There's no need to criminalize the speech. If you call for someone to kill someone, and they do, then you can be charged with conspiracy to commit murder if it can be shown that they did so by your request.
Shouting fire in a crowded theatre likewise does not deserve to be criminalized. Charge the person with reckless endangerment, and if someone died manslaughter.
Badgering someone and repeatedly using racial slurs against them can likewise be dealt with under harassment laws.
This is easy people, restrictions on free speech do nothing that can;t already be covered by existing laws.
Because my generation is narcissistic with a sense of entitlement. We'll bitch about it on the internet, but when the time comes in real life to stand for the principles we just can;t be inconvenienced.
It's missing essential features. I literally cannot do my job without MOF and EDL exports, something FCP X removed. I literally cannot do my job without video monitoring, something FCP X removed. These are basic things in an editing program, and it's totally baffling as to why they are gone.
Paying for yourself not practical? I don't smoke and I'm not overweight, and I pay $150/mo for full coverage. If I stay in the hospital, I'm never on the hook for more than $1500; my insurance pays the rest. Granted I am single and young, but I'm not exactly going bankrupt here. I'm sure if you have a large family or are otherwise unhealthy it can be a a huge burden, but if you can't afford that then it pays to not have kids and just take care of yourself.
Some games work well with touch controls. Turn based games work fine. Touch your unit to select, move the screen, then touch the grid you want to move them too. Point and click adventure games work quite well too. I agree it's not suitable for all types of game, but for many genres it makes perfect sense.
"DON'T WATCH THE CONTENT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING THIS LEGISLATION IN ANY FORM"
It's not that cut and dry. I work in the movie industry, and my union asked me to support the legislation. I wrote back and not only declined to support it, but actively opposed it.
So sure. Don't watch my stuff just because SOME of the people working on it don't agree with you. How about you watch what you like, and oppose the laws with your representative?
Seriously? Kill them before they kill you? You don't have the balls. I'll eat my words when you and your militia storm the capitol and start executing lawmakers.
Me, I prefer not to act like a terrorist and go for more non violent methods. You have many options. How about you and several million other people refuse to pay taxes? That would get the attention of an already cash starved govt. How about you stage massive non violent protests? Certainly worked for Gandhi.
This isn't the dark ages; we don't have to cut off the king's head to make change. But we DO need people who are actually willing to act instead of just talk, something I doubt you're capable of. If you are, then I'll be sure to say I'm sorry by visiting you in federal prison.
120 and 240 fps actually do make a difference with 24p material. If your TV is running 60fps, 24 doesn't go evenly into that and so you have to either telecine the material or duplicate certain frames. Either way this affects the motion of the film by causing jittering.
if your TV runs at 120 or 240 fps, 24 goes into that and so you don't need to worry. Each frame can be displayed for the same length of time, and you get smoother motion. 60 also goes into these, so all 720p and 1080i content will play smoothly as well.
Your assertion is not correct. Starcraft wasn't widely played professionally or held as the pinacle of RTS balance until Patch 1.08, and at that time they were getting feedback and balancing it for professionals. Starcraft is what it is because of input from top players.
Developers just aren't in general focusing on providing a challenging single player experience that one needs to keep playing to master. I mean, look at a game like Super Meat Boy. Single player, but there's no way you'll explore everything it has to offer even in 20 hours. Maybe more.
I continually spend a great deal of money to import Cave shooters from Japan. These games can easily be beaten in 30 minutes on free play. The appeal, is that to actually get good enough to 1CC them and get a good score, take months and months of practice.
What's killing the single player games market in my eyes is the focus of single player on storytelling. Instead of being about getting good enough at the game to conquer all the challenges it has to offer, developers are treating the single player mode as merely a way to tell their story, and so design the campaigns to be easy to beat (so their story can be told).
It's been a very long time since a major release has actually been challenging to finish the single player portion of. The appeal of multiplayer is obviously that you can get better and better since you're playing actual humans. You used to have to get better and better to beat the single player portion of many games, but this is no longer the case, and in many cases 100%ing can be accomplished even by beginners. That's why it's dying.
What is even more ridiculous, is that he is being charged with that, yet at no point did he talk to an underage girl. There was an adult police officer on the other end the whole time.
Have you tried pressing the menu button or 'next'? I watch a lot of DVDs, both blu ray and SD, and I've never ever seen trailers you can't skip. People say this all the time, but I've never ever seen it. Can you identify one such DVD so I can go check this out and see what all the complaining is about?
The salaries of actors doesn't help. The salaries of editors and directors doesn't help.
I won't speak of Directors' and Actors' salaries, but Union Editors make about 3 grand a week working on a mainstream TV show on a major network. Five 12 hour days a week comes out to 50 dollars an hour. Hardly outrageous.
Have you been watching too Much Penn & Teller bullshit again? You know, the one they did about second hand smoke saying it didn't cause cancer, when later they said "We fucked up on that one"?
I'd suggest watching The Awful Truth by Michael more. Say what you will about him, but in one episode he brings out the voicebox choir to sing for the tobacco companies on christmas. One of the men had throat cancer and had his larynx removed. And guess what? He never smoked a day in his life. But his wife did.
Modern cutting has to do with modern directing. Now that everything is shot digitally for the most part, directors tend to roll lots of cameras from lots of angles since it is cheaper than burning through film, and as such try to 'find it in editing'. Rather than plan out a few shots well, you tend to get many more that are less interesting, and so cutting is actually required to keep it interesting. Rare is the director nowadays who takes blocking seriously, and yes it's disappointing.

The government sure as hell CAN be boycotted. If everybody refused to pay taxes, shit would stop really quickly.

That's why you need a union. Alone you have no bargaining power, but the workforce collectively through the union has much more sway.

"Would you play completely through a game that had half naked men and only men that were half naked in it?"
If it had good mechanics and was fun, yes.

So what? $2400 is chump change if it lets you do your job easier. My Mac Pro has paid for itself many times over.

Do you think that just by killing bin laden Al Queda will just magically vanish?

Look at that subtle off white coloringâ¦the tasteful thickness of itâ¦oh my godâ¦it even has a watermark.
That's why you simply don't talk to the police as per your 5th amendment right. They can't use anything you say against you if you say nothing.

Glass is heavy. Glass can break. Glass is more expensive.

And some games need to be played in the arcade, which consoles killed too.

It sure doesn't work that way anymore, or else Bin Laden would have been person of the year in 2001.
