At some point I bought it on sale, and I think I'd have been better served wasting my money on Mountain Dew.

So how do you deal with all the hundreds of companies who do business there and don't publicly try to improve it? Buy their stuff anyway, I imagine.

Reply to Amazon has confirmed $15 Ad Opt-Out in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="25" id="3226255"] "The advertising opt-out helps the Kindle Fire better compete with the Google Nexus 7, another highly-recommended $199, 7-inch tablet, which lacks advertising. The two tablets are still very different, though, with the Kindle Fire much more focused on letting owners consume Amazon's library of content (although it also has Amazon's app store) and the Nexus 7 more tuned towards Google's mobile services and running all the apps avail

It'd probably be fine, though I can't guarantee anything.

Reply to Ok it<s not really pc gaming but Xbox 360 question... in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Yeah, once you get an x360 HD installing is the way to go. It cuts off the noise from the DVD drive while playing. Transferring gamer profiles and such is easy in the system menus. I no longer have a 360 so I can't walk you through it, not that you'd need me to yet anyway.

If nobody is buying a game, it won't really matter if its because you hate the publisher. The dev is still going to lose out on any future contracts.

I'll *probably* buy this game when it gets dx11 support. I didn't really like the beta. The new mechanics felt clunky and the story segments had horrible voice acting, bleh. And if this is like any other forum I've mentioned it I'll get attacked by fanboys. Whee.

Reply to Windows Defender is MSE, and MS changed it for Security Companies and OEM’s. in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

If I ever buy an OEM computer (big if) there's no question that I'll use the Reset feature as soon as I get it to wipe all their shit off it. Also, saying 'big business' is their only concern would mean they never added that feature in the first place. I could mention antitrust here, since Europe is still on their ass for including other things in their OS... But I really don't care, so that's all I'll add on the topic.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="20" id="3199659"]I find a little odd how somehow you know that 100% of the reason that 100% of the people who are complaining about Windows 8 is what you think it is. How often does 100% of ANY population EVER agree on one thing or do a particular thing for the same reason? None, unless your population is very small. The truth is, Microsoft has provided a massive virtually compulsory change to Windows without much warning or discussion, and it i
