Comment They're just trading numbers for words (Score 1) 135

They're dropping numbers in favor of words. So the review system is completely in place. What was nice was when game magazines had three people review a game, usually one in depth and two smaller reviews. You could see in the mag which authors preferred what kinds of games and then with their reviews you could be like, oh I always like Bobs reviews, his reviews line up well with what I like. The personalization is gone with all the meta reviews.

Which doesn't make sense, how can they run a machine like this legally, that's like me putting an antenna up at fort meade and going, "No, no, it's ok, there's no expectation of privacy," all while I link to and download all the information people and equipment on the base are sending. I'd go right to jail.

Comment Windows 10 is free (Score 1) 191

The OS is being released for free, or free to Win 8 users. I can't remember the stipulations. And I think Office is free for the first year, then some sort of subscription. Subscriptions are the way of the future, soon you'll download office then to unlock more options it's a subscription or a micro transaction.

Comment Re:Be careful how you define Troll (Score 1) 467

It's the feel good society we live in, no one needs to hear an opinion that differs from theirs. People with different opinions or views are "trolls" according to many people. It all goes back to people being told they can't be racist or whatever. Sure you can, it's your right to think however you want, whenever you want. You also have the right to say whatever you want or print whatever you want. The only thing you can't do is use that speech or writing to incite violence (even though that's exactly what our fouding fathers did). But long ago the people that got in charge told everyone else that if they don't think like them they're wrong and they're the problem. It always goes like that. New group comes to power, their ideals are thrust upon you. People that are PC are the worst, they want you to believe that thinking different is wrong.
