  Cool, nobody's ever going to be able to break that DRM.

  Hey, if fans pay Mike via PayPal, then it's also not fan support because PayPal is not a fan!

  Re: The reality of commercial publications.

  Wanting to charge for delivering you ads is kinda like refusing a truck full of cash unless the sender also offers to pay for the gas.

  "I'd guess that advertisers are interested in eyeballs and aren't exactly "fans"."
  
  Most idiotic comment of the month. The fans are the eyeballs, not the advertisers, you nincompoop.

  Haven't been attacked by a script before, I think (not sure what constitutes an attack other than recursive popups) so I don't know.

  Re: How many times? -- MASHUPS are always trouble!

  You're right, this documentary should have been 100% made without any third party content!
  
  Just like Moore's documentary about Flint, Michigan should have used a 100% original setting, not reused what others had made! Moore should have built his own car plant, even founded his own city so that he didn't have to mash-up a city that was created by others!
  
  Why stop there. I mean, he should have made his own vat-grown citizens, instead of just using existing people. But he should have made their DNA from scratch, like, scraping carbon cells from fruit or something then sewing them in strands. I mean, using existing people is just trouble, you can get sued!

  People who bought Sim City have too much free time. They should find something more productive to do like wait in a queue for 600 minutes to play Sim City! BAZINGA!

  Whenever a work of zombie fiction gets me down, I go for a dose of more upbeat anti-zombie entertainment.

  Humanity getting back on its feet and fighting back the Z-man. It usually gets me out of any zombie-induced morose state.

  "Unfortunately those of us that grew up with this game and wasted many many many many hours of their lives building cities in each version (Original, Simcity 2000, Simcity 3000, Simcity 4, and expansion packs) can't not buy this game."
  
  That's like saying that we can't not buy Simcity Societies.

  This seems like a perfect time for another ISP to set up service in the areas where this "private agreement" is being applied... like, a certain company that provides really cheap fiber optic internet service.
