I'm actually proposing an option where you roll real dice and then input the results. I think that would allow the DM the option to "cheat" if they need it. I agree that if you kept all the rolls in the system then there would be a good chance it could become cumbersome for the DM to change them. I still prefer real dice.... personal preference.

I'd have to argue that D&D is a rule set; and that the DM and the players depending on their preference will use the rule set as a vehicle for narrative or for combat simulation. It certainly gives you all the tools you need for both and you can certainly have one without the other. This would be perfect for D&D tournament style dungeon crawls. This use of a multitouch table is very neat but I agree that "cheating" is something you do not want to take away from the DM. With that in mind I think if there was an interface where you could input your results from your rolls that would take care of that. I personally prefer rolling real dice.

I was going to say Batman did it first.. although he used cell phones.... all of them (at least in Gotham)

Mine was Microsoft settled with SCO as well, so I'm not surprised that they settled. It is not that Microsoft can not fend them off but they just don't care enough to fight it. I do wonder who is going to fight it.

Rotary action....pneumatic....; these are the things that worry me when I think of a Sleek Fembot Dominatrix.

Yeah but isn't this setting a bad precedent? This basically says webhosts are responsible for their clients content. Sure that may seem fine and dandy, but for large webhosts, verifying that all your clients have legal and legitimate content and goods posted would be a nightmare.

That wouldn't be much of a change from Spider Man 3.

Or to a wife or Girlfriend....

For me it was the price, I could care less about the backwards compatibility, it was convenient for sure. I still have a perfectly good PS2 that I still use. The initial buy in price was to steep for the majority of their target audience, especially when you could get the same title on the 360. Sure you can argue the PS3 has better graphics, but truthfully graphics aren't everything.

Call BS all you want, it doesn't change the fact that users like it. It doesn't matter why; even if they only like it because they are comfortable with it. Sure Microsoft will eventually be less relevant; given a long enough time span most things go this route.

The last time I was in Radio Shack I was looking for some RJ45 connectors. They dind't have any, the store in question didn't even stock them, told me I could get them online though.

Here's why we use Word; it comes bundled with Outlook. The people that pay us like Outlook; its simpler to have them use the whole Office suite than just part of it. It's not going anywhere.

They can change their name to whatever they want, they still don't have anything worth buying. Let's face it the store has gone down hill; all they have now are adapters, cellphones and remote control cars.

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

That actually makes sense.
