I believe Warcraft III was the first Blizzard game to have both versions from the beginning.
My copy of Diablo II that I got back before the expansion to that game came out was Mac/Windows compatible. It was built for Mac OS 8.5 if I remember correctly. At that time, I bought the game intending to use it on my PC, and used it that way for a long time, and now I'm using it on Mac OS X! Blizzard built up a lot of good will from me by doing that. Not to mention they patch their games for a long time after they ship them.
I tried going directly to the printer friendly version and was redirected to the standard version. Tom's Hardware seems to be checking to make sure that people are coming only from their site when they try to see the printer-friendly version. So if you're running into trouble, try manually changing index.html to print.html.
I hate the term "gamers" altogether. I've never said "I'm gaming right now," I say "I'm playing video games." Hence, I'm a player of video games, not a gamer. Game is a noun, not a verb (at least not in that sense of the word). Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a stickler when it comes to English!
Do you really believe in the point you're trying to make? Seriously. Stop arguing for the sake of argument and read what you wrote. You're arguing that driving off without paying a mechanic who worked on your car isn't stealing. You know and I know that it is stealing.
Seconded. Your experience is so similar to my own, I have to wonder if I didn't write it myself after sleepwalking with Ambien. Users don't understand outbound firewalls. Most of them don't understand inbound either.
As for the pink bunny screen, no sane software produced would do that in a million years, for exactly the reasons above. You can be pretty sure that someone you embarass like that will NEVER buy. A MAYBE is better than NEVER. As long as there's a chance in hell of a purchase, they'll let the pirate be, no matter how loud they cry "thief" via BSA and all that.
It's not QUITE as blatant as having a big X as the mouse cursor, but the version of BSD that I used to use at work had a nag screen that would come up when you logged in and didn't have enough user licenses. I think it was BSDi. Once you started working, you'd eventually forget about the user license warning, but logging in every day to see that you don't have enough licenses is pretty annoying. We eventually just switched to FreeBSD.
It's a goddamn compliment, for cryin' out loud! Have you become so sensitive to the feelings of women that you can't compliment them anymore? Give it a rest.
Re:Now it's time to kill The Simpsons

The problem is, the more crappy episodes of the Simpsons that get made, the more likely the syndicated episode you plan to watch will be crap. Less new shows helps the odds that a good Simpsons gets aired in syndication. Seinfeld had it right, they quit when they were at their best. Hence, every time Seinfeld is on the air, it is guaranteed laughs.
The skeleton of Cadavra rules. You have to wonder if maybe the reason he stayed dead for so long was that he was such a jerk to everyone who previously stumbled across that cave!
Virtua Tennis is definitely in my top five games of all time. What's better than a four player game of the old VT? Nothing. Although, they should have lowered the volume of the guy saying "Virtua Tennis" at the beginning of the game. I need to lower my TV's volume preemptively when I play!
It's a lot more difficult to study the bugs in closed source code and get a bugs per thousand lines of code metric out of it. That is probably why they're doing the testing on OSS.
Coverity evaluated 15m lines of open source code with Stamford University's Computer Science Department. The report has identified bugs that can corrupt a machine's memory space, memory leaks, buffer overruns and crashes. Coverity said it would now engage with open source developers to improve code, and identify potential reasons for why some projects have more bugs than others.
Yes, the folks who ran the tests plan to submit their findings to the developers to help squash bugs.
I have a 15" Powerbook G4 with that same blinding light. What I've been doing is taking my metal tin of lip balm, Burt's Bees, and attaching it over the light magnetically. It works great! You're right though, that bastard's extremely bright, and I tend to charge my Powerbook on the table right next to my pillow when I sleep, so it's like a flashlight in my eyes.
I used to play that all the time. It came with my parents' PS/2 Model 25. That was by far the best of the games that came with it. I didn't even know it was a clone of Loderunner until years later!

I think you mean a Minutemen song. "Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing." Close enough.
Classic! I think you nailed it.

Do you use Firefox? I use that at work (on Win2K) and that happens to me all the time. However, it never happens with Safari at home.

I've never played the regular FFT, only the "Advance" version. What did they take out that you liked so much?
That's hilarious! Thanks for pointing that out. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves.

Halo is a Microsoft game. Slate is a Microsoft website. That is why they said Halo obsessives.

Teenagers being murdered isn't right either. Yet, showing it in a movie (or TV show) never caused any problem.
First things first! They're getting to violence. They're just starting with sex first, that's all.
I sleep now!

That comment reminded me of a scene in the movie "S.F.W." where Spab and his friend mosh around and wreck Spab's room. Funny stuff.
