   I remember reading a story about a company who was advised by its lawyers to simply never look for stuff online, for reasons close to yours. The off chance that you could read about someone's pregnancy (something that you should not ask i

   How do you reward random difficulty? People play games because it reward them. The learning process, the milestones, the journey. Let's take your idea of randomness and apply to a genre, space combat. Let's say most people are conditioned t

   Spend at least some to get a real lawyer opinion. Should cost you a few hundred dollars for some hours of his time. Ask him to present you with several options, there's a whole spectre in the middle of lawsuit and doing nothing. For example

   Er, ok... assuming that by "post Opera unite era" you mean people running servers on their machine to share content, why adding framed stuff to the mix make it so horrifying? I guess I'm lacking imagination or the right security mindset her

    Hey, I just want to apologize. While I still think your title is wrong (er... it is a gratuitous editorial spin), when I woke up this morning I regretted writing in that tone while drunk. Not something that I would do face-to-face, I assure

    People already copy games (similar price range) which are 5gb+ nowaways. Downloading a couple mbs of pdf is a no brainer. Going from 80 to 50 is not a new business model, unless I misunderstood what you said.

    Interesting, how do you think it fits with your Founder Visa essay? Is it possible to extrapolate and say that 26 companies == 200 jobs, maybe 10k companies ~= 75k jobs? . IMHO, not quite, since 10k companies wouldn't get funded the way cur

    I don't think so. What happens today is this: Let's say you have a business and want to advertise on TV. You approach an advertising agency, who usually deals with the whole chain. They'll write a script, hire the production company, and th

    Horrible type of humor, IMHO. I am known for making some hardcore jokes, but I try not to laugh, and profit, from others people horrors. Just like I want others to not laugh from mine. And no, I won't "lighten up and laugh, life is funny".
