That's because you don't own any Sony consoles, since Sony bought them everything they'd made was Playstation exclusive. But there are emulators for that;-)
Also The Turner Diaries and Mein Kampf...it would be great if a couple of sci-fi books could influence societies as much as Atlas Shrugged and The Turner Diaries, but carrying an opposite message in each case...
The victim of rape should not be punished. And being forced to birth the child of your rapist is an unimaginably cruel punishment that wouldn't even be fit for a convicted criminal.
THIS. It scares me when people say that women should be forced to give birth to their rapist's child, to say that is to severely dehumanize women.
In the case of Private Insurance, you can legally challenge them because they're not supposed to be making medical decisions off of financial ones by law.
Yeah sue them while you're dying and financially at the end of your rope. Capitalism saves the day with "choice" once more.
Under private insurance they will usually treat you until you run out of money and even a little more.
And who makes the decision to cut you off, and why do they do it? That's your private death panel and their incentive. Like the government death panel it's not called a "death panel," but that's what it is.
Landspeed cars break 320mph while driven by humans, but there's no car yet that could go around even a large track at any such speeds. Completely surpassing human drivers won't be so easy.
I saw the video, the big problem is that the steering inputs aren't smooth, in a corner the wheel is constantly sawing back and forth. They're working on fixing this now by monitoring professional drivers' brainwaves as they drive the course (not sure how that will help, I was thinking a smoothing algorithm would do).
That makes cars far more dangerous than terrorists, which you've blown about a trillion dollars on over the last decade or so. Universal adoption of driverless cars should be your #1 national priority.
Any time there is an unlimited supply, the government needs to help. Such cases include matters like "copyright" and "patent protection." The supply is unlimited and therefore must be enforced by government to use other means to get people to pay for something with an unlimited supply.
Any time there is an unlimited demandm the government needs to help. Such cases include matters like healthcare, water and electrical service. People need what they need and it has little to do with market conditions. Often is is "use or die." Government needs to ensure that needs of the people are met before suppliers are allowed to exploit the need to gain unlimited profits.
Or we could upgrade our ancient, primitive economic system to one that can handle limitless supplies and demands instead of trying to add more hackish fixes to our tarted-up barter system to struggle by with them...just something to think about.
But I think there is a big divide between the reasoning in the US, and in what I like to call "the rest of the modern world".
Yes, it's because the US has a lot of libertarians in it (one of the country's founding principles was the distrust of government, after all) and politics far to the right of any other country out there.
But change and experimentation, oh noes! Better to stick with the status quo than run any risk of making things worse, right? What if the river next to your radical "mud hut" dries up and a bear moves into the cave? WHAT THEN!?
There are death panels in both socialized medicine and private medicine with health insurance, the question is whether they're manned by government-employed medical professionals on a salary, or corporate-employed statisticians with a vested interest in your death.

D'oh, beaten. The extra dimension made it much harder in the later levels.
Some other good Psygnosis games you might not have heard of: G-Police and Shipwreckers.
Unfortunately they loved to put some clock-cycle-dependent code in their games making all of them a PITA to run on newer computers.

You don't offset a negative with another negative!
This is the piracy rate for *Ubisoft* games.
OH NOES I AM THWARTED!!!1UNO!
And a dude spinning in that chair and doing a 1-man circle jerk?

Actually, yes:

D'oh didn't realize we're talking pedestrian safety. Well in that case are we talking an F1 car or a new S-class?
Depends on the car, are we talking a Yugo or an F1 car?

The license is non-portable and becomes locked to the motherboard
Oh I'm sure this new license will be totally popular with the people who build their own PCs, especially gamers.

There are many in the US, luckily the rest of the world is mostly free of them. I first ran into them on Slashdot too.

I wish, but Fox News is now available internationally.

Oh and of course batteries, forgot that, us non-Apple-users take it for granted.
