How are we going to do that? Everyone knows that things aren't nearly as fun as they used to be... people are even complaining about waterboarding now! what's this world coming to? Shoot, I remember when you could put a man on the rack - no problem.
No e-mail addresses? We need a list of the "yes" voters here! If we don't tell these guys they're idiots and that we don't vote for idiots - who will? This is an election year - they don't have any choice but to listen. Everyone here needs to e-mail them. I don't care if you're not an American, just pretend:P
Yeah, I have a feeling that if people had known what was going to happen - they'd have fought back like 93 did. Everyone else was probably under the impression that this was just another hijacking where the terrorists fly to some airport and demand the release of some people in exchange for the release of the passengers (never ends that way but at least the passengers usually all make it).
Sheeple? I always thought there were only sheep boys... man... I've been deceived. That is IT, I am just going to have to stop blindly believing commercials.
Anytime I here "stupid" and "google" I always think of Zoolander... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH7WdkJm3H0 (FF to 30 seconds). The video cuts it off a bit but I'm too stup, err lazy to look for another one.
You don't even need that... the comments on YouTube videos are a treasure trove of delicious stupidity. You can find everything from racists who can't even spell the slurs their using to people that continue to post "you suck" on Rock Band song preview videos.
Well come on... hindsight is always 20-20 isn't it? Ask any parent if they would have gone back and changed virtually anything in their lives to prevent their kid from dying before they did and they would say "yes". That doesn't mean they made the right choice at the time - just that they love their kids.
There are always prequels... I agree that aside from doing something ridiculous like taking the game to some completely different location where you happen to have the same types of powers available to you there wasn't much left that you could build a chronological sequel off of. I could see a game based on Rapture before you got there in BioShock 1 though.
Dr. Evil skipped straight to H for his release - Our early attempts at a tractor beam went through several preparations. Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working tractor beam, which we shall call... Preparation H.
If I hear some MBA start saying this I'll either stab myself in the eye with a pen or just one-up him and tell him that Web 3.0 is garbage and we should really be working toward the Web 5.0 initiative. Either way, should be a good time.
That's the very point the OP was making. The credit companies are already ridiculous. Not, "yay credit companies! it's totally ok that they can ruin your life!"
Seriously, I can't wait for DMCA part II to happen. It's not a matter of if, but when, we end up with another ridiculous law that takes away consumer rights. Clinton (obviously no longer in the running) said she didn't discuss net neutrality because she didn't even consider it a priority. How is effectively making it so that you can take a freeway to get to a big box store and a freaking gravel road with potholes to get to a mom & pop store not important? Does she not realize that small businesses continue to employ over half of our country? My cousin runs a small music shop. She is able to compete with big companies like Guitar Center by making about half of her sales through her website... but if it takes 2 minutes to load her site - no one will go there.
The real problem is that not only are the candidates clueless about the technology but they're clueless about the cause and effect relationships.

*BOOM* HEADSHOT!

Can we just shorten it to "-1 IP Idiot" so the mods can do it?

No... it'll still work the same.

rofl. The person that modded this "informative" is brilliant. That's awesome.
You're right... removing stag films from YouTube is terrible. Everyone should be able to post whatever they want on there... ugh.
WHOOOOOSH!
It's both!

Indeed. CNet - home of the 30 page article that's only 30 lines long.

Seriously... Just build a collection of a handful of celebs - bam you're ready to retire from the TSA.

Motives? the same they've always been - to do the most idiotic, nonsensical crap they can possibly get away with to continue to make money.
That's the very point the OP was making. The credit companies are already ridiculous. Not, "yay credit companies! it's totally ok that they can ruin your life!"
Well here you go. Now it all makes perfect sense... 'cause it's in English!
This is great. Between this site and that video game that teaches you Chinese - I've got free music for life!
Well... if you're using windows it's pretty easy - just install the language pack. Probably equally simple on apple / linux.
