True, I guess it's not pronounced 'mooks' then.

Correction: The word is you not u. You are the one with brain rot it appears. You should find a MOOCS for English.

You don't have to buy the product with DRM.

You dont get to buy products with DRM, they are rental only.

Except, if we all get modified the same ways with regards to diseases etc, 'natural selection' will then wipe us all out at the same time.

I don't know why your post is modded up. You imply that revenues = profit which is of course incorrect, they could easily be operating at a loss in the entertainment and devices division regardless of revenue.

$611 billion is not that bad at all relative to Canada's GDP. USA, UK and many European countries have a far worse ratios of Debt to GDP.

It's not a good point, if the packets were lost the first time round then they should simply be resent.

Because some people spend all day adding their commentary to the videos and they wish to be paid for that commentary. I think that's fair. They paid for the game, and the gamer videos double up as advertisements.

Programmers should know better, most of what is discussed in this thread is 'mis-addressed' not 'mis-delivered', as far as I'm concerned mis-delivered is when something gets delivered to an address that is not on the post.

Post going to the address written on it = correctly delivered.

Government is a giant extortion racket with the same moral principles as organized crime.

I think you're being a bit hard on organised crime there.

Actually, given that you could extrapolate most people's identities from the data mentioned (postcode, gender and age), this sale would be illegal under EU data protection laws.

Try reading EU data protection laws sometime, we cant sign away our rights here.
