MS just doesn't get that they just don't get Japan. The Xbox games are all very Western and Japan just doesn't enjoy them. I mean look at where 90% of FPS games come from, then look where 90% of RPGs come from, there is a very clear difference between the two markets and MS need to understand this.
I'm from the UK and I still torrent episodes after watching them on TV. Making avatars requires screencaps, which my TV doesn't do as well as VLC player.
I rather feel hardware is at an end rather than software. It seems we've got to the point where stacking things on top of each other is the only way to keep improving things.
One of the reasons I personally pirate movies is it's easier. I don't have to mess around with anything, I just find a torrent (easy as pie), click 2 buttons and I have it within a couple of hours (on a good torrent under 1 hour). Why ever would I goto the cinema or to a shop to buy something I can get for less effort and money?
It started out as a different game but early in developement they decided to make it a SH game.
Also it doesn't feel out of place, it just feels like a fork in the series. Where instead of the same PSX game with better graphics they tried new shit.
The ironic thing is Japanese bands often do tours of North America and turn up to Animecons. So surely they know there is a market for this sort of thing.
What happens when people learn this is bullshit and go "Nice, but you've just got a bullet in you"? People deal with panic attacks and heat rays can't do much more than make you panic you're about to die.
Secondly, how long until we discover this causes cancer? Microwaving people is obviously really unsafe, so making them feel their about to set alight must be pretty damn shitty on the old body.
Thirdly, this + metal = ?? If it is real heat it's going to REALLY hurt.
I agree with what you've said completely but I'm also sad about it.
Recently I had to dick around with OS and the general fun of things not working. When I was trying to pick which Linux distro to use or to stick with Windows, I came to the conclusion that "Everythings a bitch and has problems". Where as if everyone had stopped being dicks and gone "screw this, lets just make a great OS" together we could have the most amazing thing ever.
If humanity got it's act together we would have our Jetson's world by now, but instead we're too busy focusing on money and pointlessly shit to do it. Which is really a shame.
I've used both Windows and Linux and honestly I think both have a time and a place. Windows advantages and disadvantages would switch with Linux if they were in the opposit position.
The 'only' thing I would say is "Linux is better for basic functions, it's easier to navigate to firefox and you don't have to worry about viruses.' But the average user will never find Linux, so whis is a non-issue.
Did anyone else notice the huge amount of Windows users bashing Apple?
I find it ironic that "Vendor lock-in" and "Trying to take control of your PC" is an argument FOR microsoft against anyone. It's like the kettle went into a coal mine before starting a fight with the pot.
Don't appply unless you're 20 something and remotely good looking. The BBC recently knee capped their tech presents to only pretty people who don't seem to care even remotely about tech.
Not to mention I've seen nothing but Second life all over the news tech wise in months.
"I eat complete shit, but he eats more shit than me, so I'm better!"
If you seriously eat what you listed then not only do you need to develope tastebuds but you also need to learn what good healthy food is. Cheese and chicken, water and noodles isn't good for you. You need a balanced diet where vegetables arn't dried and devoid of flavour.
Do yourself a favour and try cooking a proper meat and two veg meal daily, the crap you're eating is too much junk for anyone to ever be proud of eating.
Yakult did nothing, the other one (I can't recall the name but you listed it. Been up all night you see) worked great and was the only thing to cure my stomach cramps.
I can't touch dairy normally, yet when I took these drinks I could eat or drink anything and be perfectly fine. It was really strange but it did seem to work.

It's the same for all of us, if they don't release it here the same day as else where we torrent it.
It's the media age we're living in.

How the fuck can it be easier on a mac unless this is Linux VS Mac?

None, because it ruins the entire point of maps if you turn them into nothing but billboards.

They stopped the tank controls and started using a more updated system even though it was in SH2 (at least) already?
Wrong.

And with this comment I officially set all funny comments to -5.
There is just a point where Slashdot becomes too pathetic to take.. this is the point. Not only is it racist but it's retarded.

Now give us the figures on how many of these "pirate" copies are users who don't want to buy the same software twice because of bullshit DRM in it.
and that is eactly what I do. :)
:)
There are other quirks but basicly "I'm allergic to dairy"
Erm no.. It's IBS, my body used to deal with lactose fine :)
Yakult did nothing, the other one (I can't recall the name but you listed it. Been up all night you see) worked great and was the only thing to cure my stomach cramps.
I've tasted both and seen the results of one and the zero effect of the other.
And what about problems which arn't caused by bad health? Things like IBS can be helped (even cured) by these things.
But hey, if you'd rather blame people for everything that happens to them go ahead and do so.
I had the same erm.. sucess..
