The Wii was simple, affordable, and didn't have a separate screen that could get carried around and dropped down the stairs.
When Nintendo started getting all fancy I switched to PS3. Sony does a better job at packing in hardware and gimmicks no one wants. They're also better at charging high prices.
The son of a KY state senator (democrat) hacked into Sarah Palin's email. He published her username and password around the web, but he never published any sketchy material about her or any nuggets that could be used by her opposition. Why not? Did he have morals that prevented him from distributing damaging material about Palin while not have the morals to send out her username password? Could it be there was just nothing there?
Al Gore with the East Anglia Institute breach and Hillary Clinton with the Wiki leaks never denied the terrible, terrible claims that were hacked (although in the DNC's case it was an inside leak... that's why 3 DNC officials were murdered and Schultz was let go within a week of the leak).
The simplest explanation is that Clinton and the democrats are criminals who are rigging the election, that (as Podesta said and other staffers confirmed) Hillary hates ordinary people, and that Hillary wants open boarders.
If Hillary wants to keep it a secret that she wants open boarders, she shouldn't mention it in a SPEECH !! Where was the outcry about Mitt Romney's privacy when he mentioned to a small group of donors that the 48% moochers of this country will never vote for him? The only thing I heard from the Left was how terrible it was Obama did bring this up until the 2nd debate.
Did anyone see that article on here the other day about Americans working 25% more than Europeans?
Btw, this further confirms my theory that our accomplishments in space go down as the number of countries forecast putting targets in space.
People in the 1960's had a different mentality when they put someone on the moon. Everyone (globally, including Americans) have really mushed into a pile of fecklessness since then.
What about the case where thieves and would-be aggressor nations decide it is too insignificant and pitiful to waste space resources on attacking or capturing? Perhaps this is what has protected us from extra terrestrials...
There are a couple "nations" out in international waters (reclaimed WW II gun platforms, giant ships, etc) that could easy be conquered by any navy, but aren't.
Boethius' story of poor people whistling through the thieves' forest, etc.
That's why Switzerland makes all the movies I like watch.
And TV shows.
And video games.
And medicine.
And clothes.
And software.
Also they don't need the US to protect them from Russian.
AI will help identify where the people who hold counter revolutionary views are, so they can be taxed differently.
Currently it takes a lot of manual effort from the IRS to pin this down, and other departments have to ask them about it. This is also a nuisance since it is technically against the law. AI will just make it that much more efficient.
Once the public warms up to reeducation (or even maybe calling it that openly) we can close the loop.
What if it could be determined that all human behavior could be explained by this algorithm: running after sex, money, bragging rights, and trying to be like everyone else?
What kind of identify does such a person have?
Is it right to describe them as a "person"?
If you're interested you should check out a short book called 1 John.
"Holograms campaigning for equal rights: are they people or are they not? They seem to be making their own choices."
Passing a true Turing test will always be SCIENCE FICTION, and as long as that difference can be demonstrated, subjects and objects should be treated differently.
What about those migrants who come here from communist oppressed countries with no money and end up becoming doctors, software engineers, etc?
This used to be a country where outliers had access to opportunity. But now it is a country where no one is allowed to succeed.
If the vast majority of people who win the lottery become bankrupt in less than a couple years, it goes to show there is an underlying problem that can't be solved by money or uncaring, impersonal organizations like the government.
Claiming the IRS shouldn't force people to give money to the poor is not a lack of empathy or curiousity or sensitivity or whatever else.
"the get-tough-on-crime/War on Drugs policies of the 1980's (that began incarcerating black men at an unprecedented rate) pretty much destroyed the traditional black family."
The moms and dads who turned to drugs destroyed their families before they were incarcerated.
Fche brought up good parenting, being taught hard-work american values, and not being a single parent family and you started talking about better schools and resources?
Are you just saying it doesn't matter what you can control for your kids or not following the question or what exactly?

Whoa, whoa, there, turbo ...
Just like 90% of silicon valley, TimeWarner gave $812,406 to Hillary, so they are exempt.

You wouldn't want to interfere with the pro-government, anti-company party would you ?

Come to think of it ... what good is the Great Wall ??
Rival extensions of the DNC disguised as news point fingers at how terribly sourced their content is
Are these "top 250" movies like Dr. Zhivago and The Revenant?
Because I would be just fine with out the anti-morality / trash / political preaching.

It's becoming faster to get a security clearance. I'm not sure this still applies.
... hard to see in their heads.
I hear about companies on government contracts that still try to have Russians do their software development. I hear about the ones that get busted.
I've heard about older IT/SW workers that can't get clearance jobs even though they have a clearance cuz' reasons.
Might matter a bit to some companies, though

Overall retail sales are in a big decline:

Your soul is your ideals. Your understanding of how life is supposed to be.
Your spirit / ghost is your relationship between your body and your soul.
If you don't live out your ideals you are (literally) unspiritual.
The relationship between the spirit and itself as it relates to itself is the "self".
It's all in Kierkegaard. Nietchze describes the spirit similarly (although he came later).
Why didn't Clinton's hatred of ordinary americans make it into summary?
2 people on HER OWN TEAM wrote about how she (you know) hates ordinary Americans?
Oh that's right, because \. is carrying water for the DNC.
Excellent question.

Increased brain activity increases anxiety.
E.g: frontal lobotomy patients act like children. Little to no anxiety.

Science fiction writers don't understand we are mortal, individual free agents who can make our own individual choices and die by them.
... the rest of it is almost entirely garbage.
Look at the Star Trek episode where holograms are campaigning for equal rights.
Look at the Alien movie where a robot becomes a Catholic.
Consider all the cases where a person is considered to have become immortal because their carcasses have been ejected into the sun or whatever.
These writers are people fundamentally do NOT understand life other than a half inch of appearance on the surface.
I exempt Star Wars from all of this, but
I care more about that drooling 130 year old than I do about the State, the Public, and all the tyranny justified under the causes thereof.
I would rather have a single, honest voter than democracy itself.
If you hate the moochers so much, why not channel it against the fatcats living in the DC beltway?
So we should celebrate our weakened capabilities during war?
You're just going to welcome our Cino-Russian overlords?
Why is the US military developing things (ARPANet -> the internet) and then handing them over to a mob of other countries?
I don't understand.
Are you suggesting what gets decided in the UN is beyond politics?
Reaching hyperbolic proportions !!
