Just because there will likely be a way to get around it doesn't mean we should let them pass the law in the first place without a fight. Sure, you could use a VPN (for now, until they get around to blocking most of those too). But wouldn't it be a lot better to simply stop this law from passing in the first place?
they're going to start taking gaming seriously in 2016
They'll be introducing a console that only has one game, with a controller that only has 3 buttons. And Wired will run 2 weeks of articles on how it's the greatest console ever, and will CHANGE THE WORLD.
So you'd be behind laws requiring a good driving record for drivers providing car-for-hire, requiring good maintenance for vehicles used for hire, requiring honest pricing, and some sort of way to check compliance with all of these requirements?
Only if those laws weren't REALLY designed to protect monopolies and money-making rackets for local governments.
So is pretty much anyone else who is giving anything to charity. And at least they're giving, not just sitting back bitching about it.
And do you really think that Bill Gates thinks some village that can't even afford running water is someday going to be a big-ticket Windows buyer? If his goal were really only to capture future Windows consumers, I'm pretty sure he'd be giving all his computers away in growing areas of China and India, not Africa.
I only respect laws designed to represent the interests of the citizenry as a whole--not the vested interests of one tiny class who bribed some politicians with campaign contributions.
Just look at every armchair critics on/. criticizing Bill Gates at every turn. "Bill is only giving African kids Windows computers, waaahhhh, waaaahhhhhh"
Yeah, well what the fuck kind of computers are YOU giving to African kids?
"One" has a very formal connotation. And it doesn't work as a substitute for he/she/him/her because it doesn't refer to a specific individual. Consider the following sentences. "Jim went down to the market. One bought some milk there."
Even now we're suffering from the conflicting between modern society and historical rules of English grammar. For example, there is no gender-neutral, third-person, singular pronoun. This is no problem for English users before the mid-20th century, of course. They just used "he" for everything, because fuck women. But with changing mores of gender-equality, now we're stuck with the awkward "he or she." So English is likely to change again on this. Either "they" will become an accepted singular pronoun, or "it" will become acceptable for people, or some new pronoun will be created.
It's the official feminist position that no woman would ever lie about being raped. Therefore if a woman says she's been raped, then that's all the evidence you need. And that's more than enough evidence for prosecutors like this one to destroy lives with.
I hear the President invited Snowden back to the U.S. for a special "We Love Whistleblowers!" party, where there will be cake. Better hurry up and get on that plane Edward, before the cake is all gone!
It goes back further than that. Anyone remember that T.H.O.R program in the 80's that ended up putting a hole in the side of a skyscraper and killing all those people?

Windows 97? Wow, how did you get ahold of that version.
From a Shanghai street vendor, of course.

EA's management will just have to console themselves by sleeping on huge piles of money with many beautiful women.

Bill Gates is increasing the supply of consumers.

Pretty ballsy for a cab driver to claim not to know how to get to 148th Street.
"Do you know how to get to 147th street, asshole? WELL IT'S ONE BLOCK FROM THAT!"
Hey, those $800,000 medallions don't pay for themselves, you know. ;-)

I'm sick of not being respected around here for my browser choice!
So why bother when the human race has no future?
Presumably for the same reason you get up and go to work every morning, in spite of the fact that you're going to die someday.

Lol, yeah--him and Richard Branson, Donald Trump, and Mark Cuban--just modest, camera-shy, average joes. Over-hype??? Not those guys!

BAND NAME! Called it!
On September 1 he can walk out of there a free man cleared of all charges.
Yeah, he could walk right out of that embassy into a U.S. extradition request on other charges.

The UK doesn't care about the cost of guarding that embassy 24/7. That's a trivial cost to them to keep their U.S. masters happy.

Are you saying that the CIA would trump up a fake rape charge just because someone was foolish enough to threaten U.S. interests, only for the truth to come out as soon as they got what they wanted?
That's just ludicrous!
Don't take any drinks they offer you, or presents (especially ones with suspicious round holes and openings marked "mic").
As someone who was once on the Cosby Show, trust me on this.
We haven't had modern cannabis strains with highly concentrated THC for hundreds of years either. The shit the Indians used to chew on was ditch weed.
It goes back further than that. Anyone remember that T.H.O.R program in the 80's that ended up putting a hole in the side of a skyscraper and killing all those people?
Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Try our legendary potato bar.
