No, the hardware is yours unless you specifically enter into a rental agreement. What they can do however is licence you the PS3 OS that runs on it and get you that way.
You've got to be kidding. You're really expecting a 20 year old game to just work out of the box in 2010? If you took a console from that same era today like the Super NES and just slid the cartridge in chances are it's not going to work first try either, because that cartridge is old and not made to play 20 years later.
If you want it to be easy, tools like DOSBox will do that. I routinely pull out the old dos games and they work like a champ, but I expect to at least take a little effort because of the age. I bet it would work for WC1 too. I put MS Virtual PC on my wife's PC and now she can run many of her XP games that don't like Vista or 7 either, so there's yet another solution.
Same with money. This ain't the UK, modifying and destroying money is not illegal. Dumb, maybe, because it ceases to be legal tender when modified and it ceases to exist when destroyed, but hey, your money.
Actually, it is a violation of US Code to destroy US currency.
I'll one up you. I never buy a new game, and I find I'm buying most stuff off of Steam because they keep selling it to me via some fire sale or another. I also then get to run anything I buy pretty much on max resolution with phenomenal frame rates. I just wrapped up Crysis a while back and at max resolution it looked gorgeous. Not something I could have pulled off it I bought it brand new.
Yeas, and every other Zynga game is designed to reward you with cross-promotes to come play the new one. A better stat will be how many remain active players (although it will still be pretty high).
It's not correctional custody. With manpower cuts that has become a dead program since there is no overhead to watch those prisoners.
What Manning is in is called pre-trial confinement . This is, for all intents and purposes, the same a being arrested in the civilian world for a crime and denied bail, which happens all the time. A number of reviews are mandatory for this to happen, and a lot of people have to agree to it.
Yep.
And the Zynga apps have gotten even worse now. To do many of the new in game functions you have to give them even more rights, including the right to automatically stream all of your posts and info. At that point you can't even choose not to share your donkey activities.
If you're just relying on a Firewall to block access to ports you shouldn't have open anyways, then yeah, you don't need the firewall
Ah, but one of the best reasons to have a firewall is that there are so many people that don't. Feel free to bang against my firewall all day or go hit my 2 neighbors that don't even have one and get right in.
It's not always about being the most secure, but being in a better postion than the next guy.
I agree with this entirely. Every non-blockbuster game that I have bought for the past several years has been driven by whether or not I enjoyed the demo. I'm not willing to shell out $ on a game I've never heard of unless I can play it first.

you're not going to "accidentally" click a link to "Inception - 730p - LoL XVID").
Of course not. Everybody knows there is no such thing as 730p. That would obvioulsy be one of them fake torrent things.
Actually, the story is often told that Greenland was never green. They called it that to attact more settlement.

I still hope that we get served less copypasta and more verified news here in 2011.
Why start now when the previous system of post and run articles has worked so well in the past.

Yes, but has not been enforced as such in some time in the US.
