Why do people still live there again? Seriously though, I wonder what the morale of people who live there is like? Do they all hate it but have nowhere else to go, or are they just culturally complacent with their rights being trampled on?

Anyone who has already purchased one of these games, or who receives a copy from someone who has, has the right to demand this now.

Let me know how that goes for you.

Seriously. These assholes oughta be ashamed of themselves.

The world is now driven by greed my friend. Logic has no place in it anymore. Nothing happens by logic anymore, it all happens because it makes someone richer.

Fix the problems, not the symptoms. I worked in a similar situation for almost 3 years. When I first started, it was the same, printers jammed, machines frozen, virus infestations, generally someone's hair was always on fire. It being a nonprofit, there really was no IT budget, but money would be available every once in awhile. I made a list of thorns in my side, and what was needed to buy when the money was available. I consolidated printers to a could of networked copy machines (which were managed and serviced by a local company, that was a bonus), spent an hour here and there getting enterprise wide virus control deployed, and prioritized freezing machines to be upgraded. By the time I had left that job there was not much work beyond routine maintenance I had to do.

People actually see ads?

Couldn't you go the other way with it as well and basically have a homebrew mocap system?

Amen to that. Tiger Direct is where people go until they discover newegg and where only idiots stay after they've discovered newegg.

Sounds useless, but to answer the question - using the power switch could cause file system corruption.

All the better. If the kid would have listened in the first place their console wouldn't be a brick.

After months and months of good behavior and begging, maybe they get a new console. You can bet the next time you tell them to turn it off, if they have half a brain, they'll listen

Yeah, I was going to say, did anyone else feel bad for it when that guy kicked it? My initial reaction was 'Well that wasn't very nice.'
