Frankly I'm pretty annoyed we haven't got one of these in my country!
I don't even care if my country gets one card, I just wish the branches of government would talk to each other so any change doesn't require a million calls.
When my wife and I got married it took two separate government organizations just to make the marriage official, then she had to contact six of them to let them know her name had changed. When we moved we had to update our drivers licenses, health cards, income tax info, etc.... Meanwhile half these services were in the same building.
This comment reads like you think people dying for no good reason (real war) is less of an issue than the chance you might not be able to mod your PS3 ("war on culture"?). At first I thought I read it wrong so I went through some of your older comments, apparently you believe "copyright is a crime against humanity". And yet, based on previous comments you appear to support the GPL (a copyright license) without pushing for open source to go public domain.
You're redefining evil to suit your agenda just like the *IAA redefines theft to suit theirs.
And would they want to work for Sony? I imagine they're likely to have ethical issues with developing DRM, and a belief that effective measures are impossible.
Your guess is as good as mine but last I checked, Hotz mentioned it on his own site.
I would hire this people who broke the ps3's security to help me make the new version if I were them. Hotz even talked about it.
Would you really hire the guy handing out copies of the keys to your kingdom? Don't get me wrong, I think it's absolutely fantastic that those keys are out there but I don't think Sony would trust him not to do it again.
That's the whole issue, isn't it? How can you objectively prove Wikileaks whether is good or bad for the average person? What's too much or too little transparency?
One interesting side effect I've noticed is that regular news coverage appears to be better. I think Wikileaks has motivated a lot of investigative journalists to step up their game.
The scientists here have managed to completely ignore one simple but important fact; no one has any good recipes for insect meat. With the meat being so far outside what's usually considered food, that could kill it. Even currying might not be enough to get people to eat this stuff.
A friend is mine is an entomologist and he has some amazing recipes involving all manner of bug. If you want a good treat, dry-roast mealworms on a cookie sheet in your oven and grind them into a fine powder, mix them into banana bread dough and bake as usual; the end result has a very nice nutty flavor. Fried crickets work very well in oatmeal cookies, especially if you add chocolate chips to hide them, though you will occasionally end up with a head sticking out of the cookie. Obviously, there are also chocolate-covered ants. I've even had candied scorpion, which tastes kind of like soft-shelled crab.
If you're squeamish, start with the banana bread. Eventually you can move up into eating live crickets to win bets.
Actually, I would love this, because then you could correlate my clean driving record with my phone usage and it would disprove your hangup. Some people can really do two things at once with skill and safety.
Lemme guess you need the chart to watch the movie?
In my defense, I never said I didn't get the movie, just that this story makes more sense.;)
I thought Primer was a really interesting take on time travel. The low budget really worked in the movie's favor too; you were just an observer watching two insignificant guys stumble onto something huge with no idea how to handle it instead of watching a 90 minute CGI demo.
I always figured that there was an element of superstition that made them expect something bad would happen, maybe they just weren't surprised when it did. On the other hand, the first moon landing was less than a year before so it could just have been that their nerves were already shot from navigating relatively uncharted territory.

Of course! Where else would we store the beer?
Yes, but you should still change in the basement.
No, it's Lemmings. He was the miner and any minute now there will be about a hundred more of him coming through that hole.
I think it'd make for a pretty interesting sociological study. I can't wait to see how some of the people I work with are acting on Monday.
Muphry's Law strikes again.

I was just going to recommend Zenni Optical myself. I have four pairs of glasses from there for less than it would have cost for one anywhere else.
I don't see anything about encryption. Are you supposed to broadcast your donkey porn to the neighbor in the open?
You're not supposed to, but it is appreciated.

I just spent a fairly ridiculously long time staring at.
I could say the same thing about source code, but my manager would not get the joke.
He'd probably just spend a fairly ridiculously long time staring at you.
Dude, that's because you left the phone on vibrate.
There isn't a spambot alive who could answer "In the above movie, how many cocks were inside Jenna Jameson?" or "what sex position is this?"
Six and the Arabian spinecracker.
You could just hire people from /. to solve captcha porn.
How can you objectively prove whether Wikileaks is good or bad for the average person? What's too much or too little transparency?
Fixed.
God, I need coffee...
Just treat people with respect, you fucking douchebag.
Well, that fills my irony quota for the week.

Don't worry, it'll be replaced by an even stupider craze.
Like putting giant touchscreens in the console. Oh, wait...

Did you know over 80% of people consider themselves above average drives? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority#Driving_ability)
You may be as good as you think you are but I don't want to be on the road with you to find out.
Where I come from boss == wife.
No wonder you're here instead.

It still makes more sense than Primer.
If you're going to use lolspeak it probably would have been "We has a problem. Do not want."
