And how about their region locking [shacknews.com]? I travel a lot and have sometimes bought games while in other countries. Or what about people who move, do they suddenly lose their entire library of Steam games?
To answer your question because I asked them this because I often travel to Thai -> UK.
No.
You only lose access if you buy the game in Thailand and try to use it in UK. If you use your UK account in Thailand it's no problem.
This is nothing like say PI is 3. One state declaring it a planet has no effect on the rest of the world or even the people in the state.
Before you get so strung up on "politicians think they can legislate on scientific issues" I'd just like to remind you it was a bunch on elitist assholes in the first place that declared it wasn't in fact a planet anymore.
This is clearly a case of macro evolution that the ID people keep harping on about however like you predict with your sarcastic comment they'll spin it around.
You can only educate the uneducated, stupid people are untrainable.
Nope in this case the apps people submit can be used for promotional purposes and the winners get their application's copyright taken from them by EA if they win all just for one graphics card..
Awesome lets desig.. wa... what is this buried into the terms and conditions..

Hey how come they don't mention that on the main page?

Say what? Well then I'll just do my application for fun and not submit it.. oh wait!

We are not talking about reverting back to IBM terminals
um, yes we are.. from the article..
"I could see for schools or fixed function workstations. It would be terrific in there is nothing to touch and you can deploy those devices and everything takes place in one central location. As students or users leave, files can be cleaned or archived or whatever and from an administrative point of view that is a real plus
Don't let facts get in the way of your -1 disagree mods though..
True but Detective Conan doesn't feel like it's just dragging on and on. There is still a lot of story left in that series but it's always exciting and interesting so I'm happy to have another 300 or whatever episodes.
When Firefox came out most people didn't realise they even had a choice. It's hardly a fair comparison between 2004 and now, especially when it's from a company that has a horde of raging fanbois that will use anything they're told and like it.
Remedies has been around of thousands of years, we tested it all and the stuff which works was called "medicine"
The point I'm trying to make here is that these people that believe modern science is some how inferior to their new age hocus pocus need to be hit with the clue stick.
This goes especially for those idiots that believe in Homoeopathy.
So what? I'm here to make games not dick about on the PS3. If it costs more and is harder to program for then that's unattractive to me, the developer.
Firstly, NCsoft isn't going under however if it was the case liquidators do not bother with the resale of source code, at least that's the case in England, I can't speak for any other countries.

These statistics are useless. You can't just test one game and draw your conclusions to be that it's the driver.
At least test with more then one game you cherry picked because it gives faster speeds. That's the kind of shit Microsoft does.
I hope this author gets banned from slashdot because I fucking hate these kind of tactics.
Unless you're one or those weirdos that paints their walls with lead what's the problem?
I smell a sequel to cloverfield!

Although they can measure in different ways I wouldn't act like such a jackass unless you've actually been to the planet.
Also who cares what it's called. I see it as refreshing that they're at least not trying to deny its existence like the ID crowd do with evolution.
Yeah, I'm disappointed too.. Just some women harping on about the GCC compiler..

What a claim! Windows won't crash because it's on a mainframe!
What is it with trying to get everything back on a mainframe? It's dead already, just manage your desktops and stop trying to revive it.
umm.. That's no moon it's a..

It took me awhile but I found it. In Minnesota there is a road, although it's well hidden in the trees.
Then you just have a lack of imagination to invent.

Could be useful for mining out, then you have a massive deathstar spaceship made out of rock.
Not really it'd just piss me off and I'd never play the game again..
It's correct moron.
It's never going to be on par to content created by the company. It'll be poorly worded, have spelling mistakes or just be stupid.
"Go to the building and kill the guy"
Anyway, don't their subscribers pay them monthly? Hasn't anyone asked why they have to make the game content and pay for the privilege?
