If any post ever deserved a +1, Insightful, it's that one. Can we please get rollover mod points for stuff like this? They're just as good as new mod points...
Think American football. A desperate throw to try to make a touchdown from an area of the field where you should really be focused on gaining a first down.
For examples, see any football movie involving a slow-motion throw in the last second of the game from too far away that the main character catches against all odds to win the game for Sunnyville High (or whatever) with cheesy music playing in the background.
heuristics won't help either, malware authors will have pirate copies of all the latest av products and will tweak their malware until the heuristics no longer detect it before they start deploying it.
I wonder if they get viruses with their pirated anti-virus and keygens.
Back ontopic, for me the greatest thing about these old platform games was the way that you had to keep trying again and again to get past the tricky bit. Not only did this add to the addictiveness but this gave you enough time to appreciate their subtle brilliance and wonderfully drawn graphics.
Also known as "taking the cartridge out back and smashing the damn thing with a hammer because it won't fucking do it" or "the game cheated!"

That was one of those slashdot comments that don't really require a whoosh.
OBVIOUSLY, getting the clicks is the hard part.
Haven't you been paying attention around here? All you have to do is ??? and you can profit without those pesky clicks.

Maybe you should have been doing your math homework instead of playing games.
Nasty hobbitses! It cheats, Precious!
That's cool and all, but does it run on Linux?

If anything, I was hoping for discourse containing thoughtful comments...
This is where things went poopy for ya.
Yeah, nobody would guess Natalie Portman...
Oh please, they can too tell the difference. A Coke is a pop and a Mountain Dew is a Coke. Seriously, it's not hard, Hatta. Sheesh!
I use a workbench and storage cabinet analogy. I think I will try yours next time.
So my time is worthless?

Congratulations, Stallion83... you ARE the biggest loser!
I agree. I die a little inside every time I hear "My Microsoft is broken."
Ruined my *one* chance to be quoted. Ever. ;)

The cake is a lie!
Don't forget to glue a large number to it and have one of Howie Mandel's girls hold it for you!
Mean Joe just passes out Dr. Pepper to random children at games.
