Well, at least now we know why they were so cagey about releasing the game earlier for reviewers or releasing a beta version.

Stop yer whinin'

It was your fault for believing the CEO of the company when he lied repeatedly to every forum that would interview his barefoot hipster ass. It's not HIS fault that YOU were gullible enough to believe him.

Jeez, people are so entitled these days.

Perhaps you missed the fact that this CEO is a *WOMAN*, which makes her a hero and an inspiration.

This is somehow all the evil male patriarchy's fault.

Unless you include the historical and social context. That context is critical. Then the sexism and racism are extremely apparent and completely logically consistent.

...according to Trump.

Putting aside the context mentioned elsewhere, it is profoundly unfair to discriminate against women at the workplace because of their biology. Today, women are denied jobs over the possibility of getting pregnant, or fired for getting pregnant. By contrast, men who father children frequently end up doing better in the workplace than before. By stating that this is an inconvenience to employers, Trump is stating that this unfair state of affairs should continue. That's unacceptable.

Yes, it was extremely racist. It was racist primarily because there was absolutely no basis in fact, and yet it was promoted as a major issue by certain conservative elements (including Trump) for many years. The racism in this issue was apparent in particular with how it was presented: people claimed, despite contradictory evidence, that he was born in Africa and was a Muslim, as if either condition disqualified him from being a US citizen (they don't: he still has a US citizen for a mother).

They always win every Presidential and Congressional debate.

Well, when I was 16-24yrs, I was into and enjoyed high fidelity stereo....my friends all did as well.

Er, not unless your parents and friends' parents were very well off, or all of them were in the military and bought their equipment duty-free in Asia you didn't. Before digital, in America a high fidelity stereo (let alone quadraphonic system) would cost your a couple grand.

I used to have an audiophile-quality system I bought stationed in Thailand, but it was stolen in a burglary. I have a pair of JBLs now, three way with twelve inch woofers. I miss my old stereo.

But I rip from YouTube occasionally, and rip from KSHE every Sunday night when they play six full albums. With Windows all it takes is Audacity and a setting in mmsys.cpl to capture a signal sent to your sound card, you don't need those goofs' web site.

I make CDs from KSHE's albums for the car, and they sound as good as factory CDs -- in the car. Their difference in quality in the house with the JBLs is marginal. It's a LOT better sound than a cassette recorded at home.

If you're in St. Louis (I'm not) you can plug your digital FM radio's "out" jacks into your computer's input jacks and you actually will have CD quality music.

The labels are fighting a losing cause.

Obama is not a sexless god, he's a eunuch.

People eat the center filling of the Oreo but then you're left with all that useless cookie no one wants. Give us less cookie, save money, and pass the savings on to us.

Maybe they should instead research how they can make revenue exceed expenses, since Uber is pissing money away at a phenomenal rate.

They've improved. It USED to be learning to use the BBC computer... the one used all over the world so long as it was in the UK.

Depends on whether they use the age reversing tech, see young Arnie in Terminator: Gensys or the young Bridges in Tron:Legacy.

These are some strange times we live in man, we got Elvis on tour with the TCB band via video, you have holograms bringing Ronnie James Dio and Tupac back from the grave, and you can have a 70 year old and his 28 year old self in the same scene interacting. Hell give it a couple more years and I really wouldn't be surprised if they put out a new movie with Marilyn Monroe or James Dean as that seems to be the direction we are headed.

So you are literally arguing that command prompts are magic? Or are you arguing that you cannot read?

Because you don't HAVE to use the GUI if you do not want to, you can just run the scripts straight from the folder and simply throw away the GUI if you want as all it is doing is simply editing a script called "update" that is in the parent folder right next to the GUI. Throw away the GUI and run the script, which again you can just open in any editor and guess what? It does exactly what the GUI does, installs the updates with the conditional flags you chose. The options you choose? Again all just basic scripts with easy to read descriptors like "install DotNET" "InstallOfficeUpdates" and "MakeLogFile" and anyone who can read even the most basic script can read these quite easily as they are all laid out in classic "if this then that" script language with no attempts at any obfuscation.

So I'm sorry but now you are either just trying to sling FUD or you honestly do not understand how virii work and think computers are magical black boxes that some boogeyman can wave a wand and create a bug. Scripting is something anyone with any kind of IT knowledge or support background is not gonna have any trouble reading, the websites being called to download the updates are the Windows Update site owned by MSFT so unless MSFT gets their own update servers pwned there is no issue there, and once you have downloaded the updates no network or third party programs or even the GUI itself is required as it is simply manually installing Windows Updates from a command line.

Does this count the huge numbers that took the free upgrade, found they didn't like it (or just wanted to lock in the upgrade) and then went back? Does this count units sold to stores but not through to end users?

This is why I don't buy the numbers put out by companies, there is just too many ways they can manipulate the data to make it look bigger than the actual figures indicate.
