As a member of the religious right and a conservative, and a former huge fan of Sesame Street and Grouchkateer, I can affirm to you that we have no problem with the classic show, no problem with Bert and Ernie (seperate beds, come on!), no problem with Oscar the Homeless Democrat, and no problem with Cookie enjoying a fine tobacco product.
I think the societal ills (and the changes you dislike in Sesame Street) are a result of attempts to feminize boys and fat, militant women in flannel who think they know what is best for society and are running for president.
Well, my story. Everything I get from Bittorrent (tv shows) is in DivX. I'd like to watch them on my TV. Right now there is some kind of live transcoder but I'd really rather not have to deal with that.
For years all you slashdot assholes were whining about how awful it was for one company to dominate a market or a standard. You CHEERED the prosecution of Microsoft during the Clinton era. You cheered the EU going after MS on issues ranging from the OS to browser and music player integration, etc.
So now we have a REAL format battle between TWO major players with neither having a clear edge. Isn't this the kind of competition you assholes were saying would be great for consumers?
And now e get this: In this war, there may not be a winner, but I guarantee the consumers will be the losers.
Maybe you should try Walmart. I've never had issues with their return desk and they are pretty friendly to boot. And no service plan or other 'by any means necessary' attitude. Not all big companies abuse their customers.
I agree with some of your reasoning but your list of 'unanswered' games is not particularly objective; IE - they aren't unaswered because they aren't worthy of answer.
AC6, PDZ and Saint's Row? You must be joking. GRAW2 was on the PS3.
It's not like there aren't unanswered 360 games - you just listed the ones that were NOT among them. Like PG3, Geometry ars, Viva Pinata, Burnout Revenge, and Cra-Cra-Cra-Crackdown.
360 pretty much has that already (streaming of current eps - or at least you can start watching them while they are still downloading), though a la carte rather than for a subscription.
However, bittorrent is damn fast and you can stream that TO your 360.
You're not a real scientists, either, if you must look with an obtuse eye at some whose theory disagree with your own and and conflate their theories with others whose theories disagree with your own but are more untenable.
Bringing up comments regarding ideology/dogma, Genesis, the Bible, etc. have no place in this discussion you are having now. I'm surprised you didn't try and associate him with young eathers.
Skepticism of Darwinian Evolution does not require any of those. It is possible to be open to the theory of intelligent design as an athiest or an agnostic. You do not need to be 'told' of that theory - or have skepticism of Darwinian Evolution - by your culture/religion/anyone else.
Right now and in this moment, the mechanisms required in ID's theory of the origin of life on earth is observable, testable, and repeatable. None of that can be said of the constantly changing mechanisms behind DE as they become increasingly outlandish - punctuated equalibrium?
DE needs to be recognized for what it is: an ideology, a religion even, supported by blinded adherents with a personal stake - either financial (government/uni grants) or psychological (they think they need it - falsly - to demean the value of mankind - OR they simply want to use it to disassociate themselves with those who disagree witht the theory). I'm guessing you fall into the last camp?
When you create a technology (Sandisk own the creator of nonvolitile SSM) and then 26 other companies start to rip off your technology without a license, that is only referred to as competition in Slashdotland.
You will notice that Apple, MS, Creative, etc. are not on the list. They compete against Sandisk but somehow found out how to legally.
You make some good points and it's too bad you got modded down.
I would counter you a little by saying that almost no matter what the producer does, he cannot distribute his content as quickly in nearly as short a time as using BT. I remember even Microsoft's downloads getting slammed on certain days. I'd much rather give up some of my bandwidth (which costs me nothing for volume ATM) than have to wait a day or two to get the content through a direct dl.
Ah - and to clearify - I wouldn't have sold the fertalizer, but my new employee didn't know any better and I only saw the guys as they left, unaware they had placed the order for delivery.
Recently the FBI came to my shop and asked if I had sold a large quantity of fertilizer to a few white guys who were talking about killing all the n*ggers and k*kes. I told the FBI those guys came in on Tuesday and that I had a credit card reciepts from that day - but I'm not sure which of the dozen receipts from that day belonged to these two guys.
So I told the cops I'd just make a copy of all twelve and they could take them and follow up themselves.
Unfortunately, my effort to keep my neighborhood, family, and country safe has backfired. Some of the other customers whom the FBI followed up with because their's were among the receipts I shared with the FBI have decided to sue for violating their privacy.
I'd really rather not have to go bankrupt defending myself so I think that, since I was clearly acting in good faith, I need to get immunity. The juries around here are played easily by the slick lawyers and right now I'm really hesitant to help the FBI again.
Er, wow. If only the release had many of these features...
I mean, you can't have expanded the missions so much (though DLC allowed for this) because programmer time is limited, but I hope Bethesda is looking at all the improvements the outside made. Thanks for sharing.
Soy is an especially lousy source of protein. The biological availability of it is a fraction of skim milk's. Soy is also a bad choice for young boys because it aromatizes into a estrogin. Not so great for men either unless you are a tranny.
While your post sounds like you are intelligent I am boggled by how you can be unaware that MS purchased Bungie long before the original Xbox came out - that's why Halo was a launch title.
the release of Bungie is a huge blow to Microsoft's internall developed games
No, not at all. They were always independant within the company and MS still owns a large chunk of their equity. No don't expect to see Marathon on the PS anytime soon.
The purpose of these Church activities for people your age are to encourage intermarraige among members. Since women think Halo has something to do with angels, a Halo tourny at Church would not advance this goal. Nor does participating in Halo tournies advance your interests in getting laid.... within the bounds of matrimony of course.

Comcast has nothing to do with limiting WoW bittorrent patches. Comcast is limiting seeding.
And the only candidates who are preaching NN the same ones who claim to see UFOs (much like all the other NN supporters.)

WM has then redefined it's 'typical' customer by expanding their product offerings, haven't they?
1) Being American-centric is not the same as being 'ethnocentric.' Maybe a national reference where you are from is ethnocentric, but not here.
2) Define 'significant.'

Well fuck you all.
Feel free to educate yourself.

To answer your question, Sandisk owns the firm that created nonvolitile Solid State Memory. They took it from zero to hero.
Please ignore the haters replying who have never and will never create anything worth patenting.
You will notice that Apple, MS, Creative, etc. are not on the list. They compete against Sandisk but somehow found out how to legally.

it was called Gears of War.

Skim milk from cows is ideal.
Notice how the Navy is almost entirely nuke powered.
I drink diet and prefer diet's taste (to HFCF, I suppose) and dislike sugar making me fat.
But I will be sure to try real Coke (or Pepsi) when I am out of the country to see if I can tell.
