    So where does Minecraft fit into that? They are consuming entertainment by "building" virtual structures.

    Is that worse than the world where parts aren't interchangeable because they've all been hand-crafted?

    I think it's pretty normal for new CPUs and GPUs to be news here though. You're right about phones getting bigger though.

    lol, i hope your cellphone isn't still the size of a brick. What's the point of smaller and cheaper, right?

    The President could have closed gtmo down if he wanted. Executive order, all troops redeployed elsewhere. Let congress try to run that facility without military support. It would be on their heads, not his.

  17. Re:It tried to follow the plot on Critics Reassess Starship Troopers As a Misunderstood Masterpiece · · Score: 1

    Ah, that may be my fault, sorry. Military service wasn't required, it was just at the extreme end. Any federal job granted you voting rights. The main point was that there is a cost to be able to vote. You can't just be born and have full rights. You have to earn them. Not having voting rights didn't make you a second-class person though. Many people didn't care enough to be bothered with voting.

  18. Re:It tried to follow the plot on Critics Reassess Starship Troopers As a Misunderstood Masterpiece · · Score: 4, Informative

    People often forget why service was pushed so hard. You could not vote in an election if you weren't a veteran. The reason why veterans were the only voting group was because they were the ones who rebuilt the government after it collapsed. No politician from that day forward could send someone to war without knowing the horrors of it.

  22. Re:motives? on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    When you said no one would investigate, it made me think that you were saying the company would not investigate because they were the criminals. If you are saying that is not the case, then i think there would be an investigation by the company.

    You are certainly right that it could have been an inside job though. They'd have to be afraid of an internal audit though.

  23. Re:motives? on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    There are consequences to inputs.io. People with bitcoins probably all panicked and pulled their coins out. That is why it is very unlikely to be an inside job.
