I'm pretty sure I saw that in Captain America: Winter Soldier last night. Now they just need to get it flying! :)

Not that anyone has been warning about DRM linked to servers being a failure. I wonder how much they are going to be sued for?

Did I miss where the USA added a new territory or state recently? I'm sorry, while the US does like to keep airbases in other countries, we don't invade them and force the area the airbase or navel base is in to join our country as a full territory..

The best sign that Russia is BSing about this expansion is that it only took them a week to get a 'referendum' through their proxies, while it usually takes years or decades for it to happen civilly.

They were over-reaching and taking too much power. They proved that they were corrupt and were not doing much other than infringing on American (and our Allies)'s rights.

They need to be pruned back and learn that we do no live in a fascist state.

Really, some of those leaders who lied under oath should be facing prison time.

Because they should be being asked this. And wondering about this. And even at times saying 'no, this is too far'.

They settled so fast out of court is was not even slightly funny.

Marvel essentially tried to sue City of Heroes out of existence because of its character creator. Then their lawyers decided to get cute and made their own characters with Marvel's IP. (I think it was Hulk, Captain America and a couple others).

The City of Heroes creators proved this and Marvel suddenly settled out of court in a sealed contract.

People don't understand people most of the time.

And we 'understand' a lot harder concepts than computers do.

Because buying an electronic edition for twice the cost of a used 'good as new' copy of a book is _incredibly_ dumb. Baen was actually charging the exact same amount for an electronic copy of David Weber's new book as the hard cover.

For some reason, all the prices on new ebooks have jumped to $10 to $18 or so, at the minimum. So pretty much all of the prices are highway robbery.

Like that talking to someone in the car is just as bad as talking on the cell phone, something I find unlikely.

Bad drivers will be bad.

Now texting, that takes your eyes off the road (and idiots that stop in the middle of the road to make a left turn across double-yellow lines too close to an intersection) is bad.

Oh, look. They want to pay him and his attorneys a lot of money! Great 'retirement' option!

Idiots.

... right at my computer and before I see it if there is any (to a .0001%) chance that your ad might send malicious software (including tracking cookies/flash objects) to my computer or if they are so intrusive that I can't read/watch what I'm there to do.

If you don't want to police your ads, that's not my fault. You are the ones abusing people.

We are just not standing for that abuse.

So go away.

I ran into a nasty 'ad-captcha' that was at least 10 seconds long before it would give the option to 'solve' the captcha. All the time an inane, loud commercial played for something I would never buy.

Yeah, great job annoying people even _more_.

What I see happening is that very few people actually buy new games and most only buy the 'gold edition' or one or two year old version of games.

After all, I already do this with Steam and on my PS2 for digital only games.

Wasn't this going to use a ring you wear on your finger? I thought I saw that in another article today from Google.

IBM is a 'service company' these days. That means they basically run call centers. So IBM having a lot of people in India is not surprising nor even an amazing fact.
