Actually there are ways to stop it. The easiest would be to block anything thats not an Xbox device using MAC filtering. They build them so they obviously know your MAC. FYI I work at a large company and this is one of the simplest ways we prevent DDoS attacks.

But we're not talking about the "idea" of corporations, and if we were, it's hardly clear that Americans, certainly most of them, hate it. We're talking about "the way corporations manipulate us into buying their shit," which amounts to specific practices, whatever they may be.

Thank you for that well-worded reply. It does a lot to clear up my confusion.

North Koreans hate a propaganda strawman promulgated by the DPRK. They have no experience with nor a way to really hate/love/whatever the real thing.

If it weren't for all the additional negative press that the "hack" brought down on the studio, I'd think that the whole thing was conjured up by Sony PR.

This. Perhaps if she had been treated with more sensitivity in her first quarantine, and trained for a decent paying occupation that wouldn't kill people, she would have behaved differently. Are we sure her situation was even explained to her in terms she could comprehend? Things that are commonly understood now…

If you've ever been poor, alone, and without any sort of safety net, then it's easier to understand why she went back to being a cook. There's something of a sliding scale of morality/judgement when it comes to your basic survival.

"I don't understand this and the DDOS attacks that happen all the time. Nobody is making a political point or something, just pissing people off. These people have to have some really sad intrinsic motivation."

Who cares? Be with your damned family for at least once a year...

I hate to say it but i think you've already lost that semantic fight. Language evolves with use and nobody's using quadcopter.

I don't get it.

You can call the maturity of some of the journalists who wrote these reviews. Usually the more immature ones actually liked this piece of garbage. Im looking at you IGN.

Your star's so fat that after it went supernova it was still the fattest star in the galaxy.

If only actors and movie directors worked on the production of a movie, I'd totally agree with you. But you know, that thing at the end of the movie that scrolls hundreds of names? Yeah, those people that you don't recognize, they aren't the "overpaid Hollywood" you're talking about. Your scope of reality is so…

Woah, its Pangaea all over again! Next thing you know... the temperature will change, continents will move, sea levels will fluctuate! I learnt about this in school, previous generations never experienced anything like what we are going through. Before the "industrial revolution" the world experienced a consistent…

As a content producer, I would like to ask you to please eat a big bag of dicks.

Because the studio wont make their money back? Is this a serious question?

Wait i get it!! haha..If they allow it to stream on xbox then maybe north korea will cripple xbox and micrososft...nice move sony ...nice move. #teamplaystation

Exactly. If you are going to complain about the movie, complain how forced the bridge between the second and third act "HEY WE ARE NOW BEST FRIENDS!" bit was.
