Friends, your future may not be a secure as you think. Where will you be when the atomic bombs fall?
You can secure your family's future by reserving your spot in a state of the art underground vault from Vault-tec.
That's right Bob! Act now, and your family can wait out the horrors of nuclear devastation. And Dorris, the vault will have all the amenities of your modern-day home, and it's attractive; and Sally, in the vault you might meet that special someone, just as you would on the surface; and in a few short years, you and your fellow vault dwellers will re-populate our great country; And billy, you'll have lots of swell kids to play with!
Reserve your family's spot in a state of the art underground vault today! Sign up now, and prepare for the future!
Anyone who thinks the democrats are a panacea don't know enough about democrats. They're demonstratably better than the Republicans in a lot of areas(For evidence, look at inflation-adjusted spending levels for democratic and republican presidents since Nixon. For more, contrast the TARP program passed under Bush to the auto bailouts under Obama. One was carte blanche with 700 billion dollars with a part of the bill literally saying "you don't need to see what we do with it", the other was loaded with demands and feedback and transparency, but in a lot of other ways, they're just as bad or worse. Bending over for the music industry is one way they're worse. Another way that's obvious to anyone who cares is the Obama justice department is continuing the pursuit of evil started under the Bush administration.
That's the problem with the American right/left false dichotomy. You either like one group or the other, but in reality they're incredibly close in how they do things and so you can't just hate one group and love the other, because they're really not polar opposites except on a few key marketing issues.
Don't believe me? Rob Smith, who spent quite a bit of time as PC Gamer's EIC, actually called Daikatana "game of the year for 1999". That's how idiotic they are -- Daikatana wasn't even released until mid-2000. You want me to spend my money based on what someone like THAT says?
Your comment has me so flustered! I'll need a cool, refreshing bottle of ice cold Coca Cola Classic to recover! Your comment is whack, but you can't beat the real thing -- of Coca Cola Classic!
I read wrong. I thought it said "his kid did some illegal work for them a while back".
But yes, being a Christian song writer carries a worse stigma with it than being a child molester. Nobody in their right mind would want to be called one.
I bought all MC Frontalot's albums last week, even though I could easily have downloaded them for free.
Why?
1. I'm not morally against giving MC Frontalot money. Not so with the RIAA. 2. I think the artist will get the majority of the money I paid. Not so with the RIAA. 3. I want to feel all smug and superior. Can't feel that paying the RIAA. 4. He asked me to, nicely. Not so with the RIAA.
I've spent thousands in the past year on copyrighted material, but only in cases like these where it feels valuable for me to, and where I'm not morally opposed to giving the organization responsible money.
Publishers need to start realising they're hurting themselves by making a direct correlation between "buy product" and "have democratic process circumvented to my extreme disadvantage with my own money". I'm not giving them money so they can hire jackbooted thugs to beat me up, and I'm not giving them money so they can hack my computer for their benefit when I pop in their CD, and I'm not giving them money so they can have the FBI threaten me.
Back in the day, I bet that sort of ability to toss sprites on the screen would've been fun to play with. I did hobbyist game programming back when modeX was considered pretty good, and even in that era, tossing that number of sprites on the screen at once would be touch and go.
Sorry, conservatism seems to involve a few things:
Fiscal conservatism means spending less money. Republicans fail on this point, and when adjusting for inflation, have consistently spent far more than Democrats for as long as most of us have been alive (since President Ford definitely -- Isn't 4 presidents doing something a trend?).
Social conservatism means keeping things the way they are socially. Republicans are attaching themselves to religious extremists means exactly the opposite.
Legislative conservatism means less government interference in our lives. 8 years of Republican rule led to an unprecedented increase in government power. Now it's perfectly ok to kidnap regular folks and send them to Syria to be tortured1. Oh, and now the federal government owns half of the banking and auto industries.
Monetary conservatism means keeping the money supply in check to ensure there isn't high inflation. The Bush era saw a large increase in the money supply and record low interest rates at the federal reserve.
Finally, from where I'm standing, conservatism requires a legislator to look backwards and go "Ok, how have we solved this problem in the past?"
They're not conservatives unless you accept the definition of conservatism as "What those folks say it is".
The only conservative I can see is Ron Paul, and they want him the fuck out. What are his sins? Trying to keep spending in check; Trying to limit government intervention in the economy and around the world; trying to limit government intervention in social issues; being a quiet but principled Christian; trying to ensure the federal reserve doesn't over-print money; and looking at the past for solutions to today's problems.
"The Genesis and Super Nintendo had much different specs!"
I wasn't talking about whether the Super Nintendo or Genesis was better, I was saying they had far different specs -- which your post proves by showing the much different processor used by the Genesis!
(Slams hand on table, dramatic music starts playing)
Nobody gives a crap about your stupid wars over 15 year old consoles! Both were outrageously popular and each spawned popular titles whose legacies endure to today!
However, it does so only in extremely high concentrations -- over 60-90%. By contrast, blood alcohol is usually lethal at 0.4% concentration, so being drunk isn't an effective method to stop disease.
That said, it's a fucking flu. More people will die of explosive diarrhea than of the swine flu this year. People need to relax. (Had a flu, odds are it was the swine flu, I lived after being knocked out of commission for a week.)
The Sonic the hedgehog picture is dithered around the edges of the flag!

The video chip in the Genesis could only handle 256 colours, while the Super Nintendo could manage 16-bit colour and transparency! There's no way you could say those specs were similar!

Sounds like a plot to increase the use of 1337-speak.
Our American way of life. Isn't it grand?

It is true, though. Americans love sticking their nose in our democracy.
Freedom baby, yeah!

They're doing something right the wrong way.
Sort of like that guy who pulls a semi truck with his genitals. Congrats on moving the truck, but DEAR GOD THERE ARE BETTER WAYS, YOU MONSTER!
Our banks would be a hell of a lot more solvent right now if people would park a bit more money in their savings accounts.
I've got 40-something nerdy rap songs to swim through. Who has time to set up spyware-laden crap to download something from the Mammon?
I'm sorry, so health insurance for kids, we veto that but unprecedented act of socialism and waste of tax dollars, we let that slide?
"All Bush did" was betray his party and make himself into the devil that decimated the party.
You made sure the car was parked in the exact spot it was in before I left, in the exact condition, so it was if my car had never been touched?
I'm not really sure if I'm mad or not. I mean, anything I would otherwise be mad about isn't covered by your joyride...
Reviewers tend to be idiots, unfortunately.

We'll never get a case study as long as Barry is in power. Not only does he say he inhales, he says "That was the point."
God damn those leftist bastards.

In Canada they did that.
Which is why this is having such a hard time making file sharing illegal.
And as for the politicians....Do you want to be the guy to say "Good news everyone, we're making it so the music industry can sue you for millions!"
Wow, I'd never seen that game before.

As much as I dislike this idiot's suggestions, much of your post is libellous. Please cite references for your various accusations.
HOLD IT.
President Bush signed TARP, the largest of the bailouts into law, long before the election.
How is that Obama's fault?

Alcohol is an effective viricide, capable of 'killing' the flu virus. Don't lecture when your facts are wrong.
However, it does so only in extremely high concentrations -- over 60-90%. By contrast, blood alcohol is usually lethal at 0.4% concentration, so being drunk isn't an effective method to stop disease.
That said, it's a fucking flu. More people will die of explosive diarrhea than of the swine flu this year. People need to relax. (Had a flu, odds are it was the swine flu, I lived after being knocked out of commission for a week.)
Isn't that important?
I've probably bought a dozen games this year. How many has a non-gamer bought?
OBJECTION!
The Genesis and Super Nintendo had much different specs! The evidence is...
TAKE THAT!
Compare the screenshot of the title screen of Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog. The second in particular proves it.
Where is the proof in these pictures?
TAKE THAT!
The Sonic the hedgehog picture is dithered around the edges of the flag!
