As all attempts to make a game suitable for all types of gamers have failed, this is generally a bad idea. For instance, in the competitive gameplay, the one where you attain ranks, this may provoke people that play casually to start playing hardcore, or turn casual players away from the gametype all together, since they will never attain as high of a rank as a person who spends all night on the game. While this is a novel concept, it's generally doomed to fail as it has the potential to either pull many people into the hardcore style, or push a lot of them away.

It's about time people are held responsible for what their legitimate software does. I'm actually quite curious though. Does the judge really have sense, or is he tired of hearing about cases like this?

As long as there are modders, hackers, pirates and nerds, people WILL find a way to pirate copyrighted material. And, since theyve made it an all digital format now, simply buying the software off the online store for the PSP Go HAS to save it SOMEWHERE into the device. Otherwise, it's unlikely that you'd have access to the game without some sort of WiFi. Now, being that the data is now in your possession, it's just a matter of cracking into the data files and extracting the game or whatever. Well done Sony, well done.

Gills could be useful...

Really though, this could be deemed unethical. But then again, societies advance based on unethical things. For instance, the Nazis provided a lot of medical knowledge because of unethical research. Not saying it was right, but we would be behind the power curve.

Are they saying they can "program" the human genetic code and create an improved species? Or that they can grow body parts? Because either way, cybernetics is sure to follow in this field footsteps.

I don't believe I said Linux is a shitty OS. I merely stated that Linux isn't as established for gaming as Windows is. But, it's ok, I'm not getting pulled into your flamebait.

Even if it was, the algae has, by now, evolved slightly. Different genetics = different qualities for medicine. Besides, algae has been a speculated source of clean energy for a while now. The old stuff is irrelevant now, as all we have is the new stuff. Good try though.

Ok, when I purchased a new notebook from ibuypower, it came with Vista 64-bit, and a free coupon to upgrade to Win7 64-bit. Even if I have to pay $17 to have it shipped to me, who cares? I just got a free licensed copy of Win7 64-bit. Definitely beats paying $120-$200 on the same thing at Best Buy or Walmart. Besides, hidden fees on free things are old news.

How is this trolling? I kept it on topic, and I'm not after responses. Stars.

Honestly, I think we get a little too hyped about this prehistoric stuff. I mean, if this was 65 million years ago, you will never truely know what was going on unless you invent a time machine. Yes, I know, they've scientifically proven that a celestial body did indeed impact the Earth, and yeah, a bunch of stuff died. Now, take these intelligent human beings that study prehistoric times. Given the fact that it actually requires an abundance of gray matter to figure stuff like this out, as well as a lot of time to do the research and field work, these individuals could easily be tasked to do something important. Something like finding a way to replace gasoline effectively, or curing cancer. Just an opinion, but probably off topic. At any rate, algae and bacteria are obviously going to bounce back faster than everything else. They are simple organisms. Algae may not be single celled, but it's a hell of a lot simpler than a fish. Just an observation.

If Apple wins this, then I suggest they sue Fruit of the Loom, for not only implying Apple in the name, but also using an apple in the fruit bowl. Steve Jobs is a tool if he thinks this is legitimate.

Oddly enough, I still remember this. Steve Jobs is the new Bill Gates.
