WOW!!! this is one of the coolest/. things ive ever read. we need a poll or somthing.. this is awsome.. im still like 1/4 through reading it.. awsome work
i work in techsupport.. and you have no idea (well... actually ya i guess you do have an idea) how right you are.
and im not talking advanced programing stuff.. im talking basic stuff.. like clicking on options or advanced settings.. no i dont have a doctorate ma'am just 2 years in a local college (that im still trying to pay off)
We dont have a DMCA in Canada. so when that/. story (that i couldnt find) about @home cutting news groups that affected us because we were @home. but when @home fell apart Rogers gave us access to ALL the news groups.. i mean have any of you ever heard of alt.binaries.cd.image ?? WOW!!! thank you @home for going under:)
course... no rogers is going to charge me for that:( oh well..
1- its freeware
2- EVERYONE should know by now it has "spyware" installed
3- its a napster wannabe
4- its called morpheus (what a lame ripoff name is that)
i mean come on ppl.. just what do you expect? now if they released a the source code or something "community friendly" then well...
I like in the bottom of ther artical where they mention "Each game comes with health guidance stating people should take a break of about 15 minutes during each hour of play. "
so.. how dose that help me when im 'whacking off'?
that means each session only really lasts for 45 minutes.. hardly enuff for it to be worthwhile
I mean really Katz.. Tech support for fixing a problem your created by deleting a vxd.. or a cashier saying "you didnt buy that sweater when it was ripped" how can you compare the two?
and tech support rude? me? on the phone.. N E V E R!
and that zit faced teeny popper at wallmart?ignoring me at her cash.. N E V E R!
Being a Hockey fan and not a football fan I cant make any analogies
But the out come of this "game" could have more serious repercussions, imagine if Compaq/HP started selling Linux/AOL and Dell Gateway only sold M$/M$N
I think that's one possible outcome, but chances are the game will go overtime and just end in a tie.
Sorry, mabey i was to sarcastic with that last post.
if i was a CEO and i know somthing (anything) why would i spend all that money hiring all thoes profresionals to encrypt files. when you know you can bet on it, that ppl will hack thoes files
and the DMCA, well that dosent apply overseas, some one could just post it anonymously.
so this new.nap format is copy protected right?
why bother?
i mean how long is going to be before its allready cracked?
sorry.. how long is it going to be before i can download the application to crack it?
i mean come on. chances are its allready been cracked. so why bother? no really? why do corporations even bother with encryption?
No he is right.
and there was a/. articale (i couldnt find it) that stated that the "RIAA has lost %30 of sales" and it was on CNN and stuff, but if you read the really ultra microscopic print. they lost %30 of all casset signles sales. but that CD sales had actually gone way up. they just focused on the bad and anounced that to the world. and/. was like who buys signles? who buys cassets? but did CNN cover that.. NOOOO of course not. oh well.
hey.. about they blow off ET's head in the remake of that?
you dont always need violence or sex to make a game or a movie good. im no morman or nothing, i even agree that sex and violence add to MY viewing pleasure but sometimes a nice movie is just that.. a nice movie
I just bought Natural Born Killers , and it advertised "Deleted Scenes" but thoes scenes wernt in the movie, they were in a seperate menu, and some of them would have helped the movie. in Gladiator same thing.. the Delted out takes cant be made part of the viewing experiance yet add to the movie. Snatch on the other hand allowed me to add the scenes into the movie.
So what will Tron allow me to do?
