I'm out of this thread. This is the reason I live in South Dakota. Absence of foolish people that think the government is the answer. The government is not the answer to ANYONE except the government. You people should try to do for yourself once, you might find it rewarding.

Funny, Fox News doesn't seem to be hurting. Point in fact, they are breaking their ratings records all the time. It seems that people can tell the truth when they hear it. Maybe if some other networks and newspapers would try it REGARDLESS of their agenda, they might not be feeling such a...

You obviously don't own a business. This year, I'm passing a lot of extra expense on to my customers. We'll see what kind of tune you are singing in a few years.

Its strange to me that anything that sheds a bad light on the current administration is labeled a "conspiracy theory" regardless of any truth behind the story. It is a well known fact that the president and his subordinates are circumventing congress and the checks and balances of the...

Spin spin spin. Every competent American knows exactly what the FTC's intentions are, and so does Steve. "They are just showing feedback and results from a third party." Yeah, and the nazi's were just doing the same thing when they were pushing their hate-the-jew propaganda. Didn't change...

You also have to remember that lack of options drove sales up exponentially. What other FPS for PC was released around the same time as MW2? There is a complete lack of options when it comes to multiplayer FPS these days. My list of complaints with MW2 is too long to list. One of the gripes...

Really... were those threads linked to a "comments" link on the HardOCP home page. I'm guessing not. You know... bullshit like this that cries about re-posts is one of the main reasons I don't use these forums much anymore.

Every day I feel closer to seeing the end of PC gaming. The ignorant masses seem to be in control.

To add to the frustration... I have never played a game with more wall hacking, aim-botting, glitching, and retarded "balance" features than MW2. In over decade and a half of gaming... I have never played a game with more cheaters. Of course they wont do anything about it either.

Exactly.

Its definately not that I don't understand how it works, because I do. I simply don't agree with that type of shit being in a EULA. Its un-american.

... and people like defsho are thinking its ok for large corporations to dictate what you can or can not do with property that you purchased. Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Those of us that want others to control us... and those of us that do NOT. I'd be the latter.

In what states is it legal to drive without insurance? Point is, when I pay for something... its mine. I don't care what it is, no one is going to tell me I can't use it anymore after I've already paid for it.

Everything else that I pay for... nobody comes and takes back afterward. You think that is right? Maybe you should live in china. edit: also, taxes and insurance are required by law. For you to say they are not needed just goes to show how detached from reality you are.

What should I care? You can side with them if you want. The working man is tired of being pushed around by corporations. Period.

You know how dumb that sounds? Its ok for them to steal my money... but not for us to steal theirs? Thats right, its ENTERTAINMENT... and I don't want to have to work to play my game... and I sure as hell am not going to pay for it twice just because they won't let me install it anymore.

I don't care if its freeware. I for one, am DONE getting screwed out of my money by people. Time for them to get screwed out of theirs.

They MADE me be a pirate.

I've been inconvenienced enough, thank you.

No it doesn't. We'll still play the game... we just won't pay for it. :) I still need a video card.

You walk in the store and pay for an item. Take it home... and after you move to a different house, the store comes and takes it back without your permission. That is essentially what this is like. Somebody tried that with me... they'd get shot. I hope they like making games and not...

Frankly... I could care less. They will just make people who WOULD buy the game... like me... NOT BUY IT and get a cracked one instead. Just like everything else. Hit them in the wallet is the only time they will listen. I have an entire closet full of game titles that I was and am...

Exactly. All the things you listed are a very big deal. Games/OS's loading faster is one of the primary reasons I like raid-0. Followed closely by apps opening up MUCH faster.

I could rattle off everything i know about raid, and probably make your head spin around your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. ... but I won't. Rather, I'll just say that every single one of my customers that I've moved from single disk to raid-0 for their OS and...

Exactly. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that raid-0 IS FASTER than a single disk of the same make/model. My raid-0 raptors gets me loaded into maps in CoD4 faster than any of my friends with their non-raid setups. ... and at least 2 of them have almost identical machines to mine...

Well I may not know anything about politics. I'll concede that point, because politics and politicians DISGUST ME. ... but I work with government at all levels on a daily/weekly basis, and that makes me more familiar than most. If I ran my business like these governments (city, state...

Things like this bring out the liberals among us... thats for sure. Government can do no wrong in their eyes. ... and of course... NOTHING is anybody's fault... unless the finger is being pointed at the government. Then they find someone to blame in a quick hurry!

... as is the case with EVERY SINGLE encounter with government that I've ever had.

I can't even IMAGINE being a CCIE and sitting in a room with a bunch of other government employees. That would be similar to being evander holyfield and fighting in the special olympics. I'd probably go insane. Perhaps he did, a little bit.

Which is why this problem exists in the first place. NOBODY stands up to dumbasses in government. Its easier to just sit back, and let it get destroyed, and then get paid AGAIN to fix it. This whole topic sickens me to the point of nausea.

My company does work for government on a daily/weekly basis. You go ahead and side with them. I could care less. Every single facet of government I've worked with is so disgustingly stupid, I'm suprised they find their way to their office from the parking lot every day.

Exactly. Government in general is completely incapable of running and organizing SIMPLE events. What makes ANYONE think that they can design, deploy, or maintain a complex network? The people in government jobs DO NOT LIKE smart people. They want control of everything, even if they don't...

... only if you are incompetent.

... or more likely, nobody else was qualified to do what he was doing.

Sounds to me like this guy did all the work, while his boss' took all the credit and tried to screw everything up at the same time. Dumbassed city government employees? Who would have thought!?!?!?

Just think... If all lawyers were killed on sight... we wouldn't have to worry about ANY of this.

I find it very convenient that rambus chooses NOW to attack nvidia. Talk about kicking someone when they are down. It wouldn't make me cry if everyone that works for rambus (especially the lawyers) just died instantly. I own a computer repair store, and I STILL see customers with shitty...

We'll see. The time of big business getting away with screwing the people that helped get them there is slowly coming to an end. EVERYONE is acountable. Doesn't matter how much money you have. I lost close to a million bucks on black friday. Lost it because of practices just like that...

Jobs was a ♥♥♥♥ in the 80's... He's a ♥♥♥♥ now. Nothing has changed except the size of his bankroll. Would do him good to get fined and serve some time.

Sounds about right. ... and you know what? I'm OK with that. I'll post results of what I decide to do. Probably going to go with 4 velociraptors and be content knowing its the fastest I could get. But then again I might just go with 8 150 raptors. The options are limitless.
