5/31    Does anyone have the login/pw for the private space at
        http://ign.com?  We shouldn't have to be paying for access..esp.
        things like the silent hill 2 full trailer.
             \_ Will somebody please provide a valid login/pass?  They
                fucking cut off the last Hideo Kojima interview on the
                subject of mgs2...damnit..that chafes my hide.
        \_ sign yer name -shac
           \_ oh come on. the rest of the motd wants to know too.
        \_ l: phil

        \_ They have to pay reporters, editors, webmasters, sys admins,
           electricity bills, network connection bills, and much more - why
           shouldn't you have to pay them back for some of it?  The dream of
           an advertiser-supported internet is dead - ads don't pay enough.
           \_ pay should be voluntary, like the PBS model.  If you like what
              you get, you should donate some cash, but you shouldn't have
              to pay before seeing the goods.
              \_ that's ridiculous.
              \_ Communism is dead, kid.
                 \_ YEAH, BECAUSE PBS IS AN EVIL COMMIE LIBERAL STATION.
                    \_ psb is a communist?
                 \_ This isn't communism.  If it were communism, everyone would
                    be forced to pay the government, and the government would
                    be funding and running everything.  Voluntary donations are
           than in a piece of shit rm or WMP format.  Is that too much to ask?
           Damn ign bastards...*sigh*
                    completely different.
                    \_ "You shouldn't have to pay before seeing the goods."
                       There is that "should" there that I don't like.  The
                       mentality seems to be that the consumer can dictate
                       to the producer their terms.  In a truly free society,
                       all contracts are voluntary.
                 for Linsux.
                       \_ what's wrong with that?  we're in a capitalist society
                          driven by consumerism; why shouldn't consumers dictate
                          what they want?
                          \_ because you're an idiot.  you don't get to decide
                             *after* you use something whether you want to
                             pay for it.  -tom
                             \_ you do if you have access to warez. long live
                                warez! cd images galore! i wonder when someone
                                will finally crack down on newsgroup piracy?
           \_ Property is theft!
       \_ regardless of what anyone agrees on,  login: phil
           p: vahmifqy  doesn't work.  Someone please provide a valid
           login/pw.  It's not like I can't get it at one of the
           other sites;  I'd just rather have it in quicktime format
           than in a piece of shit rm or WMP format.  Is that too much
           to ask? Damn ign bastards...*sigh*
           \_ COMMIE MAC USER!!!
              \_ QuickTime runs on Windows and there is even mov player
                 for Linux.
                  \_ The Windows Media Player much better than real, QT or
                     anything similar out there.
                     \_ WMP? Good? Surely you jest. AVI and ASF are total
                        POS. The quality is terrible and the playback
                        frequently hangs esp. if you try to stream a file.
                        QuickTime at least has decent stream and playback.
                         \_ I know not of AVI/ASF.  What i know is that
                            when i play the SAME file with REAL it looks
                            like crap, when i play it with WMP it looks good.
                            \_ you need to study harder. the correct answer
                               is "M$ SUC|<Z U53 L1NUX!" and not worry about
                               whether something works for you or not.
