If it emerges again, I imagine finding a sample of the virus won't exactly be a problem...

Sure, but couldn't we stick with ones like cute puppies, fluffy kittens, or bald eagles if we're handing out breaks? I mean, if we HAVE to "accidentally" let a lifeform go extinct, smallpox has my vote!

Problem is you can't get all of their stuff streamed. Some of their titles are DVD only. Stupid, I know.

I'll have you know, drinkypoo, that looking up your signature lead me to read Snow Crash to begin with. Great book!

(My post above was in reference to the OP, not the post I replied to.)

I didn't post this, but I think most of the replies/mods missed this dripping sarcasm...

Haha, me too! Although combining an Occulus Rift and and Omni is probably a bit too much like actual exercise to really take off in a big way. Yeah it's a neat gimmick, but not conducive to gaming for hours. Unless you are specifically using it to make your exercise routine more interesting, in which case it's a great idea. That would be a different user base than for most video games, though...

No, the grammar in the headline is correct. Shooters is plural, so "don't" is correct.

Wait a minute. Microsoft has the ability to innovate? Who knew!

As it should be. We need fewer laws, not more of them.

Being a current Time Warner subscriber, all I have to say is: Holy shit, me too! Time Warner isn't a whole lot better, but they are a little, IMO.

That's fine unless they report you to a credit agency. Yeah, you could clear yourself of that, but it would be a PITA.

We used to do exactly that with Charter every year. Worked like clockwork.

They probably publicly reprimanded him, then privately promoted him...

That 8 minutes of audio was brutal to listen to. But that aside, yeah, my wife used to call Charter every year and say we're canceling because we're switching to ADSL. We weren't, but they reduced our rates for another year like clockwork. Next year when the rates went back up again, lather, rinse, repeat.
