So Mr Romney is going to do better? you want to see a HUGE sell out, look at him and is multiple stances on every issue depending on who is paying the most
Seriously, blaming this on one administration, one congress, or one party is utterly ignorant. Fact is, the rich have far to much control and mr rich guy himself taking the mantel of presidency will lead our country back to double down bush era, less taxes and more power for the rich; more hardship for everyone else.
And if you think the recording industry will have less control with a republican in the white house...well then i will take back my statement that your ignorant, instead ill just call you plain stupid.
Lets just be clear, i cannot imagine the American people will accept romney as a president, i think he will lose and lose big. If the right wing was serious about anything, they would put up electable candidates...huntsman was a good choice, but retards herd the stupid in that party, in turn, the right wing has gone from a political party to a cult.
I am shocked that the name Tristram is of such vital importance that now 2 people has made a utterly pointless comment, requiring me to make a utterly pointless comment...Lets stick with facts, and the facts are, this is completely off the topic of my post
I dont give a shit about the spelling of the name of the town, tristan, tristraminang, who the fuck cares? and why does it matter so much? my point was, they didnt get creative, not the name of the stupid town, seriously.....lets just drop this because i am losing IQ points by reading your comments.
I didnt realize that in order to play a game you needed to memorize the spelling every single thing (citys, characters, etc..)....I guess all those hours of playing diablo 2 up to hell level was just me being stupid, all i really needed to do was memorize words to get my diablo cred..but you are half correct, the first one i thought was stupid and didn't really ever play it.
Now the question remains, exactly how much little info do you need of me to come up with even more wild assumptions?
So far, i have bought a game that i cannot seem to play. It did take hours last night to get logged in, i played for a bit but it was bed time. Got some time today, but now the servers are down for patching....
So i paid 60.00 for a game i cant even play single player without the OK from blizzard.
So here is the thing, diablo 2 was a great game, the animations where awesome, the story was compelling and the game play was fun. I am not so sure you get any of these from 3.The animations are more drawings then anything else, the skills are all locked so you cant switch them easy; also, once again, here we are starting in tristan....its like imagination went out the window.
Its not to say its fun, the hour i got to play was fun...not diablo 2 fun, but fun; I could be very wrong about this game, act 2 might bring in some cool stuff....but with all the log in problems and having big brother blizzard controlling when i play a 60.00 game, i honestly suggest people dont buy it, Simply to stand up for what they are doing. If i would of realized that single player was going to make me log in, i wouldn't of ever bought this game.
Should of done my research, o well...hope nobody else falls in this trap.
People have been tracked through methods since way before 'google it' became a catch phrase..You seem to be against the system, this differs from being against the top players in the system. On your thinking, you simply cannot exists because everyone is tracked, one way or another, you cannot remove yourself from this system without very drastic changes to lifestyle, the internet being the least of your problems
Infact, the internet can be completely anonymous if you know what your doing; but im not here to give a education course on privacy. im here to say
Tracking is a reality of commerce now, well it always has been, the internet makes it easier...you cannot do commerce and not be apart of this system.
and
You can safely and anonymously search the web, use e-mail, and other legal and illegal uses.
I worked for dell tech support for years...and i can say this for 100% sure, woe to the poor technician that informs the customer that the dvd they just spent 30.00 for will not work unless you upgrade the OS.
Ever try and help someone fix their computer? ya...now add command lines, then add 10000 different versions...Your average user will be unable to understand linux, linux is for power users and people who want to specialize there computer, for your average gamer/home user, windows is the only viable option; while i realize you might be hard pressed to put yourself out of your shoes and into someone else, there is a reason why the free OS doesn't take off, and its big enough to have 'free' as barley a plus.
He expressed his opinion and i countered that opinion. A asshole is someone who beats someone up for having a difference in opinion; While i consider the commenter wrong in his thinking, asshole, or any such negative thought of him, never came in my head.
Claiming one country should forgo their culture because you said yours is better is not a very good argument. Maybe some people dont want to go out and prefer to stay home and listen to music, is there is something wrong with that? while i am not bashing your culture, i think its great if you have more community based entertainment...but USA is different for a variety of reasons and it would be easier to change the record companys then it would be to change an entire culture.
Its funny, most the time its Americans are being accused of the very same thing your doing.
I have a hard time believing it was math. Why? because nobody was doing math. You cannot gamble on a massive market built on giving people loans who cannot pay for those loans and not have a crash; the math doesnt work.
It is greed that was responsible for this, greed and selfishness; mainly the banks, but some home owners as well. While its great to try and point the blame at some mathematical abstract theory, it doesnt help bring light to the true problem and that is a culture of greed that always finds a way to skirt around the rules. They are like a kid figuring a way to get daddys gun, but when they shoot themselves in the foot, they blame it on the gun, the bullet, the firing chamber, or the trigger, not once do they look at the dumb idea of playing with the gun in the first place.
what are you 10? why do you talk like that? do you talk to people on the streets like that? If you cant make a point without insults, then you cant make a point.
That documentary had so many leaps and assumptions that it was hard to follow. Basically, it showed itself as so bias that the worship of beer seemed more important then facts; undermining the very fabricate of truth it tried to create. It makes such a leap that if it wasn't for beer, civilized society would of never been created, but the impossibility of knowing that is really never mentioned. There are more then just one thing that started civilization moving, declaring it all to revolve around beer is ridiculous. What about the wheel, same argument could be made. While i admit beer has a strong place in our history, it is not the end-all-be-all that this documentary tried to make it seem. At least, that was my impression of it; i guess if i was a beer lover, i may of seen it different, or maybe if i would of been interested in the whole thing, i was over a friends house and barley paying attention, so watch it for yourselves.
I think its a provable fact that none of us have any idea about the reality we live in. We probably experience less then 1% of it and we probably know only 10% of it..though this is all speculation because again, we dont know that much.
Standing in firm belief of a god, or lack of...is equal ignorance. While following fact base is certainly the best way to handle it, this holds in what you don't know as well; It is not a fact that there is no intelligent design, or more broadly, a spiritual side of life.
Well i have 'invented' something just for people like you.
basically, its a backup with 2 car batterys on the side, there is a slide-out that comes around to the front, it has place for keyboard, mouse and up to a 30" screen (though for extra, i can cut that down to make it lighter) The back pack holds a mid size computer, has a opening for the back end ports. (and of course, the battery's run the computer)
If you act now, i will throw in the Lawn chair that can be placed between your back and the backup, just reach behind and pull down(just like this post)
"With the tiny difference that that doesn't involve attacking people."
History differs in your assessment, the only reason they are not waging all out religious war is because the world is interconnected and the majority of people will not tolerate it.
I can guarantee that if the world society crumbles, this harmless religion will organize large scale attacks to convert; there is nothing about them that has changed since middle ages, same book, same structure, same belief, same ignorance, and same power hungry ideologues running it. The only thing that stops them is the world around them.
"The government argued that the arrangement would give ISPs and companies time to identify and scrub infected PCs, systems that would otherwise be disconnected from the Internet if the control servers were shut down"
The quickest way to indemnify them is to have them removed from the internet.
computer user: "hey why is this computer not connecting to the internet" another computer user: "dont know, guess we better get someone that knows something" someone that knows something: "so this is why...and this what you did and this is how we are going to fix it" computer user "yay im on the internet"
seems a little more simple then the governments solution...
umm...unless the government is a hybrid theology....then the government is ok.
Lets also not forget about the republican Governor stripping citys of their local governments in favor of a pseudo dictator.
http://wearethepeoplemichigan.com/issues/emergency-manager-legislation/
it is also fair to say that this was initially a democratic law, but once republicans took control...they injected it with steroids, crack and topped that off with a mug of pure caffeine.
I agree, the republican controlled government is a problem.

there are lots of search engines....google it if you dont belive me.

You said it, culture is evolving.
The context of my comment is forcing a culture change, evolving is different then changing in the context of my message.
