  1. secondary sale? on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    "Game publishers do not see a cut of the secondary sale because it falls under the first sale doctrine."

    #1 sell - I buy the game
    #2 sell - GameStop buy the game
    #3 sell - You buy the game....

    Are we going to give publishers more money to sell a game to a third party? If they just drop the prices quicker then GameStop would lose their sell to the publishers.

    They would have a better shot at getting 50 cent each time their game/s are rented.

  2. Garbage on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    I'm not sacred of space weapons. People are not going to put their doomsday weapons far away from themselves (fear of losing control). Space weapons would likely be just lasers aim at world leaders. Obama is just looking out for himself.

    What we really need is a space littering laws. We don't want companies forgetting about their old nuclear powered satellites siting up in space just waiting to fall on us.

  8. DOS on Court Allows Arkansas To Hide Wikipedia Edits · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should proxy DOS all the state address until they get off their ass.

    Well at least they didn't say, that with only an address wouldn't tell them who it was. They would also need a date and time, which would make people able to hack time and space.

    This is the end of BitTorrent. But, I doesn't have to end. If only someone would make a torrent index in another country, we could keep torrents alive. Maybe we could use this new thing called a search engine to find another torrent index outside of the US, away from co-op states ran by movie stars.
