You know, adapting your position to changing realities is generally viewed as rational.
And if that's what these senators and representatives actually did it would be a good thing. Unfortunately they change their minds on things purely based on who gave them the biggest campaign contribution.
Yeah, exactly. It is actually far worse than you originally thought. It's an admittedly below average book yet it is given what seems to be an above average rating.
Yeah you gotta love when these chicken hawk, draft dodging Repuglicans trash people who didn't skip out of military service while trying to wrap themselves in the flag (see also Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield, etc).
You're further behind the times than the Senator. Droid took the lead.
You said "majority" not "the lead". Majority means more than half. 33% is not more than half but BlackBerry + iOS = 54.1% which is a majority. Either way, it was a sarcastic reply.
As with most Packt titles, the copyediting is quite poor, with inconsistent punctuation and plenty of errata that should have been caught in the production process:
So thus clearly worthy of the 8/10 rating. Is this a fucking joke? A book that has poor writing, poor copy editing and has "plenty of errata" and it's given an 8/10? And people still think these reviewers aren't being paid off?

Righthaven Loses
·
· Score: 2
The thing is that Righthaven is owned by Stephens Media so they wouldn't really be giving up anything. Righthaven is basically a front company for Stepehens Media to sue people and funnel money back to themselves without having been themselves named as the plaintiff. One of the issues, amongst many, that the judge had was the fact that Righthaven didn't disclose the fact that they were acting as a plaintiff in place of Stephens Media who did not want to be named in the suit.
How has it been missing? Chambliss, like almost every other Senator and Representative, already has a webpage with all that information already. This app is just some lame repackaging of his webpage and a call feature.
Why do I get the feeling if Chambliss was a D, people would love his embrace of technology?
When has samzenpus ever posted anything that was truly newsworthy? About only thing he posts is idle shit, idle shit posted outside of idle to get around the fact that almost everyone has blocked idle, and shill reviews for Packt Publishing books.
Well them not owning the copyrights is actually a big part of the issue. To have standing to sue for copyright infringement you have to *drum roll* own the copyrights. Righthaven was basically a front company who was only given the "right to sue" but not the actual copyrights and was being used as a way to funnel winnings back to Stephens Media.
So a company can't hire a third party law firm to blanket sue?
Not when that company is acting as the plaintiff but has no standing to bring the lawsuit. In this case, Righthaven had no standing to sue as they did not hold the copyrights to the works they were suing over. This is basically a DUH decision. It would be outrageous for the judge to have decided otherwise.
Based on the previous slashdot story and TFA, that's the gist of what this is saying. A copyright holder can't have a generic contract with a litigation firm; they must hire them under contract to sue on their behalf in a specific case.
Yes, they can not act as a plaintiff in lawsuits that they have no standing to bring. What exactly do you find so hard to understand about this?
Contrary to your implication I don't believe "good game = praised by critics" since, as you point out, plenty of schlockware gets 9/10, 10/10 etc ratings. DNF on the other hand got the reviews it deserved since it was a steaming pile. Good thing this garbage will either be forgotten rather quickly and fade into obscurity or will stick around as the butt of jokes it deserves to be.
Is it just me, or were crazy comedies in the 70s, 80s and early 90s on average a little less abysmal?
It's just you. There were plenty of terrible comedies in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The problem is that your nostalgia has only made you remember the good ones and all the shitty ones you never saw in the first place or forgot about since they were terrible.
This is what happens when you get big corporations running the show. and of course, Hollywoodizing crap. Let's make it shiny and expensive, but not give any value. (it's like going from the great black & white movies, to the trashy color movies that came out).
You do realize that those "great" black & white movies were made by Hollywood, right? And there were many terrible black and white films. This sounds like the same nonsense when people were whining about how "talkies" were ruining the film industry.

You spent all that time mining bitcoin yet you want to use them to buy shit quality books?
Yeah, exactly. It is actually far worse than you originally thought. It's an admittedly below average book yet it is given what seems to be an above average rating.
Yeah you gotta love when these chicken hawk, draft dodging Repuglicans trash people who didn't skip out of military service while trying to wrap themselves in the flag (see also Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield, etc).
Then you better get someone to whip out their checkbook like Packt does. They don't give out slashvertisements for free.
Not only that but it is apparently also poorly written, poorly copy edited and has "plenty of errata".
You have to forgive them. Only a few years ago did they realize that the Internet was a not a big truck but a series of tubes.
And Packt is the Yugo of book publishers.

Are you hoping to get tweeted pics of him in his boxers with a visible boner?
WTF, this is exactly what has been missing.

Because you're an idiot?
It depends on how quickly the lobbyists get new bribes in to him.

Do you really want Rep. Weiner sending you pics of himself?

Then maybe they should have made it more like a big truck that you can dump stuff on. It might handle the load better.

No, if the game had actually not sucked it would have gotten positive reviews. The reason it is getting slammed is purely because the game sucked.
What's amazing is that it runs the games at a playable speed.
It's really a sad state for software in general when something like this is considered "amazing".
