how do you "describe" the color orange? there are an infinite number of shades approaching colors on the other sides of whatever color wheel its on, are they all orange also?
why is all this stupid shit even considered reasonable as enforceable and taken seriously by the gov't/court system at all in any way?
if linux ease of use and software compatibility were on par with M$, as it is most of the pseople buying Lindows PC's at walmart are probably going home trying to load Deer Hunter, it doesn't work and then they go their nephew and beg for help, at which point said kid formats and installs windows
i seriously doubt M$ loses many permanent sales, i know plenty of people who thought linux would be the holy grail and were disappointed when they couldn't even get basic peripherals working, and those are all geeks who are willing to try not technophobes like my parents
its designed to fuck terrorists royally by taking away even the pretense of rights assuming you're even a SUSPECTED one
oh and itmakes provisions so that *EVERYONE* can be considered a terrorist and anti-american
and btw when you're fingered as a terrorist and detained indefinitely without legal counsel and with automatic gag orders on even talking about the case (assuming you survive your brutal torture at the hands of american contractors)
its the antithesis of what a PATRIOT is and a sick joke fostered by the Bush administration and whoever wins both kerry and bush supported it, like they both support the war
there is no choice. your gov't is under big money control, go back to sleep
and when was there ever a time the games weren't available? i've been getting free software since i was 5, it was called sharing then and even my school sponsored people coming and putting software on the computer lab compouters to copy and take home.
you just wait for someone else to get it and see if its any good, i never bought any game i didn't heavily research or hear something good about first (assuming i couldn't play it)
hype hype hype, delay for h4ck3rs (hohoho,i had a friend whose brother works at valve with a full in box copy of the game montths before that happened), hype hype hype, court battle -- more free advertising, hype hype hype
and since when did valve become the good guys? they stopped giving a fuck about their customer base years ago when they turned them into the biggest guinnea pig test bed since the gov't was dumping acid in the water supply in the 50's
its obvious you did 0 research before posting, of course there are libertarian candidates in all forms of lower office.
cut and pasted from teh libertarian party website:
Currently, more than 590 Libertarians hold public office, more than all other third parties combined. In the 2003 elections, we elected 46 Libertarians, nearly half in higher-level races such as city and county council. During the year 2000, we ran more than 1430 candidates, more than twice as many as all other third parties combined.
We fielded candidates for 255 of the 435 seats in the U.S House as well as 25 of the 33 Senate seats up for election -- the first time in eighty years that any third party has contested a majority of the seats in Congress. Our slate of U.S. House candidates received 1.7 million votes, the first time any third party has received over a million votes for U.S. House.
i can't believe you got modded insightful, there must be a lot of ignorant people out there.
if weren't drawing all the polygons you can't see with your crap-light, seriously there isn't a light switch? anywhere? i see computers and handhelds but no nightvision? this is what halflife was supposed to look like, it will be interesting to see how badly d3 gets stomped
and its too bad too cause they may well take the "piracy fukced us"
i for exmaple pay for the games i pirate if they're any good (like neverwinter nights, which i played all the way through before i ever bought it and which subsequently also sold me on the two expansions all of which i own)
most of what comes out is cookie cutter shit these days, same as the RIAA puts out, anywhere there is mass manufacture of anything the resulting quality suffers. I'm guessing that carmack doesn't give a fuck, the money is in the licensing of the engine anyway, the rest is basically just to demo the engine and get it a little credence, so yes the game sucks butlooking pretty is all they ever cared about; its about investors not gamers;P
An @stake official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Geer was fired and said that as a corporate officer he should have known that Microsoft was a client of the company. "It's not a matter of the content of the report; it's a matter of ethics and respect for clients," the official said.
1.)Energy companies have multi-billion dollar infrastructures that require million dollar maintenance
2.)Energy companies have huge lobbies and congressmen in their pockets for their various industries (oil/coal/whatever)
3.)We have big moneyed Energy companies tied right at the very top of our government, they're sitting pretty
Btw, what do tanks and jets and carriers and troop transports and every single moving object our military has have in common? That's right they all run on Oil or some deriviative not wind power
are they likely to just drop everything they have invested as long as the black gold keeps bubbling up out of someone else's backyard?
Should they care about pennies saved on the billions earned (stolen)?
Seriously doubt it; see RIAA, they will have to be clubbed to death before they will give a fuck
who keeps hearing the repeating chorus from the South Park episode with teh mormons? the one that plays DUMB, DUMBDUMB, DUMB over and over?
hello? these are the CHINESE this is not taiwan they're not friendly to us they will take our manufacturering facilities and high tech and USE THEM AGAINST US, i'm sure that out of several billion people they're not all bad but the ones in power sure are (just like here)
did we forget why we won ww2? an ocean and our manufacturing, guess what they have now
oh well at least corporate greed will be the undoing of the land of the "free", delicious irony, i wonder what canada's like this time of year
