It's pretty ridiculous.

What happens if you go there and Sony have moved their EULA page and it just 404s? Does that mean there is no EULA at all and you can play without terms? Doubt Sony woild see it that way lol.

EULA should be displayed within the same context it is accepted.

Thanks a lot, Brexit :(

It might be your wife, but it might also be ladies clothing that is to blame. As guys we get nice big jean pockets to keep our phones in, ladies just get tiny useless pockets if they even exist, which is why the phone is in the jacket pocket instead, and way less secure than jeans because the opening is likely at the side, not the top.

My dad used to keep his phone in his chest pocket on his shirt, and lost it in water twice. Once leaning over the toilet and it dropped in, the other leaning over a lake when he was fishing. RIP.

Where you store your phone when not in use makes a big difference lol.

I had so many good times on forums back in the day.

The personal nature of them was great for being social and making friends, but it was also good for the quality of the content for and user behaviour too.

When everyone recognises you and remembers your past behaviour, people put effort into creating a good reputation for themselves and making quality posts. It's like living in a small village versus living in a city.

The thought of being banned back then genuinely filled people with dread, because even if you could evade it (which many people couldn't as VPNs were barely a thing) you'd lose your whole post history and personal connection with people, and users did cherish those things.

The answer is very much "Don't run Photoshop"

“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said.

There's nothing 'altruistic' about reddit

Is the answer. Cheating is a mechanism to both have their cake, and eat it.

If I send you on stage at the Olympic Games opening ceremony with a sealed envelope

And I say "This contains your script, just open it and read it"

And then when you open it, the script is blank

You're gonna freak out

The fade should be slow and subtle. At first the client thinks they are just imagining it, but then they start getting customer support calls about the site being faded, and their bosses are pointing it out too in meetings, and as it happens more and more the panic really begins to set in.

Finally they reach out to you in a desperation when there's barely anything left of the site and ask you to urgently fix the problem, and you just shrug your shoulders sympathetically and explain it's happening because they haven't paid - but not like in a way that suggests you are doing it on purpose, but a way where it's simply an unavoidable natural consequence, like if you didn't pay your electricity bill your power would get cut and the site is slowly "dying" and fading away because of that.

They'd pay so fast.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
