I respectfully disagree. The Chinese know how to undercut the US in prices which was often in the form of inferior goods. They also have cheap labor and tax breaks, so companies who want to make a product will typically set up shop there. The Chinese government officials really like money. They like it so much that they don't even care about human rights. Caring about human rights is just a weakness when you're focused on greed and power.

DC 1rst place for online gambling! April 12th

This seems to be a many pronged approach. 1) The government loves to interfere with your life to give you the idea that you're being controlled, not them.
2) The government is going to make online gambling taxable, and wants no competition.
3) The government will seize all the cashouts for the next few months like they did in 2009 for extra money.

(The following is a joke, don't get upset), Obama must be tired of making spending cuts so he needs to take poker player's money :P

From what I can tell the law in 2009 said,"You can't deposit money", but I had my money on the site before 2009, I'm a winning poker player and as such I never have to deposit. I turned $1.20 into $1,300. If the US was smart, they'd let profitable poker players still play because we can bring in more money and buy more goods which helps the state's sales taxes.

(heresay following, I may be wrong) At one point Steve Jobs said it is cool for 3rd party developers to make applications. This flew in the face of other corporations at the time like ATARI and IBM who were trying to say,"Only the hardware manufacturer had the right to make applications" The world would be a much darker place if only hardware manufacturers could make applications for so many reasons I don't feel the need to list them here. In fact... some of the corporations are trying to backtrack on this today that,"Only some companies can make applications on their hardware."

Comment Thank you Slashdot, this impacts me directly (Score 1) 174

I have a Flash video game, I wrote over the past year(about 800+ hours worth of work by me, maybe 4,000 man hours across the project). I think it just might run on Tablets easy. I'm going to drive to Best Buy and run a version of it on their store product because I don't actually own a tablet myself. So thank you Slashdot. I get to get out tomorrow.

Now here is a question, if you write a hit game on Android and sell it for $0.99 in their ap store, what would you make in profits?

Comment Re:Not mutually exclusive. (Score 1) 735

Exactly. I wrote a book with an article with this in it. The book was approved by God. I prayed to God over the book just before it was published. I wanted to know if my theory was okay or if I was overstepping my bounds in it, so I silently prayed,"God I hope everything is cool." Instantly through IM, my coauthor IMs me,"Everything is cool." Because God approves my book and this article is in it, I know "The Long Day Theory" is how things happened. This theory is so obvious that I came up with it on my own not even knowing others already did too.

Comment I'm a Christian that knows evolution is real. (Score 1) 735

Christianity and Evolution are very compatible. Christians should not challenge evolution, they should challenge their own theology. Just as God spoke to me one time to let me know he is real, he also let me know my first book was approved by him. In the book I wrote about God, I have an article entitled,"The Long Day Theory", Read it here

Comment This is a dream of mine (Score 1) 56

After accomplishing some of my major goals in life, I always wanted to start a video game museum for kids. My history(video games) will be lost if not preserved. Also, it is good for local kids to have something to do besides stay at home alone. The way the USA works with liability, there is nothing fun anywhere outside of places where you spend money. This is because if the place doesn't make money, some jerk sues them and they go out of existence.
USA: Bars, department stores, and the beach if you're lucky. And somehow it is still one of the best places to live.
