Wi-fi and tables are available at the bookstore but they don't expect you to run your business, host clients, create displays on the tables (seen this done before!). CES and Vegas in general benefit from having a formal process and presenteres paying a fee and going through a process. Of course the hotel (and Vegas and CES) wouldn't want this.

Comment CDs used to cost $20 (Score 1) 536

CDs were $15 - 20 for two decades. It came out that they cost $1 to produce. The music industry pushed the limit on this price for years. Then the bottom fell out and they can't give away CDs now. They were forced to go back to singles (iTunes) for a buck and MP3 albums for $5 online. Go into a music store now, CDs are $8-10 max. And that's new releases. You guys are fools for paying $60 for a game.

Comment Back to the Future (Score 1) 712

Doctor Brown said in 1985 (Back To The Future) that he was going 30 years into the future. Were things in Back To The Future II correct for 2005? If he REALLY traveled to 2005 or 2010, would he be that impressed? No flying cars, no using garbage for fuel, no perfect weather service. I remember 1985 and other than the internet and faster computers and things getting smaller, meh. Medicine? You're kidding me! People die all the time from going to the hospital and getting an infection or a goof dr cutting out the wrong body part. I'm still stuck in...1985...Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana...

I love the CentOS project and what it represents. If someone wanted an Enterprise level Linux for a web server and didn't have the funds to pay for Red Hat, this was a wonderful solution. If you are a major company, pay for Red Hat but if you are a small company, self-employed, there is nothing wrong with open source and free. You don't complain about MySQL users getting that for free. You don't complain that you develop in Eclipse and JavaBeans for free. PHP development etc. So why do you guys think Linux should cost money? Okay, they mismanaged things and one guy had it all. The people who really lose out are the ones who donated their time and money via Paypal to help the project. But as a CentOS user, okay, I change the repo setting to the new site and keep rocking.

CPanel? Granted, some web hosting companies will give this to you free (HostGator)..most don't. And you may have money to BURNNNNNN but my gosh, do you want to pay $30 A MONTH for this? Use Webmin. It's free.

They should just cut out the first 60 levels then. What's the point now? People will zip through the game now and not even take time to appreciate all the terrain, mobs, etc. The experience. I like MMORPGs in part because I like to explore. If 10 years olds want to jump to the end, fine. But I think that's a problem in our society. That people want a Youtube version of a movie or a Cliff notes of a book. People need to slow down and "enjoy" things.

Comment WOW ain't packing so much WOW anymore (Score 1) 209

I was a late starter in WOW but I was playing last year and into this year. I enjoyed it to a point but then it got boring and the grind of it all got to me. But I loved the game overall and was only planning to take a hiatus. I've been gone longer than I expected and dreaded coming back and having to spend hours doing things but at least that was the way the game *used* to work. I'm reading that patch 3.2 they will be lowering first mount to lvl 20 and other mount lvls will be lowered to. What? Is Blizzard going to get to the point where you get a mount at lvl 1. Noobs need to pay their dues in sweat. I was broke, penniless and lost when I first started playing...now people are boo-hooing and getting what they want. This game is ruined. I've been looking at Runes of Magic as a free alternative...Free Realms...Perfect World...maybe I'll take up AOC of LOTRO. But someone really needs to redefine MMORPGs because the concept is getting old and played.

Journal Journal: Runes of Magic, WOW clone to the extreme

"I used to play World of Warcraft and I got fairly addicted to it. I have always enjoyed fantasy type games and the MMORPG appeal to me. I've always been a casual gamer/retro gamer until WOW. Well, I bought the Battle Chest and eventually WOTLK expansion pack, I paid my $15/month. But I got fatigued and also had to finish my senior project for college and I was changing jobs so I put my WOW acct on hold. I wanted to start up again but wanted to try something new maybe.
