No, this is different than F1 racing. EA is a company headquartered in the U.S. It has taken the licenses away from competitors in one of the top 3 U.S sports (baseball, basketball, football). F1 racing rarely made top 10 in sales in the U.S. EA could care less about F1 licenses. It's not the bulk of their revenue.
I'd been telling people on slashdot this day would come!! Now EA can stall their games with even worse employee abuse and use the same engine 5 years in a roll. This monopoly is the worst case scenario. It's like Microsoft saying no one else can have GUIs and mouse.
Boycott EA sports games now! ESPN/Sega has released a better product purely out of engineering. EA knows their development can't beat it. They barely beat ESPN's $20 price match, so they deploy this bullshit marketing tactics.
Football games are about to tank like the mid 90s where EA released complete garbage, and they don't give a fuck. Cause sports fan no longer have a choice.
Look! I have an iPOD, this thing is equally faulty. It's been 1 year since I had it, and the battery keeps saying it's dying even though it is fully charged. I have to charge this thing at will, it then shuts off at random.
There you have it... the most expensive player in the market from Apple isn't that much better than Sony's player. I am waiting another year before investing in a new replacement. Probably not iPod again.
Well I am actually waiting for the 2006 edition of Toolbar suite which will come with a very advanced version of clippy. I am going to get my manager to order 200 licenses of it.
Boy, I sure hope they have a Bookmark suite coming out for future versions of IE. How about a special wingding font suite for Word.
Don't bash Sony and the PSP.... I have yet to see a single battery review or spec for Nintendo DS, anyone have a legit link?
If the battery is the only thing bad about the PSP, then I am definitely getting one. Cause I know for a fact, people will bitch about the lack of adult games on DS. No thanks Mario, Zelda, Metroid. I was done with you in the early 90s.
Of course we are fighting for oil and Bush's personal interest.
You didn't expect Tom Brokaw, Dan Rathers, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield to all quit for no apparent reason. Forget what the media tell you, this is classic conspiracy 101.
Just wait till the next generation of middle-easterner kids grow up. The U.S will have more enemies than the KKK.
Sony released their battery life spec, and every Nintendo Fanboy jumped at the opportunity to talk trash.
Correct me if I am wrong. But nintendo never released a battery spec for their DS. Oh yeah, and if I am wrong please show me a legit link. Not flaming, just trying to compare.
Blizzard is just pissed cause the company is not able to capitalize on these items. If they WERE, they wouldn't be complaining.
They should setup some kind of tax system where they get 20% of the profit when you buy from ebay etc. If you don't pay the tax, they'd send down a grim reaper to fuck your character up.
This is stupid. The server might sit in China, but the guy initiating the spam sending might live in the U.S or anywhere. In fact, it might be multiple people living in different countries.
I have that same Olympus camera with 10x optical zoom. At first it seemed like a rip off, cause I paid thru the roof.
After awhile, I have come to conclude that the 10x optical zoom is by far the best investment. Being able to binocular-ize everything is better than dealing with these megapixel issues. Unfortunately the camera prices revolves around megapixel sizes. Anything over 4.0 is almost an overkill.
Oh man, and I thought management was doing it just to pocket some a couple million dollars while firing a thousand employees. Wow, now I know they are doing it for innovation and synergy. Thanks for the clear up.
Tell me about it. I used to build LEGO machine guns with reloadable magazines and locks. Only problem was it didn't fire a thing. Not to mention I don't have enough black blocks, so the gun was like red and purple and gray and yellow.
Don't worry, California's one of those states where more people move out than move in every year. Eventually no one can afford to live in a state filled with overpriced real estate on top of a gigantic crack.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't understand the fuss. As long as there are ways to convert your m4a or whatever formats to plain mp3 files, who can stop you?
Nobody is using any new energy alternative as long as Bush is the president. Don't interrupt his get-rich scheme please.
They can't make the movie the same, quite frankly Doom III the game already ripped off Aliens the movie directed by James Cameron.
The streets of Hong Kong and many parts of China are swamped with illegal CD sales. I think MPAA is hunting the wrong folks.

Sigh... another jealous M$ fanboy who hates linux cause his career relies on running windows and clusterpatchupdate.exe.
Well deleting the C-drive has the same feel as running an Aol browser. Except you can do this without having to download anything.
It's like that line in the Home Alone movie. "Keep the change you filthy animal." And the pizza boy runs away with machine gun noises.
I was wondering if this site was truely legal? The price was absolutely insanely cheap. It seems way too good to be true.
Oh man, and I thought management was doing it just to pocket some a couple million dollars while firing a thousand employees. Wow, now I know they are doing it for innovation and synergy. Thanks for the clear up.
It's fair to say every unix version has one good thing going for it.
Sun - good os
Sgi - great cxfs and decent graphics
HP - scales well
But you notice the problem, not one platform dominates enough to destroy the competition.

They need to make movies out of this stuff.
LOL I was laughing so hard, I choked on my own food. Gotta love it when people begin the replies with Dumb fuck!

The question is WHO the hell is installing the alternatives for the student if IE should be taken off. IT needs to be somewhat responsible.
Bring your PC to the computer center, we'll run firefoxsetup.exe for you. Ok. now go home. Repeat for 80 billion students.
