You also forgot to mention all the virus-laden picture frames, all the heavy metals used in batteries, the rare-earth minerals used to make the sensors, and a lot more, which makes digital worse for the environment.
I don't get viral infections from film.
My camera will also work after an EMP - I doubt yours will, and I also doubt your digital pictures will remain intact after such an event.
"Sixth, the "archival backup slide" is useless when you can have thousands of non-degradeable perfect copies of what you shot on a digital backup medium."
LOL, you think those CDs are archival? You think magnetic hard drives aren't vulnerable to data loss/corruption? You think flash memory can't go bad?
Holy hell, I've heard some doozies in my life. Yours just got added to the list.
I post the direct link and even post the key phrase and you can't even find it?
"For purposes of this subsection, the term “interoperability” means the ability of computer programs to exchange information, and of such programs mutually to use the information which has been exchanged."
'They can't tell how many people are pirating their game, but they can tell how many are downloading it relative to how many are downloading other games they've made.'
Really? They can track my encrypted non-torrent FTP transfers from a private server set up between me and only one other person on a secured line that requires two passwords to access?
Uh, yea, if you're going to talk smack, make sure you know what you're talking about.
A linux server is EXACTLY how I bypassed the DRM initially, and I DID get past the memory block most couldn't get to - learn to check your in-process opcodes, fools.
I had ACII running the week before official release. I beat it the day of official release.
The delays in Dragon's Lair was for you to have a chance at actually doing the appropriate move at the right moment. Without those delays you'd be fucked.
I still have the original laserdisc of Dragon's Lair.
"And even if it did, why don't companies charge $1,000 / game, and be REALLY greedy?"
I'm Rich app on the iPhone, $999 for a fucking spinning digital jewel.
What were you saying? You *REALLY* need to get away from your computer and go see the real world, because it's becoming painfully obvious you're not paying enough attention.
"any experts care to comment on the effect of volcanic ash on planes?"
Well, dust in any turbine system is bad as-is, but then you're looking at high internal temperatures. I'm not sure if it's hot enough, but I'd think it'd be hot enough to re-fuse that dust and ash into volcanic glass once it gets heated and pressurized in the engine. Molten glass inside an engine = bad.
Final Fight is using the same DRM method Ubisoft is using. Maybe not the same software but the method is the one Ubisoft pioneered, therefore it's Ubisoft's DRM. I'm sorry you're totally incapable of critical thinking past two steps and then linking things together logically instead of immediately resorting to cursing like a child barely in high school trying to act grown-up, but hey, maybe you'll learn otherwise sooner or later, you arrogant twit.
Oh, and BTW - I do plenty of console and game hacking - the DRM is there, it's too transparent for you to see. Go get an education before you try talking again - you need to know at least ASM for the Cell before you even try talking to me, pal.

Ditto my manual-everything lenses.

5 bucks for an 8x10 glossy that has pretty damned-good resolution.
Got several hanging on my fridge of my cat, taken with a Minolta X-700.
ReactOS, actually. Not Windows. That's how I managed to get past the section everyone got stuck at.

I think you're bullshitting.
"Doesn't matter if it's a breach of the EULA, as if you're in the US it's illegal under the DMCA."
Someone didn't read the DMCA, I see.
Learn about interoperability.

"My LEGIT copy still doesnt run on my Mac. No response from there tech support."
Threaten to file a suit for theft of services.
"Wow does not have assets stored on the client side."
Gee, I wonder what this shiny fucking WoW disc is for, then?
Looks like a fair deal of assets are stored client-side to me.

Here's the official page with EVERY Tyrian version.

Tyrian was released as freeware AGES AGO.

"Price is not based on "greed"
And you just failed economics *AND* you failed to understand human nature.
Ever wonder why we have to haggle on prices? Because motherfuckers are greedy.

Man can make it, man can break it. If you think otherwise, you're a goddamned fool.

"Where can you get a gig-e connection at home?"
Sweden, where an old lady has a 40Gbps connection.
You must be new here.
Or a bunch of HPS lamps.
Better switch to LED.

Of course that's a CYA response. I got the exact same wording though my complaint was completely different.
Go download it and find out what the 'hack' is. ;)
Enjoy getting that mess to work while reading the manual and exposing the right trace!
I think you will find the devkit PS3s had it built-in well before 2.1 ;)
Sony had Divx licensing down before they ever put the PS3 out.
Cleartype uses subpixel blending, not true full-pixel rendering.
I'm only 27 homeboy.
