Thousands of people die every day due to people in power with the same mindset as these fuckers.
Regardless of what wrongs have been done to others, two wrongs do absolutely NOT make a right. Whomever is responsible for this has instantly earned my hatred irregardless of any wrongs they have suffered at the hands of the US government or anyone else. They have murdered thousands of innocents, and ruined the lives of even more. This is not the way to earn my sympathy or to get me to listen.
You want to make a point? Use the truth, not blood.
Excuse me, but I don't ever recall US soldiers hijacking planes full of innocent people and flying them straight into buildings full of innocent people.
It may not be wise to outright kill the ones responsible for this insanity, but I much hope to hear of US special forces raiding these sons of bitches' bunkers and dragging them off to rot in prison for the rest of their miserable lives.
If one was paranoid, one might venture a guess about the remaining content providers wanting to be the ONLY content providers and therefore they might disallow the use of servers (of any sort) on their network...
Oh, wait, they already do.
Maybe they'll start blocking inbound ports to enforce this? Well, they already shot down port 80...
I'm scared, Mommy!

Thanks, AC.

I didn't want to use their stinkin' service anyway.;)

"British broadband users can now rent computer games to see if they are any good before they lay out the cash to buy the full game."
then
"The scheme is open to any broadband net user, not just those that have signed up with BT Openworld."
So which is it? British-only, or any net user?
I don't see any links to the signup/info page in the/. article, nor in the original article.
Personally, I'm not terribly excited about this anyway. Pay more money so that I can check out a game I may want to purchase anyway? I'd rather just wait for a review from a trusted source or a friend.;)
Anyway, when using the ssh-agent for no-password-required logons, you can STILL have a security issue if someone compromises your account (or your machine!). They may not know what your private key is, but they can use it just like you do. Just to be safe, pick and use a good password.;)
Yep, I tend to agree...
JonKatz: "I've never played the game".
Translation: "I have no idea what Final Fantasy is about."
"News flash! JonKatz doesn't like Final Fantasy type of stories!" should have been the body of the article. What am I saying? I am saying this review is exactly like the rest of the KatzRants(tm); overblown, exaggerated, and full of opinionated statements presented as fact.
"give Tomb Raider some credit here"
Two completely different genres here, KatzBoi. "I think Boston speakers suck! Pink Post-It notes are WAY better!", what the heck?
"There is no acting to speak of, and how could there be? There are only disembodied [...] voices"
Hello? Mr. Wizard? You slam a movie that was rendered by computers for having "only voices"? Whew, the stink is getting stronger the longer your mouth is open. The voice acting was just that; voice acting.
"The overall affect is cold and fake."
An angry military officer, whose family was wiped out by the phantoms, has become so blinded in his rage that he is willing to do anything to get revenge...
A young scientist's apprentice, infected by a horror who's details are not known, is tossed about between finding an answer to defeat the enemy, romance, and the knowledge that her own time grows very short... Etc.
So, Katz has a heart of granite. Big suprise.
"the plot is just stupid, a loopy, quasi-religious narrative that posits that aliens landed on the earth [,...] gobbled up most of its people and cities, for reasons that are never explained, and for that matter, are apparently inexplicable."
To anyone who has seen the movie and posesses an IQ of 80 or more, this is, for lack of a worse word, utter bulls#it. I can see how Katz did not understand the plot, though.
"Final Fantasy is bad news for moviegoers"
This is a matter of opinion. Here's another matter of opinion: JonKatz needs an icepick lobotomy.
