Sure, I suppose if you are really dedicated you could play through a game in those 24 hours and get a refund to play for free, but that's a marginal enough case that it's probably not worth worrying about. I think your underesti

I personally had HUGE successes with it in improving my overall hygiene - but be warned that it takes up to six months for your body to "reboot". Is there any evidence that this statement has any basis in reality or is it like w

Also, as more people shift to the off-peak time, the difference between peak and off-peak shrinks, and as such so will the price difference. And yet, somehow I have a feeling the utility companies will 'forget' to lower peak pri

How can a company so shamelessly extract money (through forceful deals, no doubt) from an open source OS, and get away with it? It's as simple as 'software patents'. This is the result of the current system.

They've got the equipment in-house, so of course they're going to use it. Exactly, they are going to use it as much as they can, whether it's necessary or not, because they have it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I find that a little evil. I'm having a hard time not reading this as effectively saying that it's evil to compensated for providing a service. Yeah, it's probably the most relevant

While the Add-On Item thing is annoying, I have to admit, there were a few times in the past where I've ordered small items that were shipped for free and I couldn't help but think it was pretty dumb that Amazon was doing that. Su

Tell me more about how the concerns of the majority overrule the rights of the minority. I'm not sure the snark is necessary or even make sense. The 'minority' shouldn't expect a right to illegally rent out their livin

In a sense, this proves one thing: convenience wins, again. And that's definitely a great sign for Steam, since many Linux users are probably feeling the same way we do. If convenience wins, doesn't that mean the vast majority o
