I just hope I don't get stuck in the vault with the puppets....

That actually makes sense.

This sounds like something out of HitchHikers or a Python sketch.

... At least thats what we like to believe, since the most scorching hot women will never let us test this theory.

Not to mention that its pretty much proven that surveillance equipment does not prevent crime. Look at all the black and white footage from security cameras you can find. When he mentions it would be stupid to commit a crime.... I have to wonder if he has any knowledge of the types of crimes this is supposed to prevent and the criminals that commit them.

I've always thought it was odd that its fine to go on a digital death spree, but if there is so much as a pixilated nipple people go ape shit. What does that say about us? Bunch of sexually repressed violent &^*&^ers

I agree completely. There is a large portion of people that do not have smart phones, so they are obviously not using their cell phone as a GPS. There is a also a large portion of people that have had a standalone GPS unit for years, if they are thinking like I am; it still works so I'm not upgrading yet. I love how we are so quick to say a device is dead or dying just because something else can do what t does. The standalone GPS will most likely be with us for quite a while.

Its not just the current generation. In an earlier day we endured the bit wars; where the systems at the time boasted 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits. What it boiled down to was bragging rights. Look at the Atari Jaguar, promoted as the first 64 bit system, its rivals at the time were the SNES and Genesis. The graphics sucked, and the games sucked compared to the vast librairies from its rivals. Eventually the bit wars ended. Did more bits make a better game? The answer seems to be no as the Jaguar was Atari's last production model console. The lesson seems to be a balance of graphics and gameplay. If the graphics are suited to the game then great, you've got a winner. Look at the Nintendo DS vs the Sony PSP... the PSP is capable of much higher quality graphics, but partially because of bad marketing and Sony trying to push it as a portable theater it is no where near as succesful as the DS. It also does not have the same level of game library that the DS has.

So A tuna tentacle monster? ....

When I worked shift, We'd do sit ups and push ups on the hour every hour. sometimes just for a few minutes each, and sometimes until failure. Sure if your in the middle of a crisis you can't do it, but its good for when you aren't. You can always bring a yoga mat if your floor is to dirty.

It's a matter of ethics, something you expect someone in his position to have a modicum of.

Tactics like these would encourage me to pirate games, or give them up all together.

Wasn't really in fine print, found it pretty easy. http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/rule/index.html Check the Member agreement article 5a and 5c discusses fees in addition to subscription fee if you miss a payment. I'm not a lawyer, but its in the contract and if you give them access to your account/ credit card then you've agreed to their terms. If you can't be bothered to read the terms of use and user agreement then I have no sympathy, it was very easy to find once I decided to look for it. If you don't like it play any other of the 100's of MMO's that bill normally.

I remember playing this game when it first came out, I was pretty disappointed by the game overall. Turning the account off was a pain, if you didn't do it right you'd still get billed. The billing scheme was kind of jacked but If anyone bothered to read the EULA all these terms are likely spelled out.(I didn't read it) I would be very surprised if a company as large as Square-Enix would leave such a large legal loophole. I do not agree with their billing scheme, but I have doubts that it is illegal.

I'd mod you up if I could, this is the reason Facebook is not the future of the internet.
