  1. Re:Consumers vs. Business on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the FCC steps in, they may not be ABLE to pull it without incurring their wrath. The FCC DOES have teeth when motivated.

  2. Re:I don't understand on EA Releases DRM License Deactivation Tool · · Score: 1

    Ive never understood people's belief that companies can ignore basic rights of trade.

  3. Re:To the extent that they lightened the DRM load: on EA Releases DRM License Deactivation Tool · · Score: 1

    Letting a friend borrow a game should not be problematic.

  4. Re:In Holland it's even worse on PRS Demands License Fee To Play Music To Horses · · Score: 1

    Isnt that fraud?

  5. Re:The vapor cloud on Game Companies Face Hard Economic Choices · · Score: 1

    IM highly skepical of OnLive's ability to deliver, I cant even play PS1 titles on my PSP via remote link with my PS3 on a local network without noticeable delay.

  6. Re:saving on Peter Molyneux On Developmental Experimentation · · Score: 1

    The game is all about choices and consequences.

  7. Re:Why does CmdrTaco put up with kdawson? on Mixed Outcome of Texas Textbook Vote · · Score: 1

    Beyond that, if you look at the moderation guidelines, it shows that slashdot wants to provoke discussion. Trolls often produce vitriolic reactions in the opposing side that enlighten us all. Im not saying all trolls are good, but slashdot would be lessened without their presence.

  8. Re:Worth posting? on New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did you even PLAY R&C Future? IT was visually stunning, well crafted and highly polished. Please enlighten me as to what Mario has done to push his genre forward since Mario 64 that you would consider newsworthy.

  9. Re:New Open-Source Train Simulator openBVE goes v1 on New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thanks for ensuring that I will NEVER even look at this. Good job. Im sure quite a few of the fellow denizens of this realm will agree.

  10. Disapponited with Quest for Booty on New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    None of your weapons or skills carried over from R&C Future, was a very short game, not enough time to get back to the level you were at in Future. I probably wont be picking this up as I really dont feel like starting over AGAIN. I realize that game makers have to allow for a learning curve in almost every installment, but i just felt really weak and limited in Quest for Booty, with not enough time to 'ahem' ratchet up the weaponry, as it were.

  11. Considering the subject matter on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 1

    nothing on earth deserves a critical eye then religion. It truly is life or death(and beyond). We put advertisers trying to sell us laundry detergent under more scrutiny then we do the claims of religions.

  12. Re:A little too alarmist on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thoughtcrime, of course.

  13. Re:Standard on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 1

    Because none of us were ever children.......

  14. Re:Sigh on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    My PS2 fanboy friends used to give me a hard time about that dongle because the PS2 does DVD playbackit out of the box. That is until i pointed out that I could save my games out of the box.....

  15. Re:Not traditional DRM? on Stardock, Microsoft Unveil Their Own New Anti-Piracy Methods · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Piracy isnt about avoiding DRM, its about showing the companies who's boss.

  16. Re:Wow... on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    All sensored lights are also timed , just for that eventuality. The light WILL turn green, but you might have to wait for it.

  17. Re:Wow... on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    I dont like cameras enforcing law, but as a compromise I DO like taking out the vendor profit.

  18. Re:Wow... on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    AS a side note, in CA the state legislature puts limits on how much small towns can ticket out of towners. IF a small town is writing tickets far in excess of its population, they step in.

  19. Three strikes plan? on TechDirt's Masnick Responds To Warner's Jim Griffin On Choruss · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Since when did produced, professional music become such a life necessity that the labels think it is important to get a blanket fee from EVERYONE? MUSIC FILES SHOULD BE FREE, PERFORMANCES SHOULD BE PAID FOR, THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY DEFINITION OF A MUSICIAN.

  20. Touch users have to pay??? on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 3, Insightful

    WHy does apple do this kind of crap? Is the touch less expensive or subsidized or ANYTHING that would justify having to pay vs their Iphone counterparts?

  21. Re:GTA prevents cop kills on Utah Senate, House Pass Jack Thompson's Game Sales Bill · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Violence is a learned behavior? I cant think of a more natural action then violence. Really irritates me when people forget that humans are still animals, driven by the same urges as animals, with only sentience to quell it. When one animal kills another we ascribe no malice to it, but when a human does it all of a sudden its a crime against god....

  22. Re:Faulty reasoning? on Netflix Throttling Instant Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    Tell me what country you live in AC, and I will explain how our VAST landmass is actually harder, more expensive to wire. The biggest factor in U.S. broadband adoption and policy is geography, period

  23. Re:Not Netflix fault. on Netflix Throttling Instant Video Streaming · · Score: 2, Informative

    I watched 4 hours of Netflix last night without a hitch. Granted it was really late at night, but it was just like watching normal TV.

  24. Re:!news on Blockbuster Total Access Unannounced Policy Change · · Score: 1

    All the B&M stores are horrible overpriced. Hollywood video charges $9 for PS3, 360 games, its insane when the rental charge is close to 20% of the retail cost of the game.

  25. Re:From the Article on Experience System, New Maps Coming To Gears of War 2 · · Score: 1

    Remember back when addons were free? ahh the good ole days...... Epic has fallen so far.
