Tracking and killing innocent animals is NECESSARY idiot.
Go to eastern Iowa or other parts of the united states (and probably worldwide with other species) and look at the some of the whitetail deer there. Because of taking over more and more land, cutting down more and more trees the population is dying of starvation and disease. Thinning the population is the HUMANE thing to do.
I've been under the impression the whole time that the DRM and every other anti fair use law is aiming at one thing. Locking down the music to a point to where they can charge you for each time you play it.
If it's not stopped hard in it's tracks, one day you'll go out and buy a CD, and after so many times listening to it it'll stop playing. Reading the fine print you really only licensed the music to play it 50 times. If you would like to listen to it some more, pay some more.
It's up to the markey and the consumer to hold them liable. They could pay for everytime a box crashes or has a security violation, in the form people choosing NOT to pay the microsoft tax anymore. Everyones too lazy and it's become the defacto standard to have your computer crash and your data comprimised.
Walking down the street to get me some gum, show the doorman my credentials so I can leave my own building. Show the officer on the street corner my papers so that I can continue walking down the street. Pause at the front entrance of the store to flash some ID. Show my valid cards at the counter when I buy some gum. Walk again past the officer who again asked for my papers. Show my credentials to the doorman who lets me back inside my apartment.
I'll need to hire someone to stand outside my apartment to check my ID to be completely safe from bad guys.
Wait the bad guys have computers too?!? Then it's all for naught
In the US a corperation in the courts, is supposed to have the same rights as a citizen(i think). If a citizen pulled shit the corperations did the judge would get angry. But because our government can be legally brib... err lobbied the yget away with much more then what any citizen could.
The courts should smack them around for defying them.
I can't see this becoming anything more then a novelty. So instead of doing something easily and quickly with a mouse or a touchpad underneath your hand. You're gonna hold a 5-12 pound laptop in your hands. After 4 minutes of gaming you're arms will be tired.
I signed up for free email before hotmail was bought by microsoft. I remember the day I logged in and the little butterfly logo had landed on the page, sad day. The privacy agreements had to of changed.
On a side note I still think it's hilarious that microsofts mascot is a bug.
Other studies have proven that kids that are raised on alcohol and heroin grow up to be druggies.
That's why it's the parents responsibility to keep them out of their hands, not the governments nor anyone elses.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
When I have one I will think of them, and being the huge gamer I am I know there will be many games my kids won't even see untill I think they're at the age where they can handle them.
I'm just so god damn sick and tired of lazy parents pointing the fingers everywhere else.
I don't think they can can they? They're a monopoly, proven in the court of law. They cannot give away their product at a loss to compete with another product, even if the other product is already free. But I'm sure they won't be called on it if they do.
They're already brib.. err lobbied for it I'm sure.
What ALL computer game AI needs is more randomness. Most games I play after a day or two playing them I figure out what the AI is doing. Things become so predictable and that's when the games get boring. If AI just had some random events, randomly retreat sometime, randomly change the direcion of attack, even randomly wait so many seconds before the next command is executed.. I don't know...
I bet the American public will be more flabergasted over the fact that he has pictures of Demi Moore and Paris Hilton that haven't been released then the fact he was spying on the Secret Service.
Some days I'm proud to be american, but then the drugs wear off.
Has Microsoft really contributed ANY innovation to the computer industry? There's nothing really innovative about aqcuiring another company and assimilating their product into your product line.

Nope, was just a game, hope my medical insurance covers this barfight.
I thought thats what passports where used for?
Shows how ignorant I am.

Looks like our government raised children are coming along nicely.
Looks to me that we need to start making drastic changes for better now, cause we won't be getting much help from the next batch of super-sheeple.
That's great to hear! I've been a long time uber-fan of SuSE and it's the only linux product I use for myself and clients.
In 98 when I tried RedHat for the first time even then I could see that with each new distro SuSE was taking strides while RedHat only crept along.
And now Novell owns Evolution to give MS Exchange Server and Outlook that final One-Two punch.
I may be blinded by my faith in them, but I have a ton of faith that Novell/SuSE will be the company in the news credited for being Microsofts demise.
Isn't Novell again rising with SuSE?

You teach your children right from wrong, good from evil.
If they're tought that properly the above question would be answered with a punch to the throat or something
No offense to anyone, but I don't think game reviews should be one of the 24 daily stories posted on slashdot.
At least you know when not to take a bathroom break.
You can still rent or buy these movies.
Should Casa Blanca be redone so that people will get to see it? No just go see the original!

You code your own NT system?

Anyone know of an updated site like this? Microsoft Hall of Innovation
And for only $59.99 we'll show you how serious we are.
Can't just fix it, because there's money in having it break.
There's also money in bloating software and operating systems.
Hahahaha that is bad science that must be done!
