    I could do better :) But seriously, i agree. They are at the top after all. Windows isn't made for one person, its made for millions of people, and they are always going to piss someone off, even down to things like colours. Personally i hate windows, because its not what i want. but there inst really anything else that comes close to what i want. I stick with windows because all the apps i want run on it, because it runs just about everything. Lets face it, its a very bad idea to make a program for everything but windows, thats just plain stupid.

    Those keys would never get revoked.
    Or would they..... it would be quite a humorous predicament if The Xbox 360 and the PS3 had a feature forcibly removed from them :P

  5. Re:Here is one of the reasons on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I think its worthwhile outlaying pros and cons to piracy :)
    Pros
    • Free
    • Ad Free
    • Versatile
    • Distributable
    • Modifiable
    • Abundance (I love this one the most. I know what its like to hear "Sorry no-one but you listens to/watches that, so we don't stock it")
    Cons:
    • Illegal
    • No nice packaging (I love a good box that i can display, but sadly this is fading away a lot)
    Did i miss anything?

  10. Re:Why should we really upgrade. on Preview of Vista On Old Hardware · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the smartest girl in school's question to me one day "What is linux?" Sadly, 3 people asked after her. If Steam ran Natively in linux id be so there, because as much as you can get it done, i couldnt be bothered to tweak and tweak until i got it completly right. I dont want an OS thats for the majority of people, i want one for me. and DRM is not on my list.

  11. Re:The 9 Reasons on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Heres another point, all these errors on Firefox V 2.0, but why do i find it better than IE V _7.0_ ? theres a good decade of upgrading IE could have done but its only come along because their market share has been disturbed by Firefox. In fact, i hate every single web browser out now, because when i make a web page i have to check it on 3 browsers, which is kinda silly seeing as its not written any differently for each one....

    This is a media flame story for sure. Hopefully people realize that this whole story is shit, for if they don't the media will destroy the internet, just like it did to TV.

    I Miss TV, it used to be good.

    It may be an attempt to make emos happier, by giving them that music so they dont have to sit on the net to listen to it

  15. Re:Well, the article suggests that on Handicapping the 6th Generation iPod · · Score: 1

    Isnt it amazing how IT can make more money by saving money? Heres a great example:

    If Microsoft dosent fix bugs in their OSes they save money, but then people need those bugs fixed, so Microsoft will make a new OS, and people have to buy it to fix thier problems, giving MS more money!

    Every company does this in one way or form and its very very pittiful.

  16. Ahem on Handicapping the 6th Generation iPod · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Has anyone realized that pretty much all of these rumors, if real, would be crap? Theres far better things you could put in a media device. For one why don't they have a different form factor and make a longer screen, that could change orientation like many handhelds to give better movie playback? Or even better a SCRATCH RESISTANT SURFACE?

    I think the problem that most people see is that windows is now going to be an operating system that is more closed off than ever before, yes its going to stop all the mean nasty little bad viruses but its going to have the effect of insecticide, Its going to kill the things we don't want, at the expense of killing what we do want
