Time value of money exists! Read all about it!

I hope they asked themselves the question before they got started, "What things can we do that will make ours better than what else is out there?"

But that's not what the law says and not what was meant by the people who wrote it.

The company ripping of MapleStory made a lot of money doing so and the fine was too light if anything.

Judges intepret and apply laws, they shouldn't be writing them or basing what they think the penalty should be on what they think is right. That is the job of the democratically elected legislature. No one voted for this judge.

Well, you did come to the one website on earth where that would be possible. Don't be so surprised.

Why do I need to know someone else's opinion about a game when I can play a demo myself or read a one-man-blog who reviews it? Or watch a preview video on Youtube?

Nonsense.
If I build a TV station and I decide I don't want to broadcast your crap, it's not censorship. You are guaranteed a right to speak, not a right to be heard.

If there was some tie in to emotional maturity,patience, wisdom, or even raw intelligence, that would better validate the value of VG more than just changes in the shape of the brain - which is quiet common among those engaged in repetitive mental behavior just like muscle develops according to to repetitive physical behavior.

What do you think the "C" in "LLC" stands for, genius?

Meat from cows is made of molecules.

Meat from a lab can be made from the same molecules.

If your tongue and your stomach can't tell the difference, what does it matter? *shrug*

I'm going to stab at your ignorant meme.

Bankers paid back all of the money from TARP with interest. It netted the US treasury a profit to spend on Pell Grants, food safety, and whatever other benevolent things you think government does.

The portion of TARP that did loose money was that which was invested in GM and Chrysler. Many billions lost - but that was solely to bail out the unions, not the companies. If they had gone into bankruptcy, they would have shed their union obligations and continued making cars.

It was comrade Obama's venture socialism in 'green jobs' that cost taxpayers.

Stop pretending you speak for the 99%. Get a job, anonymous coward freak.
