We're not terraforming Mars. We'll get colonies there, though, if civilization doesn't crumble in the next decades.
Yes. to work on the fields to grow crops. how else we going to feed the rich?

Robots? Actually, maybe that's not a good idea.Yes. to work on the fields to grow crops. how else we going to feed the rich?
Probably when it's too late, messily and badly, and it will probably fail.

A bit cynical, perhaps, but the acclaimed board game terraforming Mars actually has some thoughtful science behind it. And yes, you play as mega corporations dividing up the planet.
Granted, it makes things sound a bit more cooperative(which it probably is: no single company or country will become powerful enough to do it by themselves), but you can bet the huge investments needed for it will draw the first borders on the planet.
The board game is of course an abstraction of the idea, but it's more realistic than just throwing things at the wall. After all, science fiction started out as an honest way to predict the future based on technological advancements.
And of course there'll be peasants. Best you can hope for is that it's not worth the first generation.

Just because we will be sharing a room doesn't mean I have changed my mind about sharing @Flame with you
Yes and avoid the shitty 2012 remake

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
