He's a congressional aide, not a highly-placed politician. No one elected him for his position.
For me, what made this worth reading was the humor in the exchange. The fact that the guy works for a Republican congressman is just blood in the water for the liberal sharks around here.
That's because you've been trained by Hollywood and Slashdot and all the other happy lefty bullshitters to believe anyone in business must be a liar and a thief. It's a generalization that isn't even close to true, but that doesn't stop it from being propagated in the name of populism. Unfortunately, the idea of the noble poor is just as much a myth.
Everyone has equal potential to be scum. It's just easier to make people hate successful scum.
You make a lot of claims with no backing. Do you have anything further I can read, preferably authoritative, that would confirm or at least corroborate what you've posted?
I suppose that would do the trick, but the onlyh situation I can imagine where this would happen would be an explosion. I wouldn't count blowing something up as fooling it.
Where, exactly, did the right to distribute other people's work originate? I think you've confused your desire for free entertainment with the fair use rights that exist.
Sorry, I wasn't really trying to be a dick about it.
Considering that Nintendo now charges 60 dollars for their controllers (in two convenient purchases so it doesn't feel like you're spending so much), I'd say they're well beyond the nickel and dime stage.
Thank you, kind sir. I was in danger of laughing, and it would be most unfortunate for me to find something humorous. Without your service in destroying my mirth, I could, even now, be in a good mood. I shudder to consider the consequences.

I can tell you how to get to it, but first I'll need you to take a picture of a pigeon or a squirrel.
Guess what - it's common usage now. The threshold has been breached. You have become the idiot.

Minority report was a PKD short story. Your slashdottian obsession with 1984 notwithstanding, don't disparage my Dick.
Exactly. A real man would be rigid in his opinions for 30 years. Only the weak change their minds.
If anyone at all is here for the jokes, I fear for their sense of humor.

I hope calling me a moron made you feel better. As long as I could help you with your insecurities, my job is done.
Jeezus pleezus you sure do overreact. Fitfully, at that. Entertaining. I give it an 8.5
Security is not a zero sum game.

The chinaman is not the issue here.

I almost feel enlightened for having embraced capitalism at such a young age.
I appreciated this immensely. Just wanted to give you some props.

If oranges were blue, growers would investigate growing them in blue groves.
They probably use a variant of the following line of thought: We are in business to make a profit.
It's not too hard to imagine that as the justification.
Also, the browser isn't necessary to use the Nintendo online features. That's built in already. The browser is for porn.
Oh, so it's envy. Well that's a very noble reason to hate someone.
I think they reversed the tachyon flow through the warp coils
Truly, your business acumen is dizzying.

You have very specific demands, which in general mean diddly squat to the population at large. Also, you're not likely to ever get them.
So the earth is alive, now? Maia or Gaia or whatever the hell?
More hippie bullshit. Let's stick to science.
