The thing with cards is that while you are almost certain to get things straigntened out eventually in the meantime they can be rendered useless which can leave you in a very sticky situation and card details can be stolen easily and quietly by any merchant you use the card with.

I too have played this mission, and while I agree with your statement - saying "dozens" is a little bit of a misnomer. There were many more than a few dozen. Not having read forums or seen clips before playing; I had expected maybe a hostage situation with you partaking in the executions... But this is more on par with "State of Emergeny"'s level of casualties. Granted no where near as graphic, but the volume is there. I'm not complaining or saying I was offended in anyway. Nor am I taking a stance with Russia in banning this. I'm just saying you can't battle misinformation with misinformation.

Right, because goofing off is only allowable for managers, who have their own offices, not programmers. After all, we all know that having a desk in a quiet, distraction free location means that one is up to no good. What other reason would someone want this kind of environment? The same goes for libraries and other quiet settings, it clearly means that people are up to no good.

You're going to overlook quite a few very talented programmers with that kind of attitude.

Your imagination must be quite primitive. Mine did that instantly upon reading your post.

the game engine doens't have to support it, just ship different editions.

Ever hear of robots.txt?

As an ex-Mac user, and a video game fan, the rule is that the Mac version of the number 1 game usually comes out about 3 months after everybody else has already gotten sick of playing it to death.

I modded him "Flamebait" because there's no "Ignorant of basic EM physics" option.

That's why I buy Dell. They always provide the OS CD, and it's always a crapware-free version.

64-bit Vista doesn't have driver support issues for new hardware; it's just the legacy hardware that's problematic. (Though quite a bit of it didn't get Vista drivers at all—I'm looking at you, HP.)

The UN years back said, as best as I can paraphrase, "The soverignty of a planet is dicated by it's inhabitants."

Effectively the first people to get there own Mars as a whole.

First people there get to start carving up the planet into lots and sell them.

That is a lot of industrial space for landfills, mining operations, toxic waste storage, etc.

I for one would gladly go with a team of 6-12 people just for the purpose of establishing the Martian Government, then promptly emminent domaining the whole friggin planet and granting equal portions of the planet to the 6-12 people living there. Then a few UN treaties later bequeathing my land stake to my relatives back on Earth since international and Interplanetary treaties are "The law of the land."

Think of the wealth opportunities and you will get MILLIONS of volunteers to go. 5 million square miles of potential mineralogical weath is more then enough motivation to secure your bloodline's fortunes far beyond even those crooks the Kennedy's could ever have dreamed. Even from a raw space issue a 4 mile deep toxic waste storage facility is going to pan out money.

I know 40 elderly 70+ folks that would go just to die on another planet. Hell (ironic?) we could turn Mars, at the very least into a giant planet sized mosoluem\graveyard.

"The soverignty of a planet is dicated by it's inhabitants."

That phase carries weight many are missing...
