Game developer and publishers go out of business every year. Why should we trust that they will remain in business and honor their promise for a final patch? No thanks, I don't need that kind of abuse.
In my opinion, some people can not be rehabilitated. The penal system is meant to hand out punishment for crimes committed and turn them into 'productive members of society'. This probably does not happen very often. The fact of the matter is that some people will commit terrible crimes. Repeatedly. In that circumstance, it is better to put them down like the animals that they act like. A civilized society depends on respect for your fellow man.
if anything we're celebrating he killed himself, but most of us probably just joke about it.
I'm sorry that you have so little value for a human life. Please don't misunderstand; I'm pro death penalty. However, his crimes certainly did not warrant his death let alone his families lives. In my opinion, anyone that celebrates his death ignores his final crime and should be held in the utmost contempt.
As a father of 3, I cannot fathom what drives a person to do that to their own child.
This person was obviously not in their right mind. Anyone that could harm a child, let alone their own child is severely disturbed.
An adult can create conflict that may drive you to retaliate.
A 'family exterminator' truly believes that they are the center of the universe for their family. In their minds, they believe that they are helping them by preempting any suffering that they could experience. I also would not be surprised to learn that the spammer blamed everyone except for himself. Car wreck, the other driver. Late for work, the news reporter didn't mention traffic. On the larger scope; Financial ruin, the feds. Jail time, congress set him up. etc, etc.
It's a twisted view of reality that is based around the assumption that he is all that matters and that his family can not survive without him.
It takes someone with a minor god complex. "I'm the only thing that matters to my family, so they're better off dead." I know some people here will celebrate the spammers death, but I would have rather seen him in a 8x10 cell.
Boycott Target. They recently adopted a very strict return policy. It essentially amounts to, "No". If you do manage to get them to take an item back, they try to charge a massive %15-30 restocking fee. I will do my shopping at Wally world until they pull their heads out of their collective ass.
Injection and blow are both very difficult when it comes to quality control. The machines are fairly complex and quality is effected by the slightest change. Small air leak, reduced pressure. Raw material contamination (water, dust, etc), holes in the product. Mattresses and plastics are two very different processes. You really should spend an hour in a plastics factory before going on a rant.
Smash Brothers almost demands the use of a traditional pad.
We had eight guys together. Half played with the gamecube controllers and the other half used the wiimote & nunchuck. I came out on top by using the motion based quick smashes. You're entitled to your preference, but I'll hang on to my wiimote for now.
Probably because a major part of the core Final Fantasy lineage is eye candy...
And that is why I stopped purchasing the FF series after FF7. Between work, family, etc; I don't have time for eye candy. I want a good story line, solid mechanics and games that I can drop at a moments notice. I realize that 1 and 3 are contradictory, but I expect that I'm not alone.
A reputation, based on people with a serious ideological axe to grind.
I have a friend who works for the feds. One of her coworkers shows up to turn on his computer and leaves for the rest of the day. He shows up again around 4pm, turns it off and goes home. The supervisor has tried to fire him multiple times and has not been able to.
Perhaps a certain amount of ignorance is pleasant for you, but I would prefer to know and understand the truth around me. Events, the true intentions of the people around me, etc.
We could finally have prove that the sociopath in the cube across the hall is actively trying to screw us.
I shouldn't have capitalized 'one'. I was trying to convey that the PS3 was more open. Given my lack of first hand experience with either system, I didn't want to jump in over my head on tech specs.
I voted for Obama in the primary because his rhetoric of change
This is your first mistake. Obama was brought out of Chicago politics. We're the land of federal corruption investigations. We have more than 50% of the nations investigators looking into various Illinois politicians. I'm sorry that you got your hopes up, but you should have known better than to trust a politician.
I download when there is no demo available. I finally got STALKER working about three months ago after I replaced my entire computer. I never did figure out what the problem was, but the game was completely unplayable.

I switched from At&t to DSLExtreme. $7.00 cheaper and it's faster.
Yay, another game where I get to immediately experience every great weapon and skill only to have it ripped away. I'm a bit tired of being neutered.
Same here. I skipped Mass Effect and Spore after I got burned with Bioshock.
I wish I could give you +1 for this. I've spent a fair bit of time playing tennis and boxing, but Golf is terrible.
I switched to DSLExtreme about two months ago and gave AT&T the boot. I'm saving $7 per month and I have twice the speed.
There are guides to build your own. I'm sure it will deter the casual pirates, but I doubt they have that much to spend on games anyways.

Blu-what? Ahhh, that movie player that I won't be purchasing. I have an up-converting DVD player and HD satellite. Remind me why I need Blu-ray.

Do you realize you're supporting SONY for being OPEN at this point?
Sony is more open on this ONE point. They allow you to use third party drives and MicroSoft does not.
The XBox has some issues but, really, they make some damned fine hardware when they want to.
Hmmm... I guess they just didn't want to when it came to the 360. However, I'll agree that their peripherals generally work well.
I wish I hadn't used all my mod points.
Why would they give you a cheaper price? In all likely hood, they will install a 'reasonable' cap at the same price.
It will be curious what happens in the market
Answer: Ma Bell continues to screw the customer with a government granted monopoly.
