sure, but there is always a time that precedes the knowledge of the sale.
if you want something during that time you just buy it full price (if you deem the price right).
the parent actually stated he is less likely to buy some kind of product again if he experiences the disappointment of a full price purchase somewhat close to a sale.
this can be true of just about any product, more so downloadable games which seem to be constantly on sale on rotation.
following that logic you eventually should stop buying everything.

I'm not sure I understand this logic.
It is like buying something at the store the day before they start a sale.
Does that make you less likely to buy things in stores?

it took a few seconds to hit me.
fabulous.

I am Italian, you insensitive clod!

I hate you.
you described exactly how I feel about Blizzard games.
they just suck, but it's deliciously sweet sucking, and I need it.
I think heroin addiction must feel something like this.

are you telling me you believe singleplayer games are multiplayer games without the other players?
you should play more, I mean different games.

No.
A growing number of independent commercial games are released multiplatform (win,mac,lin) and with no DRM whatsoever.
Frictional Games, Basilisk Games, 2D Boy just to name a few publishers.
I am beginning to make it my policy to avoid DRM entirely.

wasn't the internet conceived to allow the american military to keep communication lines open even in the face of a catastrophic event?
now they want to kill it on purpose?

TFA is misleading as well, but the italian article it refers to actually says that those under investigation are members of the Major Risks Committee itself.
What transpired is that the Committee was pressured by the government to give false reassurance *in spite of* indication of serious danger.
The documentary Draquila gives a good account of these events.

still the grandparent has a valid point.
patenting medical research is a potential impediment to saving lives.

organisms adapt to local diet.
film at 11.

he already took many lessons from him.
I only wish he also learned to duck, 'cause now he's more popular then ever.

I watched an analysis of the last few moments leading to the aggression.
It's surprising how the whole security team spectacularly failed at protecting him.
The aggressor had several seconds to actually take aim from a few feet away.
This is a little beyond incompetent. I'm not sure how far beyond...

The only certainty is that this event did wonders for his falling popularity.
Here in Italy everybody is cheering for him at the moment.

I can tell that you, sir, are not currently living in Italy.
To us Murdock is now a beacon of freedom and independent journalism!
Really!!
