Comment Time to dispel some ignorance (Score 1) 73

Guys:
-There is no monthly fee
-Only the brand-new games are full price, and the store has sales as often as Steam does.
-The latency issues are gone, give a demo a try. It is literally flawless.

and the BIGGEST point that no one seems to understand:
-The ENTIRE SERVICE can be upgraded indefinitely. After they fleshed out the latency issues they've been steadily increasing graphics quality, both in-game and the compression. You fucking morons seem to think it launched and they did nothing to improve it afterwards. Stop jumping to ignorant conclusions.

It's not simply the fact that Net Neutrality is the 20 page book report being torn into tiny pieces by the classroom bullies that are the telcos. It's that this has been a pattern of behavior between big business and government for decades. I'm starting to think armed revolution is our only way out of the downward spiral.

I meant the digital audio now flowing through my ipod is often ripped off a vinyl. Yeah they probably recorded the concert on a tape but you usually find these things on 7" records

Taste in this sense is not a "mine is better than yours" situation. I just mean get some. GET ANY. Have a god damn opinion. The radio is not your favorite band.

Comment Re:Why (Score 1, Troll) 278

The problem basically stems from people having zero taste and diversity in music. When I was in my music sharing heyday, it was on Soulseek with a nice room full of friends who all enjoyed similar variations on harsh punk and noise music. Not a single one of the artists I found in my time there can be purchased on iTunes or found in even the dankest of dank music shops. Most recordings are live bootlegs captured off of vinyl from the 70s and 80s. I was never afraid of being sued because these bands were real, and never even had an indie label, let alone a big one.

The moral of the limewire/filesharing lawsuit stories? Get some taste.

Comment Why (Score 5, Insightful) 278

Limewire has been so painfully irrelevant for the past 8 years now that it laughable to even still hear the name. It's like when an old man mentions "That damn Napster" as a free music service. I can only imagine the people who still use this thing are admins just wanting to test their corporate anti-virus.

This is an entire slashdot discussion filled with people who apparently have no idea that Firefox has a "Google Search Bar!" embedded in the upper right hand corner. Or that chrome's address bar is in fact a "Google Search Bar!" also. If you're using your browser correctly, you shouldn't even run in to instant. Therefore, it's completely useless. Come on guys, back me up here, you're starting to scare me.
