    EA Wants $10 to Unlock Online Multiplayer For Used Games

    Actually, this looks awesome for families who game together. One copy and $10 per extra player. Much cheaper than one copy per player.

    Fixing Power Lines Using A Helicopter

    Actually that's the safest way to insert the line spreaders without immediate shock death of painness. The larger power lines generate so much magnetic field (perpendicular to the electricity) that they attract each other, thus spreaders are needed to keep them apart. You can't just put a...

    Google Street View Image of the Day

    Followed it all the way back to where it first fell in. I assume they had to manually remove it. http://maps.google.com/maps?source=embed&layer=c&cbll=42.363421,13.362673&cbp=13,321.05,,0,-30.8&ie=UTF8&panoid=a0ThhcOez2z9OukpgtEE9g&ll=42.363507,13.362688&spn=0,359.998063&z=19

    Nvidia and ATI should be worried?

    Most companies make their games to work on the most popular console, then port it to the other platforms, then port it to the PC. Is it really a surprise that games made for a consistent, non-upgradable platform are simple on a more complex, upgradable platform?

    Because Microshaft has the $$$ to pay off the regulatory agents.

    Microsoft Says Tax Would Move Jobs Offshore

    Microsoft's comments that they'll have to leave the country would be a little more believable if they didn't say it everytime Congress considers a law that they don't like.

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Sorry to burst your bubble on this one, but GfW (Games for Winblows) is just a logo. It means that the publisher paid Microshaft to use their GfW label. And worse yet, that first game that EA was going to release with this crap on it, Bioshock, was a GfW game, the first one if I remember...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Again, preach it brother! It's hard enough to keep a PC safe without companies with which you have legitimate business attacking it. They offer what they say is a SecuRom removal tool on their site, but considering it's extremely hard to verify that it's gone, how much can you actually believe...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Yeah, tell me about it. I'm tempted to buy the game even though I'd probably not play it much because I don't like the genre.

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    <sarcasm>Yeah, because when Microsoft (or another company) bought FASA (or another company) they kept making Mechwarrior and Battletech RPG products (or other products).</sarcasm> Very few purchases of IP are engaged in so the company can continue support on an already discontinued game. If...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Exactly, most chains that are now called Gamestop tried doing used PC games a while back. The problem was that without DRM, people would just burn a copy and keep the CD-Key, thus making the original worthless to the next guy, who would return it for a refund, and the store would be out the...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Pffft... Look here, whippersnapper... I quit buying games from EA when they had crappy support for their BF1942 product. And then they started buying up all their competitors, which is quickly dwindling away my selection of games.

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Yeah, cause there's such a huge market for used PC games. That's a load of last-ditch PR bull and they know it. They never would have said that a month before release, but now that it sounds better than the truth (that they want you to buy another copy when you've used up your installs)...
