Copyright law as it is in America today is invalid. It has long been devoid of any useful purpose. Corporate powers like Disney lobbied to mutate and pervert copyright law into the abomination that it is today.
Decentralized filesharing has finally given the people (you know, the same people that copyright is supposed to serve the best interest of?) a chance to strike back at an outdated and corrupt system, and there are a lot of people who are scared about that. You can't make it go away with laws, and you can't just outlaw all technology that could possibly be used to "Infringe on copyrights". Where does it end if you did? VCR's CD/DVD burners, tape recorders, PEN AND PAPER, all have the capacity to infringe on copyright. It has to end now. Nothing short of a complete re-working of copyright law, with the spirit of the original idea will be enough.
How many Microsoft updates have measurably improved the day-to-day performance of your computer
That's beside the point. How many Mac "updates" were worth the price you paid for them? At least MS makes upgrades free.
Want to play games? Buy a PC. Want to do work with your computer, instead of working on your computer? Buy a Mac
I said, "It does many things better than the PC, like photo and video editing, but that's about it." I agree with you that Macs do things better, like REAL work, and photo and video editing. But gaming is not their strong point, and it's stupid to try and argue that it is.
I just got SP2 for free, what was the last free (major) upgrade apple provided?
And lets look at the game argument a different way. How many PC exclusive games are there? Lots right? But how many exclusively mac games are there? Drawing a blank? Yeah me too. Don't try and make the Mac out to be something it's not. It is NOT a gaming platform, and never will be under the current leader ship. It does many things better than the PC, like photo and video editing, but that's about it.
You wouldn't happen to be a Mormon Republican from Utah would you?
You can't possibly be in favor of something as Draconian and backwards as the "INDUCE" act? No one here is that backwards and idiotic to think that something like that would either 1) Pass into law and 2) Be enforceable.
If you really don't plan on upgrading, don't bother buying it. It's your graphics card, but for less than 150$ you could get a decent card that can play D3 well.
Interesting, because my system is close to yours in power:
AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 512MB RAM GeForce4 Ti4600
And it runs smoooooth on medium setting, and looks awesome, better than anything else I've ever played.
I agree that it is dark, but I think that's just to add to the horror of the game. In most parts of the game, the use of dark spots, light, and shadows, really adds a level of creepiness that you just don't see in any other game. They really pulled off the lighting well in this.

No, I think we both lose for continuing on with this for so long. Let's just agree to disagree.

Most /. readers are off sex FOR LIFE. Not by choice, that's just how it worked out.
Plus, seeing two girls go at it is super hot!
That's episode 2ACV11 - How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back. I loved that musical number they did at the end.
That's why I used the qualifier "major". I could call an Outlook hotfix an "OS update" but that doesn't make it one.

Fscking openoffice screwed up the spell check again.

Looks like an Apple fanboy had mod points.

Oh cool, will it run on my machine with an AMD processor? Oh? It wont? Well then maybe you need to STFU.
What kind of idiot script kiddie makes there trojan run a process called "Warez File Server"?
zooooooooooommmmm!
There went the point! Sorry you missed it!
Did you use "give all" in the console at the start? That would give you the sould cube.
Funny? He wasn't being funny, it's insightful. The Linux version scheme is no better than the what MS uses, oh my bad, I mean M$.
You wouldn't happen to be an Atheist like me would you? BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONS
I like this one,
"... I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." -- Genesis 32:30
"No man hath seen God at any time..."-- John 1:18
No, because Pokémon had reply value =)

Use this handy-dandy slashdot pirate test. Tally your score, below, a score of 75 or higher means ye be a pirate!
[] I own a parrot, and it has been known to rest on my shoulder. 25 points
[] I own a boat, and use it to facilitate robbery and murder on the high seas. 25 points
[] I am known to use the words or expressions "Argh!" "Avast" and or "Have at ye!" 25 points
[] I have 1 or more "pegged legs". 25 points
So are you a pirate?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. We have the two different words because they are two different things, and one does not equal the other.
Copyright Infringement does not equal Theft, and there is nothing that you can say or do to change that.
Tell me the name of the crime someone would be charged with if they were caught downloading/spreading illegal copies of Doom3.
I'll give you a hint, it's not "theft" and starts with a "C".
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
512MB RAM
GeForce4 Ti4600
Is what I have, so if you have similar components, or better you should be fine. It runs VERY nice on my computer, and looks excellent too.

I think it's time we retire it for benchmarking, and start using Doom3.
