I think that should be the case. That would help bring about change, although small. I believe that in most cases if you win a judgment, then it gets overturned, you have to give the money back.
Does this really surprise anybody. They seem like a lazy bunch to me, not trying to troll. They have reduced the filibuster to just having to say you are going to filibuster, and they go about their business. I also believe that people will use the government wanting to ban websites as an example of us moving forward to socialism.
This is just a question I had. Was it really there 1 second then gone the next? I find it hard to believe that that it was there long enough to enter your payment information, then suddenly vanish as soon as you hit submit.
I do believe there was a post on either their Twitter or their site that in a few days something would be put in place to let people download the games.
As long as you kept the files you downloaded, you can ways play the games. I think you might need to take a little time and think next time. Unlike Steam's DRM model GOG has no DRM and doesn't have to every phone home to a server.
The cosmos was born in a churning fluid 300 million times hotter than the sun. We've recreated this hell, and it's not just hot, it is also very, very strange, says Amanda Gefter
TO LOOK deep into the fundamental structure of matter is to look billions of years back in time, to the moment when matter first blinked into being.
Recreating the conditions of that moment has long been an aim for physicists wanting to understand how the universe evolved from the cosmic fireball that existed a fraction of a second after the big bang. Now researchers at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, have, almost certainly, finally recreated the moments after creation.
By colliding nuclei together at enormous speeds, RHIC experimenters were able to break down the structure of nuclear matter. This resulted, most experts agree, in the formation of a long-sought-after plasma that is believed to be the primal stuff of the cosmos, the state of matter at the beginning of time.
It turns out, though, that the nature of matter is inextricably tied to the vacuum in which it resides. And the RHIC experiments have thrown up some surprises. They seem to show that the vacuum is a richer and more complicated place than was previously imagined. They suggest the boundary between something and nothing is more blurred than experts had predicted.
The stuff made at RHIC is a plasma consisting of quarks and gluons, the most basic building blocks of everything we see around us. Quarks combine in threes to form the protons and neutrons that comprise the nucleus of every atom. But while we can observe a single proton or neutron, we cannot observe a single quark. Quarks are perpetually confined to group living. In fact, the harder you try to pull quarks apart, the stronger the force between them becomes. This is part of the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which describes how the force between the quarks is carried by the massless gluons.
In QCD, it is the vacuum that imprisons the quarks. While it may sound like a barren place, the vacuum of QCD is a complex, dynamic arena. It writhes with virtual particles that appear in pairs, then annihilate and disappear again. It is haunted by strange creatures of various kinds, too, topologically complex knots and twists that are relatives of wormholes, places where space turns in on itself and seems treacherous. These knots and twists carve out paths for the gluons to travel along, thereby keeping the quarks together. These strange ideas have credence because of the success of QCD in predicting the reactions of fundamental particles.
The only way to unglue quarks is to "melt" the vacuum between them. But the vacuum doesn't give in easily. To raze its jagged terrain requires enormous amounts of concentrated energy, found only in powerful nuclear collisions, or the fireball at the earliest moments of time.
Melting the vacuum is like returning to the state of the universe at the time it first existed. The RHIC at Brookhaven was built to do just that, and its experiments were designed to allow physicists to study what happens when the vacuum is heated so much that quarks and gluons are freed and matter reverts to a fundamental state.
Beginning in 2000, RHIC has repeatedly sent two beams of gold nuclei, each containing hundreds of protons and neutrons, speeding in opposite directions around a 4-kilometre track. Steered by superconducting magnets and achieving energies of 100 billion electronvolts, they collide, producing a fireball 300 million times hotter than the surface of the sun. Inside the fireball over a thousand quarks are unleashed.
When, by chance, two quarks hit each other head on, the extreme energy of their collision is turned into matter. A pair of virtual particles from the vacuum are given enough energy that they become real, and fly apart in opposite directions. Each of them goes on to drag further pairs of particles out of the vacuum, and the process repeats again and again, creating streams of particles called jets. The jets rush out of the co
I am glad they are finally up and running, they haven't killed us all, and are doing cool experiments. I really hope we can gain some new insight into our wonderful universe.
I would really love to fly on an aircraft that was designed like this. I enjoy flying and would really love to see everything bellow. The only problem is the baggage compartment, and the routing of the wire, hoses, and conduit.
Is it just me, or will this do nothing to stop downloading? After reading, it appears they will only go after sites selling things. I thought that downloading was the largest threat to "the industry", or are they just getting to the point they want to bring everything down that they don't make money off of?
There is always going to be a scary slope anytime anybody talks about how anything can affect somebody else. I didn't say I support what they are doing, I was saying I can see why.
I believe it was because some single solders that didn't have transportation where complaining that the BX/PX/NEX wasn't getting games in fast enough, or couldn't pre-order, and they didn't want to have to do everything online because most of the time, you get a P.O. Box type address that people don't want to ship too, unless you are an APO
getting shot at can put them on the tipping out, and seeing it re-enacted through the eyes of the pepole that shot at them (even though they are just polygons) could give them the final push.
I can see why they would do this. Being a prior Air Force member, not everybody who gets deployed, comes back the same. I do agree though, if it was truly respect they would pull the game all together.
I know it is easy for non-military people to say that we should let the solders decided, but in all honestly, it could end up being very traumatic to some. PTSD doesn't show up right off the bat.
I know you can play as German's in some of the WW2 games, and you can be "terrorists" in CS, but with the level of realism that games are coming to, it really could push some people over the edge.
Then that goes back to power corrupts. I can't speak for other countires, but in the US at least, we need to limit how long senators and represenatives get to stay in office. Give them all 12 years, and no retirement. I think that could do a lot of good for our government.

Then the companies that were bullied should file a suit against the predatory company for extortion.

I hope that we can come up with a good way to fight Alzheimer's. It is such a heart-wrenching thing to have a loved one have it.

I see no reason to purchase something that is available for digital download, and not download it. Especially since these games are small.

Why are you so angry?
Since when does Slashdot care about giving information that is behind a paywall out? I thought the general consensus was that paywalls are bad?

Couldn't this be better accomplished by having cameras mounted on the bottom of the plane, and replace the floor with monitors?

spending more money means somebody else makes more money.
Does it say how many people where using the account. My wife and I share one Netflix account, but we both rank movies.
apparently CmdrTaco doesn't play enough games. I recall reading this just this last weekend.
Yet another country that realizes you can make more money if the music is free. Didn't the Grateful Dead already figure this out?
Hai, I'm in your services stealing your bandwidths?
I'd take free ice cream in exhange for a full body scan.
