Yet more proof that DRM is a rip-off.
I buy CDs. That way I can have DRM-free ultra-high quality audio files that will be useable for the rest of my life...
Yes mine gets worse towards city 17 as well. I also get a lot more graphical glitches towards the end of the game (strings and triangles of yellow)
I thought it was just my PC... Oh well... Its a brand new game- It'll all be solved in the next update I hope. Prolly drivers need to be updated too.
Romania had a department of Homeland Security... they called it the Securitate. They controlled 'free speech', security, pretty much everything after a while. And Who did they answer to? Only George Bush... ooops sorry Nicolae Ceausescu...
Interesting post. I totally agree with you. However I'm surprised that the same attitude is not prevalent in the west...
"honesty and hard work doesn't pay"
"worked hard all his life and then overnight almost all our savings have turned into nothing and he lost his job"
" those who bribe, cheat and lie will always get ahead"
Those things are true over here- we just have better propaganda.
Any ads which annoy me result in my boycotting the product. Vote with your wallets on these kind of issues... if you don't like the way a company does things, don't buy their products. Why should I pay to watch advertisements?
I used to be a customer of these people. Now I don't see any reason to buy any of their products- it's just funding terror tactics against normal people.
Under what UK laws are the planning to sue file-sharers? And how are they planning to prove their casee in a court of law?
At the end of the day they are going for the massive file sharers, 1,000,000 songs etc... It's just a terror tactic to frighten their own consumers into buying their sub-standard products.
My mp3 collection is all ripped- straight from my cds! I have no need for Britney Spears and the like.
I have a big problem with Mr Bummer's arguments:
Most people know sod all about computers and limit themselves to Amazon, AOL and maybe if they are feeling adventurous google.
Everyone I know who has an IPOD has put all their CDs onto it. I Don't know anyone who is willing to buy music on the net except for CDs by mail order. Why pay for a file? At least with the CD you get a tangible thing.
In view of the current permanent state of hightened security and the eternal war against terrorism, henceforth all government employees will cast votes for the current reigning president. All yay votes will be cast automatically via email. Any argument of this new practise will be regarded as high treason and is to be reported to your nearest Republican representative.
Thank you for your cooperation. Heil Bush!
The word terrorist is ludicrous anyway. It's just a point of view. Palestinian freedom fighters struggling against the terrorist Israeli regime. Personally I believe that Israel as a state has terrorised and surpressed the Palestinian people.
Terrorism- terrorists... These are politically motivated catch-alls, fear generating expressions to terrorise the sheep into voting for you. Calling someone a terrorist is the intellectual equivalent of calling someone a poopie-head.
My company paid crap, piled on the workloads and made a lot of empty promises. My perk was being driven out by making my life intolerable.
The only perks I would like to see is to actually get treated likea human being for a change!
These peole who complain abot such removal of civil liberties are just no-good communist terrorist pinkos, who should be shipped to Guatanamo Bay for torture and reeducation immediately!
Lets all get ready for the next big push- to get Newspeak officialized through parlementation by our great fuhrer G Dubya Busch!
So am I going to get billed for looking out of the window?
It strikes me as a bit strange considering weather reports are used in so many potentially life-saving situations...

I think that someone would set up a counter-offensive- the anti-RIAA screensaver... Very dangerous game to start playing....
It would be great to have a system like this for farts... Maybe in Singapore...

This will bring a whole new meaning to friendly fire... *think it over- creep*

You're a genius... hope you don't mind but I'm going to put your comment on my live journal (nick karl_in_neon) Thanks for making me laugh (and cry)

What do you think pays for the brainwashing? Plus I think every CD sold contributes to Mariah and P Diddy's entourage costs....

Why would anyone downgrade from Linus to Windows? Sounds like a load of bull to me!
Excellent- another place not to buy music from!!!

I havent got a problem with carrying ID. I have got a problem with it being requested without due cause though. I'd prefer they get rid of the guns.
...iceberg tip of the... I had to do a complete wipe and reinstall after sp2. It conflicted with windowblinds or kerio and completely froze the PC...
