a little over 10 years ago when the company I was working for was replacing computers and server at a prosperous school distirct, the High School Cafeteria had a mini-Pizza Hut, a Mini-McDonalds, AND a mini-Subway in it....
This is why I don't fund anything on Kickstarter. Make the product first and then try to sell it, not "Gimme money while I promise the sun and the stars and still work on it..."
So when a game's DRM requires it to connect to company's server, and that server is swamped/offline, it's not the DRM that's at fault, it's the game's?
No, I don;t think Obama is that bad, I voted for him, even though he has fucked up and reneged on a few things. He failed to fix (revoke) the "Patriot Act" and has only made the whole surveillance state 100times worse... His health care bill has become an abomination thanks to his being unable to work around the republican blockage that is the congress that stated first "Our only goal is to make Obama a one-term president" instead of "Our goal is to fix the failing economy and help the citizens of America". And when they failed at that and lost again in 2012 (something I didn't think would've been possible given the state of the economy) their new goal became "Block any and/or everything Obama tries to do". While much has been block-worthy, again, the repubs are no better than the dems, especially on that front. Lose the religious nutjobs and the teatards and then maybe the republicans can win the presidency back. The moonbats they put up in 2008 (Palin as VP) and 2012 (Romney) pretty guaranteed they'd lose. McCain had a chance until he was saddled with Palin. I thought it was just a way to hurt the dems long term, since no one could fix the downward spiral the economy was in back then, I figured they threw the game just to make the dems look bad for the next four years (which Obama did in some ways). But then in 2012 they still couldn't field a serious challenge, I thought maybe they figured keep dragging the economy and then "w'ere set for 2016 victory!". But not so sure if it's typical GOP malice or stupidity at this point.
Neither party can be allowed both the Executive and Legislative branch. Both are too extreme still.
we work for our income. PERIOD. if you think otherwise, you are young and, well, hopefully you'll learn what life is about.
hint: its not about work.
I love what I do, but I only do it for the paycheck. you are NOT 'the company' and the company is not you. unless you are the owner or an early founder, you and the company have a work relationship and that's all. if they try to convince you otherwise, they are feeding you bullshit. don't buy into this idea.
THIS
The "company" doesn't give two shits about the employees, only wringing as much work out of them for as little money as possible. And in this economy, virtually no one is NOT replaceable. All the company cares about it maximizing profit.
Your post is depressingly accurate. Whenever this topic comes up in any discussion people bleat about property rights, and I immediately point out Eminent Domain and ask them what will happen to they property if they don't pay their taxes and that makes them stop and think, and grimace as realization dawns...
Oh, the poor ad industry. Who is going to stop them tracking on us, spying on us, and ramming unwanted crap down our throats with their gaudy, distracting banner ads?
Who do they think they are, the American Government, spying on us like that...
Too bad I'm neither a liberal or conservative. Then again, considering the after 9/11 the republican party's chants of "You're either with everything we do or you're a terrorist" garbage I'm not surprised. The democrats can't agree on anything within the party much less with the republicans lockstep "Toe the party line or be tossed out to the wolves" mentality.
Health care in this country is a joke, Obama tried to change it, albeit his attempts to get the republicans to co-operate failed due to their sheer bloody mindedness and left us with the mess that is Obamacare rather than simply instituting a National Health Care Plan that would help everyone except the Insurance Industry who buys votes to keep themselves rich while destroying people's lives with overpriced health care.
Both parties are to blame for this mess. One has gone too far to the plutocratic right, the other too far to the unsustainable-utopian left....

Seriously.
"Overreacting idiot parents cripple their children's future" should be the title of the article

No, you're just a stupid asshole.

Nope, don't think so
Good for you troll, now run along...
How many of these problems are DRM based rather than game-programming based?
DRM mean Broken-by-Design

No, it shows a realistic view of how government ACTUALLY works vs. the Pollyanna fantasy politicians claim it to be
"We're the government, the KINGS, and you all are our serfs. We have the military, and you'll do as told while we do whatever the hell we want!"

Dear Slashdot,
How about giving me those mod points when there's something worth modding up like this?
Dude, that's some strong weed your smoking.
Your utopia isn't worth the cost.
Since he has nothing to hide, I'm sure he won;t mind a camera and microphone mounted in his body for 24/7 monitoring....
When I have mod points, the posts like this are few and far between.
The liberty we've traded for "security" in this country is a f'ing joke, and a sad one.
