  1. But I've already played it on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    It's not like the original Fallout games, where I'll want to revisit it from time to time.

    I've bought dozens of licenses of those, mostly through GoG.com, to push on friends and relatives who haven't played them.

  2. Faulty premise on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    You're starting from the position that there's something wrong piracy. I, like the vast majority, have absolutely no problem with it.

    You have every right to your opinion, but keep in mind that to the rest of us, you sound like a Catholic haranguing people for eating meat on Fridays.

  3. DRM would still exist on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    They'd still want to attack the secondary market.

    Buying used games is stealing!

  4. Of course I do on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    Like the vast majority, I pay for some things and pirate others. I also use the public library. The horror!

  5. I'm not doing anything unethical on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry if you don't like it, but most people see copyright as equivalent to drug laws and have no issue with ignoring it.

  6. Meh on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    Like most people, I don't really give a shit about copyright. I don't see anything wrong with piracy, but I do buy some things.

  7. Different format reader on Color E-Book Displays Coming From E Ink Next Year · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't want to read comics on my current reader even if it did support colour. The display is too small, but big enough for comics would be too big to comfortably read a novel on. And wouldn't be as easy to pocket.

  8. I disagree on Color E-Book Displays Coming From E Ink Next Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Primates who never read are not people, at least by any reasonable definition.

  9. I will never pay for DLC on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but that's just not negotiable. I will pay once, no more.

    But, I expect the full game for my $60. If you hold back any of the content, you won't get my $60. I'll still play whatever I want to, I just won't pay you. The presence of DLC causes me to pirate games I would otherwise (joyfully) pay for.

  10. Why colour? on Color E-Book Displays Coming From E Ink Next Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many books have colour in them anywhere other than the cover? I'm not going to pay a premium for that, so monochrome readers will continue to dominate until there's negligible price difference.

    Textbooks are unlikely to factor into the mainstream readers, which are optimized for reading novels.

  11. Heh on One Quarter of Germans Happy To Have Chip Implants · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's mostly West Germans who don't want pay for rebuilding East Germany.

    Cheap Germans? That's unpossible.

  12. Never work for free on Perth Game Company CEO Takes IP By Night · · Score: 1

    I have no sympathy for people who do this and get burned; they're just eroding the leverage the rest of us have.

    That said, you need not necessarily demand cash. Stock or bonds will also do, at a rate that takes into consideration the risk of the investment. But if you give a floundering employer a free, unsecured loan you're both a moron and an asshole.

  13. No on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    Someone who looks even remotely like Schwarzenegger is not within a reasonable definition of "everyone". He was way off in the fringe.

    Partially because he did abuse steroids.

  14. Not if you present a reasonable alternative on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    But it seems to me that someone 6'2" and 260 lbs would have to look something like Schwarzenegger in the 80's.

    I could be wrong, as I said I was those dimensions and obese, not musclebound.

  15. For reasonable values of "everybody," yes on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    And those that aren't are almost certainly steroid abusers.

  16. Yep on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    In fact I am 6'2", and I was obese at 260 lbs.

  17. No one would complain about bigger seats on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    But they would complain about the higher ticket prices.

    If you're ok with that, there's a class of seats that are bigger, but more expensive.

  18. It does, though on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    Because people will tend to focus on the error, rather than the content.

  19. So you ate more and excercized less? on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    I'm not buying it.

  20. You've obviously not lost a large amount of weight on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    I have. I used to be a fatty. I did something about it. It was a lot of work, and even more time.

    It's not something that can be changed at the drop of a hat, like smoking. Further, even if you do change what put on all the weight, you'll just stop gaining it, not lose it. It's not like smokers have to unsmoke all the cigarettes they've had.

  21. Very well on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    I'll agree not to butcher yours, if only you'll do me the same courtesy.

  22. No they aren't on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    Unless you're so addicted to them that you can't set them aside during a flight.

  23. He's not lucky on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    He just did it. I've done much the same. (minus the alcoholism)

    But it's a lot of work, so there's no cause to pick on people who haven't managed to get it done.

    Nor is there any excuse for stealing your neighbour's seat, which is what this is really about.

  24. It's "through" you illiterate bastard on Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly · · Score: 1

    Is that really so hard?

  25. How much capacity do you need? on It's 2010; What's the Best E-Reader? · · Score: 1

    Books are usually around 300kb.
