attachments, for the low low price of $30. Remeber, EA can make it happen, so it Will.
Hell, the whole thing is confusing. Why does it mention online games? Those do not get pirated! How can you pirate WoW where you need to pay monthly to play it? Yeah u can use a private server, but those have less than.1% hardware capability of anything Blizzard tapes together from used parts. So enjoy adventuring ALONE. Also, why would anyone want to move to the Asian pricing model? Americans, by large part, prefer the way things are. Most of them do not want money to give someone an advantage, as witness by backlashes to gold selling services.
Online games have little problems with piracy. That leaves you with not online games, which you cannot give away for free, because even if you used an ad model, the game still has to connect to get new ad material.
The population growth has already curbed itself in most industrialized nations. However there is another problem that arises from this. All of the current economic models are really ponzi schemes which depend on always expending populations. That is because as far as recorded history goes, human populations have always expanded. We are unprepared to deal with a shrinking population as witnessed by the alarm bells of every government with a birth rate below the magical number of 2.1%.
However, merely maintaining the current population won't really do us any favors int he long run.
Back in '96 I had AOL. And then there was much reason to have it. There was no broadband to speak off, and you got plenty for your money like IM service and access to few MMORPGs for free, although they were BETA. Still it was great.
Blizzard is a company. Companies exist to make money. If making a Linux port and supporting it doesn't make them money, why should they do it? I know you guys think you are all very important, and the corporations of the world should do as you please, but you are getting ahead of yourself.
How can you say Powell is ideal candidate? Put him with McCain and the whole Bush's 3rd term will gains even more coverage. Put him with Obama and he will look like a total flip-flopper on the Iraq war. We all know that Powell was instrumental in selling the Iraq war. How can Obama, who total opposes the war, take someone like that for VP?
This is why I switched to blockbuster. That and the fact that since I moved it takes an extra day each way for the dvd to travel. I mean I had some stuff on my list for over a year, and it wasn't just movies, stuff that is part of a series. I watched Farscape and didn't notice that they didn't have disks for the middle of season 1, I put in the next dvd and there is a whole new person on board, I was like WTF? And year on they still haven't replaced the missing disks.
Why not have the game generate on screen keyboard that has letters in different place every time, and you then have to key in your password using the mouse by clicking on the pictures of the letters. Even if a key logger captured your mouse movements, it still would fail as the keyboard would change.

Nuclear program would not be a deterrent towards invading Pakistan, they simply don't have the oil :(
Warhammer anyone? Why will they compete with themselves? I predict both games will fall short of par. And garnish a very small user base.
I hope one day the dodo references will go the way of the dodo.
Yes great solution. I would love to see them hand out drug tests for prospective prostitutes. I wonder how many will pass...
So what does AOL bring to the table again?

Sci-Fi MMORPGs are not so hot. I dont know why, just because its sci-fi people tend to think there is no possibility of melee classes.

Have a way around that too, but it gets a bit more complicated.

If they don't claim that pirated version offer inferior gameplay, then they will be claiming DRM fails and promoting Piracy. At least in their eyes.
Mod PARENT up! He beat me to the punch with moo3 reference!
