This is the start of somthing bad. As a British parlament member said few days ago, The weakening of the United Nations and the European Union are huge casualties to have before a bullet has been fired. This is a perfect example of why everyone hates the US. We are arrogant and feel the rules dont apply to us.
Whether it is our fault or not, we will be paying for it. You can't expect the ISP to just pay the costs when they could charge their customers instead.
why havent other companies implemented these into their high-end cameras? I would think somebody would first use these before kodak, I've always seen them as being a little slow on the digital camera technology...
Im not saying there shouldn't be laws against pirating, just that shutting down websites like ISOnews isn't the solution. They should be going after groups of people distributing large quantities of illegaly copied games and gettting to the source of piracy, which ISOnews definetly is not. Besides, if game companies are so pissed off about piracy, they should consider adopting proprietary media like Nintendo has with their gamecube discs. Nintendo has succesfully prevented anyone from pirating their console games even after the system has been out for over a year.
People will always mod their systems. People want to play import games that they would otherwise not be able to play. People want to watch divx movies on their Xboxes. and BELIEVE IT OR NOT, some of us do want to legitimately back up the games we purchased. PS2 discs do scratch easily, little brothers arent always careful with that shiny new $50 piece of plastic. Oh, by the way, shutting down websites will not stop piracy.
It's not like they were offering game ISOs for download, there just providing information. If it is being shut down because it can help people commit illegal acts then the government has alot of work to do, seeing that i have found enough information in my school library to create different forms of cocaine, and how each is to be used. I guess the government now just selects what they want the first ammendment to apply to without going to the supreme court, not like that's an important part of the process or anything.
What If It Does Get Hit By A Worm Like Slammer? I'd have UT2003 withdrawls like a crackhead in rehab. Hurry up and patch it! But seriously, a hole thats been open for 5 years and just now been discovered and working on patching? C'mon Epic your not microsoft.
Always Picking Favorites:( . But what a lucky friend getting to look at a million and twenty thousand compared to his friends measly million.
But anyways, I sure hope this doesnt seriously degrade anyones view of google....that would be kinda sad
AMD better get there act together and get the Athlon 64 out in september or sooner. Intel is just kicking there ars right now and AMD has nothing to compete with that 3.06 ghz with multi-threading and whatnot. Dont get me wrong i dislike intel but unless AMD's next big thing is BIG, then they could be in for some trouble
