Personally I upgraded from an older Sinclair machine, the ZX81. Going from 1kb of memory to a C64 was the nearest thing that I could describe as geek bliss.
don't have the huge burden of marketing costs associated with major developers, you don't have to pay a huge team, you don't have to box and ship your product.
In short, there is no price erosion when your profit margin is actually higher per unit than the big publishers, even at 10% of the ticket price.
Why do you trust Google more than the government? The government might leak the data and cause bad things, Google's whole aim to begin with is probably bad things.
What... you don't believe Google when they say "Do No Evil"?
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact companies tie achievements to their shitty multiplayer modes no one plays either, because it basically means if you are a completionist and like collecting achievements and don't get them on release week then they'll be permanently unobtainable a few weeks later.
If you're a completionist and the online version of the game is that shitty, do you really *want* to be tortured by those extra hours of gameplay anyway?
I know that unless I had a particularly game oriented version of OCD, that wouldn't be a problem for me.
Actually, it seems that certain elements of the media are against him. Strangely, these seem to be the right wing, pro-strong government sections of the media. Especially those owned by Murdoch.
Actually, we're all reading Slashdot while waiting in the 2 HOUR QUEUES to get onto a server... sorry, I'm just a little annoyed that "the best expac ever" has dropped, and I'm still stuck waiting to play it.
If my friends can remember the name of my first pet, then I'll be suitably impressed by how good a friend they are. If they can remember a friend's pet's name after 20 odd years, they're not a friend but a lifetime stalker.
Have a look at this game, the guy has ripped off Pacman... there is no doubt. I'm sorry, but he's pleading innocent when he's trying to profit off an established product. Not only that, he's tried to ride their coat-tails by including "pac" in the title. I'm all for fighting bad DMCA notices but this one has been targeted appropriately and andriodstevep should be ashamed of himself for trying to so blatantly rip off an existing product.
The R18+ rating requires unanimous support from the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General, and the Western Australian government is applying pressure against the move. Here's a story on Perthnow giving the names of some of the MPs to contact and tell them that they need to support this measure.

You obviously live in a country with "Freedom of Assembly", believe it or not, there aren't that many.
So if I google RPG and "destroied fence", I'll get some meaningful results?
That was probably the intention of these so-called "researchers" (right, not CIA shills at all...) when they suggested such an alternative.
Soooo.... got any tinfoil hats for sale?
and he'll be in jail soon.

When it's life and limb, only the guy with a uniform, badge, and gun is in charge.
And that is why I love "Walking Dead". :)
What price safety? Obviously only a few billion.
Oh wait, they mean feed the Red Panda, not feed me. Pity, they look delicious.
Great, so you're advocating responding to asshole measures by being an asshole?
What about file shearing old games...
Old games depilate you????
this report brings back my joy in the saying, "Information wants to be free".

I should post this as an AC, but if I read that right... If I'm in Sweden and scream out "Surprise!" before rape it seems I'll get off pretty lightly.
You forgot torture and extraordinary rendition.
The story I read was that they decided AFTER the act to withdraw consent, not during.

No need to post anything new, just read Slashdot.
You do realise that cash is still a valid and perfectly acceptable form of currency... right... RIGHT?
