  3. Re:Conclusion is misleading on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    Meh, I already see more inaccuracy in what I just said.
    Here's one more try:

    The potential for increasing profits is higher by eliminating used game sales as opposed to eliminating piracy according to a Fable III Dev.

    You are right.
    Maybe we could rephrase it that way then?

    The amount of used game sales has become larger than the amount of pirated copies.

  5. Conclusion is misleading on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    The conclusion seems misleading.

    Misleading conclusion:
    Buying a used game doesn't hurt more than pirating the game.

    More accurate conclusion:
    Companies lose more money to used game sales than to piracy.

    Why not? It is customer feedback after all. It is basically saying: I like your company, but I dislike that other company. Please do not do business with them. :(

  8. Re:FUD? on Apple: You Must Be 17+ To Use Opera · · Score: 1

    You presume that the parents are those buying the product. But I believe any 15 years old with the bucks to spare can go into a shop and get out with an iOS enabled device and expose himself with safari without his parents having a chance to monitor anything at all.

    So because the iOS device itself isn't considered 17+ the parental controls available in the OS aren't an excuse for Safari avoiding this "warning".

    Why then don't I need to be 17 to get myself an iPod and use Safari which presents the same exact risks?

    Totally agree. At first I didn't like Stargate SG-1's cancellation. The problem wasn't with the cast but with the amount of "filler episodes". Then Dr McKay made StarGate Atlantis actually be a nice series and it got cancelled too... I mean c'mon. I like stargate's universe. Why cancel all of them?

    If I am allowed to sell structures I built out of legos, why wouldn't I be allowed to re-sell phones I have modified? This is absurd. If the profit I try to make on the original phone is too high, then I won't sell any. Besides, for each phone I sell, apple still gets their sale too.

  21. Re:Aren't the pipes already being paid for? on UK Minister Backs 'Two-Speed' Internet · · Score: 1

    I disagree with your statement. As I've answered to "arose" just before you, your payment to your ISP covers your ISP's part of the network and indirectly the backbone that your ISP uses. But it doesn't cover the whole network (meaning every other part of the network owned by other ISPs). So we pay more than one time per byte, but less than two actually.

  22. Re:Aren't the pipes already being paid for? on UK Minister Backs 'Two-Speed' Internet · · Score: 1

    Not exactly. As of now my ISP only bills me and I'd be surprised google shares the same ISP. This proposal would allow every ISP to try (cause providers could choose to be low priority and not pay) to charge twice for every byte going through.

    As of now, I'm paying my ISP for their network (my ISP pays a backbone for their network) while the service provider pays another ISP for that other part of the network (and that ISP pays a backbone for their network). So the only double payment occurs if I share the same ISP as the content provider or if both ISPs share the same backbone. In every other case, part of my payment goes for a section of the network which has received payment only once. And the section of the network from which the data was served never sees any part of my payment.
