I'm talking about Nicorette, there may be other cheaper brands, but I'm not sure.
I thought about buying some just because every now and then I like to enjoy the temporary calming effects of nicotine, but no way in hell I'm gonna pay $40!
Seriously. It was nice and relaxing. The only reason I stopped was because, obviously, it's not that great for you.
But at least something like this makes it so that if you want the effect of nicotine, you don't have to shell out $40 for a pack of nicotine gum.
Yeah, nicotine isn't GOOD for you, but neither is alcohol and people still do that. At least this isn't nearly as bad as inhaling all that tar and smoke!
There will always be a passive effect... you exhale the nicotine, surely someone near you would inhale a part of it, but still, better than cigarettes themselves.
Why, because I told people how to get a free PS2? Shit, you're right! How did I not see that I was single-handedly ruining society? God, I'm dumb!
If you're truly concerned about that, you need to revise what's important to you in life. It's not like I'm telling you to steal money from the crippled children's tray.
As if I have to spell it out for you... people get ripped of all the time. The two items I gave were prime examples of shotty materials that frequently crapped out on people. I don't think you realize how many people they've screwed outta money.
Sony might have a deal as a result of a class action lawsuit to fix broken PS2s, but go ahead and try to get it done. See how long it takes, or better yet, you'd be lucky to get the request through.
If you don't believe in eye for an eye, then fine, that's your choice... but I do believe the consumer should get his every now and then.
I'm sorry you're unable to understand that others may hold a valid opinion that isn't what you agree with! Life is tough, isn't it?
Yep, and you can actually get a free PS2 out of this because they don't require that you send your old one in.
You just need to
1. call in and report the incident to Sony. 2. file a complaint with your state's Attorney General.
When Sony gets the complaint, they will look up your record to see that you did in fact call (and when you call, 99% of the time they'll ask you to send it in and will charge you, just decline).
They will ship your PS2.
Believe it or not, it's that easy... just like with the MS optical mice. You can buy an Intellimouse Explorer and the very next day call them and say it's broken. They'll just up and send ya a new one without question.
Ok, so then we might as well put the same control on video recorders (VHS and otherwise).
It's an issue with Tivo, a box where MOST people can't figure out how to hack in to get the video off, as opposed to something like VHS where you can just record it, pop it out then take it to a friend's house?!
Really? What about Blockbuster and other rental places when the movie is distributed to your local retail store? Don't you think that THEY lose out?
Yes, really. Blockbuster... what about them? We're talking pay-per-view, not video rentals.
How often do you rent the same movie more than once? In any case, Blockbuster is actually losing more money because of new and innovative business modles like that of Netflix than they do to people who copy the movies.
This is probably true. I order the pay per view once. Then, if I enjoyed the movie, I will go out and buy it when it is AVAILABLE
I'm sure ya do! You sound like you've been perfectly trained. Unfortunately, I have no treats to give you. Just some sound advice.
Yeah but... no one loses out on money if you copy it and watch it later.
How many times have you personally ordered the SAME pay per view movie more than once? Unless you're lying, the answer is none.
So really, it doesn't matter. They're clearly just doing this to be assholes and try to further put control on what people can record and keep even though the material in question, along with their profits, is completely irrelevant.
A game CENTERED around gangs and violence and you're saying that the level of language is too disturbing? Hahaha... ok then.
You thinkg gangsters sit around a table and discuss things like, "Oh, that gosh darn Samuel. He's such a pill, that guy!" No, they'll say, "That muthafucka Sammy is a busta, he's gonna get beat the fuck down."
Watch The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood... were you disturbed by their profanity?
I heard the retail version of this game is a dual-layer DVD.
However, the one that was "leaked" last week fits nicely on a plain ol' DVD-R. Odd thing, I've put a ton of hours into it and nothing seems missing. Textures are fine, music sounds great, and all the movies/cutscenes are there.
Does anyone happen to know exactly what the differences are?
(oh wait, I admitted to downloading a game, does that mean the moral crusaders are coming after me to mod me down?!)
Many people have said, "Well, it's a game, and racism, bigotry, etc have played a part in our history, that doesn't mean it's ok to use." For crying out LOUD, the player refuses to trade with women. Oooooh!
If it was something like... a civil war game and the NPC said, "I don't trade with niggers." That's one thing.. but refusing to trade with someone because they're a woman? Not really a big deal.. it's not like the NPC said, "Your place is either on your knees or in the kitchen."
People who worry about this stuff generally aren't worth the hassle. We, as a society, tend to laugh and ignore them. It's like those idiots who complained that Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers should be renamed because of 9/11. Give me a FUCKIN BREAK.
This is the same line of thinking that causes women to say, "Women has 'men' in it, they are oppressive, therefore, we are WOMYN." Yeah, really overkill there and you're just making yourselves look stupid and HURTING the cause you think you're actually fighting for.
But it's Google, therefore, they couldn't POSSIBLY do any wrong, huh?
When this was first posted a few days ago, someone actually made the comment, "What do I care if it bypasses security? I'm the only one in my house using the computer." Yeah, great thinking there.
Yet the same guy would say, if this was Microsoft, "No wonder their shit sucks, they totally bypass all permissions!"
You know what would be a great virus/worm? One that totally fucks up the partitions on your hard drive forcing you to reformat and lose all your data.
Now THAT would be a funny virus. Imagine that getting spread across corporate america... you think it cost a lot to take 3 minutes out of the day to update virus defs and do a scan? Wait till you need to take hours out to reformat and reinstall.
These are what worms/viruses should be. Not this "Hacked by chinese" bullshit.

I used to smoke, and I miss it.

Good improvement!
Actually, that is the reason, but in any case, cut your losses and move on.

FYI - it's obnoxious when people spout off their opinion on morals. If you don't like it, don't do it. Simple as that, really.
I'm sure others reading my post are perfectly capable of making a conscious decision on whether or not to follow through with something.
Now, go back to living your life free of any law breaking or moral imperfections.
Thanks for your opinion.
Now, explain how it's irresponsible? It's not irresponsible to run ATMs on versions of an OS chock full of holes?
Take the morality squad elsewhere.

1. Don't give them money, if you do you're stupid.
2. Let em do what they claim they're gonna do. It won't hurt your company.
Anyone with a brain will be able to realize, "Hey, maybe it isn't them doing this nasty deed."
Do you REALLY think if Best Buy spams some dog sex images that people would think, "Best Buy is sick! What are they doing?!" Nah.
That's like getting those "Arnold Says 'Don't be a girlie man and vote for Bush'" spams and thinking Arnold actually approved it.
C'mon... people know better. Extortion is outdated.
Nah, just proving your stupidity.
So blow me, AC.
Uh... then this obviously isn't the game for you.
A game CENTERED around gangs and violence and you're saying that the level of language is too disturbing? Hahaha... ok then.

Grow up... get real...
hahaha how in the fuck is this a troll?
"what are the differences between the retail and leaked version?"
It's real fucking question you idiots!
I heard the retail version of this game is a dual-layer DVD.
However, the one that was "leaked" last week fits nicely on a plain ol' DVD-R. Odd thing, I've put a ton of hours into it and nothing seems missing. Textures are fine, music sounds great, and all the movies/cutscenes are there.

ooh THE ROCK types IDKFA!!!
... ...
HA HA HA, yeah, it was posted 4832984 times before this post and each are marked funny. IT'S FUNNY, PEOPLE.
We can't hear this one enough, can we?!
"Hey, The Rock!"
"IDKFA?!"
"Yes."
*insert joke about flashlight*
IDKFA!!! HA HA HA.
You're an idiot.
Why do women fake orgasms? ...because they think men care.
Best non-PC joke ever!

Weee little hypocrites.
These viruses/worms don't do a damn thing.

Yeah, because Microsoft's IE ad campaign is that of a monster these days...
You people are inconsistent little hypocrites.
If Microsoft pulled this shit, you'd be all pissy, but because it's google, you say, "it's okay, I don't have strangers around my house anyway."
Mmm.. yeah, security is security, and coming from google, it shouldn't ignore or bypass a damn thing.
Ooh, retarded slashdot mods strike again!
