I do. I will not connect a Windows PC to the internet in my house, period. Since most things require patches, some on release day, I stopped bothering. That, and invasive copy protection, and I just said forget it, no more PC gaming.
I used to work in a lab (not in California). One of the chemicals had lots of warnings in little bitty print, including: Causes Cancer Immediately wash on skin contact
The chemical? Sucrose (aka sugar). We often didn't bother buying it from the checmical supplier and just got bags from the store.
I can't tell if the scratch and sniff card is or ever was real. Honestly. Was it?
Yes.
Leather Goddesses of Phobos (although it was interactivity aid, not DRM) Infocom liked to put goodies in that would make you want to buy it rather than copy it.
My free time is more valuable to me than my salary would indicate. I want to plug the computer in and go, especially if the primary purpose is for gaming.
I deal enough with security issues and such at work, I don't want to bother with it at home. Hence, for my gaming I went with consoles after getting fed up with the computer for gaming.

Property rights win. Admin's server, admin's rules.
This is the stable one
And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you
Yes. He's using it as a media center. Doesn't have any games for it at all.
Windows Terminal Server gives you enhanced functionality, that's a tradeoff.
Point to the number on the bottom line that's a gain for companies with Vista.
GPL places no restrictions on the user. It places restrictions on redistribution.
Nope, not this time
Except Windows Update doesn't use the hostfile...
So, a story from Shakespeare is art, yet a game based on that same story is not? Sorry, don't buy that.
It's also out on PS2
You do know that
a) a vast majority of buyers are over 35?
b) Less than 10% of games are M
c) 2/3 of gamers are over 18?
Third party rating systems mandated by law violate due process. That's already been held in the case of movies.
So God of War was awesome.
Except for those *@Q(&$(@*& spinning blades in Hades.
The voting machines are running embedded Windows and using Access to store results.
Not very embedded, is it?
There's a port of Ultima VII coming out for the PSP. Near future enough for you? ;)
Shipped or Sold? Nintendo reports in sold, not shipped.
How many XBox are actually sold out of that shipped number?
I do. I will not connect a Windows PC to the internet in my house, period. Since most things require patches, some on release day, I stopped bothering. That, and invasive copy protection, and I just said forget it, no more PC gaming.
When (currently if, because of the patches), the XBox 360 isn't connected to the net, how do you get patches?
The patch free is a *plus* in my book.
I've seen crypto subsystem updates with that turned off.
You actually need to turn off the service.
I'm seeing both "more stable than expected" and "not ready for prime time" being used to describe Vista.
It can get ridiculous, however.

That's tiny? I have big hands and don't have a problem with the DS Lite, which is even smaller. I expected my hands to cramp, but they don't.
What about Master of Magic?
And install the OS
And install the apps

If you want value, that is not necessarily true. Time is not free and needs to be factored in.
