    Greedo said it to Hans which is why Hans opened fire, in the later edits the line was completely removed to allow Greedo to shoot first.

    This is not the explanation you are looking for.

    Mod parent up!

    The Steam DRM is very unintrusive. The ability to gather all my games in one place for easy redownloading far outweighs the lack of ability to resell your games second hand.

    As the parent says, you can even install the games on multiple machines - for example if you are visiting a friend and wants to access your game library - you just cannot play on more than one machine simultaneously.

    Also, they have great sales :) I have a backlog of about 60 unplayed games or so...

    I can hardly remember any "Apps" before the iPhone showed up. These things were used to be called "Computer programs.".

    I actually remember them being called "applications" from time to time. I googled the term now, and mostly find different MacOS dialog boxes, so I guess it was a MacOS term initially too.

    I bought my first computer there prebuilt, and it had a severe cooling problem that had to be fixed, but usually I hold them in high regard. I think that I am migrating to Webhallen instead now for those PC parts they have in stock, mostly because of their new shop in town. Otherwise I use Komplett and fetch my stuff in the Big Postal Building.

  24. Re:Um.... on ISP Guarantees Net Neutrality, For a Fee · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why not just demand fiber to the home for $30/month. That would be nice and isn't totally impossible. The big national Telco over here offers fiber to the home for the equivalent of $25 for a 0.25/0.25 line. A 10/10 line is $40 though and a 100/10 is $45.

    That doesn't inlude the cost to get the fiber actually installed, mind you, but when it is installed by someone it stays there and you can get these subscriptions.

    If I would start calling myself the president of the United States, would that make it true? How people identify themselves and what they really are are two different things.
