It's like going from hotmail to gmail back when it launched.
It's sleek, doesn't get in the way, lets you do things easily. You manage your "friends" easily.
Hell, it's one service I wouldn't have any issue adding my boss and co-workers to, unlike facebook.
As a bonus, I don't get people posting asinine idiocies on my wall. Sure they can get me to eyeball their crap by mentionning me in their posts, but at least it won't bother everyone else who reads the things I write.

Yes, we do go back and buy.
You have bought a legitimate license for EVERY SINGLE GAME you've ever downloaded/copied illegally?
Oh, the nice fallacy of the indivisible middle... "we do go back and buy", he said, not "we do go back and buy EVERY SINGLE TIME".
Now, if you're interested as to when, there's crap games, there's "meh" games not worth the money they're sold for and there's nice games. Those are the ones that are gone back for...

"You can put whatever you want on it, front or back."
Hmmm.... it's a good thing he didn't say "and", or if I was the instructor I would have said "Nice try, but logically your exam assistant can't be on the front *and* the back of the paper at the same time".
Simply fold the paper in a moebius strip (or, more simply, fold back 2cms)

As a physicist, I do get a bit annoyed at the constant attacks on string theory in public media.
Let me just state a few points please:
If you complain at string theory, then PLEASE state what you are proposing. What is the use in complaining when you have no alternative?
What kind of scientist are you? It doesn't matter if I can offer an alternative suggestion or not.
The use of "complaining" is to determine the validity of the theory. You can't test it, you can't determine if it's true. Simple enough for you?
If I were to say that invisible pink unicorns like small massive objects, you'd have every right to tear my suggestion apart without having to offer an alternative, that's the way it works...

Celvin, Really? Its Kelvin dumb ass. At least spell it right if you want to be a smart ass lol.
I have not the words. I think the only appropriate reaction is to give you a condenscenting backpat and walk away without a word.
It's "condescending", dumb ass (now where's my backpat?)

What about the distribution part?
There was no evidence of her acting as a distributor. That would have required proof that she -disseminated copies -to the public -by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by a rental, lease or lending. There was no proof of any of those.
That's not what I was asking. I haven't checked the case, my question was wether there's a limit to monies awarded for the distribution.
The fact that the jury found her guilty of that despite the absence of proof really sucks, however the summary says the monies were awarded "for stealing and illegally distributing", hence my question.
