The Zune looked like a copy of the iPod. The Zune HD looked like a copy of the iPod Touch.
What, in that both product lines play media? Maybe you just never used any Zune stuff but they don't behave anything like iPods or iPod Touches. Don't get so excited that you do nothing but post factless anti-Microsoft rants into this topic.
I am not a lawyer either, but I think I'm going to sue you for putting that retarded shit out on the Internet where I could a) see it and b) derive a pounding headache.
Yeah, posting that AC isn't a red flag that you're a Comcast employee or anything. How does it feel to know your employers is the most hated company in America?
Civil law is totally subjective as it is a pure human invention. Computer science and science in general are descriptions of natural phenomena and as such have objective rules that do not change based on the observer.
So far as your "god just called" quip, what came up on your caller id?
Sharing is where people always get angry, since it means that people may be able to obtain the software at no cost -- but the benefits outweigh the potential losses here.
Let's be clear here. That statement is true for you. It does not have to be true for anybody else. Attempting to require it to be true is a removal of freedom.
It's stupid because Slashdot is populated with basement geniuses who know everything. This is why everything invented is obvious and simple to implement, yet useless.
It's a dick move, but realistically they have no obligation to provide you with free unlimited support just because you want it. You still have the choice to stop using their network and not play new games, and then you can do whatever else you want with the console. Expecting that Sony owes you whatever you want on your terms because you bought the hardware is ridiculous. They owe you nothing, the transaction is complete. If you do want continuing support, they have terms. You are free to reject those terms, but then you don't get support.
It's pretty simple, really. This isn't me apologizing for Sony, this is me explaining reality to a bunch of people who have their fingers stuck in their ears screaming "I WANT I WANT I WANT" over and over and somehow believing that constitutes a realistic position.
I am totally aware. Was there a promise of free unconditional lifetime support somewhere that I missed?
This is have-cake-and-eat-it-too situation. You want to do whatever you want with your PS3, that's cool. Sony is in no way obligated to support you in that endeavor. Taking the position that Sony is required to support you doing whatever you want is interesting, if not particularly realistic.
They would first have to push an update which allowed this functionality, so yeah... I'm still right. If you accepted that update without realizing it, that's hardly my fault and still does not contravene my logic.
Were you intending to rebut me? You supported my position with your logic.
They never promised unconditional lifetime free support. You very clearly realized that. There is nothing "forced" about not providing that. If you somehow inferred you were promised that, you were wrong, plain and simple.
Don't mistake being modded up for being right. Slashdot is the place where people think entertainment wants to be free. People with that mindset aren't thinking very clearly in the first place. Having their support isn't worth very much.
According to most religions, unquestioning adherence to arbitrary rules handed down by unassailable masters is also a good thing. You might want to look for new lines of argument.
After a series of moderation experiments under different usernames, I've come to the conclusion that the fastest way to lose mod privileges is to downmod someone who works for Slashdot. Maybe you did that?
I don't consider it to be force because I know the definition of force, and I'm not given to hyperbole. I am also cognizant of situations where I want something I can't have, but you see, I'm an adult which may help me there.
Slashdot Mirror
Obviously you are an amazing businessman with a keen grasp of the market. To think, you've been hiding out here on Slashdot this whole time.
How could it be hypocrisy when you didn't even make any sense?

Oh, I'm too late to stop that. Never mind.
Wow, you really need a hug. I mean I've known some bitter nerds but damn, son.

There wasn't even an argument in the post you replied to, just a question. Maybe you oughta settle down there, sparky.

how could it be wrong when it feels so tight?

It's Xfinity brand assraping, but it's still Comcast's cock doing the work.
I love that someone modded you troll for being honest and realistic.
Growing up would involve realizing that words are just words and not as powerful as those who wish to control thought have convinced people they are.

Do you always argue by telling your opponent their position? Seems like an awesome way to win.
Here's my position: I'm all for cooperation, until you coerce me.
And I'm not going to bother listing religions, I'll assume you aren't ignorant enough to actually need that.

I hear that IP is theft, so Slashdot should hate ARM, right?
Yeah, obviously I didn't even read the summary.
Plus pretty much every game now gives tutorials on control mechanics as you need them, which is a much more effective way to learn to play the game.
