I was planning on writing something about the indie game scene, but changed it to something more relevant to Steve's experience. If I could rewrite the title, I'd say,"How do you publish a P&P RPG system?"

If I have an old school RPG system that is a good system, and has several adventures, what is the best way to publish it? I play tested it through several years in highschool, and its a very fun system, but I have no idea how to publish an old school pencil and paper and make even a single literal dime.

The top results in Bing are typically ads which can sometimes link to a virus just by clicking on them. Microsoft has to know the ads link to a virus, but leave them up there because they're getting ad money coming in.

I'm perfectly fine with Google linking their own products and services. The only qualm I have with Google is how much they try and force you into Google+ everywhere you turn.

Rarely do people do fact checking. Propaganda is really easy to push on social media if you know how to do it right, causing people to stand up for causes, buy products or to make someone public enemy #1. This is the downside of popular opinion social media sites, if its wrong, yet a popular opinion, everyone gets a wrong popular opinion. Fortunately not all astroturfers understand how to pull on heart strings yet.

It's like acid rain on your wedding day.

Facts you probably didn't know: Lucky Charms has been marketed as a health food in the past. They said paraphrased,"Science has shown a link between oats and a healthy heart. Lucky Charms has oat pieces. So Lucky Charms should be healthy for your heart because of science."

You've heard that it is good to invest your money in many placements. It also helps to invest in different ways of helping others. Help your family until they're secure for some time is a good way. Donate to a homeless shelter and homeless directly. If you don't believe in NGO charities and you want to reach the poorest of the poor in the world, consider taking a trip to a poor nation on vacation security and help the locals out. Giving directly to the poorest of the poor goes further than someone who might turn around and buy drugs in the first world countries. If you're spiritual, many churches do a pretty good job helping the poor. Again, it is important to invest in many places because something somewhere will probably help the world.

Don't forget to be the change yourself in addition to donating. You can try to research diseases, increase farming techniques, make educational materials on apps and websites. In all you do, be good and loving.

Centralized drivers who think they're playing video games are actually driving cabs. Since they only pick from the top ladder players, the odds of a player driving off a bridge is less than 2%! Just watch out for some bad lag, that's been known for some problems. If you're lucky enough to get No Carrier though, you pay no fare!

I thought Slashdot was dead. I thought they killed the comments until someone told me where to look.

Look if your phone gets malware or MITM and skims the logon normally, you're boned. You're boned in many ways since if you have malware you probably have a keystroke logger too. Yet this passwordless style won't ever let them know how to log onto your account. This is no different since your login/password phase of authentication is the same. In fact with the server giving you a quite long randomized password its better than someone's recycled password they use on every site.

If you don't enter an email and verify it, yes, you lose everything! This is why you enter your email and verify it, gain some virtual currency for completing the task. The thing is, it won't prompt you for this for about 10-30 minutes in since you don't have anything worth saving anyway, and no one wants detracted from seeing if the game is cool or not.

If a log off button is required, simple one could be put there if they really want to log off, but by default it is off unless they registered with email. Since the only way to log back on would require you to register in the first place. I think most people would love to just go straight to playing the game without registering anything to waste their time.

You're right if their email gets hacked, they lose everything. But that's no different than how the web operates now...

In the app, you're always logged in once you register. Yes, I know it is a security breach, but so is losing your stupid phone.

You enter your email to register. And if you ever change phones, you simply do what is commonly known as a "password recovery", but don't actually get a password, you just get perma logged in.

Here's a secret for people who deal with hackers: Have the app generate a keygen unique to the phone: Time stamp it, time stamp it again on the first click, get the X/Y position, and you have a pretty unique code. Keep that code permanently with the installed app, so if they're banned and forget to uninstall your app, they're banned again. Also this key could be used to login automatically without even registering! But if they ever want to recover their account if they lose their phone, they should enter their email in the settings.

Ebay: Hey we're not an auction site. (Dodges county by county laws against auctions)

Paypal: We're not a bank either. (Dodges many laws about banks everywhere).

Uber: Hey we're just doing what everyone else has in terms of dodging laws.

Back in the day, we'd play Quake using a keyboard, and the button between ctrl(shoot) and alt(strafe) was that dumb windows key. On all my keyboards I get for home use, the windows key rapidly meets the fate of being pried off by a screw driver.

If you're trying to get me to code in a new language that only works for your company, my first thoughts are,"Why you trying to make me exclusive?" Exclusive code helps every company because that means more people buy their hardware and OS if some good software is written on it. This is why I didn't pick up C# initially because it was only for Windows(though Unity today is multiplatform). I'm not going to pick up a Google only language or an Apple only language either. And you know what, even if Linux takes off as the platform of the future, I'm not going to pick up a Linux only language.

For what I use now, its either Java or Flash(AS3). Some may laugh at Flash, but it compiles to Web/iPhone/iPad/Android all without editing your code base for porting.
