    Or they as said above will continue building a bigger database about you, your friends, and anything you do. The data isn't evil, what they do with it might be.

    OH, I understand that. I was mostly pointing out that to me I understood your comment that because it was printed it wasn't tampered with. I agree the printed part, but it looks like you all ready agree with me on the script that prints it.

    I have to point out though, if you are one writing the script that spits out the log, you can make any changes on the fly regardless of how it is printed out. If you tell the system to change every word of apple to banana, even if the "log" is 100% not tampered with after printed, it was tampered on the way there.

  7. Re:From the article on Weirdest DLC Sponsorship Ever: SimCity, Brought To You By Crest · · Score: 1

    I hate to say it, but it kinda makes sense in the sims. Which is why I agree with the article, I don't like that the life was in there, but at least it is real content? People do were that clothing, and use that furniture. So it at least fits the world. http://community.simtropolis.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1 In simtropolis, modders put in brand names. I picked Ford, but anyone will do. Is it an add? Or are they getting real simulations? Granted you don't have to pay for this, just download it and add. When you buy something not related to get something is more an add IMHO.

  8. Re:Your kid, spending your money . . . on UK Gov To Investigate 'Aggressive' In-app Purchases · · Score: 1

    the problem is this detaches the child from the fact of spending money. With real money, they have something physical. When you buy something they loose something physical. If they get something physical in return, the see it. If they don't get something physical in return, the feel it. This is a learning process. Child CC's are tool by the industry to suck you into the industry soon. It used to be they aimed at college as that was the first "fresh meat". Even if you got with a child CC, you better be making that child earn there money. Giving a child money each week wont teach them anything. So what if I spend it, I get more next week.

    How many credit card readers are on NT4? I know that back in the day the one at the store I worked at was. That was a long time ago, but if it works why change it? Maybe somebody could point out. Also was fun knowing what to push to get nt screen. I forget now though.

    It might be lower, I don't know. (70% of statistics are made up anyway). I know my immediate family have 3 phones. I can get 1-3 people at any one given time. Does that mean that it is like I will get a random person? No, but it is food for thought.
