I suspect it's going to be a lot more embarrassing when a lawsuit forces WV to release the report, at which point we'll also have a good idea of who was actively trying to suppress it in the first place.
It must suck for you when you go to the doctor and then dispute his diagnosis of your bloodwork because you haven't had the medical schooling needed to interpret it.
Most of us assume the doctor knows what the fuck he's talking about, and aren't going to start doubting him because Glenn Beck told us to.
"The portion of 5-star Amazon reviewers who actually enjoyed the game (some of those reviews were sarcastic) probably don't care about the DRM issues, and were the lucky few that had no server issues. Then there are the fanboy types are willing to enjoy *anything* because they've put their identity into it. "
NK threatened this about a decade ago when we were getting ready to invade Iraq for no plausible reason, but apparently no one gave a shit. No one's going to give a shit this time either since NK still doesn't have a credible delivery system. People will suddenly start giving a shit by the time they DO have one.
Hey, here's a thought: instead of dicking around asking other people how to solve a pretty basic problem, why don't you get back to work and figure it out?
" It's not just "MBA"s and such making these decisions. It's everybody. Every Joe Blow who buys a stock or a mutual fund is interested in one thing: return."
Joe "I have one share" Blow gets to make strategic business decisions now? Huh.

A singer/tourist might have to give up a spot to someone who will do science. What's the downside, again?
Corporations are "people" now, right? This one should get the death penalty.
No gas chamber, though. Hang from the neck until dead.
Slashdot, what is the best gaming system, OS, food, and political philosophy?
Contagious? HOW CONTAGIOUS???
I...I think I need to lie down for a while.
"the greatest disrespect you can give me is when you applaud directly after a solo."
Huh. I see you've never played in a rowdy bar.
Whooooooooooooooooosh.
"I mean a bit tax could be a cent per gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year"
Nothing like solid math to really back up your argument.

"Well, at least the members of /. that break the rules and read linked articles :)"
And both of them are probably following this case very closely to see if their IP addresses are going to be released.

And the other 16 were EA C-levels.
"They can then connect over how much they hate things."
Not if they try to use EA's servers.

"I didn't intend to drunkenly T-bone that other car and kill that family" is not a valid legal or moral defense.
Uh, yes it is. It's the reason we have different legal definitions of e.g. murder and manslaughter.
"I didn't intend to [...] kill that family" is a perfectly valid legal defense against a charge of first-degree murder.
"You are the one who needs to conclusively prove that he wasn't attempting to aid the enemy by releasing volumes of military secrets in time of war."
Is that how criminal trials work in the US these days? I guess I've lost touch.
"Isn't this what everyone at Slashdot have wanted?"
Obviously it's impossible to claim *everyone* wanted it, but likely a majority did. 16 years ago.
Now I think it's safe to say that the majority of Slashdot just wants the big players in the music industry to drown in raw sewage. I know I do.
Six Strikes is working already!
No need to worry, citizen--if you aren't doing anything illegal, you have nothing to fear! Now bend over so we can search you for bootleg DVDs.
You didn't answer the question.

Barnes and Noble sold my one-off email address to spammers. If they're really that hard up for money then maybe...no, wait, fuck them.
I used to "NET SHARE" their printers. Good times.
Now let's see numbers for OTA-only viewing, which would make this meaningful in any way.
Hang on, are you claiming the average person watches over 4 hours of TV every single day? What crevice are you pulling these stats from?
"Well, the public was given a choice back in the 90's. There were ad-driven sites, and there were subscription-based sites."
Holy false dichotomy, Batman, you're missing a category here.
