If they dont have a demo then we dont have to buy their game. I know I wont buy a game unless I can play/test it first. Since 99% of game stores frown upon you trying out a game and returning it for your money back, the demo is the only real option. If you look at PS3's store and even XBox market place, the demos are always among the top downloaded items. You remove those demos and I bet the sales on most games will go down.

Or, perhaps aliens picked up x-files on their space ships and are fans of the show. It being a fox show they of course had to get closer to earth to adjust their antenna for better picture quality.

I would love to see a remake of Clouds/Darkside of Xeen. MM4 and MM5 were two of the best RPG's ever made.

Keir Thomas obviously doesn't know how to search google for "Linux criticism"... There's a lot of critics of Linux if you look for them. The thing is most Linux users don't really care what someone else thinks about Linux.

Regardless of it being a harmless April fools joke, Symantec is probably all ready working on a "Smiley Face Blocker".... And people will buy it...

I remember when slashdot was about enjoying the articles and not about grinding for achievements. What lengths will you go to to keep your subscribers? Whats next? An Item Shop or Auction house? I hope Slashdot 2 doesnt include this unneeded grind!
