Xbox Owner Sues Microsoft for $500 Billion (Yes, Billion)

[DexterNorgam]

I have a question for everyone who is bemoaning the concept that use of service can be taken as acknowledgement of and agreement of the terms of service??

How else would this work?

Would you prefer for example for your xbox live, or cable tv, or cellular phone (just for starters) service to be suspended out of the blue every time the terms of service are changed until you can signal that you've read the new terms and agree with them?

I mean, lets be honest, nobody wants service interruptions. And lets say companies were to start handling changes to TOS that way, how many of you whiners would honestly, ACTUALLY read the new terms before clicking the box, using the link in the email notification, calling the number, whatever method the company chose to give customers an avenue to acknowledge the changes to the terms and thus reactivate their service?

Not many I'd wager.

Grow up, its how the world works.

Bill Gates is also a fellow aspie.

ps. To those that stated that AS is a handicap and a disability, I would personally like to inform you that it is not (as AS does not prohibit you from being fully capable of sustaining a normal life). In fact, it's quite the contrary. I have a fluid intelligence of between 150-155 due to how my synapses work.

I would gladly exchange a body with paralysed legs for a normal body that can walk. I would never exchange my aspie brain for a normal one even if you included £1,000,000. Why de-evolve myself kidding ;p . Well not truly, society has progressed to a point where civilisation can maintain itself without the imperative need for socialising (all I'm saying here is that we wouldn't perish without it), as oppose to thousands of years ago where it was the brick foundation of our survival. I mean would we really have degenerate delinquents running the streets if we were all apart of the ASD?

You guys do know that unless there is a clause in a contract specifically allowing a certain party to change the facts of a contract, unilateral contract changes are Illegal in the United States. I can assure you he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.

For all of you who are stating that he's a diabolical genius moving to prove a point, I leave you with this one quote (whose origins I entirely forget):

Never assume malice where stupidity will suffice.

Pretty much this. I know that I get annoyed when PSN stops in the middle of a game and tells me to click the 'Sure, why not?' button to continue...pawning noobs? I have no idea how to type in leet.

Never assume stupidity where malice is more likely.
