... am glad the Democrats have completely fixed all of the USA's other problems so that they have the spare time to go after illegal copyright infringment.
I mean obviously copyright laws are much, much more important that say rising fuel costs, a war in Iraq, or fixing healthcare / education.
Running With Scissors has made a nice niche market for itself with it's Postal series, which I love. They are so in your face in everything they do that the media all but ignores them now. So what if you can't sell them at Wal-Mart or Target, if your target demographic knows about the game & it doesn't out & out suck, people will buy it.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a 1-5 rating based on the hurricane's present intensity. This is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf and the shape of the coastline, in the landfall region. Note that all winds are using the U.S. 1-minute average.
Category One Hurricane:
Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 km/hr). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage. Hurricane Lili of 2002 made landfall on the Louisiana coast as a Category One hurricane. Hurricane Gaston of 2004 was a Category One hurricane that made landfall along the central South Carolina coast.
Category Two Hurricane:
Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 km/hr). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low-lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings. Hurricane Frances of 2004 made landfall over the southern end of Hutchinson Island, Florida as a Category Two hurricane. Hurricane Isabel of 2003 made landfall near Drum Inlet on the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane.
Category Three Hurricane:
Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 km/hr). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large trees blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering from floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required. Hurricanes Jeanne and Ivan of 2004 were Category Three hurricanes when they made landfall in Florida and in Alabama, respectively.
Category Four Hurricane:
Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km). Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph. Hurricane Dennis (pdf) of 2005 struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four hurricane. From NOAA.gov
Category Five Hurricane:
Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 km/hr). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with
I bought it online from Amazon. The disc was old, from the 90's, but didn't have an scratches on it. I'm guessing whoever owns Humongous Games now repackaged the game & added the DRM. The one I have doesn't have DRM. Are you sure it wasn't just a registration screen requesting internet access?

Keep your filthy hands off my hardware!
... our courts had this much sense.
Section (2) is total bullshit.
... we need heavy handed tactics like this that affect people from all walks of life to show how absurd our current IP situation is.
Does the "writer" of the article even work any more?
DRM for electronics? No thanks.
That's why I love gogamer.com. I just got the Half-life Anthology for $7, NWN Diamond for $19 & NWN2 for $19.
Yeah, they are all "old" but they aren't old to *me*.
Kindernet.... it has a nice ring to it!
...fuck Malaysia & fuck whoever their king is.
Seriously.

I haven't played that one but I love all the PC Carmageddon games.
Completely legal. Probably can't use the CUPS name however.

That is all.

Mod this down, I swear to God I only copied the Cat 5 part of this, I don't no idea how I managed to get the rest.

Yeah, this will work.
... I just can bring myself to get hyped up over yet another freaking locked down cellphone.
... if "British Privacy Group" isn't a an oxymoron, I don't know what is.
That would be so very cool if one of the 223 work units I've completed really did help uncover some of this information.
Statistics. It's just math guy, don't get so worked up.

PalmOS or Symbian? They are still around, right? QNX? What about that TRON O/S that they love in Japan?
