That's certainly a sad state of affairs when kids thing of Bing and they think of a search engine. Bing Crosby one of the greatest singers of all time playing second to a search engine. A nice Bing Crosby story out of the blue and a bit of sports history recovered. Reminds me of the recent discovery of the lost footage of Metropolis. Treasures are still out there it's nice to know.

Yah, I agree. I did pick up Civ 4 recently. I saw it advertised as DRM free which means less fiddling with my own computer by third party software etc. I can wait, I hear it's buggy and all that as well. Well, you know, get the kinks out, get the Steam out and we're in business.

His self righteous brainless disclosure of classified information that was stolen needs to be stopped. He is not some great hero for posting Classified Information. That material was deemed Classified by an American Government that was duly elected by American citizens, and anyone who thinks that Governments which are duly elected have no right to Classified Information from which they can make informed decisions and honestly record and report information to our elected decision makers is some sort of mindless Anarchist. He was not elected, he has no earthly right to be the one to expose information that he might think is worthy of being exposed. Lives have been lost, lives will be lost because of this Clown - the Taliban and Al-Queda are thanking this tool! It's a war for god's sake, people get killed in wars and sometimes the wrong people get killed in war. The United States military goes way out of it's way to keep from killing civilians even though the enemy has no problem blowing up civilians and shooting at allied soldiers while hiding behind women and children yet this Wikileaks Clown thinks our side is the problem. Should he be in charge of deciding the fates of American and Allied soldiers? Should he and some idiot brainless soldier who leaked this info be the one in charge of deciding how many other Afghan civilians get killed because their information was leaked as well? I don't think so. Put this guy in jail where he belongs.

When something is classified and you aren't supposed to view it, then you're not supposed to view it. Something doesn't become declassified because some idiots stole it and some other idiots published it. You say you are war veteran but since you don't seem to comprehend this simple fact you know and don't understand about Security clearances and the purpose of classified documents you know, your speechlessness is understandable. Crimes were committed to acquire these documents, people will go to jail for it. People have died because of this security breech and I do hope that the United States government is able to shut down Wikileaks and end their own disconnect from reality. To think that they will escape the consequences of their actions is the ultimate disconnect as far as I'm concerned.

You know, you come at this with one overriding point of view - US Military is Bad. Well I got news for you. These guys are out there risking their butts for folks like you who don't have the first clue about what those people are going through, how limited they are in how they can respond to the enemy who hides behind women and children and in Mosques and shoot at the good guys from those positions. Those folks are cowardly civilian bombing animals and all you got to say is that there is something wrong with our guys. Ours guys who are us, our kids, our brothers, our sisters and our fathers and mothers. They should arrest this clown if they can catch him and every American who helped put other Americans in danger should be sent to prison for a long long time.

Yah well, they may call the newer XBox 360's -' XBox 360's' but they aren't the same and the games being made now aren't the same either - I have an older XBox 360 and it flat out won't play the newer games. At least with computer games it gives some indication of which computers can play the game - here there is consumer fraud where the machines are represented as the same but that's not the case. The new consoles should be called XBox 365's and just freaking label the new games like Red Dead Redemption as exclusives for the 'New' XBox 365.

The guy had a classified job and a duty to perform that job. His actions jeopardized and continues to jeopardize the lives of American and Nato soldiers so there isn't a hole in the ground deep enough for him to be sent to. The videos he provided have been edited down and turned into propaganda to be used against the United States. The US Military needs to use some common sense security so that crap doesn't happen again.

The religious female slave/chattel thing doesn't even have to enter into it. Burkas should be banned for the same reason as any face hiding clothing is banned - public safety. It's harder to sneak guns and suicide vests around if you can't be wearing your Burka which somehow is allowable for the cowardly jihadist religious minded when it suits them crowd. Same as ski masks aren't allowed in the normal course of events except on ski slopes. Simple as can be.

Another one of those over hyped shows that goes out with much publicity and paid for frenzy. I see this topic on the NEWS, in all the magazines, even here on Slashdot. And all for some show that people have mistaken for being full of depth when like every other show it just threw itself up there and invented itself as it went along. Good for those guys for tap dancing as long as they could and suckering suckers. That's the show I enjoy watching.

Yeah, every time I've ever tried to load my perfectly legitimate copy of Microsoft Office 2007 the Microsoft Outlook would never ever load up. Go to the Microsoft site, to all the forums and it's 'a known problem' - which never got fixed. I'm looking forward to the same degree of outstanding service with this next iteration of Microsoft Office! Something that loads up and takes up a lot of memory and still manages to provide less of a product than Open Office. Thanks Microsoft. More of the same please.

Yup, I happily bought the Combo pack of the Blu-Ray and the DVD. Put the Blu-Ray in and it flat out would not work. It helpfully informed me that if it didn't work it was the fault of my Blu-Ray, which I bought to oh I don't know - PLAY BLU-RAY videos! Three days later, a USB Gigstick and two tedious updates later it finally got to work. A horrible horrible experience I didn't expect to have to go through and I should not have had to go through. Insane to make it harder for me as a customer to use the product. The DVD? Oh it plays alright, but it plays with english subtitles permanently on and there is nothing I can do to turn them off and they cover the bottom third of the screen. Absurd. Thank you for creating a unusable product FOX. Of course, there was no place to complain except at Amazon - I gave a bad review of the Blu-Ray and DVD and I complained to the website of my Blu-Ray player. DRM - Broken by design.

Hey hey hey - No spouting off 'FACTS' in the middle of the 'OMG it's Unconstitutional!' hysteria by people who don't know diddly about the Constitution or the way it works in every other Nation on the planet.

Well, this isn't a rant and it provides a rational review of what is a unmitigated disaster. I'm a C&C fan and I won't be buying this one. I don't buy DRMed games, especially ones as horrible as this one. It's funny, you take the best and most loved franchises and you give us this sort of crap. Outstanding. But they are weaning me off of games, except for the old standbys I have my copies of. And of course, I'll be open to buying it when the DRM is legally stripped out of it.

That's what I do, if the game has crap DRM on it that's going to stop my computer from burning disks and other nonsense it's not going on my computer. I recently saw Civilization IV 'The Complete Edition' for sale and reading the back of the box it said in a nice yellow box "DRM Free. The Complete CIV IV experience with no Digital Rights Management limitations." - so I bought the game finally.
