    Do not debate relative merits, just brainwash your audience. Don't let them decide; tell them what they want.
    Sounds a lot like current America politics, no?

    "You're either with us or against us." You're accused of being anti-American, treasonous, or a traitor if you disagree with the government.

    I think Microsoft is just practicing government tactics; after all, if it's going to be like one, it has to act like one.
  5. Re:They're stopping now? on Sony Ceases Production of PSOne · · Score: 1
    When was the last time anyone saw a new PSone in a store?
    Late 2004 or early 2005 at the Target in Millenia (Orlando area), actually. It came bundled with three games, too. I believe it was $70 or $80.

    I wouldn't mind them porting Knights or whatever that game was called.
    I believe the game you're looking for is NiGHTS into Dreams for the Saturn:
    Players take the role of either Claris or Elliot, two children living in the city of Twin Seeds. In their dreams, they enter the world of Nightopia, where all human dreams are played out. An evil creature known as Wizeman is gathering power to take control of the dream world. The children attempt to save Nightopia by teaming up with NiGHTS, a Nightmaren (nightmare-dweller) who rebelled against Wizeman.

    The GameCube appears to be indestructible.
    Not so. Many GameCubes are also getting Disc Read Errors, and my brother had to get a new one when his GameCube's disc nub broke.

    Those analogies are flawed because they are for competitors.
    No, they're flawed because he put Windows 200 instead of Windows 2000. Yes, the typo is bad enough to affect both.

  16. Time to burn some karma. on Financial Responsibility == Terrorism? · · Score: 1
    In 2003, we published reports that intelligence professionals had raised doubts about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and questioned claims of a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Our detractors claimed we made the whole thing up. Two years later, we were proven right.
    We were the first news outlet to identify the names of women who claimed sexual abuse by Bill Clinton when he was attorney general and later governor of Arkansas.

    That exact same thought crossed my mind, and I've come to the conclusion that this isn't the first round of information "requests." Once the Feds get their hands on this information, they'll shut up for a year or two and then demand search logs with identifying information.

    Has the government really thought this through?
    Yes.
    They have to realise they're setting a precident here.
    They most certainly are.

    That precedent is this: When we ask for whatever information we want, you'd better damned well give it to us!

    You must (2) demand that your government fund education.
    Are you insane? Do you honestly think that government schools will teach against the government? No, because they are part of the government. Just as Catholic priests don't preach against the Pope, so will government schools not speak against the government.
