sigh, yet more FUD.
Its just SOME special features that won't work on older players, its not as if the main movie won't play. Yes the profile thing is lame but it's not going to mean your left with a dead player.
Your dissertation being destroyed?
If you don't have multiple backups of such an important piece of work(to you) in the first place, your just as retarded as the dev's who caused EvE's problem.
oh give it a rest, The Internet is just as useful for doing non work related stuff and students in there own time shouldn't be forced to suffer, especially when the uni advertises themselves has having fast Internet connections in halls when its really just a lie. Students who enjoy online gaming may pick a location to live based on having decent Internet, just the same as someone who enjoys any other hobby will take it into account when picking somewhere to live. And no, Students are allowed to have some free time other than being forced to work 24/7.
The uni should buy in extra bandwidth or stop advertising as such.
Also, get over using that "Deal with it and go outside" crap, Its so cliche its not funny. Accept that different people enjoy different pastimes and interests and move on. Not everything thinks uni is about going down random pubs and getting hammered with people you couldn't give a shit about.
They don't want to be forced to go outside just because some asshat decided it'd be fun to turn off the Internet connection because he thought they shouldn't sit inside all day.
I think one of the worst things I've heard from tech support was when a friend said his ISP was acting up, so he rang there support line. After a while he got through and explained the problem
The reply was along the lines of "Yes, we're under attack!, can you help us?..."
My friend then hung up.
In my personal experience with tech lines, all they seem to know is "Please insert the restore disk that came with your pc" I swer it would be far easier just stick a recorded message at the end of the line telling users to do that, because its a waste of time trying to get any other help
