PC gaming may not be dead but it is has changed significantly over those past two decades. I'm not sure there are really fewer "really hot titles" however some generes seem have fallen by the wayside. What does seen to be an increasing trend is porting console games to the PC - or developing with consoles in mind from the start. In the past games would be developed for the PC only could have been far better (IMO) if they did not have to cater for console players (e.g dragon age).
Not necessarily true. In a similar vein, if you oppose race-based affirmative action, I'd suggest that people *not* join the KKK or the nazi party in an effort to "end up in the middle".
You're telling me that in the age of Twitter and Facebook and SMS and with a quadrillion internet review sites of one kind or another, with posted product ratings and comments.
Yes. Especially when you consider astroturfing, and massive hype generating publicity. For Example: Bioware Dragon Age.
Nothing to do with "scientific" and everything to do with dogma. If someone elses religion determines that I should be a slave (or persecuted for homosexuality, or whatever) then I'm screwed. If a secular government does the same thing its equally bad, but more likely to change.
Practitioners of religion are ignorant insomuch as they don't know what they don't know. Believing you will be reincarnated based on faith may make you happy but it based on ignorance.
No amout of Ph.D's or M.D's can change this.
In fact, it allows them to practice their own religion.
I find this highly unlikely. Can you provide any examples where a person or peoples religions (or lack of) conflicts with the law of Allah and they were allowed to continue practicing said religion.
What we do with a sword is not forcing others to believe, but to obey the law of Allah.
I don't see any difference here. Using an unobservable supernatural world as your authority to force others to your will is abhorent.
religion helps a believer to lead happy life and frees him from anxiety
1. You use an article illegally
2. The value of the copyright is increased
3. The copyright holder sells the now valuable copyright to someone with the expertise to extract the value
4. Profit
Why would you want to prevent selling something you own to another party who considers it to be more valuable? Is this not the basis for all trade?
Checklists etc are necessary in the military because if you screw up in the military, your ability to kill people is reduced. This is not the case in the mecical world.

if people are willing to take the risks to get a "cure" now, they shouldn't be stopped.
I'm having trouble understanding your point of view. Kubuntu functions almost identically to Windows XP/7.
I can't freakin' STAND Gnome. I never really understood the appeal of it...just seemed like a convuluted mess to me.
This is a perfect summary of the article.

Water from the Nile is actually quite tasty, provided you get it upstream of Cairo.
Surely thats meaningless as I'm fairly sure the ruling class didn't approve the use of the guillotine the first time around.
Missing letters can be a pain in the arse but I quite like the clanged ones.
It was the manure.

Damnit! Why didn't you tell me this last week?

There is no difference between this and any other state power.
The difference is that secular laws can and do change when they are discovered to be "wrong". For example slavery/homosexuality.

You deserve a +5 insightful for that - if we wern't so far off topic already...

Where are the mod points when you need them? Dragon Age was very dissapointing - last time I ever get sucked into buying a console port.
