I'm not sure if it's that they feel hatred towards their employer so much as once you see what goes on behind the scenes, and what the product is really like, it loses its appeal, whether that be because of horrible insecurity, bad sanitation, bad QA, etc.
Mostly this refers to people who translate anime not yet available outside of its home country. They typically include notices in the movie saying that if/when the anime gets released here, buy the set and stop distributing the files.
A lot of anime gets released here because of its popularity in the fansub world.
The monstrous amount of people playing the game is putting a massive load on the servers, so I'm not sure if it's very "strange" that they're having more problems now than in beta.
Sure, it sucks that it's happening, but it really is expected.
Honestly! Now we have to wait a day or so to find out what MelissaMinx492 ate for breakfast today!

G4 Drops TechTV Name
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
G4 buying Tech TV was the worst thing to happen in ages.
Oh, here I was like a moron thinking that the wars, natural disasters, etc. were the worst things to happen in ages, but no, you're right, in the grand scheme of things bad TV is much more significant than those.
Using your name actually may turn out to be a good thing if your network is insecure. Somebody in my apartment complex had a wide-open network with the SSID being their name. I was able to track them down by that in order to tell them they should secure it.
They were wondering why their cable connection was so slow.
Locking the articles is quite a good idea, in my opinion, because a lot of people online (well, and in general) are just morons.
As an example, head on over to EBGames.com and look at some of the "reviews" for upcoming popular games. You'll notice that there can be hundreds of reviews with not ONE person actually knowing how the game is (since it isn't out yet). Fanboy A will come along and say "THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER" while Anti-Fanboy A will come along and say "WASTE OF MONEY BUY (competing product) INSTEAD!", and the bickering will go back and forth and on and on until the actual ratings are completely worthless.
The same thing would happen with the wikipedia articles. If every schmuck can come along and throw in their uninformed two-cents about things they only think they know about, the "information" then becomes useless. The more controversial topics attract more idiots, and the ratio of informed people to uninformed people drops to a level where it's hard to keep things managed well.
I think you missed the real reason Amazon and Newegg are both so great - their customer service. In my experience, both of them will go out of their way to make you happy, whether it be Newegg making returns hassle-free or Amazon giving you a $20 credit because the price of an item has dropped since you bought it two weeks ago.
Yes, they are, hence "identical". What happens with identical twins is that the egg splits after it has been fertilized, leading to two people with the exact same DNA.
1) The people who really need it will never hear about it.
I put a link up to this with the sole description as "If you don't know what this is, you probably need it." I find that ambiguity sparks interest, which will get people who normally wouldn't care to read about it, which will hopefully lead them to say "Hey, I guess I do need this."
This typically works a lot better than saying "You need this", which makes a lot of the clueless users say "oh, yeah, okay, I'll get right on that."
Yes, they really did a quite incredible job with the Athlon 64. Not only does it run 32-bit code, but it runs 32-bit code better than their 32-bit-native processor? That is EXACTLY what's needed in the 32-to-64-bit transition, and they executed it excellently.
On the Amazon affiliate boards, the general consensus is that the late part of that weekend is better than the beginning part. Typically, they say, that following Monday is their best day.
You joke, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a job that doesn't require knowledge. Manufacturing jobs have left this country at a staggering rate.

A better question should be when can we get a nice, good, CLASSIC version of Frogger? These new ones have been horrendous.
I'm not sure if it's that they feel hatred towards their employer so much as once you see what goes on behind the scenes, and what the product is really like, it loses its appeal, whether that be because of horrible insecurity, bad sanitation, bad QA, etc.
... and for company employees to admit it's horrible.

at work we classify A9 as a "severe privacy threat" and therefore it is blocked at the firewall
Do you work at a tinfoil factory?
You've never played a Final Fantasy game, have you? I dare say they're more novel than game.

rerelease classic games."
I wonder if this means we'll get C64 games on those little joystick-that-plugs-into-the-tv things that are so popular nowadays.
So the French government is actually standing up instead of surrendering? This really is news.
Sounds like the perfect MS Marketing campaign to me.

Yes, it's good to make this distinction. I was a little disappointed that the highest-rated comments were people making jokes until I realized that.

are we really going to start progressing towards an almost dark ages type society where we ressurect old tech and reuse it constantly?
Is that such a bad thing assuming the old tech can be made to perform better than the new tech?
