Really?  You know how much trouble it was to get certain pets in game?  Hell, 10bucks and you don't have to waste hours of grinding or wading through instance upon instance hoping it drops and then your lucky enough to get it?

I'm sure many people will be willing to drop 10 bucks here.  Hell these guys actually do stuff where the others just were badges if determination.

I fail to see anything wrong with this.  Its not like they are twisting your arm.  They are simply putting a product out there and seeing who bites.

 It'd be a different issue entirely if the were selling epic weapons you couldn't get any other way.

If it can talk naughty to me, while I drive, I'm in.

The only problem with this is that you still have to pick up the phone, most people will look to see who if they want ot talk to the person calling, all before they start talking.  And all the while they areo nly half paying attention to the road.

So unless you have a phone that is completely handsless, and by completely handless I mean you don't even have to look at it to activate it, yes ban talking on them also.

Mac users would never have to do anything like this because they don't have that option.

Okay, the UK is going to cut internet access to people who dl music illegally.  The problem I have with this is that, the internet is where most people find out more about music they hear on the radio or see on TV or are just browsing.

So these people will no longer be able to use the internet which in essence is all the promotion some of  these new bands and types of music get.

And this helps the music industry how?

My guess is that your using more ram than you think.  There is alays a bunch of services windows uses that take ram for programs that aren't necessarily doing anything but holding  memory space, just in case.

Having too big of pagefile is also bad.  That's why they give that calculation.  The bigger it is the longer it takes to search for what it needs.

Why you would get better performance for eliminating your pagefile is beyond me.  It just doesn't work that way.

You can't do P2P with FPS games.  There is just no way to make it fair.  besides thatwould require a virtual server on the host PC, which is exactly what they are trying to avoid.

Well for one, its more expensive to develop a PC game than a console.  You have to provide for different graphic resolutions, sound card differences, types of CPU's.  All those things are a given with a console but not all PC's are created equal and you still have to provide a good game experience for a good portion of them to be profitable.

That being said I'm still a little leary of the whole match making system.  What if I want to play with some friends who are not all the same level/calibur?

I'm torn.  After all if your so greedy as to fall for this kind of crap then you kind of deserve what you get.  But I'm still glad that they are doing something about these people.

Is that a real T-shirt?  Its hilarious.
