Why don't they just start telling that the USA is not a society and that it contains no communities? Because those would imply socialism and communism! *waves evil Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin handpuppets*
... unless you're not one of the handful of pre-approved mods who require no justification for cutting out larger swaths of knowledge than the 1984 Ministry of Truth.
Apparently the creators of Robot Chicken don't realize that DeVry doesn't do ME degrees... A ten second review of their web site would reveal that. Who lacks credibility now?
Maybe they will 200 years from now, after humanity has terraformed the entire solar system.
Agreed. Most cyberbullies don't care if their target knows who is verbally abusing them because they're more popular then their victim already so have no fear of reprisal. This is about making sure nobody ever gets their free speech right online ever again, as lawsuits become the sword that kills the first amendment.
How is this different from having an agent sit in a car across the street and follow the car whenever it moves? Are FBI agents not allowed to make use of technology to make their jobs more efficient?
By that logic, shouldn't it be even more efficient to just implant GPS devices in the entire population's skulls? There needs to be controls to make sure this tech is not abused, and due process ensures this. It's why warrants are required.
The federal appeals court in the Washington circuit where Afifi's case was filed ruled in August that the collection of GPS data amounts to a government "search" that required a warrant. The Obama administration asked the court to change its ruling, calling the decision "vague and unworkable" and arguing that investigators will lose access to a tool they now use "with great frequency."
So the FBI admits they're doing a lot of GPS tracking without warrants.
And wikipedia admins rejoice. They don't want any more opinions diluting their own. The more reasonable people they can chase away, the better, from their point of view. If wikipedia really were open to all, they would not be that important. They would not have as much control. No, wikipedia admins, for the most part, do not want to share their toy with you.
I'm noticing that Wikipedia is slowly converging with Uncyclopedia, the weird cousin nobody wants to talk about.
Actually, outsiders are hated and despised. If any of the wiki admins finds out that YOU have been encouraging people to contribute, expect a lifetime ban.
This from the self-described encyclopedia anyone can edit.
Nowhere did the parent to your post claim that he was the creator of the webcomic. He only wrote that he "detailed" it.
Correct. I saw that the comic in question (Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth) had a laughably slim entry (barely a paragraph) so it got extended into a full-fledged page. The entire thing got snuffed out because, according to the discussion page, a webcomic without awards is not notable, regardless that it's a prominent feature of gamespy.com's page.
We're headed into Highlander Sequel territory full steam ahead, here...
Ah, an entire series of movies I can say quite happily that I have never seen.
After the original, nothing could have possibly compared. There can be only one.
Highlander 2 tried explaining the whole immortal thing with... aliens. Thanks for bringing midichlorians into a classic movie and ruining the whole franchise! Is it any wonder even the following directors don't consider it canon?
Manning, if prosecuted successfully, could yet become the very LAST thing those who pursue him could possibly want: a martyr to the cause of open and accessible information in regards to government corruption.
Once they have all those phones registered and ready to track, the Chinese Big Brother will have to conquer one more obstacle: Convincing all those people to keep their phones turned on all the time in order for this tracking system to actually work.

Remember, the law requires all patents to be "novel" and "nonobvious".
What will become of the dozens of geniuses who patent laser pointers as "cat exercise systems"?

Just ask the makers of Angry Birds!

It's also hard to gain credibility when you quote robot chicken.
Good thing I was quoting Titan Maximum, eh?
... when the creators of Robot Chicken make fun of you in their latest series, Titan Maximum:
Willie: I can help! I have a diploma in mechanical engineering!
Palmer: *sarcastically* From DeVry.
Will it transform into a music cassette?

I had entire PAGES of material written in wikipedia deleted because the webcomic I detailed "had won no awards." I gave up on those snobs ever since.

Cell is incredibly dangerous. He's already absorbed 17 and 18 and achieved his ultimate form.
... for the camera to give the error message "Cannot take picture, subject exceeds maximum allowed ugliness parameter"?
The publisher has also confirmed that there is no intention to censor or modify the game – because then it 'wouldn't be Mortal Kombat.
So the gaming industry is finally admitting why Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe failed to be a commercial hit...
