Anyway, I wanted to spell it out for you all, but it was removed. This proves to us that this plan for used games has nothing to do with countering piracy, but only feeding greed.
Unethical and illegal are two different things. Donating millions to influence litigation into putting your little competitors out of business illegal? No. Unethical. Bet your ass it is.
And no one seemed to read between the lines and see the bullshit when Colbert made his own Super PAC. I rarely watch the guy, but he had my attention starting his PAC up.
Don't forget, these cars are rated not just for ideal driving habits, but ideal driving conditions. MPG drops drastically once you get over the 60mph mark. My truck gets closest to the EPA rating when I'm doing 60 on highways, but 70-75 on the interstate puts me further from the rating.
Is piracy really that rampant on the Xbox? Seems like every time I've heard about a new hack, M$ has been quick to fix it and ban hammer those exploiting it. You can't even clone a factory HD to a bigger one and pop it in without getting busted.
Right, they're looking at the screen and it defeats the purpose of voice activated hands free. I use Siri for quick texts while I'm driving. "Tell my wife I'm on my way." Siri says something about sending a text and "Ready to send it?" "Read it." Siri reads it back. "Send it." If Siri is having a deaf moment, I'll leave it alone until I get to a red light or I'll pull off the road if needed. Like condoms for birth control, voice activated hands free is only safer if done right.
The most durable laptop I ever owned was a Lenovo Thinkpad. Took about 7 years of abuse being tossed around in my laptop bag. It got 2 cracks in the LCD bezel the last couple years I used it. Other than that, no problems.
Death is far better than what he deserves. I think we should hang, draw and quarter these guys as a good old fashioned warning to any others thinking about such crimes.
You can find copies of Win7 around. My dad asked me if you could still get a Win7 machine, to which I answered: refurb with a warranty. Next machine I buy will involve me looking Mac vs. Linux, who is winning the software/gaming availability and support.
My town has 2 Blue Angels shows a year and its huge for business, especially the show on our beach. It's one of the busiest weekends on the beach as people will try to get out there but end up sitting in traffic all day and some miss the show doing it. I hope all businesses who benefit from air shows are coming up with other events to support themselves. I'd actually still go just for a civilian air show (don't get me wrong, the Blues are cool) since you see different planes, pilots and stunts every year.
...M$ is losing on those gambles it keeps making pissing off their long-time customers. I'm glad I upgraded my PCs before Win8 came out, because the next machine I buy will probably run Mac OS.
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. I administer a small office server and you bet your ass I update it and reboot it for updates. I do like seeing a long uptime (windows machines can't touch) but that uptime wouldn't mean anything if the machine was compromised.

Then they'll go with a higher power. Seen it happen a lot in my job. They go with whatever is working best for them.
One man's deep sea trash is another man's deep sea treasure.
Seems to be a implementation issue with certain manufacturers. Rolling codes are reasonably secure and have been for a while.
That's my point, but many have compared this to DRM and then it raised the question whether or not piracy on the Xbox is that bad.

I used to have an application that does this by recording the packets of a streaming file. Now I have a Firefox plugin that does it.

The terrorist won. We are all terrified and gladly surrender our rights to give us a crutch to stand to say we aren't scared.

They have their FuckMe gun on full auto and haven't let off the trigger yet.

Best part of the new episodes were referencing the Fox network as the Box network.
Someone had to say it.

Oh lordy me, I must be mistaken. I'm not worthy to post here, or anywhere unlike you. Twat.

Yes and local businesses who depend on these air shows for tourist income will flirt with failure and pit more people out of work, fucktard.

No, seriously, they are still open for tourism. These guys are throwing a fit like a 6 year old wanting McDonald's over broccoli for dinner.
Perhaps their microtransaction model doesn't appeal to those who enjoy(ed) their games. Just a thought from someone who used to enjoy their games.
