Wait wait hold on, what if I want to watch Homer unveil the 'Microsoft Monocle and Self-Driving Bentley'? I think you guys are on to something here

Have they ever thought about selling their unusable notes out for novelty purposes? I think it would spice up a good game of monopoly :)

Well that's kind of strange. I've seen headlines describing the advent of sex in space before but this is two guys doing it to each other? Not that there's anything wrong with that I mean...

Are we really calling illegal attacks on a companies' servers "cyber protest" now?

"Buster, you're gonna have to take another one for the team!"

Yeah, because you should take aggregate data from three whole samples seriously.

It's called "positive punishment", a very standard and accepted phrase in the studies of psychology and behaviorism. Does a kid that was spanked always become aggressive against his/her environment?

lol, the next thing you know you'll be paying taxes just to be able to own a TV!

Except for price, of course. My timely purchased 4890 does all I could ever want. :)

Hey calm down, if you pay attention to what EA's been doing lately, they're not as restrictive and all that as they were pegged out to be. An example is their Bad Company 2 game, which launched with SecuROM that they intended to (and did) remove two weeks after the game released. Even further than that, they're even coming out with a fully fledged expansion to that game in Vietnam. No pay for extra maps here, this is actualyl original content that wasn't stripped from the game. If you wanna bitch at a company so bad do it to Activision.

When you kinda grasp how they do it, it's not so hard.

If I'm looking at an ATI card with the number given as 5850, I know that it's part of the current generation ( 5### ) and is a pretty high end card card ( #850 ).

If I see 4350, I'll know it's from the previous generation of cards ( 4### ) and it is an entry level or HTPC card.

It's kinda hard to really know whether an ATI's 4650 is greater than a nvidea 9800GT though, but I think the real difficulty comes from trying to know how much a generation of cards improves from its last generation. (4350 vs 5350 for example)

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Are you implying there's a computer game that's completely unhackable?

How would they go about enforcing this? (article slashdotted) Are they going to block a family's internet connection because their one child will be playing during a different time? What if you have multiple children even?
