His point is that not everyone who initially bought an Xbox (any generation) immediately purchased an XBox live account.
So even though they moved less units last year that doesnt necessarily mean they will have less Live subscribers.
In many states, its a crime to leave your car running unattended (aka starting your car on a cold winter morning) but in all honesty, thats BS. Its a shame as humans that we are such degenerates that we have to commit a crime whenever an opportunity presents itself.
However, there is a difference between starting your car when its 5 below versus leaving your car running on the Vegas strip while you run into a motel to bang 3 hookers versus my dad using his computer to check his email and wondering why it boots up slower than it did when he first bought it. What you are suggesting is that there are internet tests prior to using or buying a computer, and history knows how limiting a right until you pass a test works out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws
I just threw Linux out as an example. As stated in a above response, if everyone were to start using Linux tomorrow, there would be Linux botnets up in the next week due to everyone using an OS they understand even less.
I know its "crazy" to think that not everyone knows how to run a bare bones Linux distro and knows how to block all ports except for 80, 8080, and say 21-23. But believe me when I say that the majority of computer users are incredibly inept when it comes to basic computer security.
Grandma will never be a network admin. Neither will your local elementary school teacher. Just because people run Windows out of the box and have no idea they are harboring an orgy of botnets is it fair to call them criminals.
A lot of Universities have co-ed dorm halls with male only/female only bathrooms, but I've never heard of any in the modern area with mixed bathroom facilities.
People always want to focus on foreign programmers not being able to program but miss the point of equivalent exchange. This applies in India, the US, UK, and the North Pole. If Santa outsources his toys to every country, and pays them the same rate in the North Pole currency, and provides the same raw material, I im 99.99% sure that Santa could throw all those stuffed bears in a bag and not know hes giving Timmy a bear from the US and Tommy a bear from Brazil.
Really? You think MS (or any company near their size) would use submitted code as a starting point? Geez, I understand the dislike for MS, but lets use sound reasoning please.
You deleted your facebook account a week ago in hopes that a startup social network that isnt slated to go live until Sept 2010 would alleviate your facebook problems?
Taxes? What taxes? Check out how much GE paid in taxes this past year. I'll save you the research and tell you here: $0.
Im not saying each listed company paid zero dollars in taxes to the US, but it would be a safe bet that they softened the blow with overseas loopholes.
"Make that bitch itch," the website says. "We sell you crabs to give your ex-girlfriend or whoever has pissed you off enough to make you seek revenge on them. If you want a method of revenge that doesn't involve permanent damage or risk of personal injury or jail time, you have come to the right place."
So when/if I do incur jail time, what kind of countersuit could I claim??
Why was this modded down? Parent is completely right (except for there has been more than one accident, an oil rig explosion happened once before).
We realistically cannot shut down an entire industry because we have this "Captain Planet" mentality. Lets think about what we are really proposing here before we all jump up in arms.

14 hours of sleep will be plenty of time to perform inception. I just hope the sedative is strong enough . . . I have a empire to break up.
