Oh, now that we use your own fucking words, your argument falls flat.
And it falls flat how? No matter how you twist it, you're still hiding things from one party that you would tell another party. If it's not illegal, "semi-legal" or paranoid to not discuss things with your mother, then why is it illegal, "semi-legal" or paranoid to not want to let random strangers from the government ("They're here to help!") record your messages for no reason?
Doing man-in-the middle attacks on SSL connections is beyond the technical ability of ISPs
What?
It's fairly trivial, you just redirect insert-hostname-here to an IP you control, with a fake certificate for the hostname you're tracking, that in turn connects to the actual website and relays the traffic back and forth. Having a "valid" certificate is also somewhat trivial, the vast majority of subscribers simply follow directions and insert the ISP-provided CD in the drive and let it install whatever it wants, including whatever replacement CA certificates they want to provide (anecdote: I have personally witnessed an AT&T install CD which attempted to install such a certificate as part of the modem/router setup process).
The hard part is doing this for EVERY website, unless "*" is accepted by browsers as a valid CN now (I know *.domain.com is, I use such a cert for work), in which case you'd only need a handful of servers and IPs for load balancing, and the certificates are always valid.
That is not the choice you provided now it it? Remember this:
Yeah, I remember that, and I'm failing to see how "censors oneself when Mom is listening" is not analogous to "censors oneself when Big Brother is listening".
In every case I can think of, it is because said people have done something wrong.
Then either you don't think very hard, or you rule out cases on an arbitrary basis. I wonder how many people would quit ordering pizza over the phone with a credit card if they knew that the conversation would be recorded by some random person at the telephone company and played back for God knows who?
Enjoyed the ad hominem attacks though, they really made what little point you had that much sharper.
As for the "false dilemma" (you have discovered eisenretention: a third choice other than "record" and "don't record"?) unless the government comes up with psychic powers to determine whether your text message is about being on the way home and what you're hoping your wife will be wearing and supplies to keep on hand without having to have someone look at the message, then someone will be looking at the message. If it's good enough, that someone will probably bring it up that night over drinks.
but Link's sword continues to the spot If I was "fixing" it and I was told I had to do something to make it work but was free to do whatever I wanted, I'd show Link's sword arm bounce back, but also a "ghost" arm that continued through the motion, and the player would have to move his arm (the ghost arm) back to the general area of Link's arm before he can swing again (thus, Link is "stunned" until the player recovers, and perhaps if Link is hit he drops his arm back to where the player's is). If the player realizes the attack is going to be blocked, they pull the blow and recover faster, or they feint and go in under the shield. Of course, if they don't swing hard, they'll barely scratch the guy.
Personally though, I'm not sure that the Wiimote accelerometers would be accurate enough to let a player "follow through" with a real slash move, which would almost certainly start and end out of view of the IR bar, and probably end up causing the on-screen sword to "snap" to where the player's arm is pointing in the middle of the stroke when the bar comes into view.
Now show me where that explicit and unambiguous instruction is contradicted in the Constitution.
Well, according to some people, the loop hole is in "faithfully". Of course, these are also the same people who are "faithful" to their spouses by only committing adultery on weekdays.
do you advocate the mass culling of cows to sustain gaia ???
Well, vegans might, but for the rest of us, maybe if we stopped feeding them corn their digestive system might work better and produce less gas and as an added benefit, we'll get to eat less e.coli O157:H7.
If they expected to make money, they should have bought a stock that was paying dividends or had some other tangible benefit that would lead a rational person to expect to receive more than they spent on it, instead of hoping that their stock would win a popularity contest. Or maybe they should have just put the money in the bank or bought a savings bond.
Now if you believe shareholders should invest and accept to lose money
Or what? Should the government bail them out? It's called risk. If you can't accept it, don't play.
then I expect you to go to work for them and you pay them for that (lose money).
You know what? As an employee, I have risk too: that the board and stockholders run the company into the ground so far that my paycheck doesn't even bounce back out of the hole. By staying in a given job I also risk that my income may not rise as rapidly as inflation has (lose buying power).
GamePolitics attacked the TX governor on the basis of his religion. Well, that and the fact that he has absolutely no qualifications for the speech beyond "there are some game studios in Texas" and "he signed a bill someone else wrote that handed out tax money to studios and filmmakers". This isn't some kind of high school graduation ceremony or motivational speech, this is the keynote for a technical exposition. I suppose the whole text of the article was easy to overlook in the face of the whole Christian thing, which I do have to agree was in bad taste and basically single-handedly destroyed any chance of having a serious discussion about why the hell a governor is speaking at a games conference.
One wonders whether a professed atheist, an Islamic mullah or Wiccan priest, instead of one of those dastardly Republicans, would get the same scrutiny or presumption of bias or other "odd" or "bizarre" feelings. I bet the mullah would if he was speaking at a porn convention. Government intervention in video games is such a hot-button issue, it's no surprise that getting government officials as keynote speakers raises as much ire as eyebrow.
I think pretty much everyone would much rather both parties just shut up and kept the government out of the games business. On the one hand you've got Democrats like Tipper Gore (needs no introduction) or Hillary, Lieberman, and hell, just about all of the rest of them etc. who want a nanny state that tells you what you're permitted to think, say and do; and on the other hand you've got Republicans like Joseph Pitts or Mitt Romney who want... a nanny state that tells you what you're permitted to think, say and do. (For what it's worth, Perry keeps his mouth shut about however he feels.)
And of course regardless of who does it, once that nanny state is established, it opens the door for people like the one-and-only (we all hope so dearly) Jack Thompson to come in and really fuck everything up.
By your standards, YouTube is not a web page because it contains FLV video
If I turn off plugins and go to this website, what do I get? The example screenshot shows Google Earth taking up the entire browser, so my guess is "a blank page" (or one begging me to install their plugin).
I use YouTube on a fairly regular basis on my x86-64 system without the crashtastic 32-bit flash wrapper. I can see the title of the movie, links to related movies, and download the flv to watch in mplayer.
I dunno, man. There's a whole lot of amazing confidence in these broad statements:
Nothing compared to the bold bravado of claiming that the security theater enforced by the TSA and DoHS is why we haven't been attacked since 9/11, especially since it's not true.
Cartridges are what most people who do not know any better call "bullets."
I think that the point was that there was a second layer of security theater going on there: the search for weapons was merely a front for the actual search for smuggled food, and the search for smuggled food could be trivially foiled by hiding it inside of an object that was waved through.
Not that any of this matters, the guy misused the word cartridge, get him!!1!
Unless you're talking about turning the USA medical system into a socialist-style system, there's no argument against it.
Insurance turned the medical system into a socialist-style system, complete with people skimming millions of dollars off the top, and people at the bottom falling through the cracks.

I thought the idea was awesome, myself. Everyone is just flipping out because an idle story made it to the front page.
Unlike the slashdot.org search which redirects to google (good choice,really), the beta site attempts the slash search which is still broken. (Returns no Story results for "Tassie", which is right there on the main beta page.)
This is actually probably a major part of IT weight gain. I was going to the gym and working out (actually working out, not standing around watching everyone else work out) for a long time, and my weight and my pants size just kept creeping up. Went to the doctor because I figured something must be wrong, and long story short, the problem was getting home at 8-9pm, making dinner, eating dinner, and going to bed. Doc told me to take my dinner to work and eat it at 6pm every day.
In the past 5 months since I got that advice, I've lost almost 40 pounds, putting me at the lowest weight I've been since sometime in the middle of college. Can't say it's made my life great (food is so boring now, since I pretty much have to make the entire week's dinner on Sunday, by Friday dinner is just depressing, and I have to spend the weekend to figure out what dish I'll hate next week...) but I'm sure I'm healthier for it.
Blowing your own horn is a good way to lose respect, fast.
And hiding in the closet is a good way to never get any in the first place.
Obviously the guy needs to find some middle way, but it's going to make more than one project for him to figure it out. Maybe he's got a good boss who will remember that he's a good worker and assign him increased responsibilities with a proportionally increased reward. Or maybe he's got a shitty boss that will remember him as a good slave and will assign him increased responsibilities. He'll have to sit tight to see which one applies in order to plan a course of action, there's no shortcuts in office politics.
