This sounds to me like the RIAA and MPAA sent out form letters to all the colleges in the country and some yocal dean/lawyer had no idea what to do so now there just covering their asses.
another (similar point) I make $18CDN an hour. my time = my money
Time to Download.. Unzip.. Burn.. normally takes more than an hour, and the end result is not always guarnted (missing files, shitty quality, bad burn ect.. ect..)
Time to WALK to store and rent/buy DVD/CD 8 Minutes, cost.. $20-$30 product satisfaction: Guaranteed
I read the whole thing. and from what i can tell this is allready what we do in tech support (as a 3rd level tech)
get ALL the information who what when where why (that the 1st tech didnt) look at the history of the unit, what has been done, what hasent, Resolve the issue and test the resolution. I loved working for the company because it elliminated so much quess work ive seen at other places.
to me this knowledge coupler sounds awsome. i guess System Techs / Admins just dont have the ego's Dr's do, eh?

Good point, I co-ran a server doing the same thing, running old-skool maps (de_nuke ect..)
ive been playing (or had been) since beta 0.1 or whatever.. any one remeber gun running on cs_docks? lol
the reason i quite, was because of the retail version in just one week there were 100's of new crappy servers, filled with crappy players, and at certain times of the day 3-5 the language of the kidz playing was just awfull.. to many immature kidz playing. it ruined the game for me.
now DOD is going the same way.. the more coverage in the magazines it gets (maximum PC, PC Gamer ect..) the more kidz play, the more they swear, the easier it is for me to kill them, and i get called a cheater.. its skill, ive been playing just halflife and halflife mods since it came out, except for some age of empires i havent played anything else, to this day i havent even seen Q3 or know any one who has a copy of it.
Ya know.. for all the nerds and super geeks on this site (all you 37337 linux kernal ppl) you really dont know sqwat about the real world.
work techsupport, with windows, and see how even the basic of all users can stumble around blindly trying to save a file.
yes.. thoes of us in the know care about things like this (privacy, DMCA, SSCA bla bla bla) but the little ppl that buy computers on mass to play solitare and minesweaper dont know dont care.

If its an FPS that aint HallifeII

it aint worth my time.
Now GTA3 the Miami Add On.. that.. that is worth waiting for
I hope that this dose set back the release date for SC2
I played and finished WC3.. and what a HUGE disapoint it was.. it was more of a Roleplaying game than RTS Battle Game
Hope they dont make SC2 into a Roleplaying game.
wow... this post is awsome

Any Map Mapmaker worth is salt has made a map of his school,house,campus,work,office,call center

thoes maps are the best to play on, just dont get caught playing a network game on that map after hours
Then... "Think about the Children!" (i.e. kiddie pr0n)
now... "Think about the terrorists" (i.e. taking away our rights)
Course speaking as an ex-Compaq employee who supported these
it should be noted its free advertising for HP.. the ones who laid us off.
wich is odd... because HP is keeping the CPQ IpaQ line, but canceling there own HP Jornada line of handhelds.. oh well.
And lets not forget Padme in tight white outfit
