The Heart of the Matter (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Someone at IW or Activision made the decision to NOT make a PC version. They have simply ported over the console version.
I feel like this is the real reason why all of the missing features.
They are trying to cut corners and they will pay for it with poor sales on the PC platform, which they will see as a reason to abandon PC gaming like others have.
Re: Re: Strange (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Of course they are, they are HTC's. HTC has done this in every single device it has ever made. They have a reputation for using last-gen under-powered chipsets and MINIMAL amounts of storage and ram to operate what ever goliath mobile OS they are trying to cram on their devices.
It's time for someone to step up and slap HTC in the face and say "THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE"
A programmer's simple solution (as Nicholas Overstreet)

I'll give the MPAA this... they're always good for a laugh.
Re: (as Nicholas Overstreet)
heh, I'm really shocked this hasn't happened yet.
Re: I fall in to this category (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Ugh, I really don't like TechDirt's login system.
I thought I was logged in, but apparently wasn't.
You guys should make it more obvious if you're not signed in... or when you sign in and check keep me signed in, actually have it keep you signed in.

It's like these boneheads whine and cry about google indexing their site (heaven forbid they get traffic on their site), instead of taking about 5 seconds to add in the lines to block google from indexing their site.
They act like they're helpless victims when they're anything but.
This happens all the time, so what? (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Bands do this ALL the time.
Theory of a Deadman's "Bad Girlfriend" borrows directly from The Cult's "Fire Woman" but you don't see The Cult getting their panties in a bunch do you? (Maybe ToaDM had permission from The Cult, I don't know).
Satriani seems like some broke joke who is just trying to get a final pay day in there.
Even with the same melody in the background, the songs are so dissimilar I don't think it should even be a question of infringement. But, that's just me I guess...
(as Nicholas Overstreet)
Unless YouTube does something about it's absolutely horrible quality, they'll get no where with this.
Not only are their "HD" or "HQ" videos absolute jokes in terms of quality, but their videos constantly cut out and have to re-buffer due to their bandwidth issues.
If I can't watch a 40 second youtube clip with out being annoyed, I seriously doubt I would ever make it through a 2 hour movie from them.
Idiocracy (as Nicholas Overstreet)
I like money.
Good idea (as Nicholas Overstreet)
I like this idea. There definitely needed to be some way to easily tell recent changes with out looking through the page's revision history. Too bad it took them such a long time to implement something, but still good that they are actually going forward with it.
Are they going to get them all? (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Googled: rorschach test images
Results 1 - 10 of about 233,000 for rorschach test images. (0.23 seconds)
Looks like they have about 233,000 other people to go after as well. Good luck with the witch hunt!
Some times you just have to... (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Sounds like he didn't know when to call it quits
So how is TPB's impending shut down a victory? (as Nicholas Overstreet)
What do the movie studios hope to accomplish by this?
Do they think that every who uses TPB will just STOP their activities when TPB goes under?
Is that seriously what they think?
Wait a minute... (as Nicholas Overstreet)
Maybe I'm confused, but isn't metered bandwidth a giant step BACKWARDS in technology?
Maybe they should just start selling us minutes of connection time. Yeah, there yah go. 500 minutes of cable modem access time a month!
And maybe they could use some special software to connect.
Oh, they could mass market the software with CD's mailed out to anyone and everyone!
Interesting Article (as Nicholas Overstreet)
My eyes were really opened to the vulnerability of common every day locks a couple years ago. My girlfriend found her old Master Lock combination lock and wanted to use it again, unfortunately she had no idea what the combination for it was. I did a little research online and had the combination cracked in about 20 minutes. I practiced the skill a bit more and was eventually able to open most Master Lock dial-combination with in 2 minutes. I was really shocked at how easy it was to do.
I've lost the skill since then since I haven't had a use for it... but it really opened my eyes.
What is AT&T doing with all their money??? (as Nicholas Overstreet)
With how much money AT&T is making off the outrageously over-priced iPhone contracts, there is no excuse for this.
AT&T is refusing to improve network infrastructure, and this will come back to bite them in the butt, hopefully sooner than later.

I think it's a form of art and no where close to infringement.
If someone took a brand new Chevy Malibu, disassembled it, hacked it up, and made some crazy sculpture out of it's parts, it wouldn't be an infringement on Chevy. Sure you can tell it was once a Chevy Malibu, but it is not any more. Just like Rap Chop used to be a Slap Chop infomercial, but it is not any more. The artist has created something new from the parts of the original product.

IPv6 is not the answer to any imaginary or real IPv4 shortage. The answer is NAT, which is already implemented in nearly every network with internet access.
Also, the sky is falling.

Mechwarrior:
In nearly every single type of service "contract" you enter, there is a clause in it that allows the provider to change the terms of the contract when ever they want and for any reason they want.
