  2. Re:Change your attitude first on When DLC Goes Wrong · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You chose to give them your money. They *owe you nothing* other than what you could access out of the box. Unless you're paying a monthly fee, you have no entitlement to anything beyond that. If you are paying a monthly fee and the devs aren't performing as you think they should *stop paying them*.

  3. Re:Freedom of speech... on Worker Rights Extend To Facebook, Says NLRB · · Score: 2

    Look up at-will employment. Yes, actually, they can fire you for w/e you want This is the case in Connecticut and the majority of other US states. The NLRB ruled that making it company policy that employees can't talk about the workplace outside of work was illegal, not that you can't be fired for w/e reason, including bashing your employer on Facebook. Just like Wal-Mart fires employees who so much as *mention* unions while at work. At-will employment is the backdoor through which employers sidestep employment laws and, no, it's not illegal.

    Post that under your real user name, then. Until then *you* stfu. Any machine that got bogged down by that animation needs some serious tuneup work done. There's a 1.8ghz Skt754 Sempron here w/2GB ram running Vista that didn't get bogged down by it. So you're either full of shit or haven't bothered cleaning out the cruft in your comp in some time.
