Too bad the vinyl itself is sonically slightly inferior format to high-enough resolution (CD and above) digital audio. Not to mention being limited to 18-22 minutes per side is a ridiculous and arbitrary constrainment on the artist's creativity and vision. The digital age gives audio its true potential.
Do not mistake the stupidity of the loudness war or the lack of distortion produced by tubes to mean that digital is somehow less.
I guess a true purist would insist on listening to the original DAT masters or whatever instead of second or third generation vinyl copies.
This is indeed because of the loudness war. It is not a defect or limitation of the CD or digital medium but rather due to a record label's marketing department's decision to alter (read: fuck up) the mastering process. Google 'death magnetic compression'.
I don't get it. If congress can't set a federal drinking age how can they outlaw drugs? If the feds needed a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol how come one wasn't needed for the war on drugs?
And as for it being long ago, so was WW2. Perhaps we should just let old nazi murderers have a nice peaceful retirement too?
What we shouldn't be doing is kidnapping them abroad and draging them to israel for a kangaroo court or assassinating them around the globe. The couple countries in europe are the only places their trial should take place.
It's "couldn't care less", not "could care less". See, if you could care less then you're not caring as little as possible. If you couldn't care less then you're caring the minimum amount.
Is it so hard to say 'fucked up'? Why do you put so much effort into going around it? Almost as bad as f*uck or sh*t other retarded censorship. You mean to say fuck and people will interpret it as fuck but instead you write 'look at me I'm an ass'.
Players with high ping don't affect others or increase the low pinger's ping. What's in play is counter-strike's retarded netcode that basically allows for bullshit behind the wall shots even if you already went behind it.
a) quakelive is not cpma
b) ioquake3 is a piece of crap lame excuse for a client. You should instead use the CNQ3 (challenge quake3) client developed by the cpma developers. It's miles ahead of anything ioq3.
It also has to do with the fact that in Japan it's somewhat rude and inconsiderate to talk to phone in public transport or so I've understood. Wish people here understood that aswell and didn't have their ringtones set to max and yell in the bus. I've had my phone on vibrate/silent for as long as I've owned it.
I just can't understand how there probably isn't a single keyboard out there that doesn't malfunction when you press and arbitrary combination of >3 keys. All these 100 dollar gaming grade keyboards are all fine and dandy but they still do not perform the one task they OUGHT to as gaming keyboards: allow the user to press many keys at once and have them all register. Mine has a few 5-6 key combinations that all register but then there are some combinations of 3 or 4 that don't. It can't cost that much to get this.
You've confused socialism and communism with authoritarianism again. Communism is a primarily economic model; authoritarianism is a political model. It's okay, though, lots of people get confused on this point, do it isn't just you.
No I don't think I'm confusing anything, although I apologize for being vague. Socialism and communism require an authoritarian government. Oops, tautology.
The death of pc gaming won't be due to piracy but the ever increasing dumbing down of titles and the half-assed job of porting shitty console titles to PC because the publishers want to cater to the retard masses who buy their games instead of the smart adults who want to play games such as Deus Ex and System Shock 2.
Yes you do since the installer still has it so securom will get into your system. If you're worried about the securom infiltration then don't install the game in the first place. If you disagree with DRM as a whole then don't play/buy the game. You can't avoid securom if you want GTA 4.
Are you sure that applying the crack AFTER installing the game with its securom hooks and other shit will do any good? Cracks only let you play the game without the disc in the drive. They don't disable the malware that is securom in the isntallation procedure. Thus all that shit will be left in your system regardless, as far as I know, that is.
My point being: If you're against drm intruding your PC then don't play the game at all.

You're wrong. We have both PRIOR RESTRAINT, approval rating process for media, AND after the fact banning (uk, germany, ...).

-1, maphacker ps. is it true no one plays without it in battle.net?
Did you deliberately omit adom?
...common sense? But it's Austfailia! This can't be true! Somehow they'll find a way to overturn this I know it.

Wtf? The game content already is HELLA in the first & second encounter games.
Are you retarded or just blind? This is not an id software game. It is developed by RAVEN SOFTWARE. id licenses their engines to various developers.

Isn't socialism/communism by definition evil because it's based on violence and coercion? How can this be good in any way?
How can you disagree with torture if you can accept war and the inevitable human (civilian and military) losses that occur? Here's a good article about torture: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sam-harris/in-defense-of-torture_b_8993.html
