Yes, this might encourage people to use their car to judge wether they're fit to drive instead of their own judgement. However, if one is drunk enough to do that, the car probably won't start anyway. So unless the drunk-detector breaks, there's no problem, right?
A delayed Zelda game is good eventually, a rushed one will suck forever. Just look at Ocarina of Time vs. Wind Waker. See my point? Okay, Wind Waker doesn't really suck, but there was so much wasted potential there, it makes me sad.
So, do you think invisible pink unicorns exist? If you say no, you are no better than your alledged "believers". You say they don't exist, but you can't prove that they don't.
You should check out this site. It's almost exactly what you describe. You can also download the stuff in non-DRM format in decent quality (128 kbps) without paying anything.
Check out this site. It's a nice place to find good music. You can listen as much as you want for free, and if you want, you can buy it. You decide the price yourself, and 50% goes directly to the musicians. Try it out, there really is some good music there.
I don't know exactly how mp3tunes.com is going to work, but it looks interesting.
Sorry, that would make too much sense. People might actually get accustomed to paying for movies on the internet. There's even a chance there would be less pirating! So I don't think this will happen. We all know MPAA hates money. I mean, if they didn't, they would have done this already, right? Right?
Yeah, but that argument is flawed. Here's another example:
Q: Can god make an object of any shape?
A: Yes.
Q: Can he make a square triangle?
A: Yes, er.. Ummm. Nevermind...

The problem is just that the lawsuits will never finish. Seriously. It has been going on for this long, and it'll just go on and on and on. No matter how feeble the case is, SCO will delay it again and again for as long as they can, and with the current legal system, it seems that time will be close to infinite.
Really, if you're not having this problem with the game, why do you need to whine about the fact that others whine about it? From what you've written, I don't even think you've bought the game at all. Just ignore the story and move on.
If I see a story I'm not interested in, I don't go and whine about it. I just ignore it.
Well, just because the story isn't spoon-fed to the player during the game doesn't mean it isn't there. I'm not saying Half-Life 1 has a great story, but it's not only mindless action either (just mostly).
In Half-Life 2, it's pretty much the same, although the scripted sequences are far suprerior to the ones in Half-Life 1. The backstory is there, even though no one tells you "The combine attacked Earth after the Black Mesa incident, had a 7-hour war with Earth before we surrendered and Dr. Breen was appointed Administrator of Earth." You can actually piece the story together from various bits here and there. Yeah, I would have apreciated if someone would have said "Wait a minute, you have NO CLUE what's going on, who the Combine are and what the hell are those metallic teeth that are eating the city? Let me fill you in...".
I guess my point is that it is possible to tell a story without using words.

That is genius. I salute you, sir!

He also forgot One, Two, Three, Four, Five...
You get the picture.

Sure, we can get ALL the dead TV shows.
Starting tomorrow...
Ikaruga is out on the Gamecube. You lose!

Noooo! You quoted it wrong. It is "A wonderful, magical animal.".
I wonder how long before the world becomes populated by giant walking penises and ridiculusly proportioned "ass monkeys"... *evil grin*
So they did eventually fix the stutter bug? Hmm, maybe I could play the game (again) now...
One-button "SFCave" beats that.
Play it here (Java required)
I just got 2199, see if you can beat that...
Try these direct links:

Ugh, I feel stupid now. I should have known someone else had already posted this. Oh well.
You might have to wait a long time for Cedega support. The game will only be released on the consoles (PS2, Xbox, GameCube).

a 1998 court ruling broadened the definition of a patent to include business methods
Someone should just patent the "business method" of suing over patents, and then sue them!
This "girlfriend" thing you speak of.... I do not know it. Is there a wikipedia entry on it?
Yes.
Whoa, that sounds like a pretty crappy friend. You should have kicked his ass.

Whoa... it really DOES work! I tried it out, and it worked. That's very neat. :)
