I don't have the luxury to separate between computer room and bed room... so: 6 from the PC (another 4 can be turned off, so don't count), 8 from the router, 1 from the mobile HD, 1 from the UPS, 5 from the cable modem... it's a goddamn disco there

Yes, how dare they make a new product and sell it?! We'll teach them the hard way, and maybe they'll learn that they're just expected to go on supporting their old products, without shamelessly trying to make more revenue!

If the companies hadn't pushed 3D back then, the market for VGA's wouldn't have become bigger, and we would never have the technology we have today.
If you think that today's 3D AAA games are dumbed down, have a look at Dragon Age, Stalker or Dawn of War 2.

DemonBeaver writes "There has been a great uproar about Ubisoft's new DRM scheme lately, deemed uncrackable by the company, draconian and user-unfriendly by many gamers, since it requires a constant connection to their servers at any time, and boots you out of the game in case that connection drops.
One day after the release of Silent Hunter 5, the first game to implement the new scheme, it has been cracked."

That is true, but if each plane that is not shot down causes damage worth 5 million dollars (yeah, I know, they can't... just pointing out my intention), not to mention the cost in human lives, then it's perfectly logical to shoot them down with 3 million dollar missiles. Obviously, if there was a 10k alternative, that would be much better...

You shouldn't compare the price of the defense to the price of the weapon, but rather to the damage it can do.
