I havenâ(TM)t done any actual statistical work on this, but it seems like anyone who supports this or starts going ape-shit on âoethe leftâ is posting as an AC.
Now why on earth would they do that? Hm...
Iâ(TM)m pretty sure itâ(TM)s not legal. Iâ(TM)d have to guess that if this is real, theyâ(TM)re relying on the fact that Congress and the Senate are pretty much giving the administration a pass on damn near everything. (At least they forced Russian sanctions down his throat).
Call me a Bioware whore, but the best news out of EA was the new Mass Effect and the class-driven expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Just saying. Barely gave any shits to the FF7 remake because it's a silly idea...
^ Disagree. Hardcore gamers will just play the game as usual.
As long as they don't make us pay to *finish* the game, then go for it.
That said, I do take issue with Online play microtransactions. In those cases you're forced to suck forever or buy into the culture.
We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely.
Now, from the EULA:
1.1 License Grant. 2D BOY hereby grants to you a non-exclusive license to use a single copy of the object code version of the Game for your personal, non-commercial home entertainment use on one personal computer or other compatible electronic device. You may sell or transfer your copy of the Game to another person along with, and subject to, your rights under this EULA, only if you do not retain any copies.
Emphasis is mine. It looks like Marketing might want to talk to Legal here...
You really think Apple won't incorporate any of Lala's streaming services into a cloud based version of iTunes? Really?
Might, might not. Did they need to buy Lala to do that? Not likely.
Using your argument from above (essentially, buy out a competitor before it presents itself as a real opponent in the market), this makes a lot of sense. If--and this is a big 'if'--Apple plan(s/ned) to integrate paid music streaming into its business model, then why not take out one of the up-and-coming competitors while picking up some of their IP and maybe their most talented staff?
found Howard Dean, 64, of Locke, bilked the state Treasury of about $230,000 by skipping work at the state's Food Production Center in Rome every Friday for 17 years but claiming the hours on his time cards
Maybe they should look at the management during his time there as well? Just a friendly suggestion...
Not that this matters to most users, but Firefox is incredibly annoying to manage in an enterprise environment when compared to other browsers. This single factor turned me off to Firefox entirely over the past few years (i.e. as other competitive browsers became available).
I'm just saying, don't claim variety if they can't even deliver a good system that fits a whole sub-market.
Absolutely! I call foul on the lack of furry friendly devices from Apple! Until they give me something that can work with my oversized unicorn gloves, I won't buy a thing from them! /sarcasm...
No, really./sarcasm. I just don't get... eh, ugh... never mind. This post wasn't worth the research I put into it.
why they ever cast Portman for V For Vendetta, when there are probably twenty British actresses that could out-act her with their eyes closed is quite beyond me.
I'll give you that... I love Natalie Portman as an actress, but while I thoroughly enjoyed her in V for Vendetta it seemed odd that they put yet another American into a British actress role. Actors 'across the pond'--as the kids say--must be getting pretty fed up with that by now.
As for Hayden Christensen... I have a soft spot for him for some movie that I just can't remember the name of. He was emo and, technically, a male prostitute and I thought he nailed the role. Most of the others--including Jumper--were disappointing, though they all had various redeeming scenes.

They put out some good movies and the revenue goes up despite piracy. So crazy.
And a reliable marketing budget that allows the dev to "convince" the reviewers to play through the bugs.
I wish I had mod points for this. Great summary of what actually seems to be going on.
I don't believe you're showing the appropriate level of nerd outrage. I mean, how dare Twitter shut down Anonymous accounts!?
Every now and then I still whimper in my sleep due to Doom 3.

Isn't this the complete premise to WATCH_DOGS, including the freakin' city?
I'm breaking my long silence for this...
The world is worse off for having lost Harold Ramis. May Dan Akroyd make up for his loss.

Why release your work for free? Does freedom feed you at the end of the day? Does it pay for your rent?
I paid $10 for it... that wasn't free.

That's what I'd do, anyway.
By all accounts the city's network worked flawlessly the entire time.
I was there at the time and it did work flawlessly. Terry Childs might be an egotistical ass, but apparently knew what he was doing.

Though in a perfectly sane world, the police would never have become involved in the first place.
We takes what we can gets in this new world of uber-paranoia.
I know I'm happy with the result. In School Suspension not juvenile detention!
Holy piss... that made a rhyme. Huh...
Okay, fine. I'll rewrite the subject... ahem.

A cut of the price of the software for Apple.
Apple makes Final Cut Studio... they already get all of the profits.
you do realize that writing it "MAC" instantly destroys all your credibility, don't you?

There, fixed that for you. :p
What, no mention of Liam Neeson?
Liam Neeson isn't an actor. He's a god. I thought it was implied.
