A lot of people pointed out various problems with hypertext fiction, but I think one of the bigger ones is the fact that an author wants a story read from beginning to end so that they don't waste effort on stuff the reader won't read. A lot of people have also mentioned that most examples of hypertext fiction have instead been called games, and I think a successful one would probably need to be approached more like developing a game than writing a story, with multiple writers branching off of a main trunk and working collaboratively. It could be an opportunity to explore different characters, ideas or settings that the trunk hints at but doesn't develop fully. So, in a sense, one could consider all of those "universe" novels (e.g. Star Wars universe, Star Trek universe) to be hypertext fiction of a sort, since that's essentially what they do.

While I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, do you have any proof to back up your assertion? Or do I just have to take you at your word?

Seems like the OP could stand to learn some googling skills.

What you're buying isn't a ticket to watch a specific movie, you're buying a ticket to sit in a particular theater at a particular time--they just happen to be showing a movie at that time. Thus, the response to low demand for a particular movie isn't to lower the cost for seeing that movie, it's to show more showings of a movie that *is* getting butts in those seats. And you'll notice that's what happens. The poor performing movies fade from theaters much more quickly than more successful ones, which often times end up playing on more than one screen. *That's* why they continue to charge the same price for movie tickets.

Now, you could make an argument that the price of an individual showing should react to demand, but I'm not sure how that'd work. Responsive pricing means that the first few people get screwed on their ticket price if demand turns out to be less than expected and the price drops, or the price of the last few seats to a popular showing is going to be much higher, which probably wouldn't fly well with people, and I'm not sure there's a big incentive for the theaters to do that. Increasing the price of tickets for popular movies seems to be a great way to incentivize people who can wait for DVD releases to do so, and theaters are already struggling against that mindset.

To be fair, IE/Mac was a pretty different beast from IE/Win. You might as well have been developing for a different browser altogether anyway. Granted, they may have eventually gotten some sort of parity, but it would've taken a lot longer.

Also, IE10 is what's shipping with Windows 8.

I get the feeling that corrupt organizations (and, lets face it, if your organization requires the death of a blogger for reporting on your activities, it is corrupt) won't be particularly eager to legitimize themselves. There's more to organized crime than drugs, and I think they're likely resourceful enough to move onto the next lucrative illegal activity in the absence of an illicit drug trade.

Where's everyone getting the 90 day thing? It's 270 days. I believe accessing it over POP/Exchange ActiveSync will count as activity as well.

For standard checking & savings accounts, they are just as federally insured (via the NCUA rather than the FDIC) as an account with a bank. I can't think of any standard you could measure them by that would make them more risky than banks.

I've lived in 3 different states and had no issues keeping my credit union account from my first state.

Make sure the credit union is part of an ATM network like the Co-Op Network, and you'll be able to use plenty of ATMs all over the place, free of charge. I usually deposit my checks this way. Most CU's make around $200 of the deposit available immediately, with the rest coming as the check clears, which is usually enough cash to last 'til it clears in a day or two. Or, alternately, sign up for a credit union that has online e-deposit; you can deposit funds by taking a picture of your check; no need to even visit a bank.

All the various clients? Uh... what clients were there besides the official Skype client? I don't remember seeing any, and believe me, I looked.

Part of the reason handicapped spaces are special is because people need the extra space around the spot to get into/out of the vehicle. This wouldn't work under your model unless all of these flexible spaces are handicap accessible.

As long as they get no handicapped parking sticker along with that, I'm in full support. :)

If the search was conducted illegally, how can you trust the evidence not to have been tampered with?

As has been noted elsewhere, hydrogen fuel cells are very efficient at converting hydrogen back into energy (around 75%). Is there anything comparable for hydrocarbons? Today's engines are only around 20% efficient at doing that.
