You too, shall be honored to experience Alex Chiu's [burning sarcasm]miraculous discovery.[/burning sarcasm] (sorry, but you asked. yes, I am kidding.)
each time the publisher would try to slip something like this in, and each time there would be an uproar, and they would back off (a little.)
my guess is that they'll keep trying, believing that if they do this often enough, eventually people would accept it as the norm. perhaps there's statistical evidence to suggest that each successive uproar were... smaller than the prior?
we're already half way there; all the people with TV equipped with network port, do you know what it has been transmitting when it's not streaming video for you?
the government is seeking to protect the citizens from the terrorists by killing the citizens first by irradiation, before the terrorists can kill them, thereby dealing a crippling blow to the terrorists' plot.
some one was either left out of the chain or their backer isn't high up enough; there are factories manufacturing counterfeit goods for years and no amount of complaints resulted in much of anything.
clippy was absolutely unhelpful because it was a product of MS genius; 100% correct but absolutely useless.
now if we're talking about GM, it might be go something like this... "there is a problem in a component. there is a $50 diagnosis fee payable immediately by visa, master, or american express before we can disclose to you what that component is. in the mean time, we're disabling your vehicle to minimize our liabil... for your safety."
considering that RAM business has repeatedly saw the bottom fell out from under it over the years (news flash - most RAM chip manufacturers have been losing money on the product most of the time) this is ONE more way AMD is going to accelerate its demise. Whichever MBA bone head that came up with this one ought to be drag out and shot in the base of his/her neck.
and wait till you find out what speed they get for their $12. While other nations are busy upgrading their infrastructure to meet consumer bandwidth demands, US' solution to bandwidth problem consists of raising service fees.

Practice a little, not practice on little asteroids. That little oops is going to cause all seven billion of us to have a REAL BAD DAY (tm).

yeah and supposed they had a little "oops" in their practice run and deflected it the WRONG WAY?

Sorry, but cat brain has already been done some decade ago.
The player's name wouldn't happen to be Abby Normal... would it?
