How much profit does a game publisher make after the bils are paid? $6-8 maybe. So why would they not put ads into games to make more money and keep their biz profitable. If I can make a couple of bucks from each player a day that wants to play online instead of just the static sale of the game, why would I not want to do that? Kind of makes makes sense doesn't it? For all you idiots who are screaming bloody murder, it's very obvious that you;ve never played any games that had the Massive code in them. If you had you wouldn't be crying like a bunch of little bitches. If you don't believe me, then go to the site and watch the demos. Now STFU.
What a bunch of intellectual whiny babies you are Slashdot! Why don't you band together and come up with a Slashdot OS instead of ACTING like a bunch of sidelined second stringers that lack the skills to put forth a real contribution? Surely this community of bright people can come up with something better than Vista or Service Pack 1 rather than bitching about Microsoft all day. The future of Slashdot reaks of inaction and hot air with no substance.
The homeless and crime don't yield a profit nor can the government tax them. But TV's on the other hand can. Think about it. Where do funds for political campaigns come from? How do elected officials and those trying to get elected communicate with the masses?
Make perfect sense for them to provide this service to us. How else will we get info on what to buy and where to buy it so that we can be nickel'd and dime'd by all the different powers that be?

I thought I made it clear that 30 year old planes with replacement parts worried me. Did youy miss the memo?
Here's another thought as well. A great many pilots end up as foward air observers for the infantry battlions they support. They shit, shower, shave with the grunts for 18 months and then go back to air wings. I've never seen an Air Force pilot do that. Maybe they do that with the Army but someone would have to chime in and sayso. So I stand by my original statement.
The A-10's are kewl but I'll take a F-18 or Harrier Jumpjet (my personal favorite.
Obviously you've never seen an F-18 dive bomb a target or strafe a position. Also note that the the F/A-18 does not need to carry as much ordinance as an A-6 because of the current avionics,targeting and weapons systems that link to satilites. And lets not talk about the smart bombs, air to air - air to ground missle advancements that make it possible to drop less ordinance.
I'm sorry to say but as a former Marine infantryman, I would trust the Hornet any day of the week and twice on tuesday instead of a couple of 30 year old planes full of replacement parts.
Microsoft was not dumb. There are plenty of people with XBOX 1 machines that are already networked at their houses. Just plug it into the hub next to the TV...
American television networks are made by and for white people in this country because they are the majority or Americans and by the way, the other 11 remaining months out of the year are white history months since black history isn't included. Does this post sound as stupid as yours?
I am not a racist either but you know and I know that stereotypes exist and are believed by everyone in the United States regardless of whether or not you are a racist. Your post proves this when you suggest that the statement above would not go over well without a protest. Does that mean all black people protest anything that isn't agreeable to their own causes?
Go ahead and mod me down. The truth hurts - but it hurts more if you're a moderator.
Oh I see. No score for the right conclusion that maybe bitter talk and hatred towards MS is destructive and a waste of time rather than coming up with real solutions to the impending doom of Vista. You moderators suck.
Thank you for pointing out the truth. There's nothing wrong with XP for the average Joe Blow that isn't retarded and protects himself on the internet by staying updated and running a firewall/antifirus/antimalware. Just look at my case - my XP machines at home (three of them) have never been compromised because I don't do stupid things over the internet.
Vista is coming and you can't stop it. You can't stop the Microsoft machine. To try is pointless and as futile as trying to stop rain. I don't like it anymore than you do. But it would be better to start reading up on it and focusing discussions on how to deal with it when it comes. You're going to be installing it and using it at work anyway.
...when I've been locked in or out so many times by their proprietary products...hmmmm...yeah....I won't be adding a cent to the $600,000,000 Sony plans to generate off those units.

Did you expect anything less? Speak your mind about topics that mods don't like and they cast you out into eternal troll hell.

If they stop manufacturing TV's that aren't HD then everyone would be forced to upgrade. Imagine that.

Are You living in a hole or something? Haven't you at least test driven a XBOX 360? It's not buggy and neither are the dev kits.
