Actually, the rest of the world tends to hate America because of her arrogance and pomposity, you know, things like the self declared "best country in the world", "king of the hill" stuff, etc.
How about some sort of key pair system? Tech support generates a number, the customer does as well, the combo resets/changes the password kind of thing?
Yup. Just installed Real Alternative last night to watch, er, some "educational" videos I downloaded. It automatically installed the latest version of Media Player Classic, installed all the codecs needed for viewing Real stuff without forcing me to install any version of Real. Haven't tried the browser integration yet, but it offered to install it.
This seems to be the official site for downloading, but I found several faster sites in google.
While some companies do sell directly to customers (in addition to retail channels), such as the EA Store [ea.com], their prices are not particularly competitive.
That's because they're intentionally trying *not* to compete with their distributors. Don't want to piss off your partners.
In order to undercut them, they'd have to be willing to give up the retail channel forever.
IKEA sells a cable tidy kit (I can't find it on their website, although it's shown in some of the catalog photos) containing a hard plastic spiral that goes round cables
I've had one of these in my closet for years. It's called Montera, but a search at Ikea returns a different product. Never got around to installing it, my 20 year old cat doesn't go near cables.
I mean really, what fool shows the prior results while you're voting? All it does is skew the voting. Hell, I passed over numerous categories because I could see my choice had 12 votes, and some recent crap thing I never heard of had 3400 votes.
And as mentioned here already, it's obvious most of the voters weren't even alive when the real quality games were popular.
I complete a game a week or so, mostly adventure games and turn based strategy. As an old fart, I find that I generally look with disdain on the current crop of games. I spend pretty much all my gaming time on older, classic games.
Tommy: What's got him creased?
Kev: It's a diamond
Tommy: The fuckin' thing's brown.
Paul: It's called champagne; it's a trend
Tommy: Oh right, they were calling it "piss", but they weren't moving any units

Sands of Time was already POP 3. They going back in time now?
For a second, I thought you were heading for this one
Almost none of it is due to jealousy.
Bah. Soon you'll be trying to convince me that the film never said "A New Hope" when it was originally released.

If it wasn't turned on until you specifically reported it stolen? Sure, why not?

Try this anime style one:
Looking at those just made me angry again, like I was when it was first cancelled. That would have been one rocking game.
It's just pining for the fjords.
I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but those are basically in the same ballpark as Telus and Shaw, their two competitors.
The last update doesn't sound too promising. "Considerable turnover at VU Games", and "we're regrouping". Al Lowe update
Well, I had bated breath, but still I agree. I haven't bought a game in *years* because they're almost all FPS and MMO crap.
I had two games on my "will buy first day of release list". Sam and Max 2, and Full Throttle 2. And now they've killed them both.
Agreed that I'm looking forward to Fool and his Money.
Eh? The video buffer is a fixed cost, it takes the exact same number of bytes to display the sig in black pixels, or the lack of same in white pixels.
Which is sad. Adventures are still my favourite genre.
Otherwise, you'd have stupidity such as ATM Machine.

Just shocking. Never saw that coming *at all*.
London ain't in Ontario, and Paris ain't in Texas.
Not for me. It shows a *link* to the results if I wish to check them first, not the results themselves.
