I have returned a few games, but I had to lie to get them to accept it.
When you fill out the form to return a game, you are given a number of options, but it seems like several of them will get your return automatically rejected.
I just resubmitted it with the "Game doesn't run/work" checkbox, then they accepted it no problem.
Have not found anything noteworthy yet though besides the usual "Fuck consumer rights, sign here to hand them over".
The Itunes user agreement was kind of amusing. Something along the lines of "By using this software, you agree not to use it for developing biological or nuclear weapons".
This, might be a good idea to use multiple steam accounts to try and limit the damage.
And before people get on my ass, yeah, he fucked up by either cheating or breaking the rules, sure. No sense in banning him from singleplayer though, that's just insulting.
Probably won't happen anytime soon, but the shitfest that's going to happen when steam shuts down will be crazy.
I should clarify: I can understand the reasons why some people would think so. The last person I talked to was saying that they didn't want their tax money going to NASA because they would rather have more money to buy alcohol. Not even joking, that was their sole reason.
I thought they were going to go into more detailed reasons, such as NASA not having their shit together or getting much done, or that since private companies are stepping up there isn't a need to spend taxpayer money on NASA, etc. You know, something debatable, where I could at least see their point of view and sympathize, even if we disagreed.
What happened to the human thirst for exploration and adventure?
(Apparently replaced by the thirst for alcohol)
The thrill of discovery, the thought that you are a member of the most advanced species on Earth, constantly innovating to shed the physical limitations of the human body to do things we used to look up at the sky and only dream about!
To overcome seemingly impossible challenges in the search of knowledge, the very definition of being human! (To me, anyways)
But no man. Booze money.
It feels like some people would rather we stagnate, perfectly happy in their own lives, never caring about things that don't directly affect them, never striving to improve either themselves or the overall achievements of our race, only giving a shit about their own personal existence and interactions!
Not even willing to put in the slightest, most insignificant amount of effort to further technological advancement or our fundamental understanding of what lies beyond.
Anyhow, that's the end of my silly rant/bitch fest. I feel somewhat hypocritical as I've had a few shots before typing this wall of text, but still, I feel that the meaning behind my words still stands.
tl;dr I'd rather fund NASA than the NSA. Frosty piss, insensitive clod, etc.
This is what I was curious about. All it seems to imply to me (Me, being completely ignorant of this kind of stuff) is that people tend to pay attention to him, which was already obvious.
Seems like a technical way to measure if somebody is bored and not paying attention vs paying attention and excited or interested, whether it is with glee or disgust.
Good point, I'm looking for a citation but I am not finding much aside from various interpretations, I guess I need to re-read those papers myself and see if my interpretation holds up.
I'm curious where you are from, it sounds like a sensible place.
People just don't give a shit. I've talked with people who don't think we should be doing anything like this, since "It's a waste of money! We're blowing all our money into space! Anything they discover or build doesn't affect me, so I don't care!".
You are already allowed (In my state, anyhow) to own a gatling gun (It technically does not count as a fully automatic weapon). Since we have open carry in my state, I wouldn't be surprised if you could mount it to a truck with no problems.
Also, "We the People" refers to all legal citizens of the United States.
So many people always forget the first half. The amendment specifically states "well-regulated", meaning it is within the powers of the federal government to regulate militias and arms. Taken in context in the 18th century, "well regulated" probably means something closer to "well trained", but still, it is obvious that arms are meant to be regulated and dispersed through trained militias, and not just any random jerk has a gun. Especially because today's guns can do substantially more damage than the guns did when the amendment was written
I would invite you to read the federalist papers, which explain exactly what their intentions were.
It almost seems like you're arguing that since "well regulated" used to mean "In good working order", but doesn't anymore, we should disregard the intention and go with the current meaning that it wasn't intended to be used.
That isn't right. You would be subverting laws by changing language.

Pretty surprising it works as well as it does. I never thought hydro-forming could be done on a budget.
Reminds me of the flamethrower I made a few years back, neat stuff. I wish I had the equipment (And the free time) this guy does.
He might want to be a little safer (Flame retardant clothing, glasses, etc.) it looks like he didn't learn from his last incident:

1. Thermite is perfectly legal to own. It is not regulated by the ATF whatsoever.
2. You don't know if the propellant charge is over 4 ounces
3. He isn't American.
I'm wondering the same thing now. The "FormFlow" explanation and examples remind me of dicking around with batch files, I don't see the point of this?
I was under the impression this was the framework to something similar to Tay/other chatbots.
It just looks like they reinvented the dialogue tree for 2016.

Microsoft, who thinks very clearly and thoroughly over their decisions regarding Windows.
At this very moment, my dad's computer is attempting to download Windows 10 in the background, automatically without asking permission.
He has Dialup internet.
Let that sink in.
Clear and through decisions my ass.

Offtopic, but I'm curious as to the origins of your signature.
Many EULAs are so poorly written I question how enforceable they are.
Ever since this happened, I always take the time to read them to see if they try to slip in any kind of weird, horrifying or funny shit.

Oh shit. plz respond, the answer could be hilarious.
Many people don't remember or even know about Jackson State.
I had no idea until you posted it. Never learned it in school or heard about it before, interesting read.
So the only real news is that they moved from whatever communication method they used previously to using cellphone networks?
Okay. That's nice. Doesn't seem that newsworthy though.
What had they been using previously? Skimmed TFA but didn't see it mentioned.
Sadly true. I'm somewhat biased against solar to be honest, but this seems like a pretty clear case of mismanagement and poor decisions.
This just in: Air pollution in the United States is racist!

As long as Clinton doesn't win, I will be happy with the result.
Trump has ideas I agree with and disagree with, same with Bernie.
Trump/Bernie 2016? Hah.
This election has been such a shitshow. It's getting difficult to tell the difference between satire and legitimate news articles.
As long as they send the stereotypical giant stompy robots, I'm happy with the result.
Who doesn't like giant stompy robots?
