It happened last week a movie theater where a marine and his wife were assaulted by angry black teens after a movie... a man went to his car to get his gun, and helped to stop the situation.
I agree completely. I'm watching MSNBC and they're discussing how to avoid things like this in the future and not one of them said "How about we govern in the people's interest?"
These politicians need to be scared of more than just a vote because they have the political game mastered. 2 political parties shift power back and forth back and forth and the people rarely get anything out of it.
A scared politician, is a working for the people's interest.... not wall streets etc.
Frankly... its sad she was shot, and others died... but our nation's decline is going to result in acts of desperation like this... and one may very well argue that those acts are required.
Every corporation will start to use this system and that will turn what was a "enhancement to security" into a "Standard required to access any internet service"
First they tell you its just to help, then they own you.
Fuck the national ID, internet ID.... how about fucking universal single payer not for profit health care?
Fuck both of these parties. Fuck Obama.. fuck Bhoener... fuck them all.
Those two are probably the last drop of sanity we have. Ron Paul is a bit too republican for me with his wanting to dismantle the federal gov... but I can certainly sympathize with why...
I just dont think its a good idea, as we could do a lot of good for our people if we had a good federal gov that focused on doing so. Unfortunately we clearly have a government for the rich by the rich.
I just dont see the use in facebook. I guess its because I barely get laid and dont give a fuck about people's virtual farms, vane attempts at being a model/celebrity or their stupid fucking updates.
Multiplayer is fun, but nothing provides an experience like a well crafted single player game. Take ICO, or Shadow of the Colossus, or Metal Gear 4 for example. Or the upcoming Last Gaurdian by Sony.... or God of War, or Uncharted, or even EA's own Dead Space...
How about Crysis?
Single Player games provide a story... and stories are what grip our emotions, and peak our long term interest. Movies are not dead... and neither are single player experiences.
The real truth here is... Multiplayer games are EASIER to make. They require less thought. A good story takes thought, it takes elaborate set pieces and well structured events that are dramatic, exciting both visually and emotionally. These things are hard....
Multiplayer games are basically simple... Create a bunch of weapons and let people run around with them hitting each other in a maze. How many mazes are you going to make? Most of EA's multiplayer games from DICE have shipped with only a few maps, 6 at most. Take Bad Company 2 or Metal of Honor for example. Both are terrible multiplayer games created by a half ass developer. Metal of Honor is a great example of this. Contrast DICE's multiplayer portion, to Danger Closes's single player portion. The single player is engaging, fun, exciting... although short, where as the multiplayer is a rehash of Bad Company 2's engine and game play.
NOW DICE and EA are making a new Battlefield game, which will yet again use the DICE Bad Company 2 multiplayer engine. See a pattern here? EA is trying to save cost, because instead of developing engaging single player experiences... OR even a good multiplayer experience... they simply are reusing multiplayer code, and selling the game 3 times as 3 different games... without providing a good number of maps with each game.
Single player captures your mind... Multiplayer is competitive. Thats all it is. Multiplayer is much cheaper and easier to make and can be resold and resold and resold... and it also helps prevent piracy.
I'll take any of those single player games I've mentioned over MOST of the multiplayer games out there... with one exception. Call of Duty. Modern Warfare 1 and 2 provide AMAZING single player experiences with incredible multiplayer experiences. The same can be said about Black Ops.
This is how you make great, exciting games.
EA is cutting corners to cut cost...
Try selling us another DICE multiplayer game EA... maybe the 4th one will catch on....
This is a symbolic protest, more so than an effective one.
The real winners in this war will be those in power, with financial means to buy elected members of our government (which is all of them).
The only way to beat money... is a large group of angry opposition armed to the teeth with weapons. But even then, money still has the advantage in that money can buy bigger guns and write the laws they will hang you by.
Despite Creative's very rocky buggy drivers early on and design issues with early X-FI's The Fatality Tittanium card has been incredible compared to my built in audio on my intel board.
I could NEVER get line in to work on the realtek stuff. It was always flakey, the drivers first said it wasnt possible due to a design bug, then a year later they updated and line in was there... but it barely functioned right. I use line in because I have 2 workstations next to each other.
So I went and bought an XFI... thinking it would cure all my problems. It did, but it too had driver issues, there was a serious latency issue with audio where it would corrupt audio until you restarted a program... namely ITUNES caused it all the damn time.
I rarely run into the issue now though. But the card has been a very good experience, audio quality is great, very little machine noise bleeds in, where as my onboard audio was so noisy.
I use XBMC and pipe out the DTS to a receiver, the XFI does it all very well.
I'm glad I bought it, although it has its issues and Creative really needs to get their shit together because I may look elsewhere next time for a more supported card that gets more frequent driver updates. But all in all, the chip on the XFI is extremely good, and the card surpasses the onboard in function, audio quality and even driver support...

Sure, why support THE video standard?
Google, you're fucking dumb.

Absolutely. I have a feeling that it is quickly coming to this...
and a big part of me... honestly hopes so.

You're a fucking moron. Its that simple.
"even those who dont want/need it"
Who the fuck doesnt want or need health insurance?
Everyone needs it... you may not need it now, but you may need it tomorrow when you finally get that lump in your neck looked at.

The others didnt.
Exactly right. Our American government is in direct violation of the US constitution.
The question is... when will something be done about that?
What happens when our government is in violation of our constitution?
Who will hold the law makers accountable?
no.
Do I have to be?
OR... maybe he doesnt trust our political/judicial system... and thinks a fair trial is impossible.
Certainly it would seem to be true considering that both US and England want him dead.

Simply do not buy their overpriced, under featured junk.
Apple hates fun.

Money gets what money wants.
Its that simple.
Money would be perfectly fine if you had the quality of life of a poor Ethiopian.

Will they take down every website? Will they make hyper-linking illegal?
This is just fucking dumb.
If I attach a copyrighted image to a forum, that website can be shut down by court order?
Give me a fucking break.
These fucking assholes are the real criminals. The poor people stealing a few fucking movies hurts NO ONE.
