RtCW, CD keys, Piracy & Copyright

And now for another take ... Free, I don't want to call you a fanboy, but I think your opinion may be tainted by history ;-) All three of my early xbox adopter friends who all love both shooters *and* console-style RPGs thought the Halo story was …

Darn, for a minute there... I thought that title "Myth 3 for Mac - 29.95" meant that Myth 3 was negative 29.95. I'd "pay" that for it. _/ C RtCW, CD keys, Piracy & Copyright

Wow. It just keeps getting better! The rabid anti-copyright poster is now getting gang banged by a couple of lawyers ... the linguistic sparring is a sight to behold! _/ C RtCW, CD keys, Piracy & Copyright

Re: Curious: why mozilla over netscape 6.2? (Quote) Memory footprint. The reason I'll never use Netscape or Mozilla over the alternatives is that all that cross platform nonsense has a huge runtime cost. (4-5x the resident size of IE on OS X, for ex…

Re: Curious: why mozilla over netscape 6.2? (Quote) I'd agree if there were a great difference in features... but from what I've seen, NS6.2 is rock solid, *and* looks a hell of a lot better than Mozilla. On OS X at least. I'll have to check 'em out…

Curious: why mozilla over netscape 6.2? Aren't they effectively the same? I tried mozilla for about ten seconds before I decided its UI sucked too much posterior for me to continue using it. _/ C WebTV Viewer

Not really a serious suggestion, but interesting... See how the "other" half lives with the MSNTV emulator. Surprisingly enough, Yahoo! Personals at one time had MORE WebTV users than Macintosh users!!! That has declined recently for vari…

Legal (ahem) Mumbo Jumbo (long) I'd like to continue baiting Bloodrain but only in one place ... (Quote) Yeah, I knew as soon as I posted that that I probably didn't get the definitions spot on... my heart was in the right place, though. ;-) (Quote…

Here's the crux of the Myth 3 problem, and the reason why you don't have a leg to stand on if you try to file a class action against Take Two. Those of you who are supporting the fraudmongers, take a look at the license you agreed to when you opene…

Vaporware ... not! (Quote) Myth 3 is not vaporware. It's on the shelves. It's for sale. People have bought it, and are "playing" it (if you can call running a program and having it crash without your doing anything unusual "play"…

NO. It is WRONG for a company to intentionally release a product that does not do what it claims. In the real world, we call that "fraud". Fraud is a felony. Fraud perpetrated across state lines in the United States is called "racket…

Don't buy it... Unless you want to encourage game publishers to continue pushing unfinished titles out the door to make their company financials look good. Be a responsible capitalist. Don't buy Myth 3. Encourage everyone you know to not buy Myth …

It's time to stop supporting game publishers that push software out the door before it's finished. Be a responsible capitalist. Vote with your dollars. Don't buy software from fast-buck operators. Do yourself and the gaming industry a favor. Don't …

Re: I disagree (Quote) Reductio ad absurdum: Have an opinion about something over which you have no power to effect change? Shut your trap. (Quote) I agree. There's been a lot of attack and not a lot of substance, if you ask me. "clearly a num…

Re: I think this may have been to prevent people 'fixing' their Macs. (Quote) Quality-wise, my experience with Real has always been better than with Media Player. Maybe that's just cos of what I was watching (no, not digitized circa-50's-era stag fi…

Re: I think this may have been to prevent people 'fixing' their Macs. (Quote) Amen to that. I have yet to experience a Microsoft media technology which was superior in any way to a contemporary technology developed by anyone else. They're being ri…

Not to rain on Apple's parade, but ... I had to giggle just a bit when I saw their note (in red italic text): Note: This issue affects only users of Internet Explorer on Windows. In other words... Note: This issue affects only 80% of web browser…

Re: Huh ? (Quote) I wouldn't call Covad or Northpoint small fry... Unless your definition of small fry is "anything smaller than a multinational corporation". Which is what it is beginning to take to be successful in the ridiculous econom…

This is why Georgio is a gazillionaire... and we are not. Pure marketing genius. What better way to drum up early buzz for the picture than to give it a controversial name? "there ain't no such thing as bad press" _/ C p.s. of course,…

My quoting error (Quote) That's what I meant to say ... Santa is neither ranting nor foolish, because the Apes trailers & print ads set expectations for a tense action movie. I meant to refer to his expectations, not the silly tv show bit. ...k…
