Got any openings?

Humans, Skinnies and Bugs... I get it... Why didn't the 40 k people get it?

expanded using convict labor. By then adding super computers, and a big slongshot we can end world hunger...

Whoever gets there first, say hello to Manual Garcia O'Kelly for me.

The above will only make sense to those who have read the Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein.

When they say Red Planet, i guess they really mean, RED planet...

Everyone repeat after me:

Correlation Does NOT Imply Causation.

Unless of course causation is established after correlation is recognized...

But, if you could, then since nature abhors you making the first post, your future self may have reached back in time to make your current self not make the first post, perhaps by distracting you at the crucial moment. Kind of like nature abhors the Cubs winning the series, or the Higgs Boson being discovered. Q.E.D.

Very well stated definition of the end state as it prepares for destruction! I think you've hit the nail on the head. This organization will continue to grow exponentially more complex as each clueless manager continues to practice the Amway school of business management, and grow his downline with true believers.

At some point in a not so distant future, the prime sociopatch will die or retire, and the entire structure will collapse upon itself, thus assuring the lifecycle continues.

Tell me which one you're on right now. Now, tell me which PVP instance for HERO System? Now, show me the documentation to set it up so that we can get in the same instance on the same team. I can create teams across the world, but I can't get them on the same arena team. If you have information on how to do so, please share, since some of us work instead of playing MMO's all day.

My point is simply that there is no simple means that appears in any of the poorly documented game to help players get together. If we're standing right next to each other its simple. If we're not, then its hard enough that the majority of players haven't figured it out.

It is nothing like the HERO System Champions game.

Sure you can join a supergroup. But first you have to get your folks on the same instance. To me it feels like they traded a convenient way to avoid server changes with a way to make it inconvenient for people to play together.

Bozeman will likely get it when no one under 50 applies for a job, and no one in IT applies for a position at all. Soon, either the hiring practice will change, or the town will begin paying ridonculous sums, since they are "not getting applicants". At which point it is palatable to use a throwaway email address, and social networking account or two, take the job, and have the HR moron terminated for surfing porn at work. Afterall, his or her passwords will be kept somewhere in writing.

You mean like road runner does by default here in SC?

Thank you Sid Meier!

IBM did that once. They gave away the ISA desktop architecture and allowed other people to build on it. Lots of competitors sprang up and took advantage of the free engineering. IBM then released microchannel desktop architecture. It was faster, it had a cool OS, and it was proprietary. Notice, it no longer exists, and IBM doesn't sell desktops anymore? Seems really parallel.
