Hint: Usage defines what is a word. People use 'irregardless', even if you think its wrong, it is a word. Dictionaries are not the end all be all of language either. A dictionary isnt all inclusive, it is not a listing of all 'proper' words, thats a fallacy. Its a best effort to put as many well defined words as possible in one place.
The key part you are missing is that most 'British' titles WERE earned, often at the tip of a sword. It is the descendants to whom the titles were passed that did nothing to earn them where the true evil of titles begins. It is not a far jump to go from lifetime titles for a temporary job to passing those titles to their descendants. To be quite frank, Senator is not that 'lofty' of a position, certainly not enough to be titled for life.
Ascii art is not conversation, its mostly used to troll and annoy. We can remove it without removing the bulk of discussions, thats why its not allowed.
Senator and congressmen are not lifetime titles, even the Mr. President is dubious and in no way are they official titles. We do not have landed gentry titles in this country for a reason.
And all of those are wrong. We have strong reasons for disallowing of titles in this country. YOu are not supposed to call a non-active Senator, Senator, its not a lifetime title. Newt is no longer Mr. Speaker.
Recognizing that I have no right to tell two humans they cant love each other is not the same thing at all as being comfortable watching two guys making out. Male homosexuality is gross to me on a PERSONAL level, that does not mean i wish them harm or to 'go away', only that I dont really enjoy witnessing it.
You are making a mountain out of a molehill, there is a lot of desire for tablet as console to occur. Controller support is there already, built into the most modern systems. Any tablet console scheme will support the full range of traditional controllers that current gen consoles do. ( wireless, dbl sticks, 4 buttons, 8 way POV, analog and digital triggers). If you think Win 8 tablets and Win 7/8 phone/tablets wont support an Xbox controller natively then you really aren't paying attn. Android has controller support baked in, you KNOW Apple has a scheme ready to go. Its going to happen.
Oh you mean like the fragmentation we see now with kinect, move and wii plus?? The fact is every modern console manufacturer has shattered the 'it has to ship with it or no one will support it" mantra. Even the Xbox360 can be assumed to have a hard drive now, even though it didnt originally ship with one, due to MS adding onboard flash and allowing USB as HDD.
In the next console hardware generation, do you honestly think the tablet folks are going to sit back while MS Sony and Nintendo continue to dominate the market? We are not going to see 3 players next console round, but rather 6 or 10. Apple, FOR SURE, will be launching a gamepad device at some point in the future. All the tools are in place for an Apple console-like experience, all that is missing is the officially supported apple controllers.
Ive always thought that if, as a lawmaker, you propose a law that is later found to be Unconstitutional, said lawmaker should be charged with TREASON for knowingly attempting to circumvent the Constitution
I had an original, day-one Gameboy all through high school. As long as I wasnt using it in class non one cared. But I was also an A/V nerd so all the teachers knew me. I was also a bit of a troublemaker so the VP knew id be in his office soon enough for something anyways.
You do realize that you are using the term wholly out of context, correct? Are you wasting our time or trying to make an unfunny joke? He did use an absolute, EVER. No one should EVER be raped, EVER, in the entirety of the Cosmos. No human should inflict that type of harm on another for any reason, even in retribution for an equally heinous act. It is an impossible position to condone and why i will always call out people who think 'pound in the as prison' is an acceptable term to use in the 21st century.
apple products are not designed to be non-repairable. They are designed without USER REPAIRABLE options in mind, a very significant difference. BMW doesnt design its cars to be user repairable either, but you can if you have the proper tools/training.
No we get constant bombardment of guilt. You looked at a 17 year old and felt funny in your pants? pervert. You admired a child's smile too long, pedophile. Took a picture of a child you dont know in the park? pedophile. Dared to stare at a woman's heaving and mostly exposed chest, pervert.

Your comment makes a snide remark about microsoft? Go get a real joke.

HDMI out (or Widi or Airplay) and bluetooth gamepads = ANY tablet can easily be a gaming console.

There are few absolutes I agree with, this is one of them.
Thnak you for pointing out that guys have been doing this for millennia.
Oh my system can run .exes, but only under the yoke of virtualization :)
