Out of curiosity, is your game in a bin because you object to expansions in general, or do you just object to having the typical expansion broken up into three parts and sold for the same amount of money in total?
That is the worst argument I have ever seen.(Sorry Jonnan, you've been replaced) You are either grossly ignorant or simply don't think before responding. The dvd is a dime a dozen, the boxed set sitting on a retail shelf is not. The producer that prints and ships the box has their cut, the shipper that moves the box has their cut, the warehouser that stores the box and distributes it to retail outlets has their cut, the shippers that ship th
[quote]1) Everyone who has bought a computer game in the last ten years knows the basic restrictions in an EULA; aside from EA's addition to article 3, subsection 12, in which "The company reserves the right to tie the license holder's hands behind his/her back and rape him/her in the ass", all EULA's are basically the same. 1b) That's neither here nor there; piracy is a completely different animal than an EULA, because anyone who purchases the game understands that there is an a
That logic is flawed. There is no trade agreement in copyright infringment, it's as one way as the transaction is. This will remain in the realm of idiocy until people stop equating ideas with physical objects and begin arguing the pure construct that is intellectual property. It doesn't exist, we pretend it does for mutual benefit. There is however a coerced trade agreement when restrictions are hidden in a license till after purchase.
Considering Shaolin predates copyright adoption, it's by definition public domain to start with, as something has to start out protected to avoid that status.
Thirding FFH2. Think of BTS as some piece of crap peripheral software you need to run the real game. I've played vanilla BTS three or four times total, there's just no comparison between them. Unfortunately, it is somewhat inept an ai. Particularly in comparison to the outstanding vanilla game AI. It's just not capable of utilizing all the changes. I recommend emperor or higher and disabling building requirements in the setup, even if you'r
Hello marxist. How are you today? Question, how many years of schooling did you go through, residency? What are your shifts like? How many years of studying and 6 hours of sleep on a good day did you go through to get to be a doctor? Plumbing is a year or two in a vocational school and maybe a short apprenticeship if you're serious about having a piece of paper, no major schooling required beforehand. If I can be a doctor o
I declare Oklahoma an independant state! Could someone tell the US government they've invaded?

With Stardock, yeah, physical copies are superior to digital, since they give away all the same capabilities. However, there is something to be said for being able to download it whenever you want. You also can't just sell your physical copy either, the license is tied into your account, your buyer either has to go to other sources to get updates, or is stuck playing the out of the box version. I would say it depends on the requirements the
I demand you.... Shit, can't think of anything. Ooh, I got one! I demand you implement tribble exporting as a super weapon! Good luck with your RL trouble.
Or they could just drop dead and go to hell and I can go find something else to do besides fuck with a company giving me shit for giving them business. :)
I do believe this is the first time I've heard someone claim to be a libertarian while castrating the republican party for deregulation and cutting of "services" and joining the democrats in response. Shit happens, people are imperfect. Industry fails despite regulations all the time, there were more bank failures before the deregulation than there are now. Mistaking the flaws of humanity in general for something exclusive to the private sector is foolish, c
How the hell did the Philippine war get into this thread? While bashing the US for "invading" a country to take it over, try and keep historical accuracy. The Philippines were neither free nor invaded. Spain ruled, was at war with the US, and had already bought your savior off. The US convinced him to return, and then double crossed him in the end when they took the capital themselves so Spain could save face. Considering the guy was a dirt bag h
Only in a country where even the poor are above poverty level, can something so asinine ever be propogated.
You do own a book when you buy it. What you don't own are copyrights. Copyright is a way to avoid this licensing idiocy the software industry has impaled itself on, not an excuse for it.
It's a bubble, there is no worlwide collapse coming. We got to have a burst instead of a deflation is all. The wealth that didn't exist has already disappeared for the most part. If they can just avoid taxing themselves into a depression and killing off the investment opportunities it's causing, the world will be just fine. Unless the fucktard OPEC members decide they really like $160 oil, in which case the massive slowdown it caused will continue and the Africans and
"I've never read such a load of shit in all my life. Seriously." Ok, so Uranium is kinda nutty. Question, does the box state the existence of said advertising that uploads itself to your computer or console and changes your product on the fly? I see no price breaks for the in game advertising. I see no quality improvements over games without ingame advertising. I do however see an industry making increasingly crappy cookie
What, you think they just made it up?
Hardly, they already do. Why the hell do you think regional restrictions are used? The idiocy is when some guy in South Africa can't play his game because an idiot producer had it region locked to the US, or another industrialized country with higher pay scales. This has been going on since the days of VHS. As far as the drugs go, I don't think I've heard anyone bitching about charity work in the third world. Aside from me anyway, and that's for
You know, there are legitimate uses for hamachi. Occasionally one runs into a game/router/isp combination that flat wont fucking work. I have a couple things I've managed to get working through hamachi that just wont tunnel through the Hughesnet suckfest of a control center for an ip match.
I'm not familiar with those units, are they Ork relatives?
That's the joy of free will. People are morons, so naturally when presented with the ability to be morons and buy a poorly designed PC, they do. Of course, you pay a nice little 40% premium on anything but baseline systems for your pretty OS, so maybe you shouldn't use my theory. I have a full size extended atx tower with a latching full side panel, front, rear and side panel ventilation, six small drive bays in latching cages, four large slide in drive bays
You flat can't count. Look, it's really simple. UPS has the results of it's domestic shipping component. Those results include their total operating costs up against the revenues, property taxes, benefit plans, vehicle maintenance, plumbing, electricity, the works. USPS shows the relative revenue/direct cost ratios. The other 35 billion dollars out of the 80 billion dollars they spent that year isn't fucking there. So you t
[quote]Get a grip! To import a car from the US to the UK costs about an extra $20,000 to bring it up to UK safety standards. And that's before you decide you want to move the steering wheel to the other side.[/quote] VAT is the largest cost addition to American car imports. The average for safety upgrades is like 500 pounds. I suppose you get your news from the BBC?
[quote]When will we all finally realize, most free-market tactics & as a result, capitalism ideology clearly puts 80+/-% of Earth's total population in poverty?
