So, the point of the article is that broadband caps are good for people who don't use their service because it allows companies to charge them less than people who make good use of what they pay for?
Except, it doesn't work that way, ever. They charge you the same regardless of how much you use and then limit the amount you can use it. They cut their costs without ever passing any of that down to consumers.
It's probably also worth noting, like he does in the article, that capping usage doesn't actually help the problem that they intended it for.

I just installed my 670 about an hour ago and have been running it through the paces, and it's impressive. I had a 580 in my system before (will be moving to my wife's system now), and it's incredible how much quieter the 670 is (not to mention cooler).
The only issue I've had is that Powerstrip doesn't like it for some reason and likes to crash the display driver, so I've had to skip using that program for now.
It's an incredible card. It's faster, quieter, and takes less power than my 580. Noticeably faster, in everything I've tried. |

Doh, nothing of note in the way of games was released in April. Sometimes I wonder if the people that report this garbage have one iota of brainpower.
Did you even read the article...or the headline here? They point that out pretty clearly in there, and Blue also added it as part of the news post. |

What bubble? There is no bubble. Clearly the author doesn't understand the concept of crowd-sourcing and why people like it. This isn't an investment strategy.
We'll see about that when one of these developers either fails to produce a decent game as a result of their kickstarter, or worse, fails to produce a game at all. Both are scenarios that are more or less guaranteed to happen eventually. |

I've been with Verizon since 2003, in two different states, and honestly I couldn't be happier with them. I've never had a billing issue, service is excellent, every time I've upgraded my phone it's gone without a hitch, and they grandfathered in my unlimited 3G plan when I upgraded to a 4G phone.
Of course I haven't tried any other carrier so I can't compare, but in 9 years I haven't had a reason to change.
Same for me.
When I did get my latest phone they steered my wife away from buying an iPhone, but the reasons they gave make a lot more sense than just if they're steering people toward 4G devices; Verizon doesn't provide warranty service, Apple does, and a number of other issues that prevent Verizon from doing much other than just selling the phone to people and letting everyone else handle supporting it afterward.

So to steer the discussion away from flamebait, what's everyone playing?
Wizard single player I think, and having a LAN party the weekend after release...will probably go with monk for that, a class I didn't expect to like but sort of fell in love with during the beta. |

TOTAL FAIL. We already have countless cookie cutter MMOs... just total fail. Way to take a great world and dumb it down... I just don't understand the world these days...
I'm not sure you know what cookie cutter or dumbing down mean.
You have no idea what this game will be like. It's a safe bet it won't be cookie cutter, as making it a "WoW clone" or something like that would be completely unlike anything Elder Scrolls. As for dumbing it down...I don't know how putting it into the MMO genre would do that. If anything, it'll have to become more complex to compare favorably with other games in the genre. |

The problem is any game on a handheld would be a better game on a non handheld.
Have you played one? Because it's pretty much like playing a console on a handheld. The games aren't neutered to fit on the platform like they were on past handheld.
I'm not a big handheld gamer and I bought a Vita when they released, and I've played it more than any of my consoles since I got it. Mostly Persona 3, a PSP game, but I've played the crap out of the thing largely because it doesn't feel like a handheld.
The games are also not only all available on the PSN but they're usually cheaper there, too, which is nice. |

It's really good, in my opinion. It's the breath of fresh air MMO that I'd been waiting for at least, and I had pretty low expectations when I first tried it.
The combat reminds me a lot of Dark Souls, actually, especially when you decided to solo one of the large monsters. |

Easier said than done. Crowd control comes at the expense of damage dealt, and damage not being dealt is time being wasted.
Hit and run has always been a tactic in Diablo, though. You're doing more damage if you can use crowd control to stand and deliver than you are if you're forced to run and shoot. |

The addition of a headache, anyway. Users who think it's a laptop replacement, who install apps from the store that they expect to be supported when 90% don't even work worth a shit, who lose them because they're easy to carry around, and who don't realize that it basically doesn't support multiple users on the same device.
If your organization is thinking of using them, don't. Even when some things seem like they'd be fine, the way people are using them and then expecting support on them makes them an IT nightmare. |

I hope that at least my progress for the download has been saved. Dbl click the installer again. Nope. Not only has my progress not been saved, but right now it's UPDATING THE DAMN SETUP FILES AGAIN.
There seems to be a problem with that, because it's a well-known enough issue for a player-made fix to be out for it.

That worked for me, but after doing the steps listed there you have to go into the Battle.net agent folder (something like Agent.868) and run the agent.exe file there. Let it complete, then re-run the beta launcher and it should get past the updating setup files.
I was able to get into the game, but it ran like shit after I did so I just kind of gave up. I don't want my first impression of gameplay for a game I've waited this long for to be struggling to get it to even work. |

You bought a TV that does not support HDCP? Well that's your own fault.
Seriously. Upgrade or shutup.
If, you know, you read the article it says that some people who have sets that do support it are having problems as well.
Anyway, I'm about as anti-piracy as anyone I know of on the internet but for this kind of stuff I don't see any reason why HBO's customers shouldn't just use piracy sites to get the shows they're paying for at this point. It's already bad enough that they only make their stuff available through HBO-Go online, and then still make it inaccessible to half the people who are paying for the channel. There's a number of shows I'd happily pay for, if they'd just f'ing let me, but the only way to get them if I miss the air date is to pirate the damn things. |

I understand points, I guess. I understand that they like to screw you by forcing you to buy more than you'd need for any given purchase in an attempt to get you to come back and spend more later, recreating and extending the problem each time you use the service.
It's smart on their part, maybe, but I can't see how any end user with any brains in their head at all would prefer it over real money transactions. |

It seemed like a lot of places had it on sale at $40 or under, from time to time. GMG sale certainly raked in numbers (like $30, before it launched?), I'm sure...
I got it from Amazon prior to launch for something like $30 as well; there just wasn't any reason not to go for it at that price for a new game.
Besides, it turned out to be one of my favorite games from last year. It's still fun to go back and just blow some things up for an hour or so...I didn't think the DLC was terrible (the story ones, not the ridiculous costume packs), but none of it is worth the full price of admission that it comes with. |
