Don't bring facts into these discussions. I like the fake lawyers giving ridiculous legal opinions almost as much as the paranoid types complaining about how Bush wants to know how many times they head to the comic shop.
So maybe the bit about killing people in your sig doesn't count as a lie because you don't mean it? Or maybe you actually kill people and somehow feel justified in doing so for purely selfish reasons as you've indicated?
Oscar: Both my parents were born in Mexico, and they moved to the United States a year before I was born, so I grew up in the United States... my parents were Mexican. Michael Scott: Wow, that is a great story. That's the American dream right there, right? Um, let me ask you, is there a term besides 'Mexican' that you prefer? Something less offensive?
So basically, in your inexpert and clearly biased opinion, Microsoft is on the way out? I'll be sure to congratulate you if either that happens, or you win the lottery. Either is about as likely.
In reality, people can just code for IE and ignore the other browsers and hit most of the web. It's not really Microsoft's problem - it's everyone else's. Trying to get Microsoft to see it as something they need to fix is futile. They don't need to do a thing. They have no interest in making the web interoperable. Why would they?
The smart thing to do is ignore them and move on. The wasteful thing to do is to scream at them, much like a brick wall.
So, looking in the Steam Store, I see the Orange Box is $49.95. Checking the individual prices shows me that Episode 2 sells for $29.95, Team Fortress 2 for $29.95, and Portal for $19.95. I see no Black Box option. This leads me to believe that in your comment, the "M" in "MSRP" means "man on the Internet" because I see no such suggested price from the manufacturer. I guess you're allowed to assign whatever value you like, but comparing the price against something that was never offered is kinda retarded.
Why would breeding for intelligence at the expense of resilience be desirable? Intelligence certainly hasn't proven itself to be some ubertrait that must be achieved above all else. I'd say breed for compassion, sociality, and athleticism. It would make for a much better human race.
Getting in front of a car in the traffic lane while merging from an on-ramp is part of the system. Apparently the zipper escapes you as well, my friend.
Yeah yeah yeah. Congrats. No one alive know has a claim to creating the language, though, so it belongs to anyone who speaks it. Technically, I'm right, and so are you, and so is everybody else. So stuff it already.
These people have been starving since long before I was born, so no, I don't have to take responsibility for it.
The area they live in hasn't been arable since before the industrial revolution, so no, my society doesn't need to take responsibility for it.
The people who aren't feeding themselves either aren't capable, in which case they aren't viable people, or aren't willing, in which case they aren't viable people. The trash heap of history welcomes them.
I find it obscene that the starving people don't grow their own food. If they're so stupid they can't figure that out, saving them isn't really worth the trouble.
You sound like the people who say the only reason marijuana is illegal is because anyone can grow it. Do you have some weird vision of everyone building themselves a hydro plant or manufacturing their own solar cells? Let's not be too retarded here, please.
The ability to pay for what you steal isn't really a factor, you know. Nice red herring, though. It's a pretty good argument to distract the weak minded.
Why not just curb the overuse, instead? It's very rarely appropriate, it's just the fallback line for lazy thinkers who don't want to deal with the real issues underneath.
Where's the profit in giving things to people who need them, as opposed to educating them to be self-sufficient and hence more likely to buy things later? I understand the profit motive leads to bad things happening, but in this case it doesn't make any damn sense.

Assuming you never tell lies (since you obviously don't want yourself put to death) I wonder how you'll feel being all alone in the world?
In practice that has left USB straggling behind Firewire
Although ridiculously more popular. Technology is not the only concern.

Sorry Valve didn't consult you, they may have realized their error. Your brilliant analysis has changed my mind, I know that.

You can outrun or dodge a bullet? You oughta set up a circus act. You could be a thousandaire.
That seems excessive. If the unionistas knew anything about management, they wouldn't be qualified to be in the union anymore.

You just dissected the frog.
I was going to pay attention to your opinion, and then I hit the word "nooblets" and realized you're a retard.
Yeah yeah yeah. Congrats. No one alive know has a claim to creating the language, though, so it belongs to anyone who speaks it. Technically, I'm right, and so are you, and so is everybody else. So stuff it already.
Screw the we. How much are you willing to do? What have you done, aside from preach on the resource hogging internet?

I would recommend you take your "back to the past" bullshit and go sling it in the woods to the animals.
