    Let's see...the terms "invaders", "defenders", "regions"...I'm going to guess you're playing NationStates? I used to be a defender in that game although that was about a year ago if I remember correctly, although I hung out in IRC channels related to the game until about six months ago. The politics that developed in that game would probably make a good psychological study, considering how worked up people(including me) got about the game.

    You do know that the original line in the Shakespeare play was said by a thug of a murderous tyrant, right?

    The myth continues because they tried to do Mac-clones once and it failed for them. Personally, I'm ambivalent on the issue liking neither Mac software nor hardware

    Only if you buy a computer OEM. Something I would never do for a desktop unless I needed a huge number of them.

    Bonnie Hammer and Mark Stern are Sci-Fi channel executives, just in case you really don't know what I'm talking about. But MC and Howard are pretty stupid too.

    Prohibition led to speakeasies where people illegally drank alcohol laced with formaldehyde. DRM leads to places where people illegally download movies and TV shows laced with viruses.

    I haven't seen those before. I also haven't seen the anti-piracy ads in the theater for over a year.

    Sorry about that, I just get kind of annoyed at that lie because it gets spread every time TV and ads are mentioned. Plus I was a little testy about the idiots thinking "The Internet is for Porn" is insightful. Glad to be of service.

  21. Re:obvious on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 1

    Only idiots "know" that the internet is for porn. Porn is one of the least interesting and least important parts of the Internet. The Porn industry did not decide the VHS/Beta battle. Pornography is not the purpose of the Internet, and is not why the net was born. If all the porn sites were taken off the internet, it would be better for the loss.

    SG-1 didn't fall in ratings due to downloading--the number of downloaders is negligable next to the two million or so watchers. It fell in ratings due to the fact that the Sci-Fi channel, in its infinite wisdom, decided to seperate the Stargates from Battlestar Galactica, reducing the ratings for all three shows to their current levels. And forcing the channel to do even more moronic things like move BSG to Sundays. Hammer and Stern are complete idiots.

    No, TV without commercials wasn't the idea of cable. Cable was invented so that people who lived in places that couldn't properly get TV from an antenna could watch TV. The first cable-only channel, HBO, was commercial-free and still is, but the very next cable-only channel, TBS, had commercials. Please stop spreading that bullshit.
