You have no idea of WHY we even have government. We are all individual actors, Lions if you will. How do you tell a Lion he cant defend himself? Gun ownership is a RIGHT because no man or collection of men should be able to decide whether im a lion or not. DO you not understand the government should fear us, not the other way around? Who gave you the right to decide who can have kids or own guns? From what authority does this power of yours spring?
It was good but hot and power hungry. I was using a Q6600 as a DVR/Video Compressor after i upgraded to Sandy Bridge. Recording and compressing the 2012 Olympics killed it after about 6 days of solid CPU use. Im sure it was the mobo that died, but i wasnt going to resurrect it in the Ivy Bridge era.
That is a serious infringement of Liberty, IMHO. If the federal government wants to setup a radio free zone, they should do it on government owned land. (please dont go of the deep end about eminent domain). It doesnt surprise me that the zone was setup in the 'government can do no wrong' 1950's.
Privacy = DEFENSE. The point is to limit your surface area vulnerable to attack, and it is ALWAYS under attack. Have you ever heard of Cardinal Richelieu?
And its all for naught. They arent interested in ultimate accuracy. Even fake data points provide useful data. Your individual account is very much meaningless, but that fact that you participate at all says volumes to them.
Obama may appear self-directed, but hes a pure sock-puppet. And fuck your last 2 sentences. We dont use hyperbole to execute people. PROVE they are standing on a nuke and we'll talk. Better a city burn then we lose who we are supposed to be as a whole. Your reasoning is the root of government abuse.
What an apt turn of phrase. I have a natural right to any and all knowledge i can accumulate, 'God' set it up that way. We use artificial means to stop that from occurring and you are chastising US on morality?
With a combination of streaming, downloading and caching, all your arguments disappear. What is wrong with ordering a movie and waiting an hour or so for it download? You pay an enormous price for instant stream. What can be done isnt being done because the corps want us to trade privacy for functionality.
Confirmed personally. OSX 10.8.2, 2011 mac mini. Entered the text into the search box in finder, crashed. It recovered fully in about 30 seconds though.
Hold on. A gaming PC that is treated like a console DOES NOT require more troubleshooting. The problem is everyone wants their gaming PC to ALSO be a full blown Workstation. Build yourself a steambox, standardize the hardware/software stack incl controllers etc, and you have a PC console that will smash anything Sony or MS puts out. They had their chance and they fucked it up badly. All the cool things that we get for free on PC, MS packages up and SELLS. They wont even let the devs set the price or give it away.You last point is a joke. Compare Skyrim on Xbox versus Skyrim on PC. Its not even close due to the fact that Skyrim PC has Steam Workshop and people will be making free items for the game for the next decade or so. Consoles are freer my ass.

US-centric website. You should know this.
Agree 1000%. They should port the code to something else.
I wish they would hurry up and stop differentiating what I have access to by what type of computer im currently using.
Then those programs wouldnt be allowed on my computer. Choice, its great.

Yes, but are you glad we enforce the wearing of clothes with guns?
Do you even understand what the word Liberty means?

Maybe you should read something to help cure that smugness.

It was widely known that Bill gates wanted to 'infiltrate the living room' He didnt want Sony to take over that space before he got a chance to.

Microsoft invested in Apple as a token gesture. It was an insignificant event save for people like you who took it hook, line, and sinker.
Well then hes a dumbass for not going full Corp. You cant play with the big dogs if they know they can take your personal property.

Its a pocket computer on par with Star Trek Scifi, and you dont understand how people find that compelling?
And this is nothing new. Consider the cellular baseband in your phone the 'demarc'
Sometimes you have to hoist the black flag and slit a few laws to get the best the world has to offer.

IM sorry but Blu-ray is not 'the ultimate'. It might be the ultimate optical disc, but HDD based video smashes it in every metric.
You do realize that the install base is irrelevant by itself without discussing attach rate...right?
