Rule #1. Don't buy, support, or assist DRM games, media, laws, etc.
Rule #2. Put your money where your mouth is. DON'T BUY DRM GAMES! I don't care how good they are.
Rule #3. Too bad people don't understand how to vote with money. You don't buy it, the company doesn't make money. They don't make money, they die. People who support DRM with their own money are shooting themselves in the foot, giving up their right to play the game as they should be able to, not the way the company wants you to play their game.
Rule #4. If you like slavery, then you like DRM. Digital Slavery. You didn't buy the game. Your renting it, leasing, borrowing, etc. But you don't own it. Your a slave. The company is the master.
1. Money is an issue. Best blu-ray player, and a plasma screen with 1080p output display. Whats the point of seeing blu-ray on lcd? Plasma is better BY FAR! I want to see BLACK. Not white-washed black on lcd's. Even CRT's have better blacks than lcd. Any CRT, even from the 1980's.
2. Blu-ray titles are expensive. I don't think DRM is an issue. Slysoft FTW!
3. I would rather get a pc with blu-ray. You pay about the same total price, and you can do a LOT more with it. I haven't found a way to hook up a pc to a plasma with DVI yet. But I will tolerate LCD if its hooked up to a PC.
4. Hard drives are better per $/gb than blu-ray. Prices will go down for blu-ray, eventually. But as I see it, HDD density is just getting better. HDD are the better option for storage.
5. When the internet gets to fiber optic speeds, blu-ray is virtually over. Just buy and download. Gigabyte wireless is coming. Then terabyte wireless. Physical media is becoming a moot point, except for backup.
6. Most people don't care about blu-ray. They don't care about 1080p, hdmi, DRM, etc. People are stupid. Press play. DONE. That's it.
7. In the future, movies won't be put on Hard drives, blu-ray, etc. Think DNA pills. Swallow the pill. Watch and experience the movie in your mind, literally. Sound, picture, smell, etc. The brain is a literal hologram machine anyway. Why not use what you got?
Will people stand up and say I will not allow and will not accept this alteration of events as they happened in the "real" world? Some will, most people will not give a damn.
NBC will alter future events. NBC does not care about the truth. NBC wants MONEY.
ALL MEDIA COMPANIES WANT MONEY!
They will lie, cheat, obfuscate, alter, hide, change any story to make money.

My ignorant opinion is to get more education. It's worth it, if you want it.
If full time isn't possible, do it correspondence/distance education.
Helldesk really is HELL.
It's amazing what padding your resume does. You have to take the first step.
As for moving back home, I wouldn't do that.
But if you get along with your family, I guess its an option.
Education for education's sake?
OMG!
I don't think so. Education = $$$.
Its already been mentioned here, so I won't go beyond that.
I wish I got paid for grades. It would have motivated me a little more.
As for the education I received in my gov't funded high school, it was utter garbage.
But I passed, got that useless high school diploma, and moved on.
No one else is going to care about you. Except you.
You must take self-responsibility for your actions, non-actions, and everything in-between and beyond.
You are responsible for what you do, ignore, or any other action you do.
In this case, safety at "school".
I remember school. I remember almost no safety protocols at all. I did science and all the other tech stuff.
Safety? What? You mean using a band saw with no breathing, eye, face protection? OH yeah. I remember.
Schools can't pay for safety. Schools don't care about you.
You have to take care of yourself.
YOU are on your own.
I've tried it several times.
It just doesn't work.
Anyone else have this problem?
Systemcheck is the name of executable which
probes your system specs to send to blizzard for
this beta of sc2.
Maybe my system just doesn't cut the cheese.
Syfy? Go to HELL!
Mainstream audience? If I want dawsons crap,
reality crap, or other game-show crap I can
go to other networks.
Discovery Channel used to be good, in the 80's.
TLC used to be good in the 80's.
A&E was good in the 80's.
Then it all changed in the 90's.
NOW its useless dribble.
SyFy has joined the dribble.
Good job at catering to the LOWEST denominator.

I paid money for that economics course.
I took my own notes.
I paid for the paper.
I paid for the pens, binders, bags, time, etc.
They are mine.
You want to pay me a full refund, plus interest?
THEN and only then are the notes yours, if I agree.
I would fight that teacher, read the rules again.
That teacher would feel my legal aid punches and kicks and everything else that I could legally do.
You didn't mention if you are taking a university course or college course. Maybe that doesn't matter.
In my personal opinion, she is a control freak and needs counselling.
What kind of drm does this game have?
3 install limit?
Requires constant internet verfication?
What is it?
EA is DRM. Period.
What kind of slave program is built into this one?
Pre-crime
1. Having a "criminal" face.
2. Moving your body like a "criminal".
3. Having a skin colour like a "criminal".
4. Wearing "criminal" clothing.
5. Wearing "criminal" jewelry.
6. Wearing "criminal" hairstyles.
7. Having a bad day? Angry faces are now a "crime".
8. Looking too long at her boobies? Lustful faces are now a "crime".
9. Making a fist at someone but NO contact? You have committed a crime.
10. Crawling on the ground looking for contacts? You have committed a crime.
11. Use your imagination. Everything you do is now a "crime".
12. Welcome to the Police State of [ country ].
NOTE : No crime has been commited, except your appearance, and body language.
That's right. Your appearance and body language are now "crimes".
Everyone is now a "criminal" by default.

[ Authority Figure ] pisses off [ slave figure ].

Management thinks they are untouchable.
IT workers know otherwise.
Respect is a two way street.
Disrespect is also a two way street.
Give a kid a hammer.
He is happy.
Give a kid a pencil.
He is happy.
Give a kid a computer.
He is happy.
Kids can do anything.
And so can I.
hee hee.
Yes it has.
Warp LHC!
Lets demonstrate FTL power once and for all.
In other unrelated news :
Black hole power systems for sale!
Infinite power! No maintenance required!
DRM is extinct.
Everyone has said what I wanted to say.
FREEDOM!
Freedom from all tyrants and oppressors!
DRM is evil.
I hope this game has REAL collisions.
As in you can RAM the other ship.
Some games, like EVE, completely ignore this.
You can ram moons, suns, other ships, asteroids, and you get ZERO damage.
Its a joke.
I hope that jumpgate evolution allows ramming.
Don't call.
Just go to your back up system.
1. Morse code.
2. Quantum Accelerator.
3. Prayer [ hah hah ]
4. A book.
Warning : extreme sarcasm
The FBI need MORE power.
Investigations without a warrant or/and probable

This is the FBI need to do their job.

consequences.

6. Absolute power to seize anyone or/and anything that they want.
7. FBI don't need to pay taxes anymore.
8. FBI gets free cars, free houses, free sex,
free HDTV, free OC-10 Internet connections, etc.
The FBI deserve FREE everything.
9. FBI have absolute power to make any new law they want to create.
10. FBI have absolute power to erase any law they want to destroy.
NOW the FBI can do their job.
Everyone must support the FBI's NEW powers.
EVERYONE.
No one in the USA will stop the FBI.
NO ONE!
Welcome to the POLICE state of the USA.
ALL americans just love to give away their
civil rights and freedoms to the FBI.
Liberty? Who needs that.
I congratulate all the people standing up.
Standing up for themselves.
Wait? WAIT? WAIT FOR WHAT?
A messiah? A sign? Government approval?
HELL NO!
Just do it.
I know the solution. What I need are resources.
I don't need a messiah, a sign, or the damn gov't.
Electric Vehicles kick major ass.
NO need for gas. A little bit of oil, maybe.
NO money for opec. Hah hah.
Congratulations to all the people who are
standing up and saying "Screw you", I am NOT
going to wait, I am NOT going to allow and I am
NOT going to accept your SLOW SLOW SLOW progress
on EV.
In evolutionary terms, IF OPEC ran evolution, all
humans would still be in caves and drawing
crap pictures.
You don't need broadband.
What you want is a police state, with NO civil rights, NO freedom of speech, etc.
The government is GOD.
You don't need religion, sex, family, etc.
All you need is the government.
You don't need the internet. The government
will tell you what you NEED TO KNOW.
Dial up? People can't handle all that data.
Better cut them off. NO BROADBAND.
Only smart people can handle broadband, like
the Japanese. The USA can't handle anything
more complicated than "pong".
The USA gov't is giving people what they WANT!
The people are voting these idiots into power.
In a democracy, YOU determine who gets into power.
YOU don't want broadband, you won't get it.
You want broadband, start standing up.
START STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF!
You want the job done right, do it yourself.
Very simple.
Trust no religion, no television, no radio, no books, no gov't, nothing.
Once you trust someone, you will probably be betrayed. Humans love to stab people in the back.
TRUST NO ONE!
I hope star trek online is way way WAY better than eve-online.
You can't ram a ship? pfft!
You can fly into a moon/sun and NO damage?
You can NOW buy isk with real money legally?
I hope star trek online is kick ass.
Am I surprised? NO.
Will this happen again? YES.
Will people stand up and say I will not allow and will not accept this alteration of events as they happened in the "real" world? Some will, most people will not give a damn.
NBC will alter future events. NBC does not care about the truth. NBC wants MONEY.
ALL MEDIA COMPANIES WANT MONEY!
They will lie, cheat, obfuscate, alter, hide,
change any story to make money.
Conclusion : Trust NO ONE!
Apple wants MONEY. aka GREED.
Make a dumb program, sell it for 1000000000% what
its really worth.
I'll gladly take your money.
I got a pet rock here for you.
Low LOW price of 10 trillion dollars.
Bwah hah hah hah hah hah.

Something has gone terribly wrong, or right.
ATI must LOVE this. It is definitely helping
ATI's image.
A lot of nvidia chips are messed up.
It almost makes me want to go to ATI.
Almost.
But nvidia is admitting their mistake.
Probably because they can't lie about it, and
they don't want a mega lawsuit on their ass.
