Yea, the XP bit really matters. It makes the difference between it sorta working (you might get 3d working with a glide wrapper) and blowing up horribly.
Well, if the original FO3 was an indication, it shouldn't be bad. They made shitloads of cash, despite the fact that only the frontend launcher was protected... and using it wasn't mandatory.
The DLC also was unprotected. Sure, you (or someone else...) needed to use Games for Windows Live to purchase and download... but some digging in your user profile will find you the data files. You can simply copy those directly into the game's data directory, and you now don't even need to sign into Live to access them!
In fact, this is -required- for use of things like "fose" - which is kind of like a trainer except that it extends the game's scripting engine (and is used by any mod of decent complexity/elegance - see FO3: Wanderer's Edition for instance.
If you have a burning, nagging need for it, that's addiction.
If you simply get ill when you don't take it, that's dependency. They aren't necessarily intrinsic to each other, but that tends to be the case with most examples people are familiar with...
4GB RAM, NVidia 9800 GTX+, 3.0GHz Phenom II X4 (4x core)... and this system beats the shit out of SC2. Everything I can enable enabled, and it happily sits at my vsync cap.... you might want to troubleshoot your machine some more.
Something like sleeping for 10 hours, trying to get yourself to do something... finally giving up and just going back to sleep for 6 hours?... maybe I should do something about this.

I'd hack mine to play the "meatspin" loop.
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby....
You know, my eyes skipped right over that and my brain parsed it correctly. I didn't even notice until you opened your mouth.
Gee, it works. It conveyed the idea it was supposed to. Deal with it.
FB makes it a whole lot easier to massively fuck that up.
Before, you had to get unlucky.
Hmm. Interesting that, unless you use a glide wrapper (or somehow have a Voodoo) Iwar doesn't use the graphics hardware at all....

Yea, except when you want to play real classics like Independence War, or Myst.
Good luck with that.
(it's still a great service, but their 100% compatibility statement is garbage)

A better solution would be to find things to take up the time you'd normally pass with your passtime.

Fortunately for me, there's an excellent shooting range only 3 miles away.
Proving to myself that I'm a pretty decent shot is helpful :)

DVDDecryptor is your friend.
Stip all that garbage (and CSS while your at it) out and burn a copy for regular use. Keep the original somewhere safe.
No more headaches, no more rebuying Jr's favorite show.
Burning heretics at the... steak house?
Medium or Medium-Rare?
Can I get grilled onions and mushrooms with mine?
Yes, EXACTLY like that.
Teach those fuckers to pay attention. If they didn't see the speedbump in time enough to slow down (or at all) they deserve the damage.
Gee, this sounds a lot like Christianity several hundred years ago...
I'll be rude and pessimistic here, but it sounds a lot like Darwin needs to flex his muscles over your drivers...
The police had no radio?
Getting radios to the police might be a more effective use of your money. I don't think they are as expensive as what you are proposing, either.
Jammers?
I don't think you understand how they work, then...
The problem with that route is that it's obvious it was done.
If you wanted to get in and out with little evidence that anything happened, putting your foot through the wall is NOT the way to go about doing it.
Ah, sorry for misreading you :)
.. and that's better than the unpatched issue we're discussing how?
Thanks... you just made my day.
At least we can laugh at Sony now.
Oh, believe me... we've been laughing for some time now.
