f you're being added to 'fairly extreme view' groups, then I guess you have 'fairly extreme view' facebook 'friends'. If you'd rather not be part of those groups, you may wish to review the status of that 'friendship'.
I strongly disagree. I have religious friends, I have gay friends, I have some few extreme guys as friends.
These groups does not mix up, but these people are my friends nevertheless.
If all your "friends" think as you, act as you and looks as you, this is not friendship. This is narcissism.
Every single astronaut is close to your definition. They sit on top of some megatons capable explosive fuel and light that candle, hoping to get back in home without being burned on the re-entrance.
Why?
Because they think that there's things more important than their lives.
Never underestimate the human being. Not all of us are selfish bastards.
It's hard to say what is covered under "clever social engineering" or "bypass" without more details
But you can do some educated guess. 99% of the time, the victim of the scam claims the intellectual superiority of the scam to disguise the intellectual inferiority of themselves.
Paint the perpetrator as a genius, and perhaps people will not figure out how actually stupid you were.
You, my friend, forgot one of the nastier laws in this God forsaken land: YOU CAN BE ARRESTED FOR TELLING THE TRUE.
If I publicly state a fact, but someone gets offended by that fact, he can sue me for damages. Every corrupt politician uses this law when convenient. Defamation, in Brazil, is a felony against the "honor" - and we consider defamation *anything* that detriments the public image of someone, no mater being true or not.
Well, since I do not buy from GameStop, I was not aware of this problem.
I rarely buy titles on launch day (Assassin's Creed series being the only exception to the moment - I'm still waiting for The Last Guardian), but when I do, I do pre-orders on sites as eStarLand .
I'm pretty capable of piracy. To tell the true, I "pirated" the MegaDrive emulator the same exact day that Sega managed to withdraw it from Market. (bastards).
But that was the only occurrence.
I had brought some of the (few) games I have on my Android phone (the others being free or shittywar^w adware), and I have very few games on my smartphone (paid or not) because a smartphone is a shit of a gaming system - just like that.
It's nice to be able to play in in some little "emergencies", but consider that I must rely to the same battery to make some weird things as making and answering phone calls, I choose to have a PSP tagging around to do the playing thing.

I don't agree with your arguments, but I don't agree with the moderation you got neither.
I'm not a boy. I'm a 42 year old fucking bastard that cannot sustain living with people like me. :-)
I'm already have enough of me on my life. Having friends (and some of them are truely friends) helps me to be a better person.
I can just hope to do the same for them, however I'm not sure.

The attitude is not bad by itself. What do you would do if your kid started to sell heavy drugs or any other kind of felony?
The attitude towards the sexual preference of his daughter is horrible.
As far as I know, Facebook has representatives on every country it wants to make some money.
I think we need both the solutions.
A bastard than strikes a laser beam to a aircraft should be prosecuted by murderer attempt.
Preventing people living near airports surely would help with a lot more of issues.
Just because you can do the a small part work as a coder does not mean you know the larger effort it takes a company to do something.
Look in the mirror.
I would suggest you to get a job on a big company instead.
"On the other hand, you being one of the selfish bastards, you can rest assured I'm keeping you correctly accounted."
Not that this matters anymore.
(I'm going to need some more English lessons - or better yet, a geriatrician)
On the other being, being you one of the selfish bastards, rest assured I'm keeping you correctly accounted.
Too bad for the guy, as some marines will probably shoot him on the eye for that.
I was told that sex can be dangerous when I was a kid, I never realiazed it can be that much! =P
No, did'nt you know?
He's on Guantalamo, charged for terrorism. He blowed things on a airport!
Dude...

Couple got caught in the airport's bathroom on a blowjob.
"Ma'ham, please open your mouth. We have orders to test every liquid for explosives..."
Always bring some Vaseline to the Airports bathroom. I was told that some TSA agents do a very rough fingerjob.
"But, as he points out, who can say how productive plants are ultimately going to be on the moon, in gravity that is only one sixth that of earth?"
Other than the fact we know already and that plants could be grown in earth gravity in a centrifuge yeah, good point.
And these centrifuges of yours will be powered by what? Hamsters?
It appears to be the only way to bring back Earth to the Sapient Club!
I don't see that massive unhappiness when banking security locks people accounts or any other measure taken when suspicious activities are detected.
On the other hand, I don't see someone of a Bank's help desk doing such mistake neither.
On the long run, you really gets what you paid for.

The parent is pretty right. Doom was release as shareware, with the first level being free.
By buying the full version, you get a new WAD (data file, as the binaries are the same) with the full game.
Why the parent was modded down?
Don't call him pal, guy!
Repeat!! :-)

I have had no problems until this moment.
At the same time it is incredibly destructive and long-term death spiral for the industry and consumers as a whole.
Please elaborate.
As far as I'm concerned, selling used goods drives a industry into a spiral death only when the industry itself is already stagnated and obsolete.
When people refuses to buy new things from, sticking with the old ones, the problem is YOU.
Making money is hard. Very hard.
A lot of companies go down every year for not being able to make enough money. It's surprising that the same happens on software developers?

It was Commodore mismanagement which killed the Amiga.
That too.
However, keep in mind that Commodore was a threat to every the other players on the market.
I have a acquaintance tagging around Silicon Valley in that era. He told me that everybody's concern at some point was "We must kill these guys..."
