    idiot. are you aware that starcraft has basically set the concept of professional gaming and esports ? and it happened circa 1998-1999 and since ?

  2. WhoreDaddy. on IMSLP Taken Down By UK Publishers Group · · Score: 4, Informative

    The shittiest, slyest, most sinister hosting/domains provider on the internet (after 1&1 terror of course) that is the Godaddy.

    so whorey that, they are STILL making losses every year since their founding by underselling, without a year in the black to show for their history.

    on top of that, they have no ethics in regard to internet conduct, they can take down your site just like that from a dmca complaint without any possibility of objection from your side, and even before you are notified of the dmca. they can take away your domain name just like that too.

    on top of that, the ceo is a egomaniac who is more into advertising himself than running a proper business serving people. and his latest stunt is below

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=HXVH4OsfapI

    disturbing video. shot by, and edited by bob parsons, ceo, godaddy himself. and uploaded to his blog. yes, such people exist.

    so, you can say that this article doesnt come as a surprise to anyone who knows what whoredaddy is.

    stay away from 2 provides on the internet even at the cost of your life : 1&1, and whoredaddy.

    no we dont. we ask with their cm measurement. and the unit is not even said. the influx of early monitors and plasmas have resulted in an inch measurement being talked about because they mainly came from american corporations or products produced for america. when the local producers have entered the market in enough numbers - dont worry, your inch exception will go away.

    it isnt. free market mechanic should have acted to reduce demand for games through consumer choice, and therefore cause the competitors to reduce prices too. it didnt happen. because, all of the competitors employ same marketing types, and those marketing types look at each other and decide as such. profit maximization for you.

  8. There were few $60 games to begin with. on Dollar Apps Killing Traditional Gaming? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Really. Most of what you game dev studios/industry was producing, was CRAP. $60 was the perception of the 'price point' that the marketing types came up with - "hey, what is the maximum people in america will pay for a game ?" turned out, that perception was wrong.

    you were rehashing the same crap over and over and pushing it to masses with marketing. just like movies. trailers, marketing hype, ads, showing only the best few parts you added to the game, whereas the rest was rehash of the previous version or other games. taking no risks to please shareholders. a few cents per share more for every shareholder, more important than satisfaction of your customer.

    that was why there was rampant piracy.

    thank mobile apps. this '$60 blockbuster' bullshit will end.

    sugar is not used as preservative because it is 'toxic'. in high concentrations, it acts like any substance that heavily absorbs water, by drawing water from environment. that includes any kind of bacteria cell - through osmosis, it draws water from cells, and neutralizes bacteria. just like salt in high quantities.

    There is no other country in the planet, INCLUDING the countries which actually ARE the producers of sugar, having problems with sugar.

    Its an american problem. And this much stampede is done about it, and someone finally comes up saying some BASE element that is fundamental to life, is toxic ...

    the UNIVERSAL energy source that ALL CELLS (including bacteria) on ANY living organism on this planet uses, is ATP.

    and, ATP is generated through respiratory process from GLUCOSE (hello sugar) and oxygen.

    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_produces_ATP_energy_for_a_cell

    and we have someone coming up saying that the BASE mechanism for all life on this planet, is toxic.

    when we check it out, it comes up as an idiot that is in an AMERICAN that is trying to fight obesity.

    no sugar isnt toxic. its the american mindset that is toxic - overdo ANYthing, and it becomes harmful to health, including oxygen. there are no other countries on the planet having problem with sugar, but americans.

    thats your problem. but appallingly, someone makes a science out of america's own excesses. appalling.
