You should get a copy of Need for Speed Most Wanted or Grand Theft Auto for some training first. Any way, good luck. I'll keep an eye out for you on network news.:)
It's important to be made aware of the mind control tactics used by our government. The only problem I've had with them is that I'm not sure if the contact lenses work or not.
I agree almost entirely with your post. The only exception is that I don't think the RIAA is misusing the term 'piracy'. I hate the *AA as much as the next guy but downloading music is piracy in the same way that downloading games and copies of windows is piracy. I'm interested to know what euphemism you would like to use.
I'm not knocking the whole Linux on the mainframe concept, I'm just sharing our experience and how the whole thing seemed to be like someone in IBM Marketing declared "we need to sell Linux on the mainframe" and the Dilberts were forced to sell a product that worked about as well as a chocolate fireguard.
I hope you're wearing that chocolate fireguard now because there's a lot of flame coming your way.:)
I sympathise because I can't handle it either. However, stopping the game would mean that it's no longer an RTS but some kind of turn or phase based game right? What are all the RTS fans supposed to do? Maybe I'm reading you incorrectly and you mean a game where you can have it both ways...
EA have matured as a company. We know that with age you've always got to consider Wii well in advance. You certainly don't want to be caught short. Looking round EA's forthcoming lineup I definitely see a lot of Wii coming soon.
Aaargh, don't say such things. I the person who invented 'blook' hears you, everyone will be forced to suffer it as a definition for something within days...
Interesting comment. I think retrospectively the content in Duke Nukem 3D is pretty benign now. I think eventually people will see Manhunt 2 in the same light. What that says about human nature I don't know...
This is kind of stupid considering that the buttons are now just internal to the system. I thought it was going to be some comparison with the click wheel or something. Aaaargh I'm getting dragged into another Apple conversation on Slashdot. Why God, why!?
To me, my friends and colleagues bureaucracy has negative connotations. Based on this I would assume most people understand bureaucracy to be an administrative system in which the need or inclination to follow rigid or complex procedures impedes effective action.
You're the first person I've heard of to suggest this is a good thing. Or am I missing something?
I agree and was sort of like I was trying to imply. The movie industry don't want you to download something only once. They want you to download it or stream it every time you watch. There's more money in it for them that way. For this, a lot of bandwidth for everyone involved and who can afford a top tier connection. This is why the big conglomerates are interested in getting rid of net neutrality.

I'll download a song, and if I don't like it, I'll go buy it.
Wow, you're like the best consumer ever!

I want a picture of me with no face, and see what face it gives me! (c'mon clint eastwood)
My bet is on Nicholas Cage or John Travolta.
My contact lenses block the government mind control frequency being sent through the television.
So say we all.

Obligatory...
"Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply."
Wow, that was incredibly well spotted. How on earth did you remember that? I think you've got a photographic memory for trollish posts. :)
Excellent point good sir.

Basically you're just emulating corporate weasel words to make yourself sound more important than you actually are. Carry on right ahead young sir.
I love RTS when they can accommodate my quirks.

I'm sure they are most likely just to blind themselves with it:

It's obviously time for another iPhone article... ho-hum.
I think todays kids are even dumber. Some even think fries (chips) are made from apples:

Not possible. This would invalidate the movie industry's eventual move to video on demand.
