To think the same thing had happened back when Gamespy had bought out the Mplayer service.

The Mplayer client was functional for the era it was in. At the time my connection was rather crappy with dial up having to be the only way at the time and this was having large files be a pain do download with the speeds that were available in that part of town. Needless to say for some files, you could have made a large breakfast with all the fixings and eaten it before the file was done.

Most of the time I usually run either Opera and toss the domain of the offending advertisers and refresh. If I get something bugging me when I have Firefox up and running, I do the same thing with the bloody hosts file and redirect the bugger home.

Well could always call on one of the parties that would be willing to excise the mandatory DRM provisions from the law in the next federal election.

I would say it is time to retake the House of Commons from the Conservatives and give them a repeat of the Mulroney era dumping.

If that was the case, then someone might want to tell Gibeau to look at the back catalog and see what made the games fun. If the bloody moron thinks it happens to be graphics, then he should be forced to endure some games that were actually fun to play in either solo or multiplayer.

Anyone for locking him up in a room with a copy of M.U.L.E and one of the old respective platforms it was released on? Sure it would be a pain to do; but sometimes the ones who write the cheques for the developers need to actually try playing the games whilst they are in development as a test subject.

I think some of the old game coders & designers from the earlier eras could show Mr. Gibeau on what made the games fun. I'm not talking about unlimited resources to make another cookie cutter FPShitter either. They had limitations on what they could do; and I would give them a major salute for pulling off what they did with the resources of the era.

"It is the nineties and it is time for Klax" At least it isn't an outdated catchphrase like I just quoted. On the other hand, the gameplay was rather good for an arcade puzzle game.

Watch the FBI get their asses handed to them by a simple size and hash sequence.

Definitely need the Yakuza to start up a turf war with the MAFIAA. Or for someone to actually start getting the process running to make an actual grassroots effort to bring in a few more parties to the US to make it feasible.

Now all that's needed is a way to start returning the government to the real people. If not, you can always start telling the corporate lobbyists to live in the new oubliette that was created by converting one or more of the various abandoned mine shafts in the country for the purpose.

Methinks an anonymous Conservative coward. Shall we be seeing the disintegration of the tories by law or a physical rending? There are left wingers who would gladly see the PM get what is coming to him in the form of punishment. Crimes against humanity could likely be levied against Harper and cabinet in respect to the G20/G8 meetings.

I've heard that a few people would love to see Harper and company literally hanging for what they have done to the country. Personally I'd prefer Harper to stand before Madame Guillotine for her loving embrace if we cannot see him hanging from the Peace Tower.

Bad enough that one old punk song I had loved actually had the title as Kick Out the Tories. Where you find Tories, alas you find corruption of rights. I would say
Guy Fawkes is needed in this day and age. Right person, wrong era.

If I could, I'd either have modded you funny or insightful.

Does this mean in the future we will be working with net navis? Sorry but I couldn't help make a comparison to the Megaman Battle Network / Rockman.exe series. Bad enough if we wind up going into Ryuusei no Rockman/Megaman Star Force level of tech.

In this case, I'd be hoping Activision Blizzard wins. I believe there is enough prior art with that the patents are tossed in the shredder. Some of the old services like Compuserve or The Sierra Network be considered fair game as prior art as well.
