They also charge you to buy the game IN THE STORE! As if they weren't bending you over with the monthly subscription fee, they make you pay for a game that you can even use without shelling out MORE money.
Either you pay for it at the store, and have no subscription, or you give the game away for free (use bittorrent or p2p to help with bandwidth) and charge a subscription, but not both. That's what's keeping from picking up any of the MMORPGs.
This soft-core porn you speak of, where can it be found? Because it certainly isn't on any of the 70 channels I get...well, except maybe the Spanish channels, but I can't understand what the hell they're saying most of the time.
Has the DMCA really influenced anyone in doing what they want with their own property? I can do whatever I want with my software. I don't buy a license to use a game, a buy a copy of the game that is then mine to use/copy/destroy/modify as I wish.
I don't care how scientific it is, if a majority of all the potential employees won't have any experience with it how could it work?
Microsoft is severely threatened and it knows it. Pay no attention to it and it will eventually go away.
That's just the kind of attitude that MS needs you to take. Your open source OS is nothing more than a "neat trick" at present. If the people making OSS would start making it with usability in mind, and keeping the end user far, far away from the "under the hood" part of the OS then you wouldn't scare so many people away.
MS knows what they are doing, and it's no accident that most people use windows, because they made an OS that most people will be able to understand. From install to use you never have to touch one command prompt, Windows recognizes most devices automatically, and Windows update is as easy to use as the rest of the OS. That's what Linux needs to focus on.
And now do you see why they are trying to make p2p illegal by calling it all "piracy"? They have there eyes set on the internet, if it wasn't for the fact that a large percent of people on the internet actually give a damn about keeping it free (as in freedom) then they would have already taken it too.
The maximum survivable breathing air temperature for humans is around 140-145 right? So at 130+ I think most people would be more or less paralyzed with pain and discomfort. How the hell could you do anything, much less a stressful, physically taxing exercise like war in heat like that? It just seems impossible. It’s not that I doubt that it is done, but it just doesn't seem to be within the limits of the human body.
Activation has done little to reduce piracy, so the cost probably wouldn't come down even if MS was passing the savings on to consumers (and they're not).

Of course not, you use PI-in-ONE oil. Or maybe anchovies oil, harvested from genetically altered 3rd world children.
He doesn't look like this does he?
Ha, their site must be hosted on a gameboy adv...what the...it's still up?
Is this real? If so jd0gg7@yahoo.com
but if this is fake, spam that add. all you want I don't use it.
Then what does that say about the XBOX?
Um...bullshit? Right now there isn't that big of a market for online play on consoles. And it's certainly the last thing I want in a game console.
Now in the world of PC gaming, it is a must.

Stick with NAV 2002 or less, you can still get the latest definitions without all the added crap.
You'd be surprised how many people don't even know that's an option. Remember these people are using AOL, they think it IS the internet.
Those chairs are horrible.
those of you that are capable of rational thought, slap a little sense into your poor rationaly challenged countrymen
We're trying, but it's a tough job for the 7 of us.

That's alright, all those clueless users are still using AOL, and think it IS the internet.
Where is Qbasic?

I watched that at a friend’s house and it made no fucking sense to me, not one bit.
HA, HA, HA, HA...strudel...
I got the reference, but what does it have to do with "Firefox"?

It wasn't ok with me either. But I still need to use windows for various reasons, and the upgrade was free from work.
There are ways of avoiding activation you know, while still using the product. Or is it that you're not upgrading out of protest to activation?
