Release Notes: I Am Not, Nor Have I Ever Been, a Fanboy

Or maybe a "meh. fanboy". Essentially, I'll try something and if it works I'm fine with it. I'll keep using it until it doesn't work for me, then abandon it when it no longer fulfills my needs. I bought a new PC a few years back with Vista on it, immediately disabled the UAC and haven't had a single problem with it -- despite crapifying my PC with all manner of suspect software. I don't mind taking a few minutes to speak up in Vista/MS's/Bill Gates'/Steve Ballmer's behalf whenever I hear people trashing Vista. I'm not upgrading to Win7 because I don't need to upgrade to anything, and I have much better things to do with my time and money than upgrade just for the hell of it. I guess you could also add "budget-conscious fanboy" to my list of possible labels. I don't know about anyone else here, but I have a LOT better things to do with $320 (the retail price of W7 Ultimate) than blow it on an OS. Hell man, that's airfare to Vegas!

Instead of classifying people who are simply happy with what they have and are willing to voice their support, maybe we should start categorizing you speed fetishists who always need the newest latest red hot kick ass gear to add to your mantle, as if you are Kraven the Hunter mounting some giant beast's head to your rec room wall.

Even beyond the federal offense of stealing/tampering with the US mail, isn't this just plain ol' grand theft? Considering the amont, and we're coservatively looking at $20,000 if we take the value at $10/game, shouldn't he be on the hook for a bit longer than 18 months?

I never even heard of it harder. Never had any problems with tinyurl, so that's what I use. I don't know who was the first to come out with a URL shortening service, but there's seriously too many of them. That's all the Internet needs, more dead links from when these also-rans start collapsing.
