The recent spending cuts have not significantly changed that in fact. They are minor in relation to the total deficit and spending.

Some perspective on the US Debt. Too many zeros to understand? Let's remove 8 zeros and pretend it is the budget for a family:
Total annual family income: $21,700
Amt of money family spent: $38,200
Amt of new credit card debts: $16,500
Outstanding debt on credit card: $142,710
Amount cut from the annual budget: $385 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we are surprised S&P cut them?
Jeesh. Any bank would have bankrupted the family already.
Try reinstalling SP3.-40hz (August 11, 2011, 07:12 PM)
The version of Windows I have is Windows XP Pro with SP3. It installs Windows with SP3 included. So I never really installed SP3 because Windows came with SP3.If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the version of Windows you have, and then immediately go to the Windows Update site and do ALL your updating (including SP3) from there.-40hz (August 11, 2011, 07:12 PM)
I'm confused.Sort of off topic, is there a good Android equivalent to an iPod Touch yet? (I'm not ready to give up my $15 a month NET10 plan yet)-daddydave (August 03, 2011, 03:13 PM)

Sad thing is if you're a gamer, you're likely going to end up with the requirement to be online to game (or at least *have* an Internet connection for activation) whether you're on Steam or not. See recent Ubisoft games for example...-JavaJones (August 07, 2011, 03:59 PM)
There was enough of an outcry against this practice that they backed away from it. That's the key thing- if it hurts the bottom line, they won't do it. That's the only thing that they learn from. And a large enough bloc has to have the willingness to do so.-wraith808 (August 07, 2011, 04:52 PM)
Ubisoft said it has seen "a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection, and from that point of view the requirement is a success," speaking with PC Gamer.

When looking at it, Shagbook has a point. The term "facebook" was around well before Facebook.-Renegade (August 07, 2011, 06:49 PM)
So is it just me, or do other people have as big a hangup about gaming over the web (and generally consider the whole thing a mistake) as I do?-40hz (August 05, 2011, 12:31 PM)
I should also say that I'm not at all surprised by this news. I read a warning put out by some indie game development site a few months ago strongly urging people not to put their games on the Amazon App Store because of Amazon's policies. I'll try to find it and then post the link in this thread.-Deozaan (August 05, 2011, 11:25 PM)
Two weeks ago, Amazon launched its own Android Appstore. We know that many developers have been eagerly looking forward to that launch in hopes that it would represent a great new revenue opportunity and a fresh take on downloadable game merchandising. The IGDA applauds Amazon’s efforts to build a more dynamic app marketplace. However, the IGDA has significant concerns about Amazon’s current Appstore distribution terms and the negative impact they may have on the game development community, and we urge developers to educate themselves on the pros and cons of submitting content to Amazon.
In summary, Amazon’s terms still enable it to steeply discount a game developer’s content without permission — a tactic Amazon could easily use to force game developers to absorb the cost for Amazon to compete with other appstores.
We are not impressed with Amazon’s recent gesture, nor is this matter the result of a misunderstanding. We believe that Amazon’s terms, as they currently stand, represent a threat to game developers.
Yeah... DC automagically puts the decorations on links to wikipedia (also explains the 'w' at the end), but I don't think most people know that...So DC automagically breaks all Wikipedia links? Shouldn't that be fixed?-wraith808 (August 01, 2011, 10:48 AM)
Or am I misunderstanding something?-mwb1100 (August 04, 2011, 07:15 PM)

Perhaps there are reasons it wouldn't work as well for files, but offhand I can't think of any.-cyberdiva (August 03, 2011, 09:48 PM)
