That they are sueing for such things?
Last I checked, there was originally the WTC in the movie, but it was removed after 9/11. However, when that part of the film was made, they *were* there. In another 3 months, will the same billboards be there, showing the same thing? I doubt it. So I don't understand how they could possibly sue for something that is constantly changing. By the time this case actually gets underway, they'll look at the billboards again and some other ones will be there.
I think you're saying what most people are thinking. That is, everyone except the people that come to this site. This site is anti-Microsoft, and it will always be that way. Your points are fair, and in my opinion right. However, this community of "open minded" people will refuse to accept that people actually LIKE to use Microsoft products. It boggles my mind that people who are so against monopolies have a monopoly themself, against a company, and half of them don't even know why.
I mean, most of the fights went over 5 or more episodes in the series, and the speed at which they fought was "too fast" to even see.
So we're going to end up with an hour long movie of one fight, where they're going "too fast to see".
So really, it'll just be an hour of scenery and fighting sounds.
At my work, it's a rather frequent occurance to have to swap out hardware in the notebooks that employees use, as they become damaged, or are just defective. Usually a simple swap will fix this, and the employee goes happily on their way.. However..
One time, an unexpected error was coming up (yes, it was windows.. and no, it wasn't the Windows 2000 boot screen). The computer would lock up at every boot, with a hardware error. Thinking it was the install, a re-install was performed, and during the first bootup, it locked with the same error. This indicated that it was most likely a hardware error, so devices started to get swapped out. First, the hard drive was swapped, and again a re-install was done to no success. After this, the floppy drive, CD-ROM, and RAM were all swapped out for brand new stuff, in case of some sort of odd conflict. Again, no success, still locking. Thus, the BIOS was updated, and a re-install occured again, with AGAIN no success. At this point it was rather an odd thing to be happening, so the LCD panel (for good measure) along with the motherboard were swapped out. At this point, absolutely nothing remained from the original notebook except the plastic casing, and yet, it STILL would not stop locking up.
So it was sent back
I'm assuming it's still around, to this day, baffeling people everywhere.

Is it DCMA or DMCA? The article seems to be confused...
Comparing games to heroin? Ya, because sometimes I shutter violently if I havn't played for a few hours.
