You know the prototypical hot coffee case was warranted, right? The plaintiff won. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 06/06/2012 10:52:52 AM
The McDonalds had been told multiple times that their coffee machine was at a setting well above the safety limit, and they ignored it. The woman suffered third degree burns on her legs. That's more than "hot" coffee.

It's amusing how people use an example of the system working perfectly well as justification for tort reform.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM* Aemon - 30/05/2012 04:31:22 AM 617 Views
Scary that in order to curb one practice - they are alienating a whole section ... Roonas - 05/06/2012 08:30:15 AM 1316 Views
Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:21:58 AM 1258 Views
Fair enough. I guess used-game concerns are more of a console thing. *NM* Aemon - 07/06/2012 03:54:47 AM 661 Views
This is why I stopped playing Blizzard Games. MightyYT - 30/05/2012 06:13:34 AM 1254 Views

You need to have followed the whole story a bit more to understand. Aemon - 05/06/2012 09:14:48 PM 1152 Views

The difference I see is that Steam has an offline mode that (mostly) works. D3 has none. *NM* Zalis - 30/05/2012 08:09:40 PM 642 Views
yah...I only recently got into Steam. and ONLY because I've been moving a lot LadyLorraine - 30/05/2012 09:01:31 PM 1538 Views
It's still a good thing, the problem is that we're in a period of transition. Aemon - 30/05/2012 09:26:46 PM 1306 Views
The biggest issues I see right now are bandwith caps & speed. Zalis - 30/05/2012 09:44:10 PM 1282 Views

I don't think I've ever used an analogy on the internet that people didn't complain about. Aemon - 31/05/2012 04:46:17 AM 1107 Views

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future. lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:26:08 AM 1207 Views
