They aren't picky about thier targets, they've sued a dead grandmother and people that don't have a computer. They don't retreat in the absence of incriminating evidence, instead blaming the defendant of destroying evidence. How do you think you'll never need this info personally?

Maybe offtopic, maybe square on-topic. Decide for yourself, and if you have this song, turn it on right now.
Secondly, if it IS gameplay, it's going to be the worst game in the world to control. The camera zooms about absolutely everywhere, in silly places, with little or no thought of what it's looking at or why it's chosen that angle (which suggests a bad camera director of a trailer than a game THAT poor at picking an angle).
Try playing one of the previous Prince of Persia games. You will find the zippy camera plays to it's strengths, and the controls are tight and effective. Then you will understand.
Third, some parts of it look absolutely grotesque. All the character's 3D models have outlines, ffs. The "grass" at the end looks like something out of Doom. The only decent parts are the far-off windmills over the town.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are many who like this artistic style, but you obviously are not one of them. Don't buy this game then.
Fourth, there is nothing of actual GAMEPLAY here, such as what you're doing, how you fight, how you see where to go next. NOTHING. It's some 3D models in an empty arena doing lots of jumping about to random locations.
This trailer was designed to show previous Prince of Persia fans the differences from the previous games. The only fault I find with it is that is was not designed for the uninitiated. Much of Prince of Persia has been in the platforming aspect of it. Impossible climbs, death-defying jumps and acrobatic maneuvers are part of the norm in this series, and part of what sets it apart from other action-adventures games.
Shame on them for making a trailer based on it's strengths and differences, rather then one showing how it's just like any other game.
Sorry, Nintendo fans, guess you have to go and buy another 3D remake for the DS.
I drank the kool-aid and pre-ordered FFIV for the DS months ago. I'm eagerly looking forward to re-living the nostalgia of the old FF2, but with the difficulty ramped up along with the graphics!
But I'm also excited for the FF13 coming to the 360, as I was hoping to avoid the PS3 purchase! Yay for the Wii/360/DS owners, and hopefully Sony will learn from thier arrogance.
I know you're looking into the router, but another option is to impose a limit in your BitTorrent client. I know UTorrent has functionality for restricting upstream and downstream speeds. Perhaps the client you are using has the same capabilities. Or perhaps I'm just made a worthless point, let the mods decide!

Read that again please:) Gah, don't know how I missed that. I stand corrected =D - Brain Cache Full...beginning dump.
I do not have *any* apple product (I am not their market) but I think the multitouch mouse with gestures in personal computers was a first. If you mean multitouch screen with gestures, I believe these guys had it first. I remember being introduced to this website when Apple was first showing off the technology. If you mean something else, please elaborate.

No, it's not. Sorry, but you make me laugh. This is a playground retort one makes near the jungle gym.
You should consider learning about software technology sometime. And this vague comment backs up your playground argument how? Perhaps I should suggest you seek assistance from an English major. Your Apple fanboyism is corrupting your brain, it would be best if you could seek some clarity. Or maybe stay away from the bananologer.

so I was hoping for some more creative suggestions."
Can't believe no-one has suggested a beowolf cluster of those!
How about organizing them in a ring and setting up tetri-net? Charge 50 cents a game until you have enough money to build a trebuchet. Use the trebuchet in a large Rube Goldberg machine that clubs baby seals. Charge $10 to view the machine in action.
Reading through the definition of the ordinance, everything seems to be linked to sales. IANAL, but I don't think this is applicable to single downloads.
If you have spindles upon spindles of illegally downloaded CD's or DVDs, they may try to put you under the manufacturing bit, but this seems geared more toward the guys you are actually selling, or producing for sale of illegally duplicated movies, music, and software.
Can't say I disagree with their desire to shut those guys down, as their money is usually spent on other classes of illegal pursuits, including meth.
(Ending sentence comes from personal observations of a family member and the groups he hung with, no sources will be provided)
Offline mode has never worked for me. I find this out everytime my DSL is down for whatever reason, and I actually want to play a single-player game. And then I can't... Try unplugging your network cable from the back of your computer. It may still be getting signal to your DSL box (even though it's not getting PAST your DSL box) and refusing to offer you offline mode. Worst case situation is that you need to uninstall and re-install steam. Backing up the game data files before uninstalling can make this a breeze...
I think it was the second or third page that corrects you with the "EVERY" ten days:

Quote: At least I hope the *this game requires internet activation to install* to install will be clearly marked on the box and in bigger letter than on Bioshock's box.
Yes, we have been told that there will be clear labeling on the package.
For clarity, though, an internet connection is not required to install, just to activate the first time, and every 10 days after. You can be completely connectionless for 9 days and encounter no problems playing Mass Effect. And you don't need the disk in the drive to play.

Steam makes me do this already, just to play Portal, for example. It's nothing new. Steam requests me to do this already, just to play Portal, for example. This however is a step beyond, if it is in fact true
There, fixed that for you. Just remember that you can play Portal and other steam games (at least the Valve created ones, I have no experience with the other published games through steam) without an internet connection, and you can even disconnect your netcable, login counterstrike offline, and then re-connect your net cable and play a lan game with other people using the same method (and offline login!).

"France's so-called Oliviennes strategy to combat copyright abuse includes a 'three strikes and you are out' approach: Offenders lose the right to an Internet account after being caught sharing copyright-protected music over the Internet for a third time
And now there is plenty of bandwidth available for the 326 remaining internet users in France!
- A person downloads songs for free.
- He/she likes the songs.
- He/she buys several CDs of that same artist, because they enjoy his or her work.
- The result is a several sales that would not have occured otherwise. I would agree with this if we were still in the dial-up age. User downloads 1-2 songs. User likes songs. User does not want to tie up phone line or bandwidth for 1-4 hours to download the rest of the album. User buys CDs.
Now with broadband speeds it's different, some still follow the "download, like, buy", but more often user downloads songs, user likes songs, user downloads the entire album catalog for artist with little impact to bandwidth, and no impact to phone line. User buys t-shirt of band. What we need to do is start making more t-shirts!!!
I like Blizzard, but this argument smells of Comcast logic.
"We sold you X access, but you are using X access. Even though we promised you X access, we really don't want you using X access, and we don't even want you using almost X access that much. So we're taking action."
-Comcast starts forging packets to kill bittorrent transfers, even though they advertise/sell that bandwidth, they don't want you using it all the time.
-Blizzard starts suing to kill automated clients that are in the game, even though they advertise/sell you that access, they don't want you using it all the time.
I understand there's more lying underneath, but this reasoning doesn't win them any sympathy from me.

You are missing something. The comment above mentions that Blizzard was already part of Vivendi. Blizzard already merged. Now they're merging again.
Just because you've played CSS, that doesn't mean you can be trusted with a rifle.
OK, I've been putting Cascading Style Sheets off for awhile, but now I HAVE to know what I'm missing! Guess that means no Counterstrike tonight!
