To speculate, the smokescreen would be planned obsolescence. Appliances used to be built to last 20 years. Now you're lucky to get a year out of most of them. This is by design. Software is now running with the same baton. Since it's not physical, they have to break it intentionally somehow. Develop...
Spore comes with SecuROM. If that's not a reason to not buy it, I don't know what is. I had a perfectly running OS with 30-odd games installed. I'm talking nintendo emulators, Duke Nukem side scroller, Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom(s), D1/2/3, Unreal 1/2, UT1/2/3, (Can you understand the sheer a...

Would 20 years be considered reasonable?flip wrote:"Lord I'd like to believe but I have skepticism and doubt. I would like for you to help me believe if it is that you really exist."
Give it a reasonable amount of time.

Don't know, wasn't there. People have helped me before without a word from me. They observed, or caught clues, and were nice, helpful people. Personally, I've done the same thing as someone did for you. I don't like taking credit for doing things for others, and I would not want to embarrass the per...

And many, many other dogs, who are just as deserving, die of starvation every day. Your story is in the far minority. Shouldn't the ratio be reversed? Obviously, some nice person cared, and helped. That's why it was on your porch. If it was a god, the food would be in your house, on your table eh? W...

PA changed to 18. I support it, kids at 16 are stupid behind the wheel. They should get driver's ed, a permit, and such at 16, however, and they can practice at school and with parents for two years. The system as it stood was, you turn 16, you take a crappy little test (that apparently only 1 out o...
It's not a calculated risk, it's lunacy. The game was cracked before it was released. Every game that has been released has been cracked either before release or by the weekend. Why is it that the people who crack it get to enjoy the game at it's fullest, while people who buy it get harassed, shut o...

Total hogwash. Anne Graham is a moron. Newsflash: THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. When is this going to sink in? The Bible does not belong in schools or the government. PERIOD. Neither does the Koran, the Gold plates (or whatever the Mormons fairy tale is). None of it belongs in the State. This foo...

Samsung and Viewsonic. Those are the best of the established companies, and have had a long history of quality. I have three Samsungs and two Viewsonics, and I wouldn't recommend anything else for that price range. Warning: If you go widescreen, you are going to hate the 1440x900 rez. It's awfully l...

Oh yes, forgot about that one, Spooks. I never use the term, so it's inference slipped by. It's inaccurate at it's base, as that is slang, the proper wording would be to criticize, condescend, demean, humiliate, etc.. someone. That still does not make 'fun' a sin. It is irrational. And illogical. Re...

Wierd, I am full of peace. This is only broken when having to deal with religion and NJ drivers. I also like the word sin. Means a lot of fun. Some of that fun is watching the religious get all Springer about it, even though it impacts on their life not a speck. (Did you know the blessed book states...

I would be interested. I don't really like the software, PC-based encryption setups where you have to have the software installed on all the machines. A hardware solution such as this would be a much better option. The cap looks like it doesn't snap on in some way. Every cap on my OCZ drives have be...
