^I have one (actually two, in serial) for my rig, monitor, router, etc. I've gone through several power cuts and, so far, nothing wrong has happened *fingers crossed*

Sometimes I think about getting a UPS, but I still haven't done it.

Please do. Always keep all electronics on a surge protector.

If your internet runs over any kind of copper cable (I.E. DSL, Hybrid Fiber Coax etc'), get a surge protector on that as well.
The amount of callouts I have had because of shit going wrong over the years due to lack of surge protectors is nuts.

I ended up getting the surge protector!! Now I don't have to worry (as much...)

Good work. :) A high quality PSU can make the difference as well. ;)
Ever seen a SHAW PSU catch on fire and explode? Haha

Wow. Who is he trying to fool with this? Regulations limit the shit that you can do? No shit, that's what they're for. Much like the ban on slavery limited people's freedom to make money off of unpaid workers. It's a miracle that any industry still exists today.

Indeed.

I want to believe that he said that because members of the industry are against the idea of having to deal with gambling laws, not because he believes in what he said. Still, it's amazing (and not in a good way) how many people have no clue on what world we live in and why some laws and protections are in place.

But of course, it's the US, where apparently some people still believe that anything is ok if it's good for the business.

The ESA is just a mouthpiece of the big publishers, nothing they say comes from their own motivation.

I know. But there are better ways to say that stupidity. When you're in that kind of position and PR relevance, you need to know how to say certain things in a way that don't make you look like a fool, something that the ESA president didn't do.

They take their PR advice from entities like EA and Activision.
