No-no-no! The majority of MW2 players are 13-15-year-olds (if I'm off here it's not by a mile), who simply don't understand the meaning of the word "boycott". They joind in thinking it would be a great idea for dedicated servers to be available, but when you actually explain what the word means they go "huh? i never agreed to that! I wanna play!".
6 years of playing InstaGib modes have not passed unnoticed... I have stopped playing shooters online after people started kicking me for cheating. The only game i'm still able to play normally is Nexuiz - people there seem more skilled than any other mainstream game and don't bitch when being 1-shotted 3-4 times in a row from a distance of half the map (zoom is there, but i rarely use it).
... if she now gets sued for "stealing" from "Private Doctor Association of America" (I'm sure there is one) by diagnosing her own self and not by paying a doctor to do it? Even though she did visit a pathologist.
Most certainly is! Ah, the blisters in my thumbs blaying the hand-held day and night, the "come on, you lazy piece of crap, fall faster" shouts while you're still on low levels (and no, hitting down button still wasn't fast enough)... Those were the days...
There's always the Guest account.
Or you can just say no in a polite but firm way.
Some people on Slashdot will put it in a simpler way saying: Tell them to fuck off! The fack is, for some of us/them/whatever asking to use one's laptop is like asking to use one's girlfriend - it's unpleasant to say the least. And if someone fuckes her up... That's why the only real to keep it private is not alowing anyone near it. Unpleasant? Maybe. Safer by not letting some random person poke his dirty firgers at it? Most definitely.
You've been given plenty of options. The choice is really up to you.
Actually I do (though it has become a long distance relationship lately), and she hates the series. Tried playing Sims 2 once... Took her an hour to get fed up with it. So yeah, I still fail to understand how a person, in his/her right mind can like this game. Sure, mod me a troll, really couldn't care less. The fact stands, this is one of the most pointless and advertised games out there (that and WoW - no flamebait intended, just my PERSONAL opinoin). And people buy/pirate (or rather aks to) it simply because the know not any better. That's why the outrage... stop, think for a while, use your heads for once, insted of blindly following the ads.
Sims? As someone with NO download limit I would still feel it a huge waste to download this (master)piece of crap. I mean come on! Wake up people! You're being turned into minless zombie sheep! Wouldn't play it even if they paid me for it...
Well, at least some of them are starting to realize that no-one is going to buy anything that stops working if you ugrade (reinstall) your OS. Now all that's left is to make sure Cthulhu is well fed in the mean while.
They were asking for it to be honest... No unique client key to confirm with the game server, just a huge free-for-all. If you are not going to secure multiplayer for legit players only in a game like this, well... I wouldn't need a second guess to tell you what's going to happen.
Even though I don't use Vista, I'm pretty damn sure that Genuine Tool thing can be pretty much removed/disabled without hurting the OS. I think MS should provide us with such entertainment every day:D
MS has found yet another absolutelly useless way of amusing itself. I mean who, besides MS's braindead marketing & innovation departments, need that crap? I don't, I like my web with a standard easily-readable font. MS should do us all a favour and limit their ideas to themselves.
Congratulations, MS, 10 more years and you'll be at current levels of technology. But then again, in 10 years it will still be obsolete and irrelevant. Why dodn't they just give up and start doing something useful? Like getting familiar with recognized W3C standards...

Out of 100 depressed fat 35-year-old gamers polled 99 turned out to be depressed fat 35-year-old gamers. 1 turned 36 while being polled.

What about the guy flipping the "on" switch on the money printing machine? Where does he fit in all of this?

Now all they have to do is put 3 seashells in the toilets, set automated swearing fines up and set Wesley Snipes loose...

I could imagine being trapped in a vault for days killing mole rats if Fallout took the WoW method of pacing.
/me haz nightmares now
Christ.
When did you come back?
Good luck getting your system through POST with that PSU ))

Just another instance of 2 giants fighting for the market using any means available... Nothing new, nothing special
