    Seems a little odd they would attack her puter. Feels more like they were little babies because they didnt agree with her on some subjects so they hurt the only thing they could. School playground antics from grown ups, awesome.

    Cars dont change that much, Operating systems, hardware, and the speed at which they process data do. You do this, they will start making games "OEM". Install on one system only, and only the one they support.

    Blizzard paid for this early by letting their customers know, "its done when its done" and then backing it up with a near perfect release. The business philosophy of "build a customer base and then reap the rewards" is rare to see these days.
    EA has constantly and consistantly developed a stance of "Tough Shit", and has reaped the rewards off the backs of good game developers by purchasing them and selling off their good name until it is no longer profitable. DICE comes to mind in this area.

    I no longer work for them, I feel the same way you do. It comes down to costs for businesses. They will gladly look the other way because one can claim many things to get out of being responsible. Especially if the third party company signs contracts that state they will take responsibility.

    America's government is pretty much 100% in support of the policies of the Chinese government. The United States of America is being bankrolled by China, we borrow money from them even though it is really our money that we used to purchase items from there that used to be made in the USA, thus making the USA in support of communism and leaking money to our supposed enemy. That is why America gives their country over 300 billion dollars a year, to pay back the loans.

    Surely we wouldn't borrow from them and support their economy through trade if we opposed them??? Right???

    Fixed that for you.

    I know of at least one "medical billing company" that handles our medical billing on warezed equipment. They admitted to me they do it. So here you have a company that is outsourcing its Medical Billing skills using warezed OSes that are probably compromised.

    Keep in mind that medical billing contains a patients data(SSN, Home address/phone, etc.) for billing purposes.
    How does that make you feel?

  12. Im torn on Microsoft Fined In India For Using "Money Power" Against Pirates · · Score: 1

    Im torn here. I like the fact that Microsoft or any other company can not overpower a citizen with their wealth like they can here in the USA. RIAA has shown how one can be destroyed regardless of guilt. However, I know for a fact that companies in India warez their Microsoft products. This leads to an unfair advantage to these companies as Microsoft dollars can add up pretty quickly and companies that do obey the licensing laws are subject to higher prices when they charge for their services.
    I am glad that Microsoft is finally going after companies in India and other foreign countries that companies here in the USA compete with. Perhaps this will help a bit in leveling the playing field. Good luck to MS in this endeavor.

    Let me guess, you are a creationist. Your comparison is fallacious.
    This relates more, in my opinion to an ant colony and is not surprising in the least. Our body communicates via chemicals as well, so why should bacteria be any different?
    Sophisticated, maybe not but given options and executing a plan then switching if that plan fails? Well, that is the essence of evolution.

    Here is the scenario Microsoft is working on. People will buy their software online, retailers will offer it as well but MS will make them charge more than online citing "expense reduction" due to not having to make physical items. Microsoft will have your information, requiring you to put in your information including job info. They will also scan the web using their search engine to find out if you are "influential" and then based on that sell you the product at an increasingly lower cost. They will be able to do this because they will control the price of all their products and only offer online software via their site. Now do you think it will work? Its possible.
