Oh yes, everything you said is true, but it's more a reply to the idiots who insist it's like giving Teletubbies games an AO because someone could replace the DVD in the box with Jenna Jameson in "Just about everyone".
Bethesda claimed otherwise though so your confusion is understandable. Note though that take 2 claimed hot coffee wasn't on the PC disk... until it was found in the PS2 version.
Exactly. How would it be if, for instance the story was "Browse child porn in the US and never get caught!"
While I recognise the obvious other problems with that content the basic principle is the same, you're trying tobreak another country's laws simply because you disagree with them. It's basically trying to imprint your morals on the world, something it's fair to say western countries have been accused of before.
As far back as the initial release of 95 it stuck a bunch of advert shortcuts on your desktop to "preferred online services"
That said, given they're apparently not allowed to bundle it could be used to put a bunch of possible 3rd party media players into an ad and say "These are pretty good". Then they could include Media Player and get away with it.
The ESRB said ", as well as the presence of a locked-out art file or 'skin' that, if accessed through a third party modification to the PC version of the game, allows the user to play with topless versions of female characters,' "
Why is it everyone is being ignorent of this very central point.
The content being rated is everything shipped on the disk whether you can access or not. If you create something that was never on the disk it won't affect the rating.
Hot coffee was on the disk, but hidden. This was on the disk, but hidden, your topless princess will not be.
No, it's more like saying childrens books should be rated R if page 100 is blank but if you shine uv light on it, it's a picture of Jenna Jameson.
The content IS there (although I'd debate said content is worth an M), it's just not normally visible. If someone produced an patch for oblivion that added porn videos to all the walls, then that content was not on the disk and shouldn't affect the rating.
It's actually a serious question. Becuause unions can't stop an employer making people redundant. They might make it more expensive but I can't see how they can prevent it.
True, or alternatively they could accept that the people who give a toss will find alternatives anyway and butt the fuck out of the operating system I want to install.
To be honest, as a majorly windows user, all this "choice" is giving me, is a complete pain in the arse to reinstall since apparently I have to download half the OS. Or have them ship it on 9 DVDs and make me choose my browser (which will be out of date, it's not like firefox is security patch proof), media player, notepad program, calculator, boot manager, login screen software, hard disk browser etc etc.
Far, far better alternatives would be the following.
A) force Microsoft to open up proprietary formats. On the condition of course that if say, Real want it for their player, they have to provide MS with their formats in return.
b) Allow IE bundling but force them to make the default start up page one that says "We've given you this browser but here's some alternatives you might like to give a shot". Make this page always avaliable from the "help" menu, just like the about box is.
c) On first use of the search function, allow users some pretty picture logos and say "so which one for default then?"
Common sense solutions that don't make me, the man who wants all the MS defaults (although I do use Firefox as my main browser) take 3 days and 9 disks to install.
(3) Maybe better access to health care in the US results in a higher rate of diagnosis, rather than a higher rate of illness? That would explain the nearly identical lifespan, but only if the better access to healthcare makes little difference to lifespan.
You think the US has "better access to healthcare" than the UK?

Because, once again, there are no testicles on the tron disk (or rom). The models that were re-rated in Oblivion ARE on the disk.
You understand wrong.
It's unlocking just like hot coffee.
Bethesda claimed otherwise though so your confusion is understandable. Note though that take 2 claimed hot coffee wasn't on the PC disk... until it was found in the PS2 version.
I think the vast majority of 2001-2006 .com faliures were run into the ground by technical staff not doing anything that makes any bloody money.
Exactly. How would it be if, for instance the story was "Browse child porn in the US and never get caught!"

I'm very uneasy about this.

Do you also wait until software is 100% finished, completely bug free and blazingly quick before you use it?
Because if so how the hell did you manage to post this?
As it's "M" rated I'm going to say "People over 17"
No, it wasn't. Bethesda are claiming that.
The ESRB said ", as well as the presence of a locked-out art file or 'skin' that, if accessed through a third party modification to the PC version of the game, allows the user to play with topless versions of female characters,' "
i.e - what's ALREADY on the disk.
Only if said skin was ALREADY in the game!

As I recall, getting very pissed off with Braben over it.
And how do unions effectively fight outsourcing?
It's actually a serious question. Becuause unions can't stop an employer making people redundant. They might make it more expensive but I can't see how they can prevent it.

And if there's no bundled internet connectivity allowed, how the fuck are they supposed to download IE!
True but the point I was addressing was that apparently people in the US have better access to healthcare, which is patently false.
Except in the UK you have that option too, do you think we don't have a private healthcare industry or something?
You have every private option you have in the US and the addition of the state scheme.
Oh look! He put an $ in "Microsoft"
That's clever!

Indeed, because of course there's no ethnic minorities in the UK at all.
Oprah.
Although of course you'll be the first to complain when games are suddenly more expensive.
It's irrelevent anyway, you're already broadcasting your ip address.
Great except.
Radio 1. Indicative of the general public, spent considerable time ripping the name apart when announced.
My Dad. Indicative of people who don't give a toss about games answered me telling him with "You're kidding right?"
So, The hardcore hate it, the softcore hate it and the nocore hate it.
Just who exactly IS their target market again?
