From personal experience working with a large data warehousing company, the anti-M$ 'attitude' is the norm. As my boss once put it: If it's development, we run Solaris, if it's serving, we run Linux, if it's graphics, we run Mac, and if its the sales guy's laptop, we run Windows."
These old-school guys love their unix. I cant see this happening any time soon.
Since the liberal attitudes of Europeans toward religious tolerance are fading, the Muslim world has a serious problem. Without any friends in the US, Europe, or China, the Muslim world as a whole will be held in even less regard. Muslims of all stripes will become more marginalized, and they will become more violent as a result.
Unless someone comes forward to break the cycle, Muslims are running the risk of making themselves extinct.
This looks to me like a direct result of overprotective political correctness gone awry. The rules were spawned out of the PC movement, and now it comes back to bite the very people who were supposedly victims of discrimination in the first place.
Damned of you do and damned if you dont.
If they taxt these transactions, they might as well start taxing garage sales, flea markets, and lemonade stands.
Oh wait, they already tax lemonade stands...
Disgusting
Am I the only one who feels a bit sad about this?
I never played this game, but when I had to drop out of CoH (new humans will make you do that) , I was depressed for a day or two.
I just dont see the big deal here. Of course, adding the option to cloak your activities would be a good add-in, but it's not like your photo album is visible to anyone else or your merchant account info is public.
This hate-everything-Micorsoft-regardless-of-whether-my -argument-is-valid mentality doesnt illustrate anything except the acrimony of the person expressing it.
My son works in a mom & pop game store and they do terrific business, mainly because they are continuously hosting LAN parties and XBOX Live tournaments. They have a 'Hall of Fame', which seems to draw in the most hardcore gamers from the area. They also serve coffee and snacks, and they provide very cheap (75 cents per hour) internet usage on their machines. Even during off seasons, that place is standing room only.
In short, you have to do more than just sell games...that's why internet stores or Gamestop could never generate the traffic this shop does.
Just another example of why we need stricter trade controls. If a US company is selling technology specifically designed to censor the public or if they provide technical support to achieve such an end, they should be fined, and if the offense continues, dissolved.
Of course there needs to be clearly defined limits on what constitutes such things, but it needs to be done.
Not to sound jingoistic by any means, but 'made in China' and 'quality product' rarely appear in the same paragraph (with the exception of this one...)
That Jimmy-bob sure is good with the computers. He showed me how to get my email from the internets.
He even is certified by Bill Gates himself to work with computers. We are so proud of Jimmy-bob.
The trick or treat 'party' was an amazingly fun break from the usual mission stuff. I actually felt like I was trick-or-treating!
Do you have any plans for Christmas?

Because we are fresh out of glass coke bottles.
Probably the finest analogy I've ever seen on /.

They are clearly overworked, and the Patent Spammers know this. That is why all this crap is getting through.
He said the exact same thing in Johnny Mnemonic. Finally, those academics are listening to reliable information from credible sources.

First Family Guy, Now Futurama. Woot.
Now they need to show reruns of Voyagers, Automan, and Manimal, and see if the resurrection magic strikes thrice (and quatrice?, quince?)
Way to show your keen intellect there, bud.

...and now the uninformed masses will forever call Firefox 'bloatware' Thanks Dell!
Personal Computer? So that's what PC means. Go figure
Oh Noes! Traditional 'Education' is under attack!
God forbid we let business trends and the interests of young people influence the cirricula on college campuses.
Also, and perhaps this is the elitist in me, but it is my experience that a trained baboon can obtain a poly sci degree.

I sure hope they dont use these things in restaurants that serve asparagus.
Yeah. Since when is this news? /signed
Ruby. Ruby on Rails. gooooood stuff.

Wow, they created a clinic for overworked gold and rares farmers? Sweet!
