Considering $1.8 billion (subscription portion of their pie) divided by 46 million (their total number of gamers) is $40 a month, I imagine their numbers are extremely inaccurate. Unless we're assuming every gamer has three separate WoW accounts (or equivalent).
Yep, and ACs who cannot use English properly like to use big words incorrectly, and those of us who know what "decisively" means laugh at them derisively.
Your derisive laughter has such finality in this argument, one could say you laughed "decisively."
If you post before this... then you haven't read the damn article!

I can attest to this. I ran NVidia cards for years and they ran every game I threw at them, if not always perfectly. Then I switched to an ATI 48xx and I can't run literally half the games I buy. I bought Red Faction: Guerrilla and have to wait until I buy a new video card, because it simply won't work. Sure, if I wait half an hour for the intro videos to play, I might be able to smack rocks with a crowbar for about 5 seconds before it crashes without even an error message, but that's not exactly ideal.
So, ya, correlation? Causation? Who knows. NVidia sucks to ATI sucks is pretty even.
You have far too much faith in old-fashioned keys. Locks are there to keep honest people honest.
If someone is trying to open my front door with a crowbar, someone else might get suspicious. If they're trying to open it with my iPhone, which would be the normal way I'd open my door, no one would even notice.
Locks may just keep honest people honest, but switching to something that can be so much more easily faked just lowers the bar of "honesty."
Couldn't you write a Facebook-like P2P program that just copied files from people you knew personally, or if they didn't have it, sort of copied from someone they knew to them, then to you?
Like, I don't know Dorothy, but I know Alex. And Alex knows Bill who knows Carrie who knows Dorothy. Alex and Bill and Carrie don't have Timberlake's "Motherlover" (Low quality, non-hulu link) song, but Dorothy does. She sends it to her friend, Carrie, who sends it to her friend, Bill, who sends it to my friend, Alex. Now I can get it, and all the sharing has been perfectly legal.
Of course, the natural result here would be that everyone and their sister would either a) have a copy of every single piece of media on the internet, or b) be constantly downloading/uploading/deleting tons and tons of data. But it'd be legal.
That's right doesn't say that the constant internet connect has to be on your computer! They meant their servers have to have a constant internet connection for you to play. Well, darn.

Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space... but Jimmy has fancy plans, and pants to match!
Feel my scales donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey.
Also...
I stole a car! I mean, a sycamore tree...
Disregard above, I cannot do maths...

New combustion engines aren't the future; renewable energy is.
Like biodiesel/biofuel, which gets leaps and bounds closer to break-even as fuel efficiency increases?

If you want everyone to understand Moby Dick, you're going to have to make it a picture book. If you don't, you're an elitist.
I have to wonder, why would a brand new installation of Windows have javascript turned off?
From my understanding it is the pages fault and not Operas.
It's the page's fault the same way it's the river's fault that my car isn't a boat.
I am sure though that Bill Clinton will have sex with you.
But he will not have sexual relations with you. Well, depending upon your definition of the word "is."
Can you imagine trying to take it on a plane? It'd be worse than laptop batteries...
3000 K? What about cooling? Refueling? 100x seems... optimistic.
Darn. I like that song.
5. Do you have any plans to control anti social behaviour?
Only in the UK...
Oh, they are definitely a serious organization. I hear they want to change the British National Anthem to this.
No, no, no, this is "Ikey," not "Icky." It means: "of, or relating to, Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower." And he was awesome.

In the US, you can either thump the Bible or the Constitution, but not both.

Stop supporting games with this kind of DRM
Ubisoft clearly has.
Best way to deal with racism is to not take racial things so goddamned seriously.
Whoa, now. This is the internet. The internet is serious business.
I have no worries, I've got my plastic fork!
Don't worry! If you're attacked by one, I'll fend it off by poking it gently in the nose with a stick while you struggle for your life!
