jujubees writes "What is going on with Electronic Arts these days? This morning it was revealed that EA is trying to acquire 19.9% of the Ubisoft shares owned by Dutch investment company Talpa Beheer B.V. If approved by the US Antitrust department, the buyout would instantly make EA the biggest shareholder, ahead of the Guillemot brothers. Whether this is a hostile takeover attempt is not clear at this point, no financial terms were disclosed." An anonymous reader also wrote in to mention a GamePro Editorial about the company, regarding its past as an honorable games-maker and its current reputation.

Are 'tards people? by gumpish · 2004-12-20 14:12 · Score: 0, Troll

I hold as self evident that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among them: life, liberty, and property.

But what group of beings is denoted by "we"? How can a 'tard have the right to life if it has no hope of comprehending what life is?
