    Fuck you. I never agreed to trade my privacy for your misplace sense of security (theater).

    Harvey the nerd, or Harvey the partisan troll. It is up to the reader to decide.

    What exactly does this story have to do with obamacare?

    Please do the world a favor and grow up.

    Thanks for the list, I did not realize it was that extensive. One issue I do see though is that a number of the big publishers dont show up on that list, like EA and Ubisoft. (Except for some older games.) But they have much more draconian DRM schemes. It seems like you are going to get stuck locked into at least one of the DRM schemes.

  4. Re:An open system on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 1

    Interesting, thanks for the link.

    I do think it is pertinent to mention though that many of the games on that list are not current hits, and the ones that are come from a few select publishers. Most of the big publishers can only be found on that list with old games.

    I have never heard of anyone running out of keys, is there a story or something that you can point me too?

    Besides valve games, what games force you to use Steam?

  7. Re:An open system on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And if they ship you a damaged install disc, or a cd key that they have released online so it has been marked as pirated. I'll stick to Steam. I realize there are downsides, but from my POV the upsides outweigh them.

    I've never wanted to resell my games. I actually think people that do are a little bit odd, but you may feel free to purchase the disc version from your local box store or Amazon. You can then resell that one. I will continue to snap up 6 month old games for 75% off through Steam though.

    I assume you are trying to imply that the measles outbreak came from Mexico. Too bad you are full of shit. One of the members of the church visited Indonesia and brought it back.

    Sometimes the "You're a fucking idiot" rhetoric is just the right thing to say. It has been told to me before, and if I already hold respect for the person telling me that, it gives me cause for introspection. Patting me on the back and saying you tried your best will not.

    Yea, even the gun ranges are not safe. But then again, no where is really 100% safe.

    You respect ALL of your co workers? You are a better man than I.

    I have little to no respect ofr coworkers that cannot perform. I know on-site techs that couldn't tell you how to set up Outlook without tier two holding their hand. I know network guys who cannot fathom that they fat fingered a config line, and instead blame everything on a particular service. This is even when you preemptively test said service and verify it works before you go to them. There are a number of my co-workers I do not respect, because they have earned no respect.

    I also have co workers that I look up to and hold in high esteem.

    But respect ALL of my coworkers? Not possible.

    I am guessing he loves his wife and kids. I also hazard a guess that he does not love the ones on the mailing list.

    I certainly treat loved ones differently then co workers. do you not?

    Motive. It is a moot point though as the other nations have already admitted that they did so because they thought Snowden was abroad. See other posts for sources, the links are plastered all through the comments.

    If the admission by the guilty party isn't enough for you, what do you need to prove it to you?
