I don't think FFVII was that good and the series got much worse since then. I think the reason FFVII doesn't get remade nearly as much (if ever) as the FF games is because it doesn't age well at all. It's very much a game of its time. It's far too cinematic. That was cool when it was new but it's a bad thing now.
I'm not sure it's that. People can be just as stupid on their facebook page which identifies every aspect of their life. I think a lot of people still don't realise the internet is open to everyone. They're sitting in their room, they feel they're in a private area and, at most, they view it as just sitting arond and talking with friends.
It's the only sane answer I can come up with why people are willing to share so much and say such stupid things under their own name on a platform that never forgets. Because surely having the internet never forget you said something awful is worse than a quick punch to the face?
Because he did get all of season 5. The latest season is just as much season 6 as it is season 5B. It's called the final season and it's sold as a separate product everywhere. Even Amazon instant video (where it doesn't matter) puts them in their own group.
I wouldn't if I were them. It's a new season with an awkward name of "the final season" which was probably to avoid admitting to fans they ran out of ideas in season 5.
You might want to to calculate out how much your average box set costs. The £18 they charge for breaking bad is significantly cheaper than most blu-ray box sets even if you factor in the lack of episodes.
That's because it's a separate product. You can blame the Vince for skirting the issue to avoid admitting he ran out of steam and couldn't give you a complete season 5. I do believe the internet turns the average person into a mouth breathing douche so I'm not surprised this is becoming more common.
There is nothing worse than the sort of nerd that hates any change. How can you consider yourself intelligent and technical when the slightest change in a website turns you into a big crying pussy?
Also, this doesn't seem to be *that* big of a deal. The only website that comes reomtely close to being credible that's reporting on this is The Register and sorry, the Register operates who I would imagine Fox News would be run if converted to target only sexually frustated gossiping old women.
I'm sure it does mess people up because its an awful thing. But again a lot of crimes hang with people. I know people that have had their home burgled and then they get funny about leaving home. But I wouldn't say that makes burglary off-limits and yes rape is far worse than burglary but it's not the worst thing.
Personally I think it just comes down to if you're more likely to a victim. So like jokes involving WWII victims are more acceptable than 9/11 victim jokes. Which says to me people are simply selfish and only care about things that touch their lives and that's not a good enough basis for limiting speech.
Honest question here, why is being raped so much worse than being tortured, brutally beaten or murdered? We make fun of a lot of horrible things including the holocaust yet some people think rape is the ultimate and shouldn't be touched. I'd never wish rape on someone but it's not the murder and torture of millions in prison camps. You either give it all up or jokes about awful events are acceptable no matter which bad thing is used in the joke.
They only have a shorter life because that's what the companies want. if you buy a cheap bargain phone you get a cheap bargain experience and they'll expect you to come around for another sooner. I still see old 3GS or older iphones. Even blackberry people hold onto their phones but that's two companies that didn't set up their business model on "sell 'em cheap, sell 'em frequently".
Android is for people who don't care and just need something cheap. It'll be easily replaced overnight. That's why Android has low customer loyalty. Apple doesn't actually Apple isn't shrinking. They're just not growing as fast. That hasn't stopped them from out performing thesmelves compared to the previous quater despite the iphone 5 not really being anything terribly special.
Everything about Android is so broken people are just waiting for another cheap alternative to come along. Google should count themselves lucky that Microsoft is incompetent.
There are still distribution costs for the ebook. Do you think every time you get to re-download an ebook that's free or, in the case of amazon, whisper.net runs itself for free?
I can get a 8" x 11" 494 page hardback printed for £7.95 each at 500 copies. So even as someone without large order, my own facilities, etc could only wipe £7.95 off the cost of, for example, a £50 book. A standard paperback is more around £2.00 so for a £10.00 it's still not the bulk of the cost. It's not like an author just types up a book in Word and exports it as a PDF. There are people that have to read for spell checking and other thing things, at least one person to layout the book, someone to design the cover, and then all the little support roles within the publisher and maybe even for the author too.
Most authors don't see much money on a first edition because all those costs eat into the profits. In fact the cost to print the book would stay the same so the mere fact an author sees profit and would hope for a second edition would mean the cost of printing off the physical book isn't the big cost and I wouldn't expect to see more than 50% taken off the price for a new release.
Maybe for an old release but then again old books as e-books aren't exactly expensive either. I just looked on iTunes which is supposedly overpriced from allowing publishers to keep prices high and standard paperback titles that have been around for ages are anywhere from £0.99 to £5 which given the price of a sandwich or pint can easily be £3.00 hardly makes them overpriced.

On the internet everything has to be a love / hate thing and you have voice your opinion no matter how little people care.
The N64 was an excellent system if only for the experience of Mario 64 and Goldeneye. But fortunately it had many more great games.
And android fanboy getting all aggressive and shitty about iphone online? That's unique.
Debian doesn't. That's how.

Apple is doing it because it is a new season and every single shop is marketing it as such. AMC wants to milk it for what they can.
Because he did get all of season 5. The latest season is just as much season 6 as it is season 5B. It's called the final season and it's sold as a separate product everywhere. Even Amazon instant video (where it doesn't matter) puts them in their own group.

Everyone treats it as a separate product and it's not called Season 5 or 5B. Given that it's coming out in two months
Whether you buy in the physical format or digital, it's seperate on Amazon too.

They don't have to and probably shouldn't have given it wasn't licenced as FRAND.

This is a non-event.
I missed the moronic ramblings of a butt hurt fanboy getting angry. Thanks for stepping up and filling the gap.

This is your concern when it appears there's not a hope in hell anyone will be punished for the crimes he uncovered which are far worse?
That might mean paying some money so that's not going to happen.

Buy a new phone. That's what they want and that's what they'll expect and that's your trade-off for buying something cheaper than an iPhone.
If you assume they'll do the same then surely that means you'll be as bad as the previous employer and deserve. You could always try to be better.
What you're saying is its their only option but you want to believe they're loyal? It's hard not to be loyal to the one and only choice.
That's it, it's not Apple vs Android. It's Apple vs Samsung. Arguably it's Samsung against Android too.
