no they werent. 15 years ago, everyone i know were gaming like madmen, and all the talk among them - on internet and outside - was the games. this includes international communities.
Yes, games were great 15 years ago. it was gameplay first, rest second. now its either overblown 3d graphics with mediocre gameplay or... well. there is nothing else.
pump up marketing around sequel to successful game of 15 years ago every year, give extremely pumped up graphics, and sell it for $60. thats what is happening.
it was estimated that fuku has become 160 times chernobyl. whats horrible is how government is trying to suppress any kind of information in the country. state hospitals are refusing to take care of fukushimia residents. (read within the site i linked). despite 100 times legal limit radiation detected in various parts of europe and usa, no tv channel is making these news, and epa suddenly increased the limit for radiation in rain water when it was discovered that michigan ground water suddenly contained high radiation after some torrrential rains. and so it goes. just read in there.
its appalling to see the morons talking out of usa here, saying how well the leak was 'contained' and so on, and what actual japanese people talk in the site i linked above. horizon-widening in regard to naivete and idiocy.
tell me how do all of what you said above apply to governments who commit crimes with MY vote, MY money, and against MY will.
yeah. i will take the kids doing graffiti and then moving on to expose the shit i didnt allow my government to do. thank you. if free speech had a cost, we failed to pay that cost a long time ago. and now the kids are fixing it. shame on us.
the 'organized syndicates' you talk about operate out of china, russia, and there is nothing in hell's depths you can do to them. unless you start third world war.
should be nationalized. because if they are as big like that, it means they become infrastructures of strategic kind, which you cannot just let private interests control.
anyone arguing otherwise has to justify not privatizing the army first.
AMD didnt have intel by the balls then. by then, intel just paid money to pc makers to use their chips. they got fined for it, but not enough. they got a net benefit from the entire affair. and negated amds competition by such whoring.
when companies' clueless legal departments produce bullshit like this, it is a hilarious read. like, how there was endless crap surrounding assassin's creed 2 regarding its drm, and the tough talk and bullshit from ubisoft. what happened in the end ?
you cant force or coerce 'the people'. they are many. they eventually do what they see fit. it is much better for a company to tell their legal department - which are proven to be totally clueless about how things work on the internet btw - to shut the fuck up, and handle their consumer relations more carefully. (not leave it to marketing dept. goons either - they screw it up so grandly in another way).
after apple losing their prototype a SECOND time, in the exact SAME fashion they did last time, and sending goons to look for it in exact SAME fashion, i dont trust any such stuff. - wait, apple goons told that they were from SF police dept this time - thats something new.
cant this be something to make people download dirt, get them hooked ?
People who are talking about the ridiculousness of fax has never had to deal with an email not arriving in its proper destination with rational cause.
You track the situation, only to find out that, say, hotmail's own proprietary spam filter, which you will never be able to divine the logic of, has filtered the email. (nothing related to spf or similar).
or, you will find that some random spam blacklist has randomly listed your ip range, and some customer/client was using that blacklist.
or you will find that the customer set their spam filter ridiculously high, filtering a lot of legitimate email.
or, there was some problem with the receiving server, and its mail delivery queue got erased.
you can insert any kind of i.t. mishap that may happen in communication in between two points on the internet.
............
these are stuff that you cant take risks with when contracts, legal matters, actually any kind of critical information is in question. hence the continuance of fax.
as 'disney.com' ? the porn that goes in there is totally different than the regular porn tho - they are fucking children's minds. still, its xxx in another sense.
'but, but, if you run benchmarks at 3840x2160 then the CPU is irrelevant'
it is. it is quite irrelevant. anyone who is spending money to get good performance on the mentioned resolution vicinity you speak about, is either an extreme enthusiast, a hobbyist, or a moron.
All i can say is it is good that i didnt rely on any of those services. This tells me not to rely on google for any services. for, it is no dissimilar from microsoft shutting bcentral into the face of their ecommerce clients, or dropping silverlight or any other similar private corporate profit move.
all i can conclude is relying on corporations for services is not a good thing, because eventually what you are using gets either shut down, or screwed with other services for profit reasons, causing distress to you.
and no, i dont at all buy the 'will make it easier for our customers' bit at all. it never ends up that way. saying that is nothing more than an attempt to soothe the public.

you played a lot. i stopped 1.5 hours after i started playing it. same old rehash with dumber player participation and pumped up graphics.

if its just 10% drop at the advent of the law, it means it outright failed.
moreover, they just made piracy 'cooler' and more worthy of doing for a lot of rebel types and kids.
Project Gutenberg is some major shit. kudos.

hahahahahahaha.
thank you for expressing your desire so honestly and directly. its refreshing.

Coming into a multiplayer Flag near you. One frag, one grope. two frags, two gropes. server blacklists (at last yay !) and many, many mooooreee !!!
it sounds better when you put something into musical form doesnt it.
Considering the success that was achieved by homeland security in regard to preventing terrorism within united ............. oh wait .......
Correct wordage is 'pwn'.
the concept of 'vomit-porn' is not only new to me, but horizon-widening in every sense ...
as 'disney.com' ? the porn that goes in there is totally different than the regular porn tho - they are fucking children's minds. still, its xxx in another sense.
'the firewall in Windows 7 reaching out in to the network' part was hilarious.
just a defacement probably through latest apache exploit.

yes. now you fuck off.
They didnt want to harm the kernel.
