  1. Re:Crappy Summary on Some Users Say Win7 Wants To Remove iTunes, Google Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Have you tried running it in compatibility mode Windows XP SP3?

    All the major studios including CCP have their software working in Windows 7 without compatibility mode.

  2. Re:Bullet Meets Foot..... on No Dedicated Servers For CoD: Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    I remember getting into an argument with someone who is in the Gaming Industry about the issues for developing for PCs. He argued why should developers try to make games for the PC when they can just make it for the console and don't have to worry about the hardware being inconsistent, piracy issues, and the customer has to keep up with the latest games thus costing him $2,000 USD (he cited Crysis).

    I countered his argument stating that Crysis is not the benchmark of PC gaming it is actually not the best game package to be released that year (Orange box was) and there will be more people continuing to play Orange box on all kinds of hardware. If developers/industry have this kind of mindset when it comes to the complete life cycle of their games I get the impression they just want their games to sell great for one month while developing a terrible reputation for making "bad games".

    The fact that the customers' love for a company not being factored into the bottom line is mind boggling. Not caring about your customers worked all the time in the 90s. However, with all the social networks you can't even post a slightly revealing picture(Meghan McCain), a private comment accidentally posted public(Facebook fiance), removing LAN play from Starcraft2(Blizzard/Activision) without it not being talked about all over the world.

    If your customers HATE YOU, who will buy from you?

    Why is it the government want to take money when it's shuffled around?

    The problem lies in job creation. There should be no incentives for businesses to create more jobs overseas compared to creating jobs in the US.

    You know TurboTax (or any other Tax software) can help you with your filing at that level. It's only an investment of $79-$150 yet it saves you a lot of time in filing if you don't have time or money to deal with an accountant.

    This bill is unneeded, and a very liberal interpretation would leave this way more invasive than the patriot act is. Private property, private information, private networks are important. Personal liberty depends on it.

    So you would like your bank account information stolen because your Bank didn't perform updates on a regular basis or had terrible polices when it comes to managing information security?
