It is just ironic that Microsoft is very lousy software company but world biggest.
No, it isn't. They made the right marketing decisions at the right time...most kids now are getting hammered into there brain that Windows is the same as a PC and that the Edit-Toolbar of Word is everything you'll ever need in an office job. Also, try to buy a PC without pre-installed Windows out there. The situation has improved a lot lately, but it's still pathetic.
Nope, but firing the devs which spend a significant part of their live creating and designing the game is a little bit...how shall I say...dumb, especially if you want to make a sequel.
I'm not sure what people always have with Steam...I can circumvent Steam and play all games without logging into Steam first, so *real* offline playing here I come. But it's possible that the games itself have further DRM systems which won't allow you that...but that's not the problem of Steam/Valve, that's a problem with the companies which are doing it.
The Mozilla Foundation can survive without Google, they made this clear in a statement a half year back or so.
Also, we're talking about two FLOSS browsers, the moment something gets fishy the community will jump in.
...children come home to there parents, are telling proud that the school now has WiFi and the parents are going all "OH MY GOD YOU'RE GONNA DIE AND HAVE DECEASES OF IT"? I mean, I've seen a lot of people who're very good at making a mountain out of a molehill.
But I suggest the reverse test, turn it off and don't tell anyone...see if that cures it. Or the other way round, stop broadcasting the SSID, lock everyone out and tell everyone that it is down (without shutting it down, of course). I'm sure the results will be very interesting.
I wonder if you're really an unregistered user or just a coward...anyway, they do have a life, as you can see. And I bet it is way more successful then yours.
He went 90mph in a residential street? And then he's saying that he's a careful and experienced driver with 19? I do not own a drivers license (because I didn't needed one or cared about it) so I'm not going to pretend that I know what I'm talking about, but...can we get a ban for some years on such people?
Well, as far as I can read the Article...it is completely optional atm (and I think it always will be). And it also might be helpful to get some real usage data.
The last time Microsoft was trying to be helpful, I ended up with two Firefox-Plugins which I'm unable to remove...
I'm not sure if it would work that way. As far as I know, Binaural beats are effecting the whole brain, while those spindles are very localized. So I think that binaural beats could help if they're going really low and also altering the whole brain activity that way, maybe removing those spikes would yield such an effect.
Speeding is one thing and arguably dangerous - or not -, yet no will to kill or endanger anyone.
At 127mph you endanger everyone on that road! And if you say "but I don't endanger anyone, if I have an accident it's just me!" your driver license should be revoked immediately!
I thought the alien mothership together with the big alien base would be on the far side of the moon...
None the less...it works in CSI, why shouldn't it work in real life? *snickers*
Well, I for my part measure games on how long they kept me interested. If an eight hours game could keep me interested the whole time, it was better then 40 hours game which I just finished for the sake of it.
On the other hand, if a 40+ hour game can keep me interested over all that time, then that's even better.

He said one generation...not a freaking century.
And? That's a good thing. Free Market competition...wish we'd have more of that.

Where the hell do you live?!
Spamming the Universe? Now that's an idea!
Whoops, sorry for that Off-Topic vote...I slipped and picked the wrong article...

Ahhh...I think my sense for irony is broken...again. :(
Excuse me?

Oh yeah, those guys...it's impressive how good BS and half-knowledge sells these days.
Or are you one of those 'interesting' people who use jpeg artifacts to claim the Moon doesn't exist, or whatever?
Please tell me that you made that one up...

Wasn't that a copycat of Dungeon Keeper?
