Seriously who the hell dropped the ball on this one? A Warhammer MMOG is coming out and it is based on Fantasy not 40k? Isn't the market flooded with enough Fantasy MMOG's?
I find the specific words the author of that article used to be kinda interesting.
"Federal agents launched a crackdown on users of a popular new technology used to steal the latest "Star Wars" movie..."
Download instead of "steal" would have worked fine in that sentance. I guess steal just conveys a more sinister idea. Like roaving bands of junky Bit Torrent users are going to break into your home at any moment. The will "steal" anythign to get their fix!
"Within 24 hours, more than 10,000 copies of the "Star Wars" film had been swiped."
Ahh yes "swiped" the files were swiped from the servers, depriving the poor innocent children of their Star Wars!
I really hate CNN, they are getting as bad as Fox News.
Hmm, Dollar a song at iTunes, Author of the article had about 2500 songs downloaded. Sounds like you might as well just download all the songs now and take your chances, pay RIAA later. Saves you from having to go through all the trouble of paying for iTunes.
Well, downloading a TV show is a little different then downloading movies. TV shows are already out there for the populace to watch for free and don't cost 8 dollars a episode. Networks make all of their money through Ad revenue's. Now what if networks started offering up the shows for download with commercials intact in the file. Sure people could still skip them, but TiVo/VCR's allow them to do this anyway.
I suppose then the new rating system to sell commercial time could be how many people download a particular TV show a month.
Now what excuse am I gonna use to explain to my girlfriend why I lock myself in my room to "Play video games." Damnit why don't you just teach her how to find.mpg and.jpg files on my system.
Way to go, waste more money on prison time for people responsible for non violent crime. Who cares about people murdering people when we have people out there pirating software!
I really don't see how this is a problem. Its basiclly just free advertising. Someone has a clip of a song on their cell phone, someone else hears it and likes the tune. Said person then asks person what the song is. After which he hopefully (in the music industries eyes) either buys the CD or legally downloads the single.
On the NCC-1701 the Standard Warp but the Max warp was only Warp 7. Furthermore Warp 10 was only a theoretical warp. Warp 9 was the most they ever used in the shows (unless there was a quantum space wormhole plasma fluctioation in the primary dilithium warp nacel matrix)

When I first read the title of this article I thought it said "Build your own Fuel Injected Computer".
I for one think that would be a whole lot cooler.
I have never been so engrossed in a game since. This was all I played for months, and also probably one of the hardest games I have ever played.
To this day I still use little refrences from this game in my daily life.

PC game came out about 2 years ago called Black and White, the main way to cast spells in this game was through gestures. By about the second island I would have killed for icons or something to click. Many times I would be trying to create a rain spell to stop my village from being on fire, all along repeatedly failing the casting because I couldn't get the stupid gesture just right. So I'll pass on gestures for anything else.
First of all I know its been said before but no good gamer can really use a OS other then windows. I wish it was otherwise but thats pretty much how it is.
Second, I just don't know where to start. I've thought about loading Linux or something up on my second PC but where to begin just baffels me. Whats a good version to learn with? Whats easy to install? What is the most stable?
Many questions arise.

I'll stick to Steam 75% off sales on PC.
Does this mean I'll have to send my "digital home" off to a service center three months after I buy it to?
I believe he is a gold medal winner at the paraolympics. I believe he felt this was the next step for him competition wise.

I believe the 20% miss chance is actually the Cloak of Minor Displacement. The Cloak of Displacement being a 50% miss chance..

Welp, looks like the videos are down already.
I'll still never buy another Sony MMOG again. After playing EQ for a year and then SWG for 6 months I can't stand the way that company runs things.

God forbid we use suspension of disbelief at a movie based on a comic book.
