Steam!!!!
That effen useless c**p.
After going through installing 5 (or was it 6) cds of Half Life 2, it makes you go though so weird decryption process, which on dial up which I had at the time, took, two effen days, (later games using adsl, just took a few hours).
Then and only then could you play the game. And even then you had to log on to steam to play it until you got to a certain point.
It let me download Half Live: Source and made me go though the same annoying decryption thing, but wouldn't accept my Visa or Mastercard, so I could activate the game.
Why did it ask for payment first? Then I wouldn't have waste my time and space downloading.
It's slow to connect to and downloading updates takes far too long. It's just effen awful.
That said Counterstrike:Source was still the best multiply game I have played on the PC.
Have none of these hassles with OrangeBox on the Xbox360I've been loving Firefox 3 on XP for a few weeks. And now I'm loving it in Ubuntu, which I have just installed.
Actually firefox is just a bit of foreplay, ubuntu is getting the full lovin'
Though there are a few issues with embedded media, so I am using wine to run the XP version to watch or listen to stuff on some sites. But that's not really molliza's fault.The problem with DRM is that it only effects those that are trying to do things legally. Eg I can't play songs from iTunes with their DRM, in linux.
I could search for pirated copies of those songs and play them on any OS or device that can play mp3s.
But I can't do that if I get legal copies.
I should be getting something more for paying for downloads not less. -
I want to know why they need a conference to discuss 'customer service'.
If they are anything like WINZ, then hell yeah!

I was going to say the same thing Rogan.
I had to read twice to make sure that I had read it correctly. Then thought it was probably something I didn't want to know more about. -
Oops, that should be Craig, not Graig.
Sorry mate. -
The quote on the show was 'favourite beach or park' and nothing about deceiving parents. Though there may have been in the article.
(You read it, so we didn't have too).
I was just thinking something like Graig was (A first, I'm sure). That it may be that I'm not a parent, so I don't naturally assume the worst.
I had to rewatch the programme. There was a glitch during the second ad break and so I missed the half of the discussion about the pornstar clothes for tots.Loved comment about using younger models. "..because when they are 18, their ass gets fat". lol

Watched your show on TV last night for the first time. Finally gotten the Freeview decoder, just when I had gotten use to everyone being short and wide on my TV. Well except for Harrison Ford's missus. Didn't help her at all.
Even sat through one of those god awful CSI programs because it was in HD. So pretty.I'm not a reader of Girlfriend. Way too old and the wrong gender. But the quotes you presented don't surprise me. Though the more graphic ones were actually questions from readers, not what the magazine was promoting. The only advice quoted from the magazine was how to french kiss. Hardly that shocking for teens.

Lyndon, I thought that only applied to being killing gay people.
You are right, it is so f'ed up and offensive. What is the point of trying to punish hate crimes, if the fact that they were gay is a defense.

No God zone had a post up last week about the tragedy and the elm churches reaction.
Personally I think it's just a reaction of people trying to deal with the shock of it. Of course we aren't going to get a well reasoned argument out of them.
I'm been pretty slack and haven't really been watching or reading the news. Only found out about it a couple of days after the event, so couldn't really say much about the media's coverage. But I have always hated having to watch interviews of victims families about how they feel, while they are still in shock. -
I'm running firefox and have never had a problem running any of the ondemand videos, including Media 7, which I just watched.
Noticed the product placement. lol -
Oops wrong button.
(But hey I was first post.)Saw that report on Nightline, and my first thought was it has to be an April first joke. (And of of course they later confirmed that it was).
Sad thing was, that Fox that they got some of the footage off, didn't bother checking and had it as a real story.
