i saw it in a discovery or other channel documentary. poachers were running amok in the face of park rangers in an african country. naturally, they were armed. they were poaching elephants. (most tribes are armed in africa, ak47 is preferred)
the country hired an ex army man (from west) as the head of the rangers. the guy trained park rangers as army rangers, and had them start to kill poachers. rangers were very effective now, laying in wait in treetops, coming with helicopters and whatnot.
there was a documentary in discovery or another channel. about a guy who stopped poaching after being put in charge of anti poaching prevention. the african country in this case was having a lot of troubles preventing poaching. poachers were running amok in the face of the rangers, and they were armed with ak47s and other guns. (poachers - actually many tribes in africa are armed with firearms, ak47 most popular)
the guy was an ex military commander in some other country, (west), now working as a mercenary. quite an odd character, not taking jobs which he didnt like.
when he came in charge, he trained the rangers as, well, army rangers, and instructed them to shoot and kill poachers. rangers started killing poachers wherever they were poaching.
its consoles. they are too locked in, and their companies do not put out new generations often. that is why the console market is dragging ALL gaming behind. developers are having to accommodate consoles that are a few years behind in technology.
not to mention the horrible, flat-out fascist attitude of the console producers towards any kind of free development, improvement, or modding on their devices.
really, it would be better if they are totally dropped.
Hello nerds. Look at your keyboard, now back to me, now back at your keyboard, now back to me. Sadly, it's infected with bacteria, but if you stopped washing your hands, it could be a lot worst. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re still at your desk reading this shit. What’s on your hand, back at me. I have it, the solution to your storage problems. Look again, the bacteria are now data. Anything is possible when you stop bathing. I’m a trojan horse.
i understand your points. however, what you are missing is that, this is a system that is feudal in nature, divisive, allowing private individuals and corps to partition the world of logic constructs. as long as you allow ownership of logic constructs, it is inevitable that it devolves into ownership of thought eventually. its no different than allowing individuals to partition country as its lords, having all rights to the land. no amount of royal decrees, exceptions, 'fair use' like rules made that system work.
and, when a point like that is reached, all the other justifications, rationalizations would have hard time coping up with that in courts. 'property rights'....
and this is going downhill. at the rate this is going, it seems we are already reaching that point these days.
lets say, by nitpicking, we have justified this case too. patent was valid.
does it even needs saying that, at this rate, it wont be a few months until we come to a point where the patent system totally goes out of the realm of logic ?
if you reach the stage of donning a scantily clad leather armor as your everyday clothes. that will be way past the level of calling yourself 'Doggone' and starting to go around with a chicken under your left arm as your grand grand father.
i dont give a flying fuck about what people think. i know myself. and i dont care much about punctuation, or grammar much. english is not my first language, and even in that case what i have posted above goes far beyond the comprehensive level of most graduates in america.
As a counter perhaps I still enjoy playing games because I have a richer imagination. That my desires are less shallow, incapable of being fulfilled by the latest version of CoD, or Madden.
find me such a game that caters to imaginative needs.
DHS will now release colored chickens to broadcast level of terror alerts. Citizens are encouraged to take the below actions depending on what color chicken you see running around in their neighborhood :
- Yellow colored chickens : Start looking at the minorities in your neighborhood suspiciously and irritatingly
- Orange colored chickens : Start moaning about good old days in doorsteps with your neighbors, and comment that "Good old {Insert-conservative-dead-president} would not let these damn {Insert-preferred-minority-to-rail-against}s run around prancing like {Insert-derogatory-irrelevant-adjective}s in our neighborhood like that" and spew in a minority house direction on the ground.
- Red colored chickens : Duck and cover. Or, alternatively, start treating the chicken as your long lost grand grandfather and change your name to "Doggone".
- Purple colored chicken : Youre already in planet Mars.
the link i linked to, merriam-webster page, is quite clear on that issue. alright, and all right are both valid, and alright has been around in written form since 1884.
i was going to reply to you seriously, but, seeing this post of yours, proving that you do not now as single piece of shit, yet assert yourself as if you do and go about insulting others, even exhausted my tolerance and positivity for discussing with internet trolls, taking them as human beings they are.
Oblivion (as well as expansions). This game is truly deep and rich. Great voice acting, good plot, many concurrent plots, and a huge world to explore. If you have not played it, it is pretty cheap now, and highly recommended.
only if you accept having monster spawns just 50 meters out of the castle walls, and villages consisting of 4 houses in a game that sports a continual wide map realistic.
thats because you are from a generation that didnt grow up gaming. in your time, these stuff that are found in games (spacely stuff, fantasy worlds this that) were desired, but could only be dreamed. your generation grew up with those dreams. those dreams stuck. you are now enjoying games continually because they satisfy your generation.
our generation (early to mid 70s born and later) have grown up WHILE gaming. we didnt have to dream, we had all those dreams satisfied. got space-like ? fire up a space game. watched conan ? fire up conan and play.
we satisfied our shit. your generation, yet didnt.
Im 35. for a long time i have been rather forcing myself to play games as a pastime. (there is nothing else to do every weeknight, is it) but recently im not even doing that, havent touched any games.
maybe we grew up. but, more than that,i believe, we played too much games. we are the first gamer generation. i played my first computer game in 1982 on a zx spectrum at age 6-7 or so. then msx, then c64 then pc... we played all the legendary games that broke barriers at the time they came out. we also played A LOT of games.
you know, after a point it ends up like hollywood movies - if you have seen a lot, its like having seen all of them. they all resemble each other. you get bored, of the same pattern.
of course the extreme corporatization, industrialization of gaming didnt help. fifa xvIIIXImcMii, Flying Dragon XVIVII, rehashes, or, bastardizations of existing game types all for not risking losing one single penny for shareholders (fuck those bastards), made gaming a repetitive affair. even mass effect 2, i only played it for a few hours before forgetting it. polished 'same old'. dragon age. same old, but very polished. (and made harder so 'game time' will increase peh).
is it even surprising ? 'believe me' is a very strong control tool. belief is something that entities do, without any solid reason or proof. using that, it is easy to herd and shape people. at least the naive ones. the awake ones, will eventually have to go along with the masses, even if they know masses are being deceived.
there is no difference in between them. patents, copyright, trademarks, all grant ownership of concepts, intangible ideas, words to private parties.
concepts are things that constitute part of complex object construction in abstract space. they are themselves complex constructs derived from earlier concepts. the lower patent granting goes, the more basic objects will be granted. then, the owners of these patents will increasingly be owning rights to all complex constructs derived from these.
thats, feudalizing the thinking process of mankind. nothing else.
i would have detailed more about the copyright and trademarks by going on, but the title of your post discourages me from expecting logic from you. the above should be enough to clear doubts in the minds of people who are confused about the subject matter. its not intended for your own benefit.
learn some manners, before spewing shit on internet next time, if you want to be taken seriously and participate in a discussion.
