I've been wondering about EA's role in this. Could it be that an exec got nervous after reading the fan outrage? Disappointment could put a damper on sales. Most journalists see it as a given that people will buy future DLC nonetheless. That may be true for a core group, but then there are...

My thoughts exactly. Bob can't hold a candle to Mike and Jay.

There are lot of stupid laws against all possible things. While insulting and threatening someone is socially undesirable and in some instances punishable, it would be very hard to find someone who'd be crazy enough to indict a twelve-year old who made himself guilty while pinned against the...

Finally someone who knows what's going on. So were those kids climing on trains or gliding down a handrail? Where I come from there is something called defamation of a civil servant on duty, which those guys weren't and even if they were they should be professional enough to not take it...

So after we deported all those "misfits", the working class has to flat out subsidise the business sector for the priviledge to work there? And that's going to improve the situation for the remaining people how exactly?

If there is any chance of succesful cover-up, it will be covered up. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/dec/03/deaths-police-custody-officers-convicted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e76BZialpPk That's right. So be glad with what you have and hope that the super rich aren't robbing you some...

A concise history of recent Sony hacks: http://attrition.org/security/rants/sony_aka_sownage.html That reminds me of 6 years ago, when Sony's rootkit came to surface and a Sony rep said, it wouldn't matter because most of its customers don't know what a rootkit is anyway.
