I think that's because cops in the game can fight back, and sometimes they win. If they don't win, they send out FBI, or even military to eventually kill the player.
What can prostitutes in the game do besides maybe running away from the player? GTA should include prostitutes hitting the player violently with their handbags, or kicking the player in the nuts.
I had a fond memory of it when I was playing it about 15 years ago, and only until recently I recalled its name "Zeliard", and promptly found and downloaded it from Underdogs.
The music still makes me warm and fuzzy but the graphic is a bit disappointing now.
I guess it's about "watermark in their downloadable MP3 files" as stated in the summary above, not physical CDs which will cost a lot more (and enough to cover any piracy).
Even the best-trained human eyes and ears, according to Kip, can't detect the change.
Who says anything about using human senses to detect the watermark? If these watermarks are embedded by machine, I'm sure it won't be long until Watermark Bob creates a "cleanser" program to detect anything unusual, and maybe even remove it.
Search activities will certainly be stored on Yahoo!, but your comment got me thinking even further:
These credits are awarded based on keywords. For example, searching "Google Rocks" might give you $0.00001, searching "Google Sucks" might give you $0.001.
And this opens up marketing (not advertising) opportunities, where companies will bid for keywords to reward users who searched for them. It's almost like Google Adsense except this one rewards users who searched for them.
This got me thinking -- Maybe instead of offering prizes (which one needs to win), why not offer frequent-searcher credits?
So if you searched while logged in (then Yahoo! doesn't even need forever-cookie to track a user's activity), you will accumulate some credits and when you have reached certain threshold, you can exchange for things that you actually want.
True. Slashdot also has a fine print: "The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. We are not responsible for them in any way."
Oh by the way, I have an apartment for rent, only one requirement: Clean Godly Christian Male.

No Time Travel, Sorry

Every once in a while when I come across something that I dreamed of years ago, and that something plays back exactly the same way as it was in my dream, I can't help but thinking maybe there is a scripted future in the... future.
So while science may prove that physical time travel is unpossible, we may still manage to "see/communicate" with the past/future through other means (like The Mysterious Future! plum).
So if an OS is to make a daily backup of user's home directory (or My Documents) automatically and locks it away (until emergency) from user access, it might just win the heart of users.
Just a Slashdot-style moderation system, where a player can be modded up and down (one vote per person, which can be up/neutral/down) according to that player's action.
These mods will "expire" after a couple of days so that players can start a new leaf.
If you buy a software, install in your computer and it's showing you ads when you're using the software, it may even retrieve new ads from a remote location, are we supposed to put up with that?
Slashdot Mirror
Litigation takes too long, just attack them. Imagine the amount of ice we can get from them.
If they don't give in, we will just blow their icy country into pieces! Without ice, how can they dump ice into the ocean?
Would someone think of the shivering baby seals?
I on the other hand thought General Managers can find out how their employees are playing on WoW and manage them accordingly.
I mean, who better than Bill Gates himself to submit hundreds of thousands of Windows exploits and makes zillions of them?
1. Design flawed OS
2. Wait for bounty on flaws
3. Submit flaws
4. Issue "critical" advisories on those flaws
5. Profit!!!
Mind you, if the bounty is for announced "patch" instead of "advisory", it will be almost impossible for BG to claim the prize.

It's like I knew I will get fired one day for reading Slashdot during office hours, I still read it.
It's like I knew the next story will only be out in 20 minutes, I still hit F5 every second.
It's like I knew a story is a dupe, I still "read more" and reply to it.
If this is not true love, what is?
The way I read it:
I don't want just... money. [I want power and control too]
Money's not enough. [It's never enough, I want more]
Anyone remember Zeliard?
I had a fond memory of it when I was playing it about 15 years ago, and only until recently I recalled its name "Zeliard", and promptly found and downloaded it from Underdogs.
The music still makes me warm and fuzzy but the graphic is a bit disappointing now.
I wonder if it's easier to have a revolution than continuing with the up-hill battle of fighting for freedom with the current government.

I don't get it, can't they just download the correct fonts to make it printable?

Have you thought of how to deal with copyrights and other legal issues?
I too have projects that I'm too busy to do, but I'm not experienced enough to draft a legal document which can protect my ideas from developers.
Looks like these farmers are so much better off than EA employees.
I wouldn't mind having a EBMB feature where a secondary monitor will who/what's behind me.
I think any game will benefit from such setup, like RPG/Simulation/RTS/FPS won't hurt with dedicated displays for "stats" and "field".

Must be wOw, SecondLife or The Sims.
Or influx of bogus data.
What I want to know is if there is frozen whale meat in that block of ice.
What about Advergaming?
If you buy a software, install in your computer and it's showing you ads when you're using the software, it may even retrieve new ads from a remote location, are we supposed to put up with that?
The article seems to imply that most bosses don't change, yet it's suggesting workers to change job.
I believe a common scenario is some people have bad boss, and they just live with it and see who retires first.
