No wonder people pirate when the game is advertised at â6.49 but they don't mention until you come to pay that this is without sales tax! It actually costs â7.85.

Yes. A very good suggestion. I use that little, but very important 'i' when ever I know which prefix I'm using. Some software even does it too.
Comment SXGA or just XGA (Score 1) 266
My favourite is either SXGA or just XGA. I certainly won't tolerate anything wider than 4:3
Comment Re:Why even use installers... (Score 1) 338
Because they're better. With package manager it is usually "use this old version" or "compile from source". On occasion you get the rare third option of "add this repository of compiled binaries to your package manager" which is no different to downloading a random installer.

I tried it once and then stopped using it straight away when I saw that fraps was trying to render a frame rate on its windows. I'm fine with my Firefox 3.6

19,000 Emails Against and 0 In Favor of UK Draft Communications Bill 174
Qedward writes "Open source writer Glyn Moody discusses the Draft Communications Bill (aka Snooper's Charter) in the UK and how the Joint Parliamentary Committee that had been considering the bill received almost 19,000 emails during its consultation period. He notes: 'Out of 19,000 emails received by the Committee on the subject of the proposed Draft Communications Bill, not a single one was in favor of it, or even agreed with its premise. Has there ever been a bill so universally rejected by the public in a consultation? Clearly, it must be thrown out completely.'"

"That isn't a DRM measure, it's due to the tight integration of multiplayer..."
Its nice that they can claim a legitimate sounding reason for it but it still sounds like DRM to me. The proof will be what happens when you cannot contact their servers while playing. If you get kicked out of the game then it is DRM!
