Fireproof Gun safe bolted down in garage. Hard copies of the important stuff,(house deed, marriage lic. etc). Wife backed up all the photos along w that to external HDD, and flash drive.

IMO anyone trusting their SSN card image, passport scans, marriage lic info, etc. to the cloud of ANY company is just asking for…

Costco. I know they do disposable cameras so same deal(?) AND at least in CA it's only $3 to get the images put to CD

this. FIFA and by extension EA aren't about to f'k off their money with a console exclusive anything of REAL significance. Especially on one that is most dominant in the less soccer intense part of the world. (Here in the US)

I'll restate and rephrase it since reading comprehension and inference are obviously weak spots for you.

A).I/We get the way they want to do it. We don't like it, we like having a physical copy that we own and all the associated perks & drawbacks that entails. I'm glad the way PC games (which not all of them come…

I & most are referring to physical games. Rest of your statement is Null. And as far as everything converting digital: Internet providers, their bandwidth & infrastructure.

Players only get money IF there is a sale. I.e if the cost if the auth. is 80-90% of the price of the game how many people do you think are going to buy the 2nd hand game??

The "used games hurt the developer" argument only make sense if you think buying a used car hurts the car designers, a used house hurts contractors & the construction industry and thrift store/ 2nd hand clothes hurt designers & the child labor of [insert 3rd world country here]

and if so.. could you see ANY car…

That could work- Kindle has something similar to this now. As does Nook. I know w the Nook you just have to give the person you loaned or who now downloading it the CCARD number that originally bought it. Makes you only loan to people you know pretty well, keeping the resale/pirate market lower but still allowing for…

While MS & (Sony?) try this & see if it works every other commodity creating industry should or probably is paying attention. Getting people to pay, potentially a significant amt., for the right to use USED goods? That you already met your profit margin on? Who wouldn't want to get in on that? It's the corporate…

not even just rentals but 2nd hand/craigslist or Ebay bought games.

i always love the antirental/2nd hand people. Just goes to show how deeply engrained selfishness, entitlement & overall douchiness is in the gaming community.

And a basketball arena upgrade to boot.

In this hyper PC and over-litigious world we live in, it's only a matter of time till someone goes on the warpath and threatens to Sioux.

I thought he didn't socialize??

Y no Rot Lop Fan??

+1 Nailed it.

Who is shocked? seriously? The bats are related to possibly f'king MLB's money. Umps that can't get right & might cost games? Only f'king everyone else's money (potentially)

Yep. Granted she Might (probably) have some shaky genetic and nurture traits that started her but at some point, to paraphrase Cedric the Entertainer "You a grown ass woman dog" and the burden of fuckery shifts

Oh I'm on Earth and watched 3 of the games. I knew Detroit got rocked by the city. I had just filed it as 'Detroit had some bad games' but looking at the raw numbers? Sheesh.

Not now cause he's established worth. But the initial investment into Miggy the Marlins and lower level teams paid into him? More than worth it.

BTW I just went and looked at what he and Prince did in the WS.. Dear God, the Giants thoroughly made Detroit their bitch.

Not just the signing but because everything is cheaper in Latin America vis a vis the US baseball gets a better return on their dollar for facilities, local scout pay etc. From a purely business perspective, which is the dominant (not sole, anyone who believes race/demographics don't play some role in these things is…
