    Entrapment is the FBI forcing you to buy drugs. It is not entrapment if the FBI catches you attempting to buy drugs. This is why sting operations work. In a sting someone pretends to be offering %illegalstuff% and they wait for customers, who are then arrested. The logic is that the person arrested was attempting to commit a crime and would have done so even without FBI intervention.

    Yahoo! simply has nowhere to go. They've been out innovated in everything and their original purpose, human indexed websites, is no longer relevant to the world. Anything Yahoo! does, Google or Microsoft can do better.

    You could start by not using an ActiveX object. Also, how is being able to embed executable code into a document a good thing?

    Everybody knows the new metro interface will vastly increase productivity. Soon we will stop having to use keyboards and we can all live in the Star Trek future of colorful touch panels for everything! Multi tasking is sooooo 20th century.

    Episodic content can be done well if you can push episodes out on a schedule. Game devs should take a page from TV and code ("film") all their episodes in advance then release them every 2 months or something. Basically, buffer the entire "season" and release it incrementally.

    I'm referring to BF3, of course. BF4 will probably be worse. I have dealt with a lot of trolls being an active EVE player, but BF3 was too much.

  19. No, no no on EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games · · Score: 3, Informative

    Loved the series before it so I preordered. I finally get the game and find it has created the most elitist and troll infested cesspool of a game I've ever encountered. Between the stat padders on Operation Metro and the server admins kicking me for outscoring them, I got fed up. I think the final straw was when forum 'discussions' degenerated into the person with the highest KD ratio automatically being right about everything. The community killed that game.

    Yeah, but amazingly the Linux people here still won't be happy. Much in the same way that people criticize Android for being "not real Linux" they will attack Valve's console Linux as "not real Linux" and demand that they can run the game on their distro of choice.

    The only reasons your game box might be unstable are a) failing hardware b) some crappy 3rd party "optomizer" and c) noob overclocking.
