  2. Re:But winning isn't the point ... on Fighting Online Game Cheating in Hardware · · Score: 1

    >>some of us would actually play worse than we could, so as to make the money go further.

    err - how did that work? In the games I played you tended to get further/get better value for money the longer you stayed on... by beating end of level baddies etc...

    Paris Hilton if she wasn't heiress to millions would probably be one...
    Basically a girl (or guy, equality fans!) who shags you for free Drugs - usually class A's
    like cocaine.

    They generally look ok for while, but as the drugs ravage their looks you have to trade em in for a newer model... not a problem moral wise if you're doing them in the first place.

  7. Re:Seriously, MP3 needs to stop. Also, iTunes on Amazon to Open DRM-Free MP3 Music Download Store · · Score: 1

    It's not iTunes that bothers me
    (the gapfree playback is a lot better than others)
    it's that POS quicktime that you need to install.

    Amarok and Winamp can both play AAC/M4A with just the codec.

    I'm guessing it's DRM related.
