Until we start wondering why our honey is giving us a crazed, caffeine-infused high. Remember, honey is basically bee vomit. Also, if Red Bull gives you wings, what does it give bees?

Why not? It's been working for McAfee for 20 years now. I mean, the amount of fearmongering that the antivirus industry has perpetrated is staggering. True, they do it because it works--- Look at how the Freedom Act got passed after the 9/11 and terrorism fearmongering. If you make people afraid, and offer them a solution, many will meekly follow.

something changing his browser settings? And this made /. today? Is it THAT slow a news day in IT? Hell, if I wrote an article everytime something tried to change my browser settings, or install some search engine toolbar, I'd have to quit my job because I'd be writing articles all day.

Seriously, if I pay $50 for a game that takes me five hours to complete, I'm not just going to play through it again to unlock some shitty artwork. I want REAL meat and potatoes for my money, and more so if I'm going to keep playing it. I'm looking at you, The Simpsons Game. Sure, it's a couple years old, but I paid $50 for it when it first came out. The controls made the game nearly unplayable, but hell, the script was funny, so I persisted. I beat the game, and now it's been sitting on a shelf ever since. The point is that unlocking the stupid "cliches" and other assorted crap wasn't enough to make me ever want to play that game again. And this is an increasing attitude with game developers. To charge full price for a game that takes me only a couple of hours to beat, and then add "replay" value by telling me to spend a few more minutes collecting stupid crap so I can see lame sketches of the characters they made. Along with the attitude that it's okay to ship games out with insane bugs (lol Sims 3) as long as you plan on patching it later, game developers are taking their market for granted.

No, no one ever saw those movies.

I think that a culture that sells used schoolgirl panties out of vending machines (or anywhere, really) and makes video games where you have to seduce underage girls... well, I don't think hating the Russians is their biggest problem.

But my GOD. TLDR, much? And half of it is either pointless speculation, or stuff like "I don't actually KNOW the origin of..." Must be a slow news day in IT.

I bet their briefcases are filled with old newspapers, too.

28 out of 50? That's barely a majority. So, because 56% of the people who took contributions from the RIAA were Republican, the Democrats aren't in their pockets? Dude, 44% of the people who took contributions from them were Democrats.

Don't forget that part of their goal is expelling the souls of dead aliens from our bodies. Which is, of course, the true definition of sanity, not having dead alien souls in you.

If they had actually released a game or two in the last 13 years. :(

It's both real and fake, therefore it is a paradox. Doc Brown warned us about this. :( See y'all on the other side. :(

You can't boycott music sales. If you do, and the entire industry takes a financial hit, then they'll just claim piracy is on the upswing and causing them to take a financial hit. Kinda like how piracy is totally to blame for the entertainment industry's problems now, and not the fact that it keeps cranking out the same tired crap, or the fact that the economy is tanking and taking peoples' entertainment budget into the toilet with it.

it only took two hundred years to go from "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country," to, "eat my asshole." :(
