Essentially it'd get a licence, allow you to only play it on one device without permission, it'll only be valid for x plays or x days, rape your children then shit on their early graves...
The reason I'm annoyed is that they didn't even include it in the testing! It's a far superior format, and to not include it proves one thing - DRM is going to be a major component!
$45 IS cheap. In the UK it's GBP 120 for a full copy of WinXP. Or GBP 80 (why can't I use a pound sign????) for Home. That's $150! Ok, Americans may pay more for books than we do, but we pay WAY more for software it seems!
DDR2: This time it's personal - Dancing game that requires you to also shoot targets crossing Checkpoint Charlie as well as groove to the latest incarnation of Kallinka and Korobeiniki!
Ditch your amiga? The renaissance is coming! No longer will your TV be only for TV channels again! Once more, you can have massive Sensi Soccer tourney's in your front room!
Mine I think was about Europe being an Arctic wasteland or something, and it was quite cool. You had to keep codewords and stuff, and go hunting to find the "Heart of Volent" or something... I ought to dig it out sometime...
Anyone remember interactive books? Yeah, remember those? Like, you were given a decision, turn to 461 for hit him, 421 for run away, 124 for invite him to dinner. They were good... Much better than text games, for a start I don't have to stare at a screen...
Err... Illegal to skip a government document? Well, in the UK, it's completely legal to do whatever with the disc, as long as you don't copy it or alter its contents without permission. We don't have a government warning, and if it weren't for the fact that my DVD player doesn't appear to support enforced viewing (ie/ watching the adverts) then I'd certainly be hacking a PC to play the movie, or at least mashing the keys to work out how to skip the commercial when you put the disc in...
dleob - it's like he's used two hands and mashed one after the other then back again... hence dleob. You require both hands pumping like that to do that.
I was about to ask what file you used to sum, then i realised it has all the alphabet in, and certain next-to-each-other keys that in fact tell me you just mashed your keyboard;)
The pilot was 3 episodes long... 24-3=21. 24-1=23. It even has it on the box, so I'm not making this up. I'm just stating the fact that there are not 22 episodes.. Whether you count the pilot as one episode or the three stated on the box!
The point is, Channel 4 is free. It may have adverts, but it has a standard of decency that other channels don't - live ITV and Sky. If 24 had been on Ch4, I would have watched it. Had it been on Freeview, I would have got that. But Sky, do you really expect me to pay 9billion a second (slightly exaggerated...) to watch it AND have adverts? Sure, Sky Movies doesn't have adverts, but you have to pay EXTRA for movie channels. Sorry, but screw SkyTV, and long like terrestrial TV - digital or good old fashioned analogue!
Sky _Movies_? Ok... Well, in that case BBC might not get it until the Autumn, maybe even next year! They've taken 24 from me, now they're taking stuff I haven't even seen! Maybe it's about time Rupert Murdoch had a taste of his own medicine...
I just bought the original series, all 24 epsidoes (not 22 like the article says!) and I'm loving every minute! Not only do they go through all the normal rigmarole of launching etc, but they deal with problems like humans would, rather than like other programmes would (like suddenly finding the obvious answer, like why not use antiflasmagron drive...) and so it's always been a favourite. Hopefully, when the new series comes to the UK, it's not on Sky(^H^Hhite) and instead either Ch4 or the BBC get it. Here's to the new series being any good!
Look at it this way - we now have a cast iron case for making the Internet core facilties like DNS a non-profit zone, probably nationalising them under the US (I'm a Brit and I'd prefer this to it being corporate) scheme of doing things, or giving control to the UN. Maybe it's about time we saw the US taking up.us domains too... The overwhelming majority of.com's and.net's are in the US, while most UK addresses are in.uk so maybe this new organisational body would eduacte on the benefits of having segregated internet addresses...

Urgo... Had one of the funniest SG1 moments ever...
Try... the paddles!

I would rather play Grand Theft Bicycle: Cambridge, or even better... Grand Theft B52: Vietnam!
Errr. Sim City 2000, 3000...

Notice there are only HEXDEC characters in there (ie 0-9 and A-F) there are not any G-Z chars in there.
Well, I for one welcome our new open source overlords^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfriends.
