Parent is right.

I've lost out of more or less a generation of games.
I stopped pirating after in my last year of uni, then realized that the drm was too intrusive.
I'm stuck playing civ 4 (all expansions, all paid) and a few steam-games, like defcon, some hl-mods and portal.

DRM has basically been a wedge against cultural proliferation, and as such it sucks much more. I almost cry, when I realize that there are games, that I would love to play, but I just will not install them on my computer, due to digital rights management. Bioshock, spore, assasins creed 2, company of heroes, silent hunter 5 and many many more.

DRM is the reason i buy music anymore, i got a sony-infected cd and apparently hadn't turned off auto-play after adding a new dvd-drive.

the people who do install this fit the description:

Bunch of cocksuckers ramming their shit up our asses.

Because they deprive the world of cultural enrichment. They do so without regards to the fact that promoting cultural enrichment is the very reason they have copyright in the first place.

Seriously dude....

That's what happens when you convert from metric to imperial, round up, then convert back to metric.
It is shoddy journalism and very poor of the submitter not to catch it when copy pasting.

Hi kDawson.

Parent is not a troll, Korbeau is merely stating the obvious.

The $49 price is not the real price, but the difference between doing it one way, and doing it a different way, both with HORRIBLE subscription prices by european standards.

Early termination fees are a JOKE, especially with a size like that.
This whole story reeks of someone lacking their sense of judgement or deliberately ignoring it.

Yes, teH Nexus One is a nice phone, but

special status just means that people will file extra co-patents, so their existing patents can get special examiner status.
It might cost a little bit more, but to some companies, that will probably be peanuts, compared to the value of "special examiner"-status.

of course, more patent claims = more money for them, and since they can discard the co-pending patent, it means more money for a tiny bit of work.
