Comment The internet is now like a telephone. (Score 1) 563

Everybody must now assume you have it. It's 2010, the "e-mail address" field is in a lot of forms you fill out on paper. I guess we've finally reached an age where it's assumed you have an internet connection in the same way it's assumed you have a phone number. Guess the thinking is, "validate your copy online, or don't play." Why bother? Someone's going to crack it. Do what you did in the past Blizzard ... allow local registration, and if duplicate keys are found on battle.net, refuse online play. This worked well in the past, and hell, I even bought a copy of Starcraft. ;)

Comment They are still who they were then (Score 1) 458

Obviously those that chose to stand up for themselves in terms of being bullied at a young age, are different, than those that did not. This study is nonsense. There's a core difference in personalities between the two types, so it's natural for the results to be different years later in terms of social maturity. While our environment is a strong influence as far as our inner being is concerned, we are all born with a core set of personalities and social demeanor that only change moderately based on experience. All this tells is is that those that "had it in them" to stand up for themselves in their childhood, continue to "have it in them" later in life. Some people, regardless if they are harmed or not, do not have it in them to "return hostility" in childhood or adult life. All this proves is that the two personality types have continued down the road of maturity with their core emotions/personalities intact, as expected.

Comment BEAT HAZARD! (Score 1) 256

The opening game should be Beat Hazard if this manages to come together. :) How I've become so addicted to this Asteroids like Steam game that produces "levels" based on your individual mp3 tracks with pulsating visual feedback effects to nearly give anybody a seizure. Welcome Steam!

Comment Incoming Apple sledge hammer! (Score 1) 280

I seriously hope this guy doesn't get pwned like the poor Psystar people :P I can't imagine Apple appreciates anybody using their hardware openly anymore than they appreciate people using their software openly on PCs. I'll cross my fingers and see where this goes!
