From another article I saw [1] it appeared that there was half a million spent in severance for a single employee. Others were listed as well, in 100k range, and the article author left out the names of the employees. [1] http://

I joined one of those 7-day coding competitions for a game. I ended up with a framework for making games, but no game. Needless to say, I came in last place.

When successful people get together, they aren't usually "mean", or bad people. pg is successful, so his claim is naturally immature. For the rest of us, it's pretty obvious that successful people are mean, for the mo

He definitely knows his stuff. I played on the original Sojourn MUD and when EverQuest came out I was surprised at how much they straight ripped off Sojourn. Most MMO players haven't even heard of MUDs, much less Sojourn.
