Good. Let Intel build copy protection into their devices. I've been a happy AMD customer for over a year now(and no, it hasn't caught fire yet;p). And what better way to keep my business than to tell Hollywood to fuck itself.
Of course, if AMD bow to pressure and follow suit, we're likely screwed unless we decide to go with some obscure 64 bit alternative. Or a mac. But we all know Apple will probably be the first people to cave.
"Conclusion: Blizzard has an uphill legal battle."
Regardless of this, I'm sure the Bnetd crew couldn't afford to fight a long and drawn out court battle even if it *were* a sure thing.
Blizzard can afford to fight. Therefore, they win by default.
Now, if someone were to go to bat for the Bnetd guys, the outcome might be a bit different.
These days, blatant anti-Microsoft remarks are the only way to secure your place on the frontpage.
What, did you think that story was posted based on it's own merits? Heh.

Ahh, but do they also go out of their way to make sure they avoid picking up black people?
"The phone company doesn't tap converstations, but they sure as hell have a database of which line called which number, when, and for how long.
Holy shit, tell me about it. I received a call from my phone company a few nights ago saying, "we couldn't help but notice that you placed a long distance call around 9:30 on tuesday night of last week..."
Couldn't help but notice, my ass. My long distance provider was a rival, and the phone company was trying to get the jump on them. I guess it pays to own the pipes, right?
If you think being a C++ dev puts you in the same category as genetic engineer, you place far too much importance on your role in society.
I've been a C++ hobbyist (I don't do it for a living, but I like to tinker a lot. =)of sorts for a few years, and I can attest to the fact that it isn't exactly rocket science.

Is AMD an American company?
I don't know for sure, but I thought they were German.

Because it doesn't pay.
I get my calls around 2:30am.

Crap viewed in hi-res is still crap.
Why not use that extra cash to buy a senator instead?
Maybe you're just not funny.
First the Real Doll(tm), and the Real Sheep(tm), and now this?
Let me know when they get to Real Kowboi Kneel.

Pfft, you're so out of the loop! Get with the times, man!

It is against the law for a monster to enter the corporate limits of Urbana, Illinois.
Heh, and I can't believe you said "LOL".
*cough*
U just proved his point.

Exactly! ;)
Well, this account anyway.
I save the sub-100 account for when I feel like being l33t.
WOOHOO!
R.M.S. eat your fucking heart out!
Ooooh baby. Do I have to pay, or is this one on the house? Or, on my face, so to speak.

Oh come off it. Everyone in the scientific field knows Fortran is the way to go. ;)
