My Wii isn't on the internet and has never wanted to update. All the games have worked from the shop without wanting to update anything, including Wii Fit and Mario Kart.

Only 50% of people work? I didn't think unemployment was that high yet!

My Vista install was for 3 months and was SP 1 after they had a chance to fix things. My Win 7 install has been for 6 months and was better than Vista straight away. It is also better than XP by a mile, and plays Fallout 3, which Ubuntu doesn't. So, at least for me, my preference for Windows 7 is based on real reasons.

I lot of young teenagers can't afford 8 copies of a game (close to $800) just to have an afternoon's entertainment together. Having one guy own it still being able to play with his friends at home when they come to visit is a much better idea. The way Warcraft 2 and Starcraft allowed 'spawn' copies to join a Lan game without a CD so long as one or two players had the CD was a great idea. 2 purchases meant 8 players could play lan, much more affordable. Maybe we'll just have to go play monopoly instead...

Now we just need brain activated laser cells.

Yes. Move to Australia. All they want is two credit cards.

They won't ever release it all for $20. Sims 2 still costs over $300 to get all the expansions.

I own a laptop with windows to play Fallout 3, Civ 4, etc. Until Linux is Windows, I have no use for it.

didn't NVIDIA already make one for gaming?

so... why not get the alpha and play with it?

Except that Sid games are generally good.

Regardless of whether climate change is affecting bushfires, the bushfires will affect the climate. Put enough ash high in the air and we could cool the planet.

Just went down to EBGames, they don't even have it on the shelf any more.

(They've basically only got Deadspace and Sims 2)

A free expansion!

I'll have to go buy the game now.

In the UK all contracts must be negotiable in order to be legally valid. I don't know about the US but it basically means that both parties must have an opportunity to edit the contract and must then both agree to it.

Most EULAs are text files that can be freely edited. Sometimes you have to use Universal Extractor to unpack the installer before you can edit it. Then simply use Notepad to change it as you see fit, run the installer and agree to it. If the software accepts your modified contract, all is well.
