Automotive as well... being able to hear sirens outside the car without broadcasting your Justin Bieber sirens to the rest of us. Nobody needs to hear that.
TOR i am not sure about, they are spending huge amounts of money on Voice overs, getting actors in, what i believe they are trying to create is an amazing storyline in an MMO.
Sounds to me like they are trying to make a massive multiplayer single player game.
The puzzles, etc. DDO tried... but they quickly get reported to sites and people go to the web to look up the solution. Sure, you can ignore the web, but you'll find yourself kicked from a group for messing up the puzzle and/or not knowing the answer or methodology for killing that boss.
RTS would be neat. We had a discussion with the Vanguard devs in early beta about the necromancer being a massive number of pet class (zerging necro?) and they later scrapped it because the necro had too much of a chance to get away from possible death if they took on too much (on purpose/accident.) I'd actually like to see someone take the route of towns demanding items from players or being overrun and lost. I'd also like to see these towns kick out settlers that need to be protected with excess equipment from these towns to build new settlements.
To be fair, I don't hate Sony. The only thing I've ever bought off them is my PS2 and PS3. Sure, getting hacked sucks, but I've had cards on file with places that got hacked before. It's not really that distressing or taxing to get the damages repaired (if any) or change your card number.
People like drama though, and this is giving them all the drama they want.
I put a sticker on my mailbox that says "No Advo please" and they've been pretty good at leaving that stuff out. Every so often I get something, but it's been fairly clean.
I did it because I check my mail once a month (if that) and it can get quite full.
I installed an ad-blocker in my mailbox. It's a little piece of paper that says: "No Advo please" and my ad-blocker server (read: mailperson) doesn't put that garbage in there.
Since each class supposedly has its very own storyline...
Yeah, so instead of not reading the dialog box about how your carbine soldier needs to deliver 45 wombat hides you can not read the dialog that pops up from the same NPC asking you to collect 45 wombat furs.
You say that like there are people in the world not disgruntled by EA (ex-employees and non-employees [ie: gamers])
EA has single handedly destroyed my will to game. I've been seeking out game publishers that don't treat their customers like pond scum to be able to play decent games and every time I do, EA scoops them up and infects them with viral hate goo.
will be trounced by new demands from the departments you consulted because they neglected to tell you a part of their needs, or changed their minds, or read some article they read somewhere.
Are you talking about Software Development or Network Engineering?
The only thing I can think of is that people would be less likely to move about if they felt the cost to move was too great. It would force people to accept more grief from local authority than eat the cost of moving somewhere else. They'd be less likely to travel and see what it's like in another part of the country. Same concept here. If you visit some state and find out that people treat you better, the local laws seem more sane to you and you decide you want to move there it's less likely to happen if you cancelled your vacation plans and figure they have the same rules as you do.
You can give people a lot more grief if they don't have the means to get away easily. I mean, how many people in the US care what happens in another city? (It's not 'my city' so I could care less... until it is your city then you get shocked on how much it's going to take to move if you even know of a better place to live.)
I think you are reading too much into it. My complaint on the roads is that they've not been keeping them up per the standards that previous years have seen. Whether this is because they've diverted money that should have gone to upkeep somewhere else on purpose or not is the basis of my concern.
Personally, I have little issue with charging people for the amount of road they use, but I feel as thought that's a pretty simple tax to collect through fuel taxes. Usage taxes are fine. Any other measure is looking for someone to "cheat" (odometer reset, avoid checkpoints...) But this awkward scheme, along with all the other transportation limitations/hindrances makes it feel confining.
I know this sounds conspiratorial, but I have to wonder that the point is in things that have been happening recently. It can't solely be money/environment... can it?
It feels like they are trying to take away our will to travel. The TSA making people not want to fly, higher oil prices (yeah, this may not be in their control...), more taxes on vehicles (like this proposal), lack of upkeep on the highways (at least around the Midwest that I've noticed...) It almost feels like there's a movement to imprison people through travel costs/time without having to actually imprison people. There seems to be a force pushing public transit so all the common sheeple like up and pack into the trains/buses to be deposited in a controlled manner at designated locations. At least, it feels like that to me. I enjoy the freedom of being able to take off and go to another state if I wish. I like being able to jump in the car and visit Chicago on a weekend. I would have loved to do the family vacation like when I was a kid. Pack everyone in a van and see the country. Today's costs make that an expensive proposition.
That was one of my points though. You get home, sit down, take off your shoes, maybe get comfortable and go look through the games available to buy online. You see one you really like and want to get it. Doh, I have to run to the store to get a card...
There's just a huge inconvenience in prepaid cards.
You could stock up on a bunch of cards anticipating that you will be buying a game, but what if you buy a card for $20 and the game is $18? Now there's $2 sitting on that card and you may just throw the card out because you would have to put that card plus another into the system next time you buy something. You just gave someone $2. What if you bought a $50 card and only bought that $21 game. Now there's $29 sitting on a card and you don't know when you're going to use it next. Free money for collecting interest for that bank!
I know I wouldn't use it... my Credit Cards give me a layer of protection and a buffer. So does Prepay (layer of monetary protection), but those are often a PITA to get and there are usually fees involved in getting them. (Unless I'm totally wrong here. I remember Prepay cards that you had to get at the store and are charged a percentage more than the value of the card. This usually involves predetermining that you need the card while you are at the store or making a special trip.)
Paper bill I guess I could handle, but that's also a huge pain and involves me checking my mail more than once every 2 months to clean out the garbage coupons. (Ah, the joys of online banking!)
After reading through various comments I loaded up xfce4 and am trying it out. So far it looks alright though I don't like the amount of clutter in the menus so I'm digging into how to reduce that a bit.

I'd do the same thing for Sci-Fi as I did for G4 when they got pushed into a premium subscription package. I stopped watching.
Hopefully you mean the vehicle superclass instead of the car subclass. I'd hate to see the car class being used for trucks. ;)
Banquet or Swanson pot pies?

If it were $75-90k a year maybe
Isn't that kind of low?

It's a good thing that Standford isn't in the UAE then.
