It was the only way to be sure,

In Soviet Russia, game plays YOU.

Didn't he say something about a virus?????

Kind of a cool problem. I suppose that short of altering the moon's orbit, someone is going to have to build adjustments into the software... Would that even be possible? Such adjustments or approximations might invalidate results.

Oh the hell with it.... I'm tired of thinking logically today. I need a beer.

This is easy. make the fucking thing available for download every week. (I"m assuming it isn't). Charge $5.99 an ep, or offer a subscription for a full season.

Do something..... most people will indeed go the legal route and pay for the show. I would.

I don't want HBO, but I live at my buddy's house on Sunday nights when this show is on. I'd gladly pay for it.

The dummies running these media companies just don't get it.. even now after all these years they are still clueless.

Look at the Blood and Chrome debacle. Are you fracking kidding me? Sci-Fi** won't air THAT show? They're clueless if they think they won't get viewership and a secondary market for downloads.

**I refuse to use the new name.

NO. I'm not a fan of robots.

It sounds like a sci-fi statement, doesn't it?

But I hate em'. I hate automated phone response, and i hate self serv checkouts in stores, among other things. Specifically because they replace people.

I'm also not a big fan of the crowd in Chennai taking my calls either......

Experience: Director if IT Security for a large Social Media Product.

Objective: A position where I can apply my experience and lessons learned in a fast paced and dynamic environment, targeting a large customer base. ::Hired:: By Facebook.

Ah but you see, people don't like talking to automation.

Even the friendly ones that get my account # right when I speak it in, are just plain freaky. It's not a replacement for a human interaction.. I like hearing the sound of a chuckle or some smalltalk while someone looks up my stuff. And these days, I feel good when it actually happens. It means that someone has a job.

Forget China.

This explains what those pesky North Koreans have been doing... those aren't really propaganda cities you know......

End of post.

Former hard core gamer here.

I gave up. I got sick of being treated like a criminal every time I tried playing a game. "Insert CD 1 to play". What bullshit.

I can only register a game to 1 computer? Even more bullshit.

So I stopped.

That's right, I quit feeding the industry my $$$, years ago. I think the last game I bought was Unreal Tournament - when it was new.

I considered Spore when it was being hyped as something new and different. It wasn't. And the copy protection there gave new meaning to the words "stay away from that shit".

Fuck you game publishers. Now you get none of my money.

It's more well spent these days anyway. More money for books....

wideBlueSkies is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs.

Is very sad life, will probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry.

Are we pointing at Epsilon Erindi? Could we be reading the Great Machine?

Don't worry, they are here to serve us.
