   suppose everyone did the exact opposite. they saved like crazy and only spent enough to survive. then the economy collapses for lack of consumption, no!? something seems deeply wrong here.

    i was on their side until the bit about patenting this. but what does their patent mean? if i deploy this solution for my own games, or make a business deploying it for others, will they come after me?

    :\ really no focus? even something general like, "web development" (as opposed to "game development", "financial software"). i'm curious because i wonder what fields it's easy to find work in again after a year off.
