    The "education" will be akin to equating a ripper, d/l'er to a pedophile.

    Apply frustration,anxiety,hopelessness,despair,long period of unemployment or any other negative to a sane rational person for a length of time and you will get the end result: depression.

    Troll is obvious or you sir are heinous.

    When I saw this after medicating on gaming for years I realised it was time to wake up and do something about it instead of feeling sorry for myself.

    Aye. Patents are a joke. Never been a fan of Microsoft. Even less so with the introduction of paper COA's that rub off easily.

    I just switched to kubuntu a few weeks back because of the state they put ubuntu in. I hate the new interface as its way too faffy. How am I supposed to advocate that for an OS? Now this!! :( looking for a new home.

  16. Its gonna die on Makers Keep Flogging 3D TV, Viewers Keep Shrugging · · Score: 2

    I'll tell you what will end yet another foray into 3D...... 1. Price!! 2. Price!! 3. Price!! just before Christmas I was so excited to have got my new 3D TV, I rushed out to buy CAPTAIN AMERICA. After a few minutes of looking inwardly dejected at the shelf with people going about their shopping around me I had no other option but to do the 180 degree shuffle. I mean, come on, £23 for a film!! Is this some kind of joke that I'm not in on? More than twice the price of a DVD release!!! I didn't want it that badly. I almost heard the box cry out to me as I walked to the exit "But no wait theres a shiny DVD and a digital copy!!" The problem is I didn't want a DVD I wanted a 3D bluray. I didn't want a digital copy (which btw I could physically ingest the DVD and fart a better transcode than what you get on the disk) I wanted a 3D bluray. I don't know about you but I'm not fooled by the triple play scam. Extra disks does not mean extra value. If I want extra copies I'll make 'em myself. Its a shame really because I like 3D and I think it deserves to do well this time round but as usual some Grey haired Just for men using board room stiff in a suit is going to kill it off because what they lack in foresight they more than make up for in greed.
