I agree. It's pretty pointless and doesn't adds anything to the real gameplay. Of course, when games are geared towards 5-6 hours of gameplay instead of giving you some real bang for your buck, you know it's not going to be the same ever again.
That was really a pointless response.
His argument is valid. Instead of suggesting a mac, you could have suggested some software that could work better. I mean, it's like you don't even bother to read up comments before zapping up some mac fanboyism.
Well, while that isn't entirely true, I gotta give that it's the most common way of infection. But since I can't give an example out of my head of auto-installers or something similar, I will simply agree. No need to argue, anyway.
That said; i still believe the worst offender are relatives using your computer.
Something will always end up wrong.
Wow, you linux-nerds don't waste anytime to troll into any topic to scream out "windows sucks".
You know, the best way to not get virus is not installing Linux. It's just knowing what you're doing. The possibilities of getting a virus or some sort of attack on your machine is directly proportional to the ammount of porno preview sites you visit.
I hate to beat on a dead horse, but the fact that people did it before, and will keep doing it does not make it right.
And I think I said I consider him an autocrat, not so much as a dictator.
That shows how much people want to hear his messages, if it wasn't clear enough. About the snipers, there is a lot on the net to be searched for regarding the events of april 11 2002. If the snipers aren't enough for you, there are gunners shooting at the manifestation - one of the being an active member of the government party -, and the attack on RCTV headquarters, led by the people at the assembly, including Iris Varela.
The first clip shows the government channel reporting the events. The second, shows the opposition one. Which one you choose is up to you, but denying it was a terrible event shows a lack of ethic.The people shot down by the snipers are shown on that video. You probably won't understand a word of the reporters, but the images should be an important clue.
There are more videos around.
To start, using the CNE to regulate the votes of the PSUV, the government party, to choose the candidates, that being a private voting, it's a clear sign. Also, the results are given, but no details are generally given until several weeks afterwards. And finally, the boxes which hold the physical votes are generally lost as well.
There are many rumours of military units burning those boxes, but they are just rumours. However, the public speeches of the CNE boss supporting Chavez is the final nail in the coffin. She's actually someone I do respect, since it takes a lot of strenght to be there, but when the CNE is supposed to be impartial, and the boss talks supporting someone, well, something is wrong.
The point is: Chavez is abusing his power to force TV and radio stations to broadcast his messages. If it wasn't everyday, it would be okay. However, it's every fucking day that he's spitting out crap about anything that pissed him off. I'm comparing him to Chile's government, who, in the face of a disaster, still asked the stations for permission to cast that message to the nation.
If it doesn't shows you how annoying and how much of an autocrat he can be - we can argue about numbers, but the ammount of people who turn off their TVs when he starts speaking is enormous -, well, compare him to other governments who don't feel the need to attack everything that's against them, and try to shove it down on everyone's throat. The recent discussion of the ban on violent video games is a big proof of it all. He doesn't likes it (and he said that on such broadcasts), the assembly ASAP goes against it. It's partly the fault of the opposition parties, but it's also inherently wrong.
That's because the CNE, the organization which controls the elections, is allied with Chavez. Nobody really has any faith on it. I agree it was a mistake back then, though. The opposition parties in Venezuela are a mess.
Now that's something interesting. In Venezuela, the lastest elections registered around 60% (a total record for the last 10 years) of total registered voters. Does that happen in the USA? That could certainly disarm one of the strongest arguments of the opposition.
Actually, he has.
CANTV, which is the main telephone provider in Venezuela, has been routinely blocking certain webpages. It's owned by the government. I could find sources, but they are all on spanish. Granted, it isn't a very effective block (hello proxies), which is probably why the full blown out block hasn't been implemented: They can't.
*cough* many of the thing he asked on the referendum were anyway implemented by some sort of law to give him powers to issue new laws without even asking *cough*

Wait, wait, were you here when the coup happened?
Because I could speak at lenghts about all that happened there, including Chavez taking up on a national forced broadcast - which happens bassically every damn day - and when it ended, a bunch of people - including journalists - had been shot by snipers. RCTV has been denied all casting on Venezuela, this is a fact. Even when the earthquake on Chile, the national broadcast by the president was an *optional* lending of space by the private TV stations. Here, it's forced and a daily thing for as much as Chavez saying he's pissed off at the internet. RCTV decided they weren't going to take it, and they were denied of the licence. Now they are applying that to every TV station, including cable tv, which is an entirely new thing.
Now he wants to do the same to the internet. Either you are with him, or, apparently, you have to remain silent. If it isn't something intrinsically linked to a dictatorship, well, something is wrong with the world.
You really need to read more about Venezuela's recent history. We call it a dictatorship due to the fact that there is no imput from anyone's who's not allied with Chavez on ANY decision taken.
I'd like to note that the one tv station that was closed was one of two which openly expressed opposite opinions to the government. The other one is on the verge of not having its licence renewed. It's not a belief: It's a fact. THe rest of the tv stations are simply silent to Chavez abuse of power. Regardless of your opinion, the abuse of power is a fact, whether you think it's for a good or a bad thing.
He also closed down several radio stations out of the weird justification that they were all part of a large network. The thing to learn in Venezuela is that you can't really be too successful.

You're talking as if you only get virus while actively looking for them.

That would mean Chavez would ask his people to think.

Wait, wait, the coup attempt in 1992 was directed by Chavez, not targeting him. He was elected in 1999.
Was that "Brainwashed nutjob" directed at me, or at Scrameustache? It's not clear.

Well, I *was* there. There you go!

That I think is called autocracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy). Dunno how to post links.
