Right now, our congresspeople have decided they think they know what's best for us. They're not voting for our interests. They're not voting for what we want.
A congressperson bound by contract to vote for what his constituents want is a great idea.
Since integrity and honesty are no longer requirements of being in congress, this will give people representation again.
a huge part of this bill was providing immunity from prosecution to telecom corporations who broke the law and helped the government break the law while spying on US citizens. The fourth amendment of the constitution of the United States of America protects citizens from spying without a warrant. End of story.
"Amendment IV"
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
These searches of our papers and effects are unreasonable. That RIGHT was violated.
This is unacceptable. My state representative voted NO, but both senators voted yes. That doesn't accurately represent my state.
My senators' votes did not follow their constituents wishes.
When I run a cable for someone that is a very difficult run, I always run more cables than I need. I charge them for the cable I use and for the run. When someone asks for a 250 foot run, It's doubtful that they only need one cable even for the future.
fiber optic cable costs money sure, but running the stuff costs way more than the actual cable. these telcos should be laying down quadruple what they need for capacity and leave it terminated and dark.
They're not doing that in great enough capacity. The cable doesn't cost half of what it costs to run it. We know that. So telcos should stop pissing on us and telling us it's raining.
we've known this for years. And, the telcos and network owners keep telling us that bandwidth is scarce. It's not scarce. It's an infinitely scalable resource.
lay more fiber add more routers, it gives you more bandwidth.
They don't really want to pay for it. At this point, telcos and network owners are literally prohibiting progress on the Internet.
granted, they probably have only a tenth of the subscribers that comcast has.
That still begs the question, why aren't ISPs and telcos and network owners investing in infrastructure? Are profits so precious that they can't invest in their future?
remember these are still the same minimum wage workers that used to do security screenings before the TSA existed. now they just have to watch a government video to wear the shirt.
I would have no doubts that some unsavory TSA workers are stealing and fencing laptops they 'screen'.
we all learned how 1000 cores doesn't matter if each core can only process a simplified instruction set compared to 2 cores that can handle more data per thread.

no, nitwit, the industry is colluding to eliminate competition.
This is what we need and what democracy is.

Bravo.
consoles don't have the issue that PCs have. They are standard hardware you dolt!
Use what little brain you have left.
You're not a gamer.
And, no, I meant the trailer for the movie looked good.
If they had, I would have sued dell in a heartbeat.
This is an expected feature of modern sound cards and not to be fucked with.
This is getting out of hand and Dell and the whole board who decided this are COWARDS!
I guess no one has the integrity to stand up and say, enough is enough.
The RIAA is overstepping their bounds by miles here.
Games don't have to be free.
And they will never get away with charging microtransactions to PC gamers.
David Perry of Shiny Games is a moron.
Make a decent product. Give us plenty of chances to view it. Give us ample opportunity and convenience to purchase it. If we like it, we will.
Eliminate DRM. It obviously doesn't work. Sometimes it prevents your game from working properly.
Use Steam!!!!! We do. Stop wasting your whole budget on marketing. We don't care about the TV commercials. We don't come to E3 to get posters.
everyone gets one booth per game. All booths are the same size.
They can only bring a hard drive. All PCs will be standardized and provided by the expo organizers and changed every year.
If developers want to come, it's because they have a great product to show off. If not, they can still book a hall to show a trailer.
That is a show that I'd want to go to. No swag, no fluff, no marketing, no half naked chicks enticing you to buy crap games.
The last night of the expo would be a big cosplay ball. Where the attendees can blow off some steam and have fun.
almost everything I saw reminded me of the first game.
the checkered floor, the candles, the crib and bedroom fading to unsaturated darkness, the bullet time!
This looks like someone might actually have gotten the source material right.

P.I.'s use TOOLS to do computer investigations.
IT workers use SKILLS to do computer investigations.
I would say that disqualifies P.I.'s as experts.
I am certainly skilled enough to investigate computers successfully.
What's at stake here is an IT guy's ability to legally troubleshoot.
your understanding is flawed. gamepolitics.com got it right.
this is simple.

and don't go for any writer who has written a book made into a movie by walden media.
stick to the straight sci-fi. Heinlein, Asimov, Gibson, Gaiman, Dick.
if you want to try something new, try for Drew Karpyshyn.
a love of sci-fi should really begin with something old fashioned. It sparks imagination and appreciation for current technology.
This is not really a breakthrough.

agreed, the defense was flimsy, but the prosecution was equally flimsy presenting nothing more than circumstantial evidence.
I honestly thought he was innocent until now.
undoubtedly, some of the morons in this world would take it as the voice of god.
even though it's probably the voice of that guy from CSI: Miami
it's not scary until you realize they're going to start using it in public places to bombard you with a steady stream of "war is peace" messages.
when the founding fathers wrote the constitution.
so now we're led to believe that CANADA is pursuing nuclear weapons?
They just purchased 550 Metric tonnes of yellowcake uranium from a supposed Terrorist state and we're just letting them do it?
Canada is a ticking bomb here people!
We need to attack Ontario now!
Why isn't bush willing to protect us from these terrorists?
you're missing the point.
it's 900GB per month!

sed to the rescue. I wish I could have a sed machine to fix peoples' words before they leave their mouth.
remember these are still the same minimum wage workers that used to do security screenings before the TSA existed. now they just have to watch a government video to wear the shirt.
I would have no doubts that some unsavory TSA workers are stealing and fencing laptops they 'screen'.
and now they're bringing it back?

this is basic computer design here people.
do you think the government is going to pay for all that SMS monitoring equipment? No sir, the carriers pass on the costs to you.
