Now where's my stillsuit! :D
I've wanted one of those forever!

Yup... These are indeed key phrases to keep in mind whilst talking about the Government. Idealism and what's right fail in the presence of Government agenda.

Haha. No, not rly. Since they were giving away content that was - to everyone else - already worth paying for. To my knowledge, most of the content Youtube-creators offer is most certainly NOT worth paying for to begin with. I'm sure the giant lawsuit wasn't much fun either.

... The PS3 isn't? It's like they stuffed 10 pounds of good hardware into a machine 3 sizes too small... they went from || to () lol. Nintendo had the right idea, shrink that shit. Sure they didn't play up the graphics as much, but at least it's still worthy of being called a console and not a PC. If the other's get much bigger, they may as well just tack a display on it thing and call it a day. Now I'm rambling and it's all your fault.

FINALLY, a chance to use my green foam HULK SMASH! novelty gloves!

Thanks for enlightening me. I don't know much about such things, but it still seems petty in light of current events. Also, I did indeed read TFA, and saying that it "benefits the entire community" still seems a bit of a stretch to me.

Using public money borrowed against future generations, to build an unnecessary private bridge for one of the most profitable companies in America.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Jesus, now I need some Tylenol.
Walls are free, go put your head through one.

You Sir, Win. Too bad you've been modded troll.

... Did you seriously just call the US & Australia 3rd world? srsly?

Nintendo moved away from a great piracy deterrent, cartridges!
Sure they probably cost just a smidgen more to produce, but maybe it'd be balanced by what they lose out on from piracy.

She was the only good part about that movie. Doom was fine for a Sci-Fi flick, but a disgrace to Doom, IMHO.

This HL short is awesome though, seemingly better quality and more captivating than Hollywood production.

If it's fun and relatively harmless, it's illegal.
But if it's fun, and could kill you, it's legal.

I had been building for several years, but only ever for fun. Recently I began doing it as a service for others, and even more recently started actively promoting my services. I bill by the hour, but I've made it a practice to require a deposit before I begin work, as well as requiring clients to maintain a balance to which I can bill the work (thus avoiding being ripped off). I haven't bothered with any contracts, and so far none of the businesses that I've worked with have requested that one be drawn up. Since my references are reputable, they take me at my word. A little trust can eliminate a lot of hassle.

Sometimes I'll go fishing for clients. If I know of a business that needs a website, I might do up a design and tease them with it. "Look what YOU could have!". It's a good way to grease the wheels with any prospective client.
