My personal favourite is when they leave the "Press X Button" hints in on the PC ports... it gives me real confidence that they've spent the extra time to ensure a seamless PC experience.
Can you please explain why the **IA should be enforcing penalties at all? Why a profit driven organisation should have ANY place in determining penalties? Or does your logic fall down on why a for profit organisation should determine legal policy?
This is the biggest problem with the tactic that the *IAAs are taking IMHO. They're effectively suing the company that makes a highway, for the traffic that travels on the highway. Screw you *IAAs, if you can't find your real target... don't try to drop the responsibilty on everyone else.
Nice... check out the history of US railways that failed without huge US government investment... maybe look at the Australian NBN... broadband that has lacked investment for 10 years or more because Telstra fails infrstructure without government support. Maybe you should post under a profile instead of being some random who won't attach his name to an argument. HUR HUR HUR LOL. Make a real argument AC. The US model is not the be all, and end all. I don't want to be your friend asshole, I don't want to influence you... maybe you have an unnatural obsession with being someone's friend and manipulating them instead of actually being logical?
Please see my parent comment... I did NOT say that 1 comment makes all comments by that individual incorrect.. only that an incorrect comment means that not all comments are RIGHT.
Infrastructure... large capital investments with long tails aren't liked by shareholders... maybe the answer is that I didn't want to get into a stupid argument made by people who don't wish to ackowledge fact over their own personal version of reality.
I never said that F Foch was always correct, I was merely trying to illustrate that military minds don't always recognise the correct answer. New forms of warfare confuse and irritate the 'old school'.
Or the Human factor... oh wait, someone already said that. Did you ever consider that most succesful hacking is social engineering? Separabilty is useless when the weak point is the operator.
Hur, hur, hur... govinmints can't do anyfing right. Try to remove your obvious politics from this debate and argue facts. There are arenas where goverment do better than private industry, where 'loss leading' actually ends up with a net benefit for the populace... arenas where private industry will refuse to lead because they will take a short term loss
Aviation is fine as a sport. But as an instrument of war, it is worthless.

The overall military attitude is that if it isn't in the 'book', it is worthless. New paradigms confuse the establishment, that's as old as the 'book'. (It's a metaphor, please don't attack this argument as if it refers to a literal 'book').
If you don't shop around for the best deal without being snobby about where it comes from, I feel sorry for you. Yes I know that in this case it had a negative attahced, but Conficker isn't exactly the worst threat in the world... not to mention that reputable hardware manufacturers have been hit by similar problems.
Slashdot Mirror
Does anyone know of a preview report that goes into any depth on the multiplayability of Rage?
I'm sure there'll be one as soon as a version with multiplayer is released to reviewers... you're jumping the gun a bit on that one.

It'd be a better troll if he bothered to put his account to it, instead of an AC post. AC posts fail...

Yeah. That's how *EVERY WESTERN COUNTRY* works these days.

Yes you can, and just like the IRL police... it doesn't mean that anything will happen.
"FAWNING" Agreed...

What's it? What is it?
Oh... BTW, I was agreeing with you and arguing with the GP(Annirak).

Did I just agree with a 6 digit UID Satanist???? Gah, never mind. :D
Up against the wall, commie!
Only if said wall has been made by the hands of the proleteriat!
Sigh... I hate to say this, but parent has some insight and probably should be modded up.

Thanks for supporting my point. :) Like I said... 'a particular subset'.

Maybe because Australian scientists have a good track record of innovation.
Economy of Scale wins in the end...
