Better, simpler game: Choose a side. While that side is standing and clapping, chug. Make sure you have 9-1 already in your phone, you'll probably need it.
An individual who seeks to minimize his tax obligations or a government that feels that it is ENTITLED to tax everything that moves?
First one. Second one can be seen to come along as a result of the first. I'd like to think if people didn't dodge taxes we wouldn't see so many of them.
Every single aspect of Alpha Protocol apart from the choices/consequences system is utterly mediocre.
So very true. It wasn't the fact that there was a "win game" button that made me dislike it. Those buttons are not all that rare. It was the fact you could collect SEVERAL "win game" buttons and just not even have a challenge anymore.
But to a human the 5 seconds or whatever it happens to be (been years since I've watched Jeopardy) isn't much. Watson can go through a lot of possibilities in five seconds, or even just four and give the answers at the last moment.
Slightly worse, I'd say. You're a single person, so you can just point at a color, whatever it may be, and call it good. They have to pass a resolution to create a committee to appoint a group to review the plans, and then squabble about who gets what in their state.
It's precisely BECAUSE something could go wrong. A full day on a site like Facebook is more than enough time to see any major issues crop up, yet isn't long enough to deeply impact their service*.
*I know, I know..."Facebook" and "service" in the same sentence. Hurpadurp.
The juvenile side of me wants to make a joke off of "long enough" and "deeply impact", but I'd rather just say this: A full day on facebook is also a lot more likely to cause thousands of grandma's and others to claim the internet is broken if something goes wrong. I hope ISPs are going to be ready for support calls.
There was a "do not insert hand/foot/body part" warning card shoved into the blender we bought last night. I'd say a warning on the front of 1984 wouldn't be all that batty...
I spent a second thinking about what body part you could insert that wasn't hand or foot. I immediately doubled over in sympathetic pain. Well played, sir.
Maybe I'm missing something, but last I knew "We don't like him" wasn't a valid reason for shipping to Gitmo or executions (not that there always is a valid reason, but still...). Assange isn't a US citizen, so that throws treason out the window, so what's the justification?
"If the press writes about something long enough and hard enough, eventually it comes true"
They have that kind of superpower and are using it for an iPhone? What about cold fusion, hovercars, faster-than-light travel, and decent tasting frozen dinners?
Worst I've ever seen, I don't even remember who did it, but they had white lettering on a basically white background. It was a case of "see a few letters, hope you guess the last couple right".

In other news, water is wet, gravity still pulls downward, and no you cannot have Jessica Alba.
I can think of no way this isn't equally good for everyone. In light of that, there's a very slim chance this will pass.

still wouldn't stop the first clever terrorist to shove the bomb up his ass.
Since when is shoving anything up your ass considered "clever"?
There's an easy solution to this. Give them their own .riaa gtld and let them ghettoize it however they like.
Please let this happen. So many people would block it so fast it would probably make a sonic boom or three.
but won't stop people with supercomputers.
If someone with a supercomputer is trying to break your encryption, I would think you have bigger problems to worry about.

Someone's been watching a few too many bank heist movies.
But does it show who really shot him?
Sure their games are glitchy but...

So the AI triumphed, and they're calling it a huge success? I wonder how the programmers feel about this. Pretty satisfied, I'd imagine.

It was a difficult decision posting this xkcd here or on a comment farther down.

Because the publishers felt they didn't need to put "THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL" on the front cover of the book.
They're regretting that decision now.

Hey, now. There's that whole "cruel and unusual" thing. The acid and glass, ok, but Rosie O'Donnell? That's just crossing a line.

Oh, and that world peace stuff, too, I guess.

Yes, but how many of us would answer "retrograde wheelbarrow" to every position question? I know I would.
I hope not, I heard it in Morgan Freeman's voice.
Indeed. It would be easy if there was a map of the locations of these people, but I guess we'll never know
but in reality 99.9999% of people would not be able to do this.
Your numbers leave ~7000 people who would do it. I'd say that's enough to attempt a colony.
