    NRA does have a point though. If you are underage and have certain mental issues you shouldn't be playing COD, serious sam and the like. And if you are a parent with a kid with issues and you have guns then lock them up. Do not expose you mental kid with a poor grip on reality to firearms and COD.

    "baaah welfare" "waaah foodstamps" "teh evil lazy people don't want to work" Maybe you can think beyond the right wing media talking points that are fed yo you? Maybe you should ask your hero GWB about the rise in food stamps. Because IIRC we had 8 years of Republican policies that lead to massive economic downturn. in 2008 when Bush crashed the economy people were losing their jobs at 600,000+ a month. I can't believe that you are so brainwashed that you can't see this obvious reason why there would be a rise in foodstamps and unenmployment duuh after the 2008 downturn. It toook 8 years for bush to destory the economy and you expect people to be off foodstamps now? You should turn off the Fox News and Talk radio propoganda of a while and expose yourself to the outside world.

    The Surface is manufactured by Microsoft and is in every way theirs.

    NO NO its not Microsoft's anymore. When I purchase it its now mine. I should be able to do what the fuck I want with it. If I bought a house then decdide I want to replace/upgrade the appliances I should be able to do that. Why should a builder be allowed to lock the appliances to the house in such a way that only the fucking bulder can upgrade them. If we don't accept this with bulders of houses why do we accept this with builders of software?

  11. Re:Wow on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    All the garbage you posted here is totally missing the point. The point is that Apple is still REFUSING to license it to them. That is the point. Apple is still REFUSING to grant them a license. None of the crap you posted is relevant to the point at hand but I suppose thats your job eh? Winging on and on about when the project was started as oppsed to when the new connector became available is a desperate attempt to deflect the spotlight from Apple's egregious and despicable practices in the marketplace. I Won't be recommnending them or their products to anyone until they change their behaviour in the marketplace.

    Yes lets use multiple posts here to deflect the blame from your beloved Apple with the same damn talking points propogated in other forums. The point is not whether they should have checked first. The point is that this is yet another example of Apple's anticompetitive culture. Your relentless advocation for this destructive behaviour in the marketplace is sickening. You don't happen to work for Burson-Marsterller do you?

    Woaaaaaaa such rage out of ignorance. Its like the people on FOX raging mad because the President is a supposed Kenyan Muslim. One should get the facts first don't you think? Before you go ranting on about some topic you should at least know a bit about what you are talking about so you don't look like a moron no? How about educating us on how easy it is to get "automatic-fire assault rifles." Have you tried to purchase an "automatic-fire" weapon? Even just an "automatic-fire" pistol/handgun not even a rifle? Do you have any experience on the matter? Can you at the very least, provide a valid citation to how easy it is to legally purchase "automatic-fire assault rifles" in the USA?

    WOW! You do know that Boeing is the primary contractor among other contractors behind the design of both manned and unmannded spacecraft you mentioned here?

Surely you must know the X-37B doesn't have onboard redundant life support systems because there are no astronauts onboard to keep alive when the spacecraft is operational. /facepalm
