SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: [snip]

: Thin indeed. Many - if not most - of the people who
: bought the Xbox to play Halo were already computer
: gamers. Micro$oft will want all of those players to
: buy the Mac/PC version as well. So let's buy into your
: math above and go further and suppose that half of
: those 100,000 emailers/letter writers/phone callers
: end up buying the Mac/PC Halo anyway to get the extra
: content. So they sell 50,000 additional copies at the
: cost of ignoring 100,000 messages.

: What exactly do you suppose it costs Micro$oft to ignore
: 100,000 angry messages? Can there be any software
: company on the planet more accustomed to ignoring
: angry computer users than Micro$oft?

Great freakin' point!
