  1. IANAL, but I suppose they would be. The thing is no-one has taken the company to court ... yet, and then there is a little thing called a EULA which may indemnify them from any potential damage etc. The best way is a boycott of their products. Clarification: The EULA in regards to the game, and as Starforce may be viewed as part of the product. It all depends on how a real court would view the interpretation of such. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Contract law cannot contravene the laws of the country in which the contract is drawn. You cannot install a trojan device, to my knowledge, ANYWHERE in the world (with any IT laws) without the permission of the owner. I won't be surprised (if this is true) when Ubisoft have to make reparations to the US community under penalty of class-action.
  2. Microsoft To Construct iPod/DS/PSP Killer Posted by Hemos on Monday March 20, @02:21PM from the only-a-matter-of-time dept. Karsten writes "According to The Mercury News Microsoft is developing a PSP/DS/GBA/iPod-killer. J. Allard is leading the project." J. Allard is the man behind the Xbox, and from looking at the article it sounds like it's at least a year before this device, if it hits daylight, would be coming.
  3. Update: The new nVIDIA 7600GT (
  4. Has anyone thought about the video card in all this? I think that is a candidate!
  5. The new nVIDIA 7900GTX and 7900GT are just the 7800GTX and 7800GT, only using a 90nm die instead of 110nm (thus will run cooler / allow for higher clockspeed). The 7900GTX only comes with 256MB DDR3 RAM, also. The new nVIDIA 7600GT (
  6. I thought Vault Dweller was just an alt of Ender.
  7. Not punished. But some sort of reconciliation must be enacted. Otherwise the accumulated hurt will continue to fester and cause trouble, like the Arab-Israeli troubles in the Middle East.
  8. Also, the topic starter might not use English as their first language, hence the lack of clear meaning in the post. Ah, nuts: locked.
  9. The problem is ingrained (institutionalized) racism. A bit like this statement: I'll let you ponder what is wrong with that comment. Maybe you should go back and do some research on Malcolm X. Because this statement is false. Who is responsible, then? What if other people don't share your unshakable faith in your god? How are you going to convince them to have FAITH? Faith, by definition, is a voluntary action, and flows from free choice. Free choice demands the option of NOT believing. No matter how often you (or others) threaten an eternal flamebath in the next life, these people will not respect your "logic".
  10. Haven't seen it. The film looks a big yawn.
  11. ... Nor is she a good actress. (Okay, she was okay in Leon/The Professional, but that was child actress territory, and very few children end up making the transition to the adult arena.)
  12. ... And hopefully, some understanding is gained by both sides.
  13. Ironically, it won't be long before others can sample Notorious BIG, as copyright ends fifty years after the death of the artist ... "
  14. I was perusing the anals of 50s films, and it occurred to me that the golden age of SF has been and gone ... as evidenced by the B and worse grade film corpses littering the Hollywood film studios' warehouses. Still, I hope for a renaissance. Orcs and Elves are so last millennium.
  15. The overclocking software is an automatic (safe) software overclock. The Sempron BIOS doesn't have any good overclocking facilities. The cooling fan keeps the CPU at 30
  16. Let's go for third time lucky, eh?
  17. What's the point of this topic?
  18. Brace yourself, Soulseeker. The object of the topic was not to impress you. I know, that might come as a heavy revelation, but try and bear it with bravery and dignity. I was providing an example of a PC that will play the latest games, for about the same price as a console.
  19. *waves big stick* closure imminent.
  20. Another bites the sand.
  21. I was giving one chance. I'm just a great kinda person.
  22. Yes, it has Gregory Peck!
  23. It is a well-known classic. Please refrain from posting your opinions of other posters (as per the ToS) and merely post your film critique. Many thanks.
