I really like turn-based games. I wish play by email was more popular. I know there are some other games, like Stars! and older BBS stuff that would do one turn a day or something and a game would last about a year.
XCOM3 tried to have detailed ground combat and detailed space ship combat. IMO, it wasn't successful.
MOO1/2 were great games. They had detailed ship combat and very simple ground combat.

I don't think it works well when games try to have two different "phases" of gameplay that are relatively isolated. Look at Star Wars Rebellion for example.
Welcome to the 21st century, I only use regular mail for packages. Who cares if the price of mailing a letter is expensive? They invented the internet for a reason.
I had a Barney doll on my desk. I threw it away after I realized that it was made of mostly carbon and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen! Shit, those are the same ingredients they use in high explosives today!!!!
My kids were hugging what was essentially a plush purple bomb!
I don't understand how some of them are superior technology. It seems that everything WordStar did, WordPerfect could do; in fact I still use WordPerfect today over Word.
How is a slide rule superior to a scientific calculator? Sure, I have one and think it's a cool toy to play with, but it's more prone to human error and slower than a calculator so I wouldn't do real work on it.
How about another option like a job at MacDonalds? I wouldn't want to use an ad agency that was so flaky?
Besides, what's the difference between deleting several emails, throwing away junk catalogs, or junk faxes? There's not much difference between 'legit' advertising and spam. In fact, Steve Case should get 7 years for sending me all those aol cds I don't want.
People got new mailboxes and mail filters because of the *aggregate* actions of *many* spammers. The *aggregate* punishment should be a lot, however you are suggesting we punish ONE guy for the actions of MANY.
He's not a hardened criminal, give him just a few months and I don't think he will ever do it again. As for the 'hacking' charges, the article doesn't really specify what he did to the mailserver. It sounds like it was just a globally accessible smtp server and he used it like everybody else. As for the damages to ibm, I think a stiff fine or community service would be more in order than additional jail time.
Some have prodicted that P4 will be able to scale up to 10Ghz. On the other hand, the same people observe that right now a 1Ghz Athlon uses more power and produces more heat than a 1.4Ghz P4.
Funny how it's the same people isn't it? I wonder what company they work for?
maybe they have no wood now because they cut down all the trees and used the wood to make ramps. Maybe they didn't drag the stones there, Giza was solid rock and they merely cut away everything that was not pyramid.

How much did the screenwriter for Rules of Engagement make? Must have been one of those guys who made the minimum...
If you're recording off the radio to begin with, you're not going to get cd quality anyway.
So don't buy a Dell computer. Build your own.

Because cgis are just too unreliable.
THAT would be a shitty tech job. Especially if you had to draw the little bar graphs by hand and scan them in.
But you can afford a computer? Sounds like a troll to me...

The Navy will continue to use nuclear power, even if it were unsafe. They wouldn't go back to diesel subs, even if they were cleaner.
BTW, There are hundreds of nuclear reactors aboard the US's ships. When was the last time there was an emergency with one?
So the United States should not be the world's policemen, yet we are obligated to provide medicine and supplies to whoever needs it?

If your computer is so smart, why is it shouting?

what happens if Gore refuses to certify the winner?
I seriously hope you're joking.
That's because we get all our technology from aliens. So really, it's our near future technology that resembles the aliens of today.

Like all those people who CLAIM they voted for Gore, when they are really closet Buchanan supporters.

Ummm, right...I hope these twelve hour days include lunch.
