This is why I support the rapid and unfettered advancement of computer graphics, because only once we have reached the photo-realistic apogee of game visuals, then the games industry will need to focus more on other elements such as gameplay, story and characterisation to set titles apart from others. Shinier graphics are here to stay, and I'd rather get this obsession out of the way as quickly and painlessly as possible than drawing it out in '5 extra frames per second' increments.
You dodged a bullet there, my friend. There's only one stand-out feature regarding the RAZR: looks. It's sub-par in practically every other aspect. I should know, as I own one. Still, it was a freebie from my dad as he wanted to keep his old phone. Beggars can't be choosers and all that.
We really need a kiddy porn equivalent of Godwin's Law that is applicable whenever someone implies that anybody who favours privacy, anonymity, freedom of speech or any other equivalent idea is just doing it for the child porn.
If you get something wrong and somebody calls you on it, you can just label it a joke that went over their head. That's a handy catch-all, isn't it?
Next time I fuck up a story in the pub and someone points out my flaw, I'm gonna get a beermat and scrawl some unfunny doodle with someone's head and an airplane and everyone will think I'm so cool!
If that's true, I've guessed we've made much less progress than I thought.
You don't like it? Go live in fundamentalist/survivalist camp and then decide who is the kooky one.
Since when has this been any fucking kind of an argument? You see it all the time in discussions about the United States, where any criticism regarding loss of rights or liberties brings out the knee-jerk response, 'Well you go to North Korea and see what rights you have there!!!!!' Bub, we're not talking about North Korea or a fundamentalist/survivalist camp, and the fact that you're so quick to say 'We're still better than them!!!' is a very sad state of affairs.
There is nothing wrong with keeping society prim, proper, polite and personable on the surface.
Uhuh. And what exactly is 'prim' and 'proper'? Define these words in the context of modern society.
Your argument hinges on the assumption that the act of banning speech actually does 'crush race hate' instead of making no difference or making things worse.
I'm curious as to why hamburger was bracketed after raw mince in the summary. Mince is just meat put through a Play-Doh extruder, usually beef or lamb. Yes, you can make your own hamburgers out of mince, but the majority of people in the UK buy mince for dishes like spaghetti bolognese and shepherd's pie. Do Americans not buy raw mince at supermarkets? If so, is it labelled 'hamburger'? To me, this is as strange as having 'potatoes (french fries)' in the summary.

Not with all those STIs, you won't.
Twice of nothing is still nothing.
One would think that posting to Slashdot is protection enough :P
Did you make a wrong turn from the IMDB forums or something?
So that's how you earned your nick, then?
Touché, salesman.
Pass the dutchie, not duchy.

I love you man.
You're the kind of guy I'd love to buy a beer.
Keep on rocking!
Nah, that's for Type 2 Diabetes.
Yes, that was the joke.
Well, I laughed!

Ahh, I see.

Thanks!
A site about murder is far less likely to inspire murderous actions than a porn site is to incite pornographic actions.
Yeah, well, murderous actions are generally against the law and harmful to one or more persons. 'Pornographic actions' generally aren't.
And you know what, the majority would agree.
If that's true, I've guessed we've made much less progress than I thought.

Now this is why I love nerd humour!
Yeah, and those 10 percent are just pre-pubescent boys whose voices haven't broken.

Did you hear about the congressman who lost his bookmark?
He bent a page over.

I'd think they would much prefer the latest episode of Single Female Lawyer.
If you want an image of the future, it's a cat's paw scratching a human face, forever.
