Seriously. You can't tell me Take Two isn't working on a Jack Thompson FPS where JT is the only target in the game. They pretty have to make that game now.
I don't understand the delay in getting a Shoot Jack Thompson Dead video game out on the web or on store shelves? What exactly is the hold up? This would be far more appropriate, not to mention fun, than the games about Columbine or V Tech...and I can't imagine he would protest this, would he? You don't know Jack...Thompson!
I'd say to the bank, prove it. Show me that I got a $20 instead of a $5. I think your atm machine mis-printed the amount I got. Got a camera on that $20 I supposedly received?
Do they keep track of the serial numbers of bills dispensed?
It is interesting to note that we must now bookend our paragraphs with the same sentences at the beginning and end. I, for one, don't care much for this new trend...and lets be honest, can we even call it a trend? More of a fad, really, I should think. Either way, it just seems patently redundant, even repetitive. But who am I to question authority? I pretty much just tag along, blindly unaware of my absolute devotion to society's will. It is interesting to note that we must now bookend our paragraphs with the same sentences at the beginning and end.
for protecting myself against this very type of fraud has worked perfectly.
Between the ages of 18-25, do everything possible to ruin your credit rating, short of bankruptcy (although that is an option for the seriously paranoid)
When you hit 30, apply for the only credit card that will have you, where you have to make a deposit, and the spending limit is $250.
The first l337 H$X00R to steal your number or find it on Google, can only spend $10, because you max it out routinely, but save room for your $10 Blockbuster Online Movie rental service each month.
l337 H$X00R denied! That is the power of thinking ahead.
How embarrassing will it be in 50 years, when we've passed a local solar maximum and things are back to normal? Until our confidence [and understanding] is so high in the matter, we shouldn't be legislating first and asking questions later.
Well, it won't be embarrassing because the Left and Al Gore, Jr. will simply say, see, we fixed it! Hooray for legislation, Hooray for anti-commerce! Hooray for stupid, dumb suckers who bought Carbon Credits!
You see, easily explained when you are the Liberal Left nutjob.
Doesn't he seem like this was truly random people. These are people who went to a kiddy-porn site and thought they were downloading some image. So, random yes, but it was some 3000 random pervs, not just a complete random sampling of society.
You're a punk ass AC whiner.
The game is damn good...one of the best to come out in the last few years, period.
Can an argument be made category by category that it could have been beaten? Sure, but it didn't get beaten. So, someone must have liked it.
Oh, and btw, Microsoft didn't make the game, so how does your last sentence even make any sense? Have you seen the XBL Arcade, the movie and tv downloads? Are you even awake while you type?
Of course its about designing security into the system, but if you don't think that Windows gets hacked the most because of marketshare, you are naive. There is a reason that Macs and Linux have little to no virus activity and it ain't because their developers are so superior. They have had the example of Microsoft's experience to learn from and attempt to prevent. But, I guarantee you if some judge forced Microsoft to shut it doors, and the world turned wholesale to Macs or whatever else, those new operating systems would get beat down just the same way Windows has. The only possible reason they might be more successful is, again, because of what they might have learned from the M$ experience. Hindsight is 20-20, as you know.
Jeez, Apple does things so much better and so much more secure than Windows.
Cue the wavy-dream-sequence-announcing-television animation....
Somehow, in an economic fluke, the Apple II flourishes and paves the way for a GUI operating system code-named..OS I. Incredibly, as years go by, Microsoft remains a niche player in the market, known mostly for its creative pieces of software, and Apple owns 98% of the desktop scene.
Even more incredible is how much smarter the Apple devs are than any alternate universe where, say, Microsoft would be in their position, and despite the efforts of all the l33t haxxors out there, Apple's products, now up to OS X, remain completely virus free. Who'd a thunk it?

I'd like to see Apple own even 75% of the market share and not have major issues with viruses and those who write them. It is easy to sit back and take pot shots at the leader when you are a very distant, distant second place runner in the game. If only those devs at Apple had been smart enough to create something better than Windoze back in the early 90's, they might find themselves in a similar situation.
Bad form, Apple, or should we change your name to Sour Grapes?
Ok, good points about an M. Knight film. But, I will admit I didn't see the asthma connection coming...the boy not breathing in the poison, until it was way obvious. You?
Um...maybe it's just me, but please name a recent blockbuster that wasn't predictable...
Of course the return to faith was easy to see...that isn't the point. Was the movie suspenseful? Was it entertaining?
I am just wondering how long it will be before one these "outed" guys decides to look up Mr. Fortuny's address and pay him a visit. This is the kind of thing that would keep me from searching for fame by destroying or humiliating others...some people take it a wee bit personally when their lives are ruined and their secret fantasy's are exposed.
However, the first time he used it, the Republicans whose spending additions got dinged immediately ran to the Supreme Court to petition that the line-item veto--that they voted for--was unconstitutional. (Please point me to a reputable site that will back this up, so that I may further my understanding of the Republican party.)
This is the offending sentence, folks. Parent proposes that it was Rep. who wanted the law, got it in, then wanted it out the first time Clinton used it. Sorry, but according to the wikipedia articles, it was the Dems who wanted it out just as soon as it was passed, and they fought twice to remove it, all while their Dem. president was happily using it.
So, I think it is a very misleading, if wikipedia is accurate, to say that the Rep. changed their minds as soon as it was used against them. Otherwise, I have not quarrel with his statements, but to bash Rep. by claiming they wanted to have their cake and eat it to just isn't fair if they didn't really do that.
I mean, really, it seems the whole point of Parent's post is to bash Republicans...and while it may be appropriate to do so, one should definitely have their facts straight.
I've been working through Rent-A-Coder for about a month now. Sure, I get underbid all the time, but I have already had five jobs, all in the $100 range that didn't take much time to complete.
I have found that many people were glad I was from the US, spoke English, and was available at roughly the same hours as themselves.
There are plenty of opportunities on RAC, you just have to keep bidding. I highly recommend it.

Doesn't she have to sue the organization that sued her, if she wants to be awarded attorney's fees?
Please, let me have just a little bit of peril!?
No, it's too perilous.
Haha, a cauterized brain. That'll bring the thinkin' to a sudden stop!
Lucky.

Ditto, but in Kansas. They are nowhere to be found, and I hear shortages are going to continue because of unprecedented demand. Dang it.

It is hoped in your "really great" replies, you remember that "hopefully" in the manner in which you used it, is incorrect.

I haven't put a stopwatch to it, but my Xbox 360 boots up much faster than my Windows XP PC.

Oh, come one. Signs wasn't that bad. In fact, it was kind of fun, and I thought M. Knight got some good acting out of Joaquin, the kids, and Mel.
Plus, you didn't know until the very end that water would play the role it did, so was it not suspenseful for you up until the sudden leap from logic?

A basic Google search leads us to the following, and quite specifically names those opposed to the bill in 1997.

So, before you go bashing the Republicans, you might want to get everything in order, and...make sure you are right.
Good day, Sir.
