Your insight is amazing, I had not realized violations of our expectation of privacy and of the 4th amendment's protection against unreasonable searches was just like universal healthcare.
Baldur's Gare II and its expansion, Throne of Bhaal, expanded considerably upon the first BG's adventure by letting the protagonist reach (respectively) level 20 and 40, and finally giving him a chance at ascending to Godhood...and the problem of balance reared its ugly head.
There is simply no way a level 40 Fighter can compare to a 25/25 Fighter/Mage hybrid who will benefit from the High-Level Abilities (basically, Epic-level pen&paper feats) of BOTH their classes - at these levels, anything that tries to hit you WILL hit you (with their ludicrous THAC0s in the double-digit negatives) and the game basically becomes a rock-paper-scissors of spell protections and spell protection removals.
89,56% of statistics are made up on the spot. 56,4% of people are more likely to believe said statistics if they appear more pricse by "not being too round". Everybody knows that...
This person guessed the correct password, looked at the e-mail then posted screenshots. The wiretapping analogy is accurate up until the part where he posted screenshots. The person who changed the account is the whistleblower who alerted authorities, supposedly on the pretense of preventing "further damages". There is no reason for anon to CHANGE her password if the snooping was done for the lulz.
I bet that, 30 years down the line, I will be able to make your now-fully-grown children weep by simply slowly breaking Popsicle sticks in front of them.
Your reward system is sound but, as all physical reward systems, fails to develop morals. Your children are not trying to be GOOD, they are trying to follow the game's "rules" to earn sticks. I am certain that you, as a responsible parent, do the "last mile" of explaining WHY certain behavior is acceptable or not and to develop their sense of morality. I personally belive this is infinitely more valuable to their development than the sticks, no matter how quaint or apprently effective the system is.
Except in this case "Bob" is not pretending to be "Neil", he's pretending to be "Jesus H. Christ". You'd figure someone, somewhere would throw up a red flag at that.
I suggest you read up on corporate finance because your post indicates a profound misunderstanding of the current economical crisis' ACTUAL source : Deregulation of investmebnt banking. These was lobbied for extensively by two people who'se names you might recognize from the current election cycle : Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Tresury Secretary "Hank" Paulson. Let`s not even go into the Senator`s invovlement in the "Keating 5" savings and loan scandal...
But yes,yes, keep blaming Clinton. It's much easier.
Your facts were entirely wrong in practically every single way possible. You are a moonbat. I don`t need to quote "facts" to back this assertion up because it`s clear as day to everyone not laughably deluded as you are. Mod me flamebait, I`ve got karma to burn. Your idiocy simply BEGS to be pointed out.
Yes, the invisible but all-powerful hand of the free market will rectify things on the fly if we take the government out of the equation, leaving money and happiness for all! Don`t question HOW, trust (other) (greedy) people to do the right thing....kind of..like..if they were the government. Without the accountability. Much better!
Get off your high horse, oh Internet White Knight. Nobody would scream bloody murder if a male scientist was called a "crafty dude". The rest of your drivel was meaningless hyperbole.
Hollywood-style accounting would result in this being quite the losing proposition for Fox - they'll ask for the money up-front because they know the game too.

The combination of your comment and signature is (uninentionnally?) hilarious.

I wish I could un-read your post and pray that those responsible for it have been sacked.

Well, they`re hippies...so they obviously know what they're talking about when they say something smells funky.

Speaking of which, anybody seen my red stapler? I can't find it and it's driving me nuts.

So what you're saying is it's more like a portal truck then a tube.

Well, we could slice her in half and count the rings...

Have fun raiding the same capital, again. And again. And again, because it's the only fucking town there is.
This is Slashdot. We don't care if the checkout line is sentient. What we really want to know is..
Does it run Linux?
I think you mean your pleonasm detector. There's nothing impossible about thin 2d - it's pretty much the ultimate expression of thin!
Damn kids and their IP's...in my days we got by with a map of the Internet and some pushpins.
Get off my e-lawn!
You're clever young man, very clever, but it's quasy all the way down.
I, for one, welcome our meteorological phenomenon overlords.
not to mention pirate detectors, a considerably more hazadous job. Pirates don't LIKE to be detected until they are ready to board your ship!
Which is patently illegal and getting laughed out of court.
What's next, sending fraudulent checks in the mail to everyone in a neighbourhood to see if someone'll cash 'em in?
