If buying used is "theft" then I'l stop buying used and start torrenting again and sharing with others. Fuck game developers if they dare to even equate used purchase with theft.
If this drives used copies of SOCOM4 down to $0.99 then I'm ok with it. IF not, then I will not be buying anything in the SOCOM franchise anymore.
It's getting bad everywhere in gaming. Halo:Reach was a incredibly short game that can be finished on Normal setting in a single weekend, it sold for full retail prices. Dragon Age II is 1/2 a game and requires you to buy all the DLC separately to get the whole game making it a $120.00 game.
Honestly, I'm done buying any video game new. IT will be used and after the ass-baggery that the game maker pulled has been revealed so I can avoid it.
Hear that gaming industry? You will not get any money directly from me anymore, I'll buy used and steal money from your babies mouths!
MY answer is to allow farmers to sue Monsanto for polluting any of their non Monsanto crops. If a farmer plants non GMO corn and the neighbors corn pollutes it, then Monsanto must pay the farmer 3X his harvest yield that year. It's a lot more fair than what Monsanto does to farmers that dont plant their products.
She does not believe that speed limit signs are anything but a recommendation, and she does not see stoplights and stop signs a LOT. Most of the family will not ride with her.
Here is the scary part. In the past 8 years she has rolled 9 cars and totaled 14, yes the 8 of the rolled cars are in the totaled group. and she STILL HAS HER LICENSE! I have told her that she is a danger to society, her response is "that is what airbags in cars is for"....
"He's a doctor, a faculty member (professor), and a division head (administration/management). I promise you he's not a moron."
I have met professors with multiple PHD's that are in fact morons. I have a Sister in Law with 3 Masters degrees that cant keep a car on it's tires, she has flipped 6 cars in 4 years.
Education does not eliminate you from the moron pool.
These doctors go crazy getting their pet project going and then sucker some sod into helping them.. and when it goes sideways, they leave that sod to get ran over by the bus.
Fact: if you work in medical and a doctor asks you to do a special project, your answer is "great Idea I'll call IT and ask them." Never EVER do it for him. Doctors have no problem screwing people professionally. The ones with a frigging God complex are even worse.
Right now most countries refuse American Corn and wheat unless it has been ground up int a meal or flour. Why? because Monsanto has polluted our food stream with it's copyrighted and trademarked products so completely that other countries do not want to allow the lawsuit ridden crops to ever be planted in their countries. Monsanto has sued most USA farmers out of existence that dared to plant a non Monsanto crop by claiming IP infringement when a neighbor crop cross pollinates theirs. and IF you dare to own a seed cleaner and keep part of your crop as seed, they will go after you and bankrupt you. Most other countries, including the ones that have a lot of starving people do not want this problem there. Monsanto owns the USA, they do not want them to own them as well so they refuse crops and seed from the USA.
Want to feed the world? fight for the invalidation of all patents on food crops.
and that was with 3 seconds of Google searching... another thing you seem to be incapable of understating, there are a lot of websites out there that can help you learn how to use a search engine and google.
Also look up what UDP broadcast is, you seem to be significantly deficient in your education as a whole. Networking is hard, you should leave it to those of us that know what we are doing and actually have an education in it.

Finally what idiot would buy it, if you can afford a $6300 crapper, then you would already have whole house audio with an audio zone in the bathroom that has far better speakers than this toilet can.
heated footrest.. wtf? again you would already have a heated floor.
This thing is a non starter, anyone that can afford it already has better than what it can deliver already in their current bathroom.
No it's not. Most do not have any IDS let alone any decent networking. Most SCADA systems are lowest bidder and competent IT and networking staff are not in the equation at those price levels.
MOST SCADA systems are horribly protected. idiot managers and phb's want remote access to systems that should be on protected and isolated networks. Please sack the managers that demand remote internet access to SCADA systems that do not have a legitimate reason other than to satisfy the demand of that manager.
I know of several Water filtration plants that are horribly open to attack because the supervisor of them is too damn lazy to drive in to do his work. And YES you can easily make a secure connection between the SCADA system and a unprotected network for extraction of data, A one way 100bt or 1000bt connection is trivial to do by anyone that is competent in networking, removal of the RX wires makes it impossible for any hacker on this planet to get into the system. And yes you CAN broadcast data and receive it on the server to give a live view for the managers as well as for data logging to their favorite MS Access script.
Instead we get the entire scada system on the municipality's network with full internet access and have employees checking email and surfing the web on the freaking SCADA interface PC's.
You cant afford $250 a window every 3 months? You cant learn how to install that yourself? You cant blow in insulation yourself? Most home improvement box stores will sell you the insulation for cheap and rent you the machine.. Shot of the furnace and AC, every other thing you can do yourself and do it a LOT cheaper. I paid to have it done except the windows.
Cost of your home is more than the mortgage payment. you figured for monthly maintenance costs when you bought it right?
Greatest effect was the furnace. When we bought the home 3 years ago the furnace looked new, (the previous home owner though that cleaning things is the same as maintaining things, it looks great and was even waxed with car wax yearly!) so I investigated and discovered that that model was last made in 1989 and that serial number was made in 1986 and it was a 62% efficient furnace, 25 years later the furnace guy determined that it was running at about 55% (they do a thermal comparison of exhaust temp and air heating temp.) replacing that alone dropped a Significant amount. From $380 a month to $180 a month.
Air leaks and insulation fixed comfort problems in rooms. the main living area had enough air leaks that on a winter windy day it was 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house. The last 3 together took off another $100 a month. and honestly all of this should have been done anyways as normal house maintenance. A house with the original 1950's windows still in place is the same as buying a car with bald tires that are showing the belts.
A 100mph really easy to make light train between close cities or even neighborhoods to the cities would be a great thing. for some reason here in the USA we are too stupid to build decent public transportation. Instead we clog 8 lane highways with Hummer H2's and Chevy Silverados with one person in them.
And people wonder why the rest of the world looks at us with disdain.

Bonus! that give the smoke effects as well as a LOT of personal satisfaction.
And you can easily add lasers!
A drill press works faster and is a lot cheaper. granted it does not have bright green lights and a lot of over-engineering, but hey.
Can they make it do some laser effects and add a smoke machine so it looks really cool?

Then why cant they use Google Calender and call it done?

Exactly, kludge up a shared google calendar.. they would be operational already. Screw this server you need to maintain crap.

I suggest you learn networking as well as Ethernet, oh and take your lithium your Bipolar is showing.
Here is some reading material that might be too advanced for you, but I like to share...
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/passive_ethernet_tap.jsp -- how to receive only network traffic.
http://www.public.asu.edu/~sksrini2/Projects/TFTP/AP36.pdf -- basics on how to broadcast data on transmit only, might be too advanced for you.
http://www.stearns.org/doc/one-way-ethernet-cable.html -- more info for your basic education.
and that was with 3 seconds of Google searching... another thing you seem to be incapable of understating, there are a lot of websites out there that can help you learn how to use a search engine and google.

Thats just the bidet effect. Honestly once you have used one you will look at the toilet paper world as completely barbaric.
And is overall stupid.

You obviously don't understand how ethernet works at all.
Please come back when you have a basic education about the topic at hand.
No it's not. Most do not have any IDS let alone any decent networking. Most SCADA systems are lowest bidder and competent IT and networking staff are not in the equation at those price levels.
They checked the windows 98 gateway machine and their virus scanner did not find anything. There is no way he got in, the AV software said so!
Allen Bradley is out there quite heavy. in fact I saw far more of it than siemens stuff.
Among the script kiddies? yes, yes it is.
In other words real computer tasks... Not the gaming and secretary work that most windows users have a pc for.
MOST SCADA systems are horribly protected. idiot managers and phb's want remote access to systems that should be on protected and isolated networks. Please sack the managers that demand remote internet access to SCADA systems that do not have a legitimate reason other than to satisfy the demand of that manager.

And lowering taxes on the top 1% will save the economy!
