and cable companies and cell phone providers why not , too? at least, this is how i imagine some middle-manager pitched this idea. probably got a promotion, too |

have you played the secret of monkey island epic? it reminds me of Stan the used ship salesman and all his optional extras |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
also relevant: "let's just send out the game half-done, and finish it with software patches later" |

i loved those sort of games -- day of the tentacle, space quest, indiana jones -- but, no i never got around to monkey island. i've heard loads of people speak glowingly of it, though |

it can go up but it costs extra to come down again |
||||||||

you need to remedy that ASAP! but make sure its the original cd rom version running under SCUMMVM or something |
||||||||

my sister and i were both into them, we had quite a few, even some squabbling over whose turn it was with the CD. i remember "zork" became a brand and put out a few decent ones, i saw my sister playing that but never got around to it myself because it was her disc day of the tentacle was good, but sam & max was better. that actually, briefly, was turned into a cartoon. |

"Boeing charges extra, for example, for a backup fire extinguisher in the cargo hold. Past incidents have shown that a single extinguishing system may not be enough to put out flames that spread rapidly through the plane. |

“There are so many things that should not be optional, and many airlines want the cheapest airplane you can get,” said Mark H. Goodrich, an aviation lawyer and former engineering test pilot. “And Boeing is able to say, ‘Hey, it was available.’” |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
But what Boeing doesn’t say, he added, is that it has become “a great profit center” for the manufacturer. |
||||||||
|

|
|
it just utterly insane that they sell safety features as optional extra, not just for ethical reasons, but when a plan crashes due to lack of them surely it reflects really badly on Boeing, i mean hasn't this already cost them in cancelled sales |

day of the tentacle is wicked flying on a boeing, apparently less so. the dollar is god etc |

i like to think the withholding of safety features paid for his stone paving |
