    Not really, especially when the message you take from the ads are "I'm not buying that product because of the annoying commercial..."

    THIS.

    If the actors/actresses didn't get these ridiculous salaries there'd be no need for so many ads.

    Everyone else seems to always forget that cable used to advertise itself as one of the advantages is that there were no commericials.
    Now the cable companies rape you for more money than ever and all the channels have tons of commercials...

    Yeah, like that candidate:

    A) Exists
    B) Would even try to carry through on his promises
    C) Would be able to get corrupt congress-critters to actually pass anything that helps the problem
    D) Would make it on the ballot without being blasted by "Insane, crime-loving commie" propaganda from the big two parties...

    "I believe that its better to not have the need to carry than to carry just in case."

    Yeah, but the rest of us live in reality instead of a fairy-land utopia in our own heads.

  8. Re:It is better than buying used games on Microsoft Integrating Xbox One Advertising With Kinect To Profile Users For Ads · · Score: 1

    IF you cut out Gamestop from your used games purchasing, you can get used games for half off or even cheaper (as opposed to GS's "Here 10 for your 60 dollar game, we'll resell it for 55"

  9. Not gonna happen, not even 5 years down the road when M$ drops the price to a pittance to try and move them...

    M$ would have to get a way from FPS and similar shooters and have some really good RPG exclusives to have even a remote chance.

  10. I call bullshit, I never see a "page of ads" when I turn on my PS3. It's sitting at the "Play %Disc in machine%" prompt....

  11. Glad I don't log in to my PS3. It doesn't even have the passcode to my wireless router.

  12. Re:Weekly/Monthly Salary on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 1

    The cards and fees sounds more like a RICO charge waiting to happen....

    Seeing as you deserve to be modded down as a moron, I'm glad you aren't surprised.

    The government stopped being about the will of the people as soon as corporations were allowed to buy laws...

  19. Re:Did anyone need reminding? on Majority of Americans Say NSA Phone Tracking Is OK To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think they "thinking" at all, just morons and sheep...

    I'm surprised that the younger generation is so against it, given the lax attitude schools have in teaching rational thought and logic and instead focusing on "zero tolerance", and mindless memorization...

    Maybe there is some hope for the future after all...

    Been in several local Game Stop's, (we have one intersection that had 3 (!) at one point, but one finally closed, leaving two right across the street from each other)
    And I see NOTHING for the Wii U I want that isn't also available on 360 and PS3 as well.

    "Explicit permission" defined as signing any EULA associated with XBOX One.

    Funny, I've never "signed" any EULA, usually you just click, and don;t actually have to read anything, My four year old comes in handy for moving the mouse and clicking "I Accept"

  25. Re:...and people will buy it anyway. on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 1

    They buy whatever version comes on the computer already. When the computer with OS costs $300-600, and the OS all by itself is $100+, people take what comes with the machine...
