I think the whole DRM issue is overblown. "Good" DRM isn't noticeable in anyway. Sure, pirates don't like it, because it means they have to wait for a cracking group to clear the DRM before they can steal it.
You're saying that game developers need offer you an "honest option," what the fuck does that mean? It really sounds like "don't use DRM so I can easily pirate your goods." And your argument is don't buy PC games because you need to buy two copies and it has DRM.... instead buy console games? WTF?
I've been burned by DRM but the last title I can think of was Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, which of course caused me to stop buying splinter cell games. However, that doesn't mean I stopped buying all PC games. I usually don't get out of an entire market because one vendor fucking sucks ("I just got ripped off on these shocks for my car, fuck it I'm buying a ten speed!")
Almost everywhere we look the ice is melting, spring is arriving earlier, plants and animals are migrating northwards, etc., etc.
......
None of these things are speculation or opinion, they're measurable and observable (unlike the arguments presented by the deniers which are mostly hand waving and anecdotes).
You know what, with this single amazing argument, you've just converted me.
Praise Gore! Global warming is in effect childs, we needs ta fight it with all are myte! Down with the heathen skeptics! To hells with them! I say we have trials by fyre until they confess their sins against the irrefutable scientificalike eveedences!
Praise Gore! Hallowed by thy name!
I was wrong with my previous posts in this thread. You amazing people have shown me the way, how stupid I was!
I wasn't responding to the article but to the poster postulating that being on the global warming fun bus is tantamount to religious zealotry, especially because I see it as the opposite.
However, a SINGLE person did indeed post a LINK (not plural) to back up their *belief* global warming is a serious, man made issue. So I'm checking that out presently.
I'm not denying global warming is possible, I'm saying that you fucking nutjobs spouting off about global warming without any real proof are ridiculous.
Slashdot Mirror
A solution to all of OnLive's problems! Now they'll be able to put an access point in every neighborhood!
Yeah, educational games! No one's tried that before, it's a veritable gold mine smacking us in the face!
I hate Sopssa as much as the next guy but does he even post here anymore?
Maybe he finally wandered back to join his herd at channel9.
Just know that graphics developers everywhere hate you for buying an ATI card.
There are open source alternatives to the marketplace.
Yes, it works JPerfectly, you should try it!
Chances are it won't, it's like Russian roulette.
I mean, how often does Wine work? Mono is the same exact thing.
The output of Autodesk and Adobe's products still work on other platforms. Microsoft's dev tools spit out executables that only work on Windows.
Not that Autodesk and Adobe don't suck for other reasons though...
They must think it's like the 80's with that Huey Lewis and the News song "It's hip to throw chairs"
Bloated software guaranteed to fuck you at some point in the future.
Android SDK is built on GNU, Eclipse and other open source software and is fully open source.
It's also the fastest growing mobile platform and what all the hip groovy cats are into.
Not exactly a walled garden.
You could prepare soup while you supercompute?
All of those machines have a fairly powerful 3d accelerator, even if it's a weaker gpu like an Intel.
Smart developers are making sure their tech can run on low end GPUs anyway.

So you're saying the PC is undead?
Fear things that go bump in the night, consoles!
Yeah because they don't put DRM on the physical media....
Ask the companies who are being audited by the IRS for their existing Cayman tax dodging practices how much fun that is.
This is one thing Obama should be lauded for (and I'm not a huge fan).

It's a religious for you fuckers.
ORLY? Why don't you post some links that prove your hypothesis, you fucktard.
ONE global warming doomsdayer posted a SINGLE link in this entire thread to support his theory.
No, I meant global warming nuts, i.e. most of the other responses on this thread.
Yours at least posted a link to interesting information to corroborate your opinion, instead of merely condemning me as a pagan unbeliever.
I'll read the report, it looks interesting enough.
I'm not the one making claims about doomsday and how we're all going to die if we don't "see the truth."
Again, since you apparently missed it, the burden of proof is ON YOU ASSHOLES to prove your claims of impending doom.
Oh anointed one, please bless us with your divine knowledge about global warming so that we might be better judged when the end of days cometh!
In all seriousness, can you at least post some reputable links refuting my statements. I want to learn more about Jesus, err, I mean global warming.
