I've got an old TV and nowt fixes the edges being cut off. That and the game designers insistence on tiny fonts with no spaces between words and I'm not a happy bunny. There's plenty of screen real estate, I know that to designers, words are evil, but seriously, can't we have writing thats...

Okay, we'll ignore the real world example that books are already being pirated and the relative cost of book/game manufacturing. Lets look at cars. Cars have a massive amount of money go into production and sell for a lot, but the manufacturers see nothing from the extensive secondhand car...

And depending on the ruling powers of the day, what's right and wrong is fluid

And a game costs a lot more than a book to buy new (for now). And most books don't sell as many copies as games do (unless you've got symbologists, wizards or tattooed girls in it) With the kindle and whatnot, will the piracy of books take off and kill literature off altogether, especially...

Yeah, though I've been on a train, a bus and a taxi so all the usual places to leave flash drives. Maybe I lost it when I bumped into that tanned, bearded fellow :S

What's the site?

Okay, the camera's aren't in your house yet, but the more prevalent they become, the more likelyhood of them being needed everywhere, including in your house. Better? There is when I mistype it 0:) Just because they're not everywhere round your way at the moment, doesn't mean they...

Whether the W7 interface is an improvement over XP's is debatable especially as it's just XP with blurry edges and a buggered explorer and search. Only watched the videos for the new interface and while it doesn't look that great, at least they're trying something new (to them) that isn't...

£60 for preowned for wait a few months and play it for £20...no real competition really. As for Extra credit's plan for games to have half on the disc and half as DLC do that the developers get something from everyone who ever owns the game, forget that idea. Terry Pratchett keeps most...

Yeah, mental loongey... It's not a big deal in towns but is in cities! You're going to have to explain that one a bit more

They aren't in your house yet They still try to though because they either aren't smart enough to worry about the cameras, know they'll do no good or desperate for that meat and pastry goodness. Any way you look at it, let the pratt go first. They are following you, that's the point of...

There are lots of them and they're all useless except for watching how many people go past them. I got set on by 2 lads outside the shops near my house right in front of a camera. The police looked at the vid and said it wasn't clear enough to positively ID them in court, they could tell who...

It's not that they're making stuff only for those small groups, they're making stuff based on abusing/utilising the compulsive behaviour in all humans. That's wonderfully niave of you :-) All good writers/artists/whatever have someone in an editing/oversight role who say "yup that's enough"...

Don't worry, we disagree ;-) It's not about the number of options available. Take cars for example, the new Ford Focus is available in say 7 colours. Fine, they're not trying to sell you a new car and they won't add a "pink" option in 3 months time. When Ford released the orange Focus...

No, it's easier to put a link to someone who's said what I think rather than fill this thread up with what would effectively be a transcript. "the idiotic, the young and the obsessive compulsive" You've never seen a kid screaming in a toy shop/supermarket? You've never seen the pictures of...
