Which is a spam/hosted search site. Yeah, you're solution is much better.
Keep playing obsolete games from companies that don't exist.
FYI, the games I'd like to play require $5 deck of cards, cash and several friends. You'd probably balk at having to purchase a deck of cards since you can "print your own";) (Joke!!!)
How many left wingers would have made a deal about "BUSH/CHENEY" if this was 4 years ago? How many right wingers are going to claim this is a Obama thing?
Libertarians realize that it doesn't really matter (D or R), government is too powerful now, and need to be reigned in. It doesn't matter "who" is in power, they abuse it. And it doesn't matter what the reason is (save the children,environment,rights,minority,tatas), there is always a nefarious outcome.
Liberty is not just for select few, it is for all. Either it applies to all equally or it is the steps to tyranny. Guess which way we're headed now? AND it doesn't matter who is in power, we keep moving that direction.
Google is the counter to the RDF, trying to entice me with shiny Chome and geek toys like Androids (wheres my girl robot??). But still, the effects of the RDF affect even these. You'll know when Google succumbs to the RDF and embraces HTML 5 over Flash
However, DRM is an entirely artificial addition and there's no physical law that says it has to be there.
Meaning "I want to BitTorrent the games I play, I'm not paying for anything anyway" right? OR are you just a dick that doesn't care if people pirate games? Steam provides a greater service than you're giving them credit for.
1) Steam only requires activation to their servers, this is one time deal. YES they could go away, but as long as you have that computer you have you can still play the game.
2) In giving up the off chance that Steam isn't around in ten years, you get the ability to install the game on any computer now, that you have access to.
3) Lost or broken CD/DVDs are no longer a problem, as long as Steam servers offer the game.
Activation is unreasonable. What if the activation server goes away in 5 years from now? I still play 10 year old games sometimes.
You haven't lost or broken the CD? Are still using the ten year old computer?
Or you expect me to believe that the game you bought (dubious claim) ten years ago (WIN 98) actually plays on your Win 7 machine, provided you still have the CD for it?
Or is it your DOS game works on Linux?
Basically I'm calling bullshit. Name the game that is ten years old, and what computer you use to play it.
Lastly, if you don't want to play the game, because of some "potential" problem, then don't.
Until then, the US was quite happy to SELL the Brits their guns and ammo.
Perhaps you'd prefer the US stay completely out of the war then? Or we should have just donated the arms? I'm not quite sure what the hell the point you were making is. Jingoistic mantra of your own perhaps???;) nice try though.
One person on CIV Fanatics reported they got the game early but were unable to install it till the appointed time.
Yeah, because of one person, who got prereleased game ahead of schedule, you're not going to buy any Steam games because of some nefarious potential problem that may, or may not ever exist.
First off, I have no problems with Steam or Apple or some other DRM that is minimally invasive. It is a fact of life. The key for me is that I don't need to be logged into Steam Servers to play the game, except for the one time activation. Seems reasonable to me.
I find it humorous how many people complain about non-existent "potential" problems.
Car Analogy: You should not drive a car because you may be in an accident, which is part of the great big evil conspiracy by the Insurance Companies, Oil Companies, Car Companies to get you to buy new cars, pay money on regular basis etc. After all there is potential for something bad happening.
Don't think it can happen again? See WWI the so called "war to end all wars". Yet less than 30 years later we had WWII. And it seems that you have forgotten who came across the Atlantic and rescued your collective ass from a couple of tyrants.
And the other thing that most Europeans and many in the US (Mostly East / West Coast) forget, is that the US is mostly sparsely populated and often untamed wilderness. Gun control may be okay for you with a city and police nearby, but out in Wyoming, guns are necessary to protect life and property, from both man and creature.
You've never had a Grizzly bear in your kitchen, have you? Or a rabid Skunk?
I would suggest that people come and see what Jackson Hole Wyoming is like, where it is not yet uncommon to see a man walking down the street with a six piece strapped to his leg. You have nothing like that in Europe. No place even close.
Personally, I think we should have no troops in Afghanistan, as we cannot win there. We should have bombed them back into the stone age and left, or perhaps let Pakistan annex them or something.
Actually to go further, I would suggest to you that we shouldn't be sending troops overseas without the consent of congress and a declared war on a declared target.
War is a terrible thing, and there's a reason why there are Constitutional rules for going to war.
If we go to war, we should go in, kill and break as many things possible, until the enemy surrenders.
1)I'm not a (R). And if you look through my posts, you'll see that I'm not. (R) are just (D) lite. Most are spineless idiots. SO if I'm using Talking points, it is accidental.
2)Obama's Afghan policy is fair. My point wasn't about Obama's policy in Afghanistan. My point was about the code pinkers and Cyndi Sheehan types who were protesting both wars and now can't be found anywhere.
And we're able to get out of Iraq in spite of what Obama wanted to do there. We did the troop surge thing and it seems to have worked, which was exactly the opposite of what Obama wanted to do. Who knows, maybe the same result would have happened had we pulled everyone out of Iraq, we'll never know.
Colbert is a mockery of O'Really (sic), and for that I congratulate him. He's actually funny. Stewart just comes across as an angry bitter man trying to be funny most of the time.
Where are those people who oppose the war now? We're still at war in Afghanistan, and yet those people have all but disappeared. Oh because it is THEIR guy running the war it must be okay.
Obama lied, and people died!
We're still at war, where are the war protesters?
They weren't protesting the war, they were protesting the president under the guise of protesting the war. Now that their guy is in office, code pink is all but gone and where is Cyndi Sheehan? How come she isn't camping out in front of Obama's vacation houses?
There's enough hypocrisy to go around, quit pretending it is only one sided.
The problem with Stewart (not so much Colbert), is that too many people get their news from him, a comedian (or is he??). Stewart isn't funny most of the time, he's just as ridiculous as those he ridicules, and most of the time unintentionally so.
Take for instance his anti rally rally. Why didn't he do this when there was a Million man march, or any of the other "rallies" that have taken place by well known left leaning organizations? Oh right, because those were "serious" rallies addressing "serious concerns", while the GB rally was.. um... too right wing for Stewart.
Stewarts just pissed because the Tea Party (and conservative libertarians) have taking the playbook from Leftwingers.THAT is why he's having the rally, it isn't about comedy at all for him. His rally is seriousness dressed up as comedy, just like his TV show. This rally only shows how petty he really is.
Now Colbert, he's making fun of Stewart just as much as he's making fun of GB. True comic genius. I wonder if Stewart get the joke. I'd go that his rally if I lived anywhere near DC.
My prediction, Stewart's rally is filled with venom and hate, directed at GB and the TeaPartiers, while Colbert's rally is fun and entertaining, poking fun at just about everyone, including Colbert.
I'm a libertarian. I don't think like that. In fact, i would call people you describe as Psuedo-anarchist Socialists.
They want to do what they want to do, then have everyone else clean up their mess. And yes, they are spoiled brats, because the responsible people tend to clean up after such brats as these.
At some point, we have to stop coddling the brats and start holding them accountable. Cutting Socialist "safety nets" would work, but some how I doubt you'd be up for that.
If you climb Mt Shasta, get caught in a snow storm and die of hypothermia, sucks to be you. We'll get your body next spring, or your next of kin can pay someone to get it now if they can afford it.
If you're being interrogated "you're a scientist and this is you recording Jupiter." is going to get you into trouble.. unless you're are 1) scientist, and 2) studying Jupiter Noise. IF you fail either of those two tests, you're in for a long stay.
Best advice, be quiet (don't say nuttin)! And if you have to say something, keep it absolutely truthful, but obscure it anyway you want.
"what is this file"
"mm mm"
"What is this file, or we'll beat the crap out of you"
"Humans are stuck at 200ms or so, while computers get faster."
While you are right, that 200ms is great for multipurpose multi-input multi capable Humans. While you can build specialized machines that can do one thing better than a human, machines aren't very good at multipurpose tasks.
Making a complicated multipurpose machine that can do more than one complex task at any given time, good luck with getting it to 200ms.
Learning is part of the experience we all share. Nobody learns to write perfect code, with no security holes in it, from the beginning.
The biggest problem with experience is that we tend to forget where we came from, and the big errors we've made in years past, or worse, we don't even know of the big errors we had early on, because we don't use that code any longer so the holes were never plugged.
Who here thinks that High School Standout can play professional Baseball right away? You don't tell that standout they "suck", and that they "make fundamental errors" and discourage them so they quit. A good coach takes what is good, and works on it to improve weaknesses .
There really isn't much left of that company. I'm not even sure it is worth that, part of their market cap might be speculative. After all they're much more likely to be worth less than 0 after all the lawsuits are settled.
