The politics of envy are particularly pathetic. Maybe, those 95% of people should work harder and smarter, if they want more of the wealth? For example, they could start their own business rather than work for an exploitive boss? They could invest their money rather than blow it? That sort of thing.
In the world of the future, it will be possible for every single able-bodied working American to run his/her own business, and each will be staffed by a group of diligent and maintenance-free robots*

I'd love to see the MPAA sue Microsoft. Talk about a clash of the titans; the ensuing shitstorm of litigation would usher in the apocalypse, and leave nothing but ashes and smoke in its wake.
Most modern games:
Graphics
Storyline.........
Gameplay
It's rather disappointing, as a lot of modern games are interactive movies rather than games. If a problem exists at all it is most certainly this.
You're absolutely right. Some of my favorite games, the ones I play the most were on the SNES platform. I don't own a next-gen system and have no intention of buying one. From what I have played it seems to be all graphics and very little story line. Now if you'll excuse me I need to chase some kids off my lawn.
What in the hell are you talking about? Console games have been getting consistently more detailed in terms of storyline. Even in games where one isn't required they still usually tack on a shitty one. I mean, really? SNES? Maybe if you were pining away for the days of the text-input RPG I could see it, but don't try and tell me that Mario Kart had a more immersive story than Bioshock.
The only problem is that you get to make that choice only once, here on earth, with imperfect knowledge (which is why it's called 'faith', not 'science'). You can resent that, but here's a secret: there's a 'sure bet'. Live life as a Christian. If it turns out there's no God, you've lived a good life, the people around you will thank you for it, and you can go to dust in peace. If there is a God, you'll end up in heaven instead of the other place.
Thanks for the Pascal's Wager, it's just so goddamn fresh. I'm glad somebody finally stepped forward to explain it--breaking it down into a dichotomy where the choices were live as a Christian and be a good person or live as a Heathen and end up in hell. What a sophisticated and mature NEW take on Christianity!
You can hardly blame the ISPs for taking steps to forcefully reduce P2P activity. It's really the users' fault in the end. People saw it as just another vehicle for violating copyright, and the ISPs had to scramble to reduce their liability. Shame on the users for spoiling the technology for legitimate uses.
When will people realize that it is okay to be a young earth Creationist and still believe in science. The Darwinists have things mostly right, it's just that God created the Universe 6000 years ago and made it APPEAR to be much older. Time, as we observe it, is directly controlled by God and as such he can manipulate it to be anything He wills.

Map reveal ancient Chinee secret?
This is why I stick with tried and true Internet Explorer, rather than using a second-rate third-party browser just to be contrary.

The pioneering of this fledgling technology will be done by the porn industry. The implications!

Would the USA have allowed Nazi Germany to host the Olympic games? I DON'T THINK SO.
