Re: Don\'t Worry About Copy Write Protection!
The only console I've ever owned (and it was actually my parents...) was an original Nintendo system. Still have it actually 
If I was the only customer, it'd be the shallow console games that were "doomed".
As long as there's even a small market for something, there will be suppliers. For the forseeable future, there'll continue being thousands of computer gamers, thus the industry is far from "doomed".
I see the end of dedicated computer gaming once the computer, TV, stereo, satellite system are all integrated into one unit. Then again, that'd spell the death of dedicated console gaming too!

Sounds like the Voltron of wallet-leeching electronics.

Re: Don\'t Worry About Copy Write Protection!
We are all doomed. Every product I own will be broken in ten years. Every company I do business with with be gone in 50. Every one of their entire industries will be gone and replaced by something else in 100.
By don't worry, you and I and everybody else we know will be dead by then, so it doesn't really matter.
I don't even know why I bother writing this. No-one will remember reading it in a month, and no-one will even remember humanity exsisted in a million years.

Humanity has a lot of illogical behavior that cannot be attributed to evolution - But that's OT.

Re: Don\'t Worry About Copy Write Protection!
What does any of this matter to us, we will all, every last one of us, be dead in a 100 years, our names, our accomplishments, hell everything about us will have been forgotten. Not even our offspring will recall us. Such is life.

I'm not so sure. I plan on living another 100 years or so. 118 isn't too much to ask for, is it? As long as I still have all my brain cells intact...

Don't get your hopes too high. I'm pretty sure there are a few Archivists around, so your post will *not* be forgotten so soon.
So, I recall you saying something in favour of Copy Protection around Dec 8 2002, at 1500 UTC or so... |

Re: Don\'t Worry About Copy Write Protection!
Remember reading what in a month? Huh? Did I miss something that I was suppose to read last month? WTF?? This isn't fair I tell you.
