Yeah but what if you still have a perfectly working copy of XP around? High-end gamer rigs are usually custom built and therefore not eligible for OEM versions anyway, can as well keep using your old copy to avoid costs and the problems that are plaguing Vista users.
Official comments from Microsoft are that they don't want to kill either market and they have trouble keeping the balance. They know gaming is what secures their monopoly but they also canno neglect the XBox or they might risk someone else killing the PC gaming market off in the US.
TA didn't require more CPU power than was available to consumers. If you have slightly older hardware you're toast, SupCom's framerate hits rock bottom. My PC has pretty much exactly the "recommended" specs but five minutes into the game it's already slowed to a crawl.
Of course you could just play Spring which has much lower CPU demands.
It's possible that that was the reason pork was banned, cannibalistic tribes could claim human meat is pork to evade anti-cannibalism laws so the temple decided to ban pork completely.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was no actual cap and instead they looked at relative bandwidth usage among their customers, if everyone on that plan uses 250 GB and one guy uses almost a TB they'll complain to that one guy but if all of their users do almost a TB they'll either make new infrastructure or think about abolishing the unlimited plan. Could also work in the reverse, they have a certain amount, as long as they don't have many users they don't care about a few heavy users but as they get more users they need to make more "room in their tubes" and try to cut down the heavy users.
Another question would be if they're actually allowed to cut you off (for more than the rest of the month) or if that's just empty threats, since they don't want to mention a limit that sounds the most likely for your specific situation.
Yeah, regarding porn the most you can instill in them is an absurd sense of guilt which I'd consider psychological abuse. Doesn't mean you can't teach them other things though, the poster said there's no way to instill principles into a kid but obviously not all kids learn the hard way that e.g. pissing on the street is a bad idea.
It is forced on them, just with psychological violence instead of physical. Repeatedly telling a child "if you do XY the big man in the sky will punish you for all eternity" will burn that belief into his mind since the child is meant to learn from the adult about the world around it. If the adult teaches a distorted world view the child will accept it since it knows nothing to question it.
Steam using multiple connections would be nonsense, the only reason that gives you more speed is because the server wants to share bandwidth equally between connections and GetRight makes you a greedy asshole who takes up bandwidth for five (no idea why servers aren't set up to limit speed per IP). If everyone tried to take up that much bandwidth they'd all get an equal share which is the same as or less than (because of overhead) before.
Germany's laws differ. I'm not sure about porn but putting indexed games on shelves is pretty much illegal. It may be allowed but noone wants to risk it.
1. The censoring went down as time passed. Try Company of Heroes, it has bloody, severed limbs flying everywhere and its rated 16. 2. Customs doesn't give a shit what games you are importing. Well, unless it's Manhunt or something because that's banned. They don't care about indexed or unrated games though.
It's still a retarded law that's only introduced because they want to look like they're doing something (yeah, bringing back the Reich!) while the laws are already set up to prevent minors from getting violent videogames. All they're doing now is try to get more games forced under counters and into 18+ sections because the authorities doing that part aren't willing to obey every whim of the govt and don't just file a game as 18+ becasue some retarded wannabe Nazi needs to get some more voter support from the soon-to-be-dead.
It's a bit hard to buy such a game because putting them on shelves where minors can see them counts as advertising and many major chains won't carry something they can't put on shelves. Indie game stores will probably work, though as well as rental shops since those have 18+ sections anyway.
I've heard of a stress relief game like that, you're supposed to imagine you're inflicting pain on your boss, tech support or whoever else pissed you off that day.
Of course a cricket bat applied to the real butt will probably deliver more satisfaction.

Company of Heroes has a dependency to the XP kernel. No idea what for, though.

From what I read there's still some driver issues with those DX10 cards under Vista, especially if you play OpenGL games.

Some modders invoked intentional desyncs to create fake radar dots in TA. You cannot desync a server-client model.

But there's the overhead to consider, you'll travel some time to the next passenger no matter how good you solve the TSP.

Naw, just wait until it rains and then call arnie.
It works for some things. I know I did avoid many things others learned through painful experience because I was taught they're bad.

Sounds like a particularly vile fetish.

That and retailers can get lenient with the dates, i.e. start selling a day or two earlier.
Actually it's not the same product, the PAL version comes with two games and an extra controller which were added instead of a price drop.

Or they learned that where there's a will there's a way and all the anti-censorship laws in the world won't stop a dictator from censoring things.

What better marketing is there than saying "you're not allowed to have this"?
It's quite possible that they're just considering it again.
