I am sure the the Slashdot console-buying population who don't already own a PS3 is only a small grain of sand in the whole world of people who buy gaming consoles. Even if 100% of them were really boycotting Sony I am not sure it would register in the bigger picture.

Yeah... In the same way if you have to use analytics tools and measure how your enterprise is doing and get suggestions from experts, then you are probably already beyond help. </sarcasm>

These skies are friendly with benefits.

As both an Amazon Prime subscriber and a Netflix user, I can tell you that Amazon Prime's selection of movies is very, very limited and has been since they first introduced the service. Now, the other perks are very nice and I am happily paying for them but as far as streaming goes Netflix is miles and miles ahead.

Interestingly enough GTA, which she complained about, gave us CJ (that's a lot more skin than you get by drinking hot coffee).

We can only hope...

Saying that SC2 is just a competition for execution of build orders is a lot like saying that chess is only a competition on memorization of openings.

But you can only do that if you are sure your program and DRM code are both 100% bug-free. Wouldn't want to start the lawsuit and then find out that it was actually a bug in your DRM code that was enabling the buggy behavior in an honest reviewer's copy of your program. Most people would consider adding code that is intentionally broken to be a bad idea, not in the world of DRM, though. And even if you could somehow sue all the reviewers in the world who pirated your program and posted bad reviews you still have word of mouth. Unless you also plan to sue everyone in the world who is speaking ill of your program.

You are basically killing a house fly with a bazooka and blowing yourself up in the process

And you will be in for a ton of fun. I had a problem with Half Life 2 where the AI turned off automatically. The root cause was that, for some reason, Half Life 2 was thinking I pirated the game. After contacting Steam I was received with a "boo hoo! Pirates cannot play" response and mockery in the public forums. It took me weeks to get help from someone in Steam who, after being shown proof of purchase, finally resolved my problem.

Non-surprisingly The Orange Box was the first and last Steam game I buy

Well, she treated it in the same way she would have treated any similar hazard:

"Hey guys, mud was just thrown to windshield LOLOLOL, will slow down once I finish updating my FB sta---"

Bing? Oh God, Glenn Beck is evil!!

Space Quest Collection works perfectly fine in a modern computer running Windows 7 x64, even the timing is better than it used to be in my 486. Internally it seems to be using DOSBox.

From TFA:

Phew! Good thing they exemplified, at first I was thinking "private parts" meant their motherboards.

I recently purchased the Space Quest collection at Amazon, which contains the six Space Quests for half the price I found them in GOG.com

The CEO of iFixit talks about how evil Apple is for changing the screws in their iPhone, but thankfully his company has a solution, a $10 USD "liberation kit" which liberates you from the evil hands of Apple by selling you a pentalobular screw driver for three times its normal cost. Gee, thanks!
