Wallace, 43, allegedly used a phishing attack to steal usernames and passwords from victims and then used the stolen credentials to post spam to victims walls
So people were stupid and fell for this crap, that sucks and all, but i get emails every day about how I won a lottery overseas or how there's some princess in another castle.
I use half a brain cell and ignore them, so again I ask, what law is in place that makes tricking people illegal? I see CONgress doing that all the time...
I personally think anonymity brings out the best in people. Or at least, brings out their honest opinions.
The internet never hesitates to tell you that those jeans do, in fact, make your butt look big.
Haha, keep dreaming pal. A more accurate title would be "Year of the pirate copies."
Most people I know around here would rather get an illegitimate copy of windows/mac than switch to any linux OS.
Just take one look at this game to see how terribly, terribly wrong a PC port can go.
These guys outsourced to another company to do it, and when it was released, it had SO MANY PROBLEMS the company dropped it and ran.
If you even want to play it period on a windows 7 machine, you have to find a user created mod that fixes the issues, the most notable being the 200% or so speed up.
Just...just fuck you Mozilla. This is the last straw for me.
As much as I've made fun of Opera users throughout the years, looks like I'm joining them now...
I'm not saying the system has failed, i'm saying why it's doing poor right now. Which, you know, is the point of the article?
Right now the games currently out are hogwash, the lineup has me very excited I'll admit, but the fact remains that right now there is nothing new that can warrant spending money on a new system this very second.
Another iteration of street fighter? Another rerelease of OoT? Really? You think these games are worth paying $250 (or now $170) for?
DS games? DSi games? If I wanted these I'd go buy the much cheaper DS/DSi.
Downloads? Same deal.
Now, again, in a year? I'd totally recommend people buy it. Right now? It's weak, and will remain so until some of the better titles start flowing in.
But we're seeing cancels and delays left and right, unless the 3rd party game producers start having faith in the 3DS as well, that is what will cause it to fail.
I'm hoping, though, that some of Nintendo's upcoming releases will restore their faith.
Was not, by any stretch of the imagination, the price point. (While this certainly didn't help)
The reason the 3DS is failing is because the lack of strong games, the launch titles were so weak it was sickening.
Odds are, this price drop isn't going to convince too many people to buy it because it STILL LACKS ANY GAMES.
And no, another re-release of Ocarina of Time does NOT count as a strong game.
I honestly think once all the games shown at E3 are released, you'll start seeing sales pick up. But until then, mine's a nice paperweight.
The biggest websites that link to pirate sites are popular web searches. Google, yahoo, ask, etc.
Good luck blocking them without being swarmed by their lawyers.
Even just birthing a child costs money (hospital bill, excess food bill for the mother, etc.), I don't know the exact figures though, was it really worth it?
If they can't get over falling that ten feet of the monkey bars, they're in for a huge shocker when the real world comes knocking.
I grew up on that "unsafe" equipment, and sure I got cuts, bruises, and I cried, but I can't imagine NOT experiencing that.
It's part of growing up, and we have enough immature adults running around as it is, lets not go out of our way to grow more.
Define they. If they = UK government, probably not.
But if they = media, the ones that make the headlines? Yes, because they love stuff like this these days.

If you can't win, sue, sue, sue.

I have not heard of any of these, and will be looking through them all, thank you AC.

If you can't make a better product, sue, sue, and sue.
...so you mean i can profit with /real/ money off the laziness of other players now? Count me in.

But between flashblock and adblock, I can't remember the last time this was an issue.
This is very basic math ...
Why are you assuming politicians can do basic math?
Aaannnddd...I just noticed what I titled my subject. I can see why you said I thought it failed, that was my own poor choice of words. MY BAD.

I swear this story sounds familiar...
"racing game"
And nothing of value was lost.
Even just birthing a child costs money (hospital bill, excess food bill for the mother, etc.), I don't know the exact figures though, was it really worth it?
Fair enough I suppose.
While I do hope Apple loses this patent troll suit...
...I really hope HTC doesn't become tomorrow's patent troll.
"it will soon acquire an extra 235 patents from its takeover of S3 Graphics"

UK Government shocked when all its restricted files are found all over the internet.
Is they very quickly degrade to "go kill that stronger enemy with this bigger gun"
Yawn. Boring. Done it a thousand times.
I still prefer them at least /trying/ to act like they care over capcom's recent "fuck you customer" attitude.
