It took me three (3) tries to get a real answer out of them, which was basically: "You'll have to contact the seller".
I don't email large companies specifically because of shit like that. In the unlikely event that you do get an answer, there's a good chance you won't get much further than where you started. One phone call later, issue resolved. Plus Paypal has a big call center 15 minutes from where I live so there's a somewhat decent chance I'm not going to get some doofus in Bangalore.
Why on earth would you ever want to run Windows ME? I'd rather pay somebody 5 bucks to kick me in the jimmy than put that lump of catshit on my computer.
"There's a problem here. CD sales have fallen 20 per cent over five years. The message here is not that CD sales are coming back, the ability to obtain pirated music is now so widespread the DRM looks to consumers more like a problem than a benefit."
Maybe folks are finally figuring out that treating your entire customer base like potential criminals is eventually going to stop working.
That the Wii replaces the NES, SNES, N64, let's keep in mind that not all of the classics are currently available on the Virtual Console and there's a chance that there will be a good number of them that will never make it in the future. Don't throw your consoles away unless Nintendo puts every one of those old games that you would ever want to play on that service.
It's their plan to ban a bunch of people all at once, that's why about every month or so you see a story about how Blizzard dropped the hammer on another 60,000 accounts. It doesn't matter what OS is being used here because there are people who will migrate to Linux for the sole purpose of trying to get around Warden. Warden was generating false positives and Blizzard wanted those fixed. All it shows is that a program is only as smart as the person writing it; there are no correlations to society here.
It's not the insight he has, it's the audience. There are millions of Christian conservatives that will absolutely run scared the second he tells them "left wing bomb-throwers" are after them.
It came off of his radio show. The website bought the podcast - ironically, the guy hates ipods, but not so bad that he can't make money from people who own one - and transcribed bits and pieces of the segment.
I'm still just 30 hours in, but I'm enjoying just about every minute of it. For a change there are actually things about it that are new and not giving me the impression I'm playing an updated version of a game I've already played.
The negative press coverage has the added effect of making gamers in general look like psychotic raving lunatics subservient to evil Japanese overlords in the mind of somebody who doesn't care to tell the difference. Instead of it being about who had a successful launch vs. who had a poorly-coordinated launch, it's about those evil video game companies cleaning our children's bank accounts and driving them to violence in front of Best Buy.
I'm glad the console business is doing well, but you'd think that with all the time and effort Sony put into this thing they would have put the system into production way before July to ensure people wouldn't have to step all over each other to get one.

I saw that movie for the first time when I was about 12, and it scared the holy living bejesus out of me. It's still pretty damn good even now.
Fascist! :)
Thousands of unsold copies of some long-forgotten Mariah Carey album.
Is "World of Warcraft Expansion missing Christmas 2006" one of the items listed there?
RTFA.
It's still a sequel of a movie that doesn't need one.
Looks like they did:
- Vista is a Microsoft product
- Vista is bad
That would frickin rock... and I would finally get up off my lazy ass and go buy a Wii just for that.

Jack Bauer.
Ok, that was two words.
Bigfoot allowed us to barge into their offices on a beautiful Saturday morning with real gamers in tow.
I'm calling bullshit on this article until they perform their tests someplace other than on the card manufacturer's network.

I'll agree with you the minute the RIAA and MPAA stop playing the starving artist card.
Say it isn't so.
Damn, this is serious business now.

And if it's not the pedophiles, it's lead paint chips or unsafe playground equipment or children getting injured while playing tag.
Has that effect too, Billy-O.
Says a lot about the people paying for the program, you mean.

Doubt you'll find one that low in price unless it's broken.
