yea your right, no one makes street fighter, king of fighters, capcom vs marvel or any other old fighting games anymore
That's why they said 'one of' instead of the oldest or something more definitive. Regardless of yours or anyone else's opinion on the game or it's competition, the original statement remains technically correct.
That's not really giving it enough credit. Sure, one of the uses is "kill". But you can also use it to "maim", "wound", "destroy" (equipment) or just "intimidate"
That's a Spanish gun, it's main use is to kill, and maim , It's two main uses are to kill, maim...and wound, three, it's three main uses are to kill, maim, and intimidate! etcetera etcetera.
After leaving my last job (a school, on good terms) they'd closed down my personal accounts before I even got home. But all the master admin logins and passwords are still good, as well as all the test users I set up. I can still nip in and yoink some educational resources if I need them.
I could probably still delete everything if I were so inclined, they'd have back ups so it would just be an annoyance but still possible, and easy which is probably the worst part.
I bought a PS3. I have absolutely no desire to use it to run homebrew and I grew out of games piracy more than a decade ago. I use it to play legitimately-purchased games and Blu-Ray movies. And nobody puts a gun at my head and forces me to buy those. How does today's announcement affect me in the slightest?

Yes... but the timing is really creepy. Makes you wonder if opposition to the US internet kill switch
wasn't somehow behind all that chaos starting in Egypt via Twitter?
Try watching 'swimming with sharks'. A young movie exec gets fed up with being treated like nothing so kidnaps and tortures his boss, one of the big time movie producers. A good watch.
How is this informative if we do not know if we need to be worried or not?
Please let us know if we need to start worrying or not, just like in this post earlier on slashdot.
Now lets put those next to the most violent films of the same period and see who comes off looking worse. Even just put them against the Saw films. 'Torture porn' I believe they call them...says it all really.
There are no imaginary strings that force me to use my property in such a way as to support the goals or business objectives of other private individuals. The right to use my property as I see fit for my goals is the cornerstone of freedom. Conversely, the confiscation of my freedoms by a handful of powerful entities is totalitarianism.
I have the unalienable right to download, store and copy the leaked copy using my physical property, regardless of what the copyright or anti-circumvention laws claim. If Crytek can find the individual that leaked said secrets, and has some form of legal binding contract with said individual that covers confidentiality, they are well entitled to damages under that contract. But by all means, don't hold me responsible when your business model fails because of your own ineptitude. Using your clout to draft laws against me is not only unjust, but a violation of my inalienable rights.
That's kinda like shooting someone, then saying "there was a gun and I have the right to shoot it, it's not my fault he got in the way of the bullet!"
If you used your computer to hack into bank and transfer a load of funds to your account could you say I was just using my computer how I saw fit. They should've had better security. I don't think that'd fly to well. Or more like this situation someone else had done the hacking but just left it open for anyone else to get in. just because a door is open you're not necessarily allowed through it.
When the GP said "They" I believe he was referring to Nintendo itself. So the shovelware doesn't apply since the "budget studios" aren't Nintendo. Shovelware may be available on Nintendo systems, but it's not made by Nintendo itself
You can't just release some crap on the wii though. Nintendo has to approve it and all that stuff. So while the didn't make most of it they have said it's good enough.

They're just putting some back for later use, innit?

That's why the inquisition was so surprising.
You don't need a kill switch when you have people with guns.
Isn't the trigger a kill switch?

(especially since after i was there for 2 years, there were hardly any network issues)
Surely that can only mean you were doing your job well.
You know, the stuff I used to be able to do when it still had the "other os" feature.
Yeah, but they altered that deal, remember.

In sony world you can just buy another one to run online :|

It doesn't.

It was the CIA!
However the Bible, the world's first and oldest printed book, fails to mention any aspect of this story, including the General's involvement.
I didn't know they had translated the bible to Chinese thousand years ago...
Translated? It was written in, and Jesus spoke fluent modern English!

In Soviet Russia, Russians press button to bring in you!
Shouldn't that be button presses you?
Toy Rockets can be very dangerous in the right hands!
Or awesome!
...I'm Stealth Finger, feel free to advertise to me, I still won't buy it.

Seems they do that everywhere!

Over nine thousAANNNNNDDDD!
Excuse me while I rush out a buy one........or not.
You can stick some guns to it, yeah.
It's always interesting to see the Catholic Church joining in a crusade that means so much to so many Slashdotters!
Crusade? Slashdotters were expecting the Spanish Inquisition!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE...wait? were?
Ok! Ok! I must have, I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.
Oh? Well this is not a mundane detail!
