DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War 598

carlmenezes writes "It seems that the DRM on the PC version of Gears of War came with a built-in shut-off date; the digital certificate for the game was only good until January 28, 2009. Now, the game fails to work unless you adjust your system's clock. What is Epic's response? 'We're working on it.'"

How does the Department of Education play an important role exactly? When I first read Ron Paul's views on educations, I thought "wow, this guy doesn't like education?" However, I've learned that since the inception of the Department of Education, educational standards have only decreased while higher education has become less affordable. Seriously, why is it that educational costs have skyrocketed (beyond the rate of inflation) over the past 20-30 years? Hmm...

We have ourselves one worthless government agency.

And isn't it creepy that our government dictates learning curriculum anyways?

I want a president that will either fix our welfare state (super democrat), or just get rid of the shit that's broken (super conservative).

As a supporter of Ron Paul, I'm well aware of his determination to enforce privacy on the Internet, and was curious if anyone else comes close to competing with him in that regard."
