Why would kids mistaking a traitor for a hero give you hope? You didn't fixate on Snowdens revelation of domestic spying, and totally overlook his treachery regarding international spying, did you?
>If you trust coercive authority, then snowden did wrong. If you do not trust coercive authority, then snowden did right.
That's a serious mischaracterization of the situation. It totally overlooks Snowden's betrayal of his own country. Snowden crossed the line into being a traitor as soon as he revealed info on our foreign spying. You don't have to trust coercive authority, just believe that governments have authority at all.
I think you're right dreamchaser. I don't think he's intentionally evil either, just really naive, and easily manipulated by America haters like self-promoting profiteer Glenn Greenwald and the Wikileaks scumbags.
I initially didn't join Spotify because of the Facebook requirement. They added their own authentication system later.
It's possible that this was different for non-American users, but tepples post was correct, and assuming that Spotify is an American company, you're the one rewriting history based on a foreign experience.
Obsolete technology, ruined by a few corporations buying up most of the stations and turning them into pop crap.
Maybe the AC above you is extremely old and has never heard of Pandora or Spotify. They could also be so super-cheap that they'd rather listen to crap than pay a few dollars a month for a quality service.

It didn't even occur to me that there would be no auto-save until my character died about an hour into the game. I don't think I own any game from the past several years that does not auto-save.
>If there is a creator of the universe, why wouldn't he/she/it listen to you?
Because a creator of universes would be very unlikely to take an interest in some animals on one planet in one universe. It takes a massive ego to expect that a god would give a damn about you.
I'd expect them to continue to make universes, not be a petty god that monitors the details of tiny lives like the absurd gods of man's imagination.
Add the fact that communication is possible with blinking in this case, and it should absolutely be the patients choice, maybe with a delay imposed if there's some chance of at least partial recovery.
At least one of the Descent games was one of the first games to do stereoscopic 3D well. The displays flickered back then with only 30 frames per eye, but it was still a great experience. I'd love to play a Descent game with modern graphics and 3D support.
>I'm not sure that most people want what Microsoft thinks is the tablet market.
>In fact, given the sheer number of less-powerful tablets out there that people are happily using
Kids and people just looking to be entertained don't, but those of who want to get work done away from home and the office absolutely see the value in these full PC tablets.
With a non-Windows tablet, I have to remote into a home PC to do any actual work remotely, which creates the opportunity for my home network to be hacked. With a Win 8 tablet (not RT), I can take all my dev tools and projects with me wherever I go. I can also use it as an entertainment device that's at least as useful as the alternative tablets.
No, his is correct. Republicans used to be a lot more sane than they are now. And Democrats are more sane than they used to be. Both parties moved to the right, and the Republicans went so far right as to be unrecognizable as the party of Lincoln, or even Eisenhower.
Oddly, many of the more conservative Republicans still claim to be the party of Lincoln, when really they're confederates who want to break up the US because our president isn't 100% white. They think they can take credit for Lincoln, as if the conservative takeover of the party didn't drive every progressive like Lincoln out.
Yes, everyone should go to conservapedia. It's one of the best examples of absurd conservative alternate-reality out there. We need to marginalize these kooks, and reclaim the Republican party for people with IQs over room temperature.
Only people who don't understand what "Liberal" or "Fascism" mean think that Liberal Fascism is a thing. Jonah Goldberg is a kook, just like everyone involved with the conservative grift. Why do you fall for conservative nonsense and paranoia? Have you not noticed how dishonest it all is?
I've only seen right-wing lunatics call Obama our lord and savior. Do you self-identify as a right-wing lunatic? Just checking if the pattern is still holding up.
You seem confused, and confused people look really bad when they lash out at their betters like you just did.
Do you not realize that the system is rigged, so our only other option was a Republican, and they've gotten really wacky on religion and science denial?
We can't allow Republicans anywhere near power until they marginalize their far-right extremists and foolish religious conservatives. Obama was by far the better choice in both elections.
Which is totally understandable. I sure wouldn't want to be the person who got a bunch of people killed by limiting surveillance. I'd have to be very, very sure that the surveillance was truly inappropriate, and it would be very easy to doubt yourself with that kind of pressure on.
Sure, back in the day I typed plenty of code from magazines. I'm speaking of the present when I point out that there may be no reason for gaming magazines.
I'm a gamer and had never heard of them. I'm not sure what a gamer would need a magazine for, unless maybe it had reviews that are more honest than the game review sites.

She's not a vegetable. This is much worse, but I'd want to be very sure that she can never recover any quality of life before pulling the plug.

Just tell them that their god made math. We don't need to disrupt the whole basis of the subculture to make improvements in math skills.
Many people have a very difficult time getting over their childhood superstitions.

I understand your assumption, usually a bill with a name like the USA FREEDOM act is about taking away freedom.
>OTOH, if you really *did* mean this to refer to its entire lifetime from the early-1980s onwards,
Of course I didn't mean that Any stupidity was in your interpretation of my post.

Turns out that you're an idiot. Tough break.

It doesn't take a lot of brain-power to make a bomb, kill a bunch of innocent people, and get caught.
We'd be a lot safer if only smart people could cause us harm, but stupid people are just as dangerous.
