Spent more time on those games then a full time job. Folks said I had no life, but they were wrong. I had a lot of them. So what if they were all virtual?
I bet half those people now spend all their time on facebook/farmville etc
If you ride a bike on a shared footpath in Victoria you are required to warn pedestrians before you approach them. You can do this with a bell or a verbal warning. But the vast majority of pedestrians wear earphones.
If you're on a shared path as a pedestrian shouldn't you equally be required to realise there's bikes zipping around and to watch out?
Pedestrians include young children, dogs, etc and most of them are not aware of the hazards.
Well educate them. Kids need to learn common sense young. Dogs I'll give you but it doesn't take a genius to realise getting hit by a bike is gunna be bad, even a dog knows that. Everyone should be aware, bikers, peds, kids and dogs alike.
"We made the Internet and it seems to me that we ought to be the first folks to get out there and protect it,' Alexander said."
That's like saying the guy who dug the foundations built the house and is responsible for it?
And when he says "securing the Internet against both internal and external attackers" surely by it's nature all attacks are internal.....or external, whatever.

" 'The government is quite happy to legislate that people can lose two demerit points for having music up too loud in their cars, "
And what the fuck is a demerit point? Do the government hold a big board on everyone with smiley and frowney faces too?
"Oh, yeah, the Hurt Locker, it wasn't abysmal marketing that led to it's poor showing, it was the file sharers. Honest.".
It wasn't abysmal marketing that was the problem. I saw plenty or marketing for it. It's just the film was abysmal. I dl'd it and would've felt jipped if I went to the cinema or bought the dvd, at least with jarhead nothing was supposed to happen so the nothing was something. No letter on my front door though so whatever.
this guy actually assassinated my mother's mother's father's mother's father's uncle's mother's mother's father. How could they to market this game to me? The disgrace.
Right, you light the torches, I'll get the pitchforks, let's get this thing banned!
As I said, just check The Ten Commandments. Especially those saying that you should not kill, rape or steal.
The first half are pretty much just about worshipping god then you have some good morals which aren't exactly Christian exclusive. Basically don't be a dick, and it doesnt mention rape at all.
The things you mention are all works of people. Things people have done with or without religion. They're products of conservativism and traditionalism, and have very little to do with religion.
You could also argue that religion is the work of people and any good or bad from it stems in essence from people. Like you said it's mainly an excuse rather than a reason and there's plenty excuses if you want one.
Die Hard Arcade on the sega saturn. God it was great, it even did QTE well and back when they were still new and novel. You could pick up all kinds of melee weapons and guns, 2 player co-op, Thems were the days them.

"On average we get attacked between 7000 and 9000 times per second.'"
Why is the average a range? Why not just say "On average we get attacked 8000 times per second.'"
Or are they just making stuff up?
-CF
if they made it up they should've said they get over 9000, or is that too obvious?

Oh, I'm sure they would, but the point is moot since 8000 downloads != 8000 lost sales.
That is true, probably more like 2k but to be honest that's a number straight from my ass like alot of the figures thrown around.

And some parts of the entertainment industry do not even pay to the artists, so they have even more money to create laws and have them enforced.
Well, they do say it takes money to make money.

Which is a completely meaningless statistic on its own. I'm sure numerous indy developers would prefer 2000 sales and 8000
No they'd proabably prefer 10,000 sales. But hey you can get it for free and don't see the consequences so who cares, right?
Actually, this has come about because a woman stepped out in front of a speeding ambulance - siren on, lights blaring - just last Friday.
Put it down to evolution in action and move on.
Thats because bing is a "decision engine" and sucks.
...can be at the top. or even on the first page, or even on the first 10 pages. You want a higher rank? Get a better site and better tagging.
What's the point of a 250GB drive it all I have on it are dinky PSN games?
Bragging rights over 360 console owners.
I got a 250GB on my 360 chock full of full and arcade games. Does that get me the bragging rights.

atleast with jarhead nothing interesting was supposed to happen

two members of Adobe's Reader Sandbox Team." What the--Adobe has a security team? That's crazy talk!
No, they have a sandbox team, they just happened to messing around on a laptop while playing in their sandbox.

You can't make something from nothing...except for god. Nothing can have always existed...except for god. Or something like that, right?

Ain't that the truth, and even before that they were shady.
Unless they explode after crossing the red line it ain't gunna work!
