maybe SOME people don't like haveing to be connceted to the net to play a simple fuckign game just for the sole reason the publisher and developer can "feel safe"
Also theres not way to assure that you'll beble ot play it in 10 years, and yes some poeple DO NOT have internet because of where they live.
And then theres the whoal possiblity that can track u with your CD-key that many won't like.
There are plenty of reasons and i for one will not be buying the game bceause of the activation. if i need/want to play it i'll just download it, less hassle that way and i know it WILL work.
well what gets me is how the hell od they prove it?
i mean there are only so many ways to do something, and so many MANY ways to figure out exactly what something is doing and then write your own implementation.
read code, copy (not cut n paste, read their code and then write your version), delete. How on earth could it be proven beyond any doubt?
Not that i'm advocateing this or anything i just don't see how it can be proven.
and as a side note, has there ever been any court cases where it has been proven??
Hmm thats a good point, theres so few GOOD games for the X-box that fact this one is comming out makes a mad rush for it.
Now with the PS2 there are plenty of great games so theres no rush for any when a new one comes out.
ahah!

1) with a high sensitvity this is never a problem. and its never caused a problem for me in any of the much faster paced UT2004 multiplay games i've played.
2) wtf?! with a keyboard you have something like 100 keys. And if you use wasd you have 25 keys within easy reach. Not ot mention the various combos you can have.
3) Buy a high qual mouse. And even cheap mice are really good, at least optical ones.
4) Learn about computers, a keyboard can return upto about 5 key presses at once. That problem is the texteditor only recive the key the OS is decideing to repeat, the last key pressed.
If you palyed a FPS on a computer, and i'm sure you never have bceause you would know that and more. a DJC is a poor excuse for a KBM setup by far.

You never do because you have a high sensitivty. i have NEVER found haveing to move or lift up the mosu a problem before.
Also with a mouse youc an turn fast or slow. Not just "left".
I hate being asked if i need help. Rarely if ever do i need help in a large box store. If i am going to be buying something and i have questions i got to a smaller specialty store where i'll get the right answers.
And if i need help and theres no one around to ask i go and track someone down. Its not exactly hard to do.
wallmart is the BIGGEST and LARGEST company in the world.
Microsoft is something like 80th last time i looked.
And yes if wallmart stopped selling anything to do with microsoft they would be hurting. instead of an X-box mothers would be going for PS2 or gamecube for their kid for chirstmas. Clueless people comming in to buy a PC would end up getting linux instead of windows.
software raid. windows software raid probaly sucks linux software always has the chance to be borken in an update or cfg file change/curruption or what not
hardware raid the software on the card never changes, if it works it will always work (for the most part you hope) 8 drivers now appear as one, simple setup under any OS and what everyone seems to be missing, is you can dual boot with it and not have a linux only drive.

what printers do you use?
probaly because everyone knows its exactly what MS will say?
EAC+lame/ogg/FLAC/whatever would do a better job ;)

i was just commenting on it and the other reply unlike yours did a better job on explaining it.
hm AIDE is pretty old, almost a year with no updates..
ha ha.
That game was damn easy on the middle setting, i think i only died once.
no, but it is a good justifer for how much money you pay.
a 5 hour game no matter how good isn't relaly worth 70$
No one remembers good ol duke 3d anymore:(
such a good game shame more people didn't play it.

Doesn't sound to harsh, it just makes to much sense and when it comes to goverment it can't make sense!!
a good one won't be tagged as much as a bad one.
and even if it is just tell them he can come back and do a new one ever so often to coverup the tags.

more modest:P
i've had maxtor drives just about to fail, but i switched to seagate before they did. fried a MB once, but thats baout it, guess i've been lucky
and from what i hear 3ware will send out a replacement and the newer cards reconize the older ones.
thats what raid 50 is for:)

seems plenty fast to me, guess they fixed the problems, at elast enough to be at the top:)
with software raid its stuck in a OS spec format...
from what i hear 3ware has good customer support. SO it seems do your research and find a company you can depend on
software raid.
windows software raid probaly sucks
linux software always has the chance to be borken in an update or cfg file change/curruption or what not
hardware raid
