I'd like to be able to copy my game DVDs to the hard drive so I do not have to get up to swap discs OR if I can't have that, I'd like a multi DVD changer. Anything that helps me stay on the sofa longer is a win.
Seeing "Windows Live" on the box has stopped me buying games more than once. Even games I’ve really wanted to play. Eventually, I bought them for the ps3 when the price dropped as I feel less attached to that bit of kit.
I do not want a console like experience for my PC. I view that as many steps and many many years backwards. I hope Windows live for the PC fails! I do not like DRM (of any sort) and do not like being tracked as I play, especially by Microsoft. In reading this site for years I’ve slowly grown the tinfoil hat and get upset at the mention of DRM?!?
I maybe way off the mark and the only thing that happens is a bit of first time activation. However, I don’t trust them not to change terms and I cannot be bothered to read up on it. At its basic level it’s only a game. As a paying customer, I do not like being, or feel like I'm being criminalised. I’ll but it, you leave me alone.
To me, a console experience means I’m sitting on a sofa, rather drunk, playing games that are far too easy; but made impossible by the awful controls. When I want to play something with a bit of meat. I’ll fire up the PC, sit upright and get stuck in.
Because they get their machines taken over.
A bot-net gets bigger.
A granny can't use her machine.
Evil porn is served up from Teh Gran Machine.
The state kick down Gran's door and take her away.
Gran gets 30 years in jail. She's 96.
I missed out profit & base ownership claims. It is all bad for Gran.
Why bother with child porn.
Judging by the stories that have been posted on here over the last few months, you only need to post some thing like “I’m going to bomb X” on a message board under a false name.
Before you know it, the target will be held under anti-terror laws that make being prosecuted for the possession of child porn look like a viable and preferable option.

Almost a Daft punk song there "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".
Finding out what type of rootkit is used a problem too. It needs to be printed on the box.

In summary then, “Windows live” no thanks.
I would not take any data; but I would like this chair though. Plus It would be nice to get a seat on the underground on the way home.
the CEO ends a two hour meeting with "All your base are belong to us." I'll know it's true.
They had jets in the 30s so much so the woosh should have been much the same.

Most of them in a draw some where and the rest are in a box in my loft..
No idea what half of them are for; but I keep them around, you never know.
Yes; but that doesn't mean he knows anything about computers.
Know how he feels.
My car has a good radio, but I also think it wouldn't make a good camera. Technological convergence is hard!

Don't play system shock 2 then. You may have a heart attack.
*revamp of this game please please please.*
I think we all agree here that this is "just a theory". Despite all that MumboJumbo you call "Science".
It's only a theory. Like gravity and maths.
+6 flamebate on other sites, this sort of talk is you know...
I called the dog syndrome.
It up sets people when I tell him to get down from things.
I named my cat "Admin". Was that wrong?
So Amok Time was about about Kirk calling Spock a fanboy and that's why he went ape?!?
Wow, did I misunderstand that one! Hands back card and accompanying plastic Tricorder. *shame*.
Does anyone else read the part in quotes in a synthesizer voice?
This shit isn't hard.
Drink less coffee.
I'm almost sorry for that one. Almost...
I'd say that MI6 or the CIA would be calling soon. They need people like you.
A true "true patriot" and or "God save the Queen."
