You are absolutely right, a popular MMO would never have players who spend massive amounts of time playing the game.
Sorry guys, I don't have time to eat, I've got a raid in ten minutes and I have to get two more motes of shadow. Then I have to farm more honor with that other faction.
This and its more controlled forms would last for two or three generations tops. Eventually people will get pissed off enough to realize that its idiotic to let someones parents choose their child's looks based on what the popular culture of their parents finds beautiful and attractive, with no regard for the fact that none of the kids will be able to meet the criteria of beauty in their own popular culture. It will be like the quest for super thinness and super buffness times ten. Several generations with no selfesteem.
Someone is gonna go, "guys, seriously this isn't working, and we are all ugly too boot."
No, it is communism in practice. One guy has a seed grows a plant, gets more seeds, he gives the seeds to ten other dudes so they can grow their own seeds. They plant their seeds then a hundred more dudes come in and strip the crop clean and don't even leave any seeds.
Anyone else ever wonder if eventually all high performance applications are just going to sit in their own VM/OS? I mean if the "desktop/OS" paradigm is relegated to part of the hardware.
I'm fairly certain that made no sense to anyone but me.
No seriously. Even if you have a non existent ceramic gun, with a ceramic barrel, ceramic extractors, and a ceramic action. You still have metallic ammunition and a metal firing pin.
It needs that one port so it can hear requests, then it coordinates with the other peer to setup a new connection, and since the port requests comes from an internal source you don't need to forward ports.

You clearly haven't seen the DMCA.
To be able to get the game to work on their consoles you have to get their blessing or circumvent their copy protection mechanisms.
No, dota doesn't even qualify as a tower defense game really, it is more action rpg than anything.

To people under the age of ten a six month reward cycle is a long term thing.
Hell for most college students, six months is long term.
"Nuclear Explosion" is a rather stupid way of phrasing what is going to happen, theoretically, inside the reactor.

Your supposed to say, " I don't think so, Tim"
So when is Cynicism getting added to an ever expanding list of mental disorders that one more pill can set right?
Why would the dea confiscate your corn?
Okay, that made waaaaay more sense in my head.

I think it would require lots of open standards, for everything, for it to be useful.
I think that is what I meant, or something of that nature. I can't really articulate my idea without spend an hour typing and editing my idea.

Yakety Sax is the name I believe.
Then you clearly haven't seen enough people naked.

I've never understood how GTA was against women.
While I like the fact a warrant was obtained, I'm slightly surprised a warrant was required for this.
Some beautiful art... that needs extensive patching.
Fuck off. Same thing you say to any prick.
If you look at a 100 year warming trend, its not going to be a nice curve. Its going to have lots of 5 to 10 year cooling and warming periods.
but overall its getting warmer.
