You know, with a couple minutes of reading you too might be able to figure out that "trying to criminalize citizen journalism" is not the same thing as preventing the courts from getting random citizens to disclose their sources when they've spewed it as fact all over the internet.
"I'm pretty sure I heard Obama talking about 'spreading the wealth around'"
What a horrible quote. It's almost as if you're suggesting that Obama wants to do something about the poor other than round them up and exterminate them. Surely that's not the truth.
So when you see an interesting link in an article you're reading, what do you do? Click it and lose your place in the article? Keep reading and find three or four other interesting links on your way to the bottom, where you're then forced to remember the location of all the links (not to mention the fact that you wanted to click them)?
I was wondering the same thing... people have been using the fact that ISPs don't even say they won't log as a retort against the argument that Google might be spying, but if the ISP can still spy on it as it's passed to Google then you'd essentially be pissing away your privacy to TWO companies. Not like your ISP doesn't get everything else anyways...
I'm astonished at how seriously paranoid you are. There's literally no way Google could EVER prove to you that they weren't 'spying' on you. There are almost infinitely many ways you could prove they WERE spying on you. Now who do you think would provide a guarantee against spying on you, and who do you think would simply omit the issue and do their spying without bringing attention to it? Now, where exactly in your current DNS server's TOS does it say that they don't log data?
Examples? If there were examples then how would THEY trick you? No, all the examples have been hidden from the internets by the evil Googleman. They're puuuure evil and they only want you to be unhappy, but you'll never find proof! Just trust ME! I only want you to have puppies and cake!
If you're just going to be a paranoid fuck and ignore all discussion in favor of your prejudices then why even waste your time coming to this site? Obviously nobody's going to change your mind without buying you a fucking plane ticket to Google's data center so you can read the code yourself, and you're certainly not going to convince anyone of anything by making trite, sarcastic, baseless remarks. Even if someone were to take your point to heart, it still wouldn't prove what you're obviously trying to imply: that they're lying THIS time.
Way to post as AC too, ensuring that nobody will ever be able to communicate back to you just how fucking USELESS you are.
Yeah, I'd like to go ahead and apologize to everyone. I downloaded a song off the internet last night, permanently removing it from everyone else's iPod, CD collection, hard drive, tape, record, and long term memory. Hopefully Kanye West is hard at work making a replacement so that we won't have to go without for long.
Congratulations, you've figured out how MMOs work!
Now share with us your thoughts on how Monopoly isn't fun because each new game you start redistributes all the money you won.
If they simply continued raising boss levels without providing a way to reset everyone's gear, then either you would max out your gear and have it scale with the boss levels (which would be no fun, since half the fun of RPGs like WoW is figuring out which gear is best), or new players would have such a long, ever-expanding chain of gear upgrades that nobody would want to play.
Hummers still seem to be pretty popular around here, but maybe that's just because they've reached the price point where it's no longer cheaper to simply buy a crappy sedan and paint 'I'M A GIANT DOUCHEBAG' on the side.
Face it, if a couple was happily married when they had money and the woman decides to leave when the man no longer has income, then the woman was married to the money the entire time anyways. Is the man not part of HER family? Should she not support HIM?
Honest people don't mind becoming welfare recipients, because honest people don't mind paying their taxes to support those who've lost their jobs. Honest wives don't mind when their husband loses their job, because honest wives would expect their husband to stay with them if they were to become unemployed and know that they should do the same.

"Didn't you notice when they added about 10 new spirit rezzers to make corpse runs shorter?"
Yeah, MY idea of a fun time is holding W while my ghost runs across three zone... cry more.
So you only play turn based games I take it?
Why don't you just 'remote-view' the future and tell us?

Overreact much?

Why do you hate change so much?

Troll harder, he hasn't responded to all your posts yet! Your existence must be affirmed!!!
You're trying to play internet tough guy? On /.?
Reallllly?
Just how sad IS your life?
And yet I'd bet $20 that his bandwidth doubles yours ;)

As someone who grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, I say this with earnestly: fuck off.

Look up 'eggcorn'.
How is that a logical error? You think that if the sun wasn't coming up that the milkman would still arrive? They seem pretty damn connected to me.

It's called 'good game design'.
