I have seen forums who boast 25,000 registered members who's primary clientele is furry anime porn lovers. To each his own... the thing that I find interesting about the Social Networking sites being in the news is the new revenue potentials... ad-based as well as finding ways to merge themselves to offer lots of content, user generated as well as corp-generated.
Whether or not they your your thing - there is a market for everything.
I do pretty well here... housing outside of the main city is extremely affordable. For a 20+ year old with a wife and two kids and low personal debt - can't be beat.
This is the same company that allows pre-orders for an expansion that it knows is going to be rendered worthless with upcoming changes to the game, doesn't announce those changes until the credit cards are billed, and then claims that everything is okay despite emptying of their online servers.
This is the same company who's BMG branch allowed rootkits onto our computers without express or even implied consent, increasing the security threat both from malware and allowing people to cloak hacks for games, and a host of other problems I'm sure.
This is the same company that treats its customers like idiots - and then feigns ignorance when people stop plopping more money down.
I do have to admit - I'm curious to see which PR guy they send out to handle this, and how they spin things going forward.
Weird... I've got the OpenOffice 2.0.0 version and they don't work. Is it possible that they were unintentionally disabled? Or maybe because I didn't install Java with it?
Is it possible to have the Windows Shortcuts such as CTRL - C and CTRL - V integrated in OpenOffice? It's frustrating when trying to use at home and my regular shortcuts don't work...
I was all with them until this nonsense. Of course... why would they cost themselves the profit of at least selling the games if they ran a game store? Even at $10 apiece, that's well over the cost of what they were charging to give them for.
Is there really no remedy for someone to take who invents something only to have someone who hasn't produced anything with a patent sue them?
I would think we'd only issue patents to people who have actually got a working prototype of something.
I don't mind game changes whatsoever. Even though I am a huge Star Wars fan - I will be cancelling after what I consider the '3rd Strike' from Sony Online Entertainment.
I will be cancelling because while I do not mind signifigant game altering changes - I do not appreciate being lied to. The 3rd Strike Lie (bait & switch on expansion purchasers) did not even affect my character.
As a matter of fact - by all accounts I'll be able to respect into a full template Jedi under the new system.
The prior two lies were a result of underhanded publish changes that were not even listed in the patch notes for Publish 22 & Publish 23. I recall the uproar that forced SOE to remove the changes after they went live.
I sold my Playstation 2, and I sold all my games. I will not be purchasing another Sony product. Sony's DRM technology is now being used to cloak game hacks and Trojan programs. Sony is reportedly in the works on removing the ability to play Playstation 3 games on more than one console - so that everyone has to buy their own copy.
Sony is about the dollah dollah bottomline. They believe they can reach this via underhanded tactics and deceptive business practices.
Not off my wallet.
Oh and my question:
Why don't you and your company go fuck yourselves?

How many viruses were written for Apple's elevators as opposed to Microsoft's elevators last year alone?

Hear Hear. Turned down the Sony camcorder option myself for a Panasonic.
The unfunny part about this is that they make it not very straightforward to find the cancellation menu.
