In point of fact they're lying through their teeth if they're actually claiming that it's less powerful for such activities. It's much more powerful, the problem is programming for it is completely different than programming for a strictly CISC platform. This means all the guys you have programming for the PC have to learn a new programming set, or pass the work off to people who weren't initially involved. From Valve's standpoint, it certainly would have been a better move never to develop for the PS3, but that's primarily because they cater to a market that consoles generally can't touch.
Venezuela isn't attempting to crush narcoterrorists(and whatever you might think about the actual legalization of drugs, FARC are narcoterrorists) in a low-key civil war across the country. Instead it's supporting said assholes to the detriment of it's neighbor.
Actually, for countries that we just invade officially, our track record is damned good at 3.5 out of 4(Afghanistan is ongoing and is hampered by the conduct of our allies' troops.). It is only countries that we try to interfere with through subterfuge or 'police actions' that our record fails.
No, the really strange part is that they're still using giant fucking mechs instead of a properly sized powered armor that covers their whole bodies. This isn't the eighties anymore, yet the plot still seems to be stuck their miltech-wise.
Yes, laughing at us, and yet when our credit markets crash, theirs crash harder. Except for India and Japan*, they absorb our culture like a sponge. Without us, they would be ground under the heel of totalitarianism. We are still** the engine that runs the world, and the crash that will occur shall we cease to exist will be damned ugly.
* They take our culture and then completely put their own spin on it. See Bollywood and tentacle pron.
** India is in the best position to replace us, but their economy is still not mature enough to easily step into the role. China could also theoretically replace us, but their system of government means that their economy will be unable to mature past a certain point and will revert back to Soviet-style management.
At which point the US.gov brings in a bunch of troops and sits on the aliens so their scientists can get a crack at it. Cause you know that would happen. And if we didn't, the Brits/Russians/Chinese et al certainly would.
Are you kidding? The US just dropped 3 billion on that stupid cash for clunkers program. They would drop at least a couple hundred million a year annually on research. More probably billions.
Hard Sci-fi? Magic mutagenic spaceship fuel that doesn't kill the person it mutates? And causes the mutation in a way specific to the plot? Aliens looking for fuel that neither land in either the most desolate place they can find nor the most technologically advanced but instead land in South Africa? I'm thinking the definition of hard sci-fi is completely different from what you think it is.
A magic fluid that's meant to be SPACESHIP FUEL somehow causes a DNA rewrite on a MASSIVE scale which starts it's mutation away from the point of exposure that neither kills the person involved nor diminishes their rational capacity in any form is more than just a McGuffin, it's a reason to walk out of the movie. This is not in any way a sci-fi movie except for the special effects. It's solely one man's commentary on apartheid. Not to mention the fact that the aliens would not have landed in South fucking Africa.
They need to sub out the ip and force Obsidian and Bioware to work jointly on the game. Those developers, combined with Blizzard's OCD about quality control, and you'd have the best damn RPG ever created
The three most evil people on this planet in the modern age were neither religious, nor incoherent. Oddly enough, 2 of the three were asian, and one was eastern european. Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, and Iosef Vissarionovich Stalin were much more evil than Hitler ever aspired to. At least Hitler had the excuse of being bugfuck crazy beyond the simple paranoia Stalin had.
Disproportionate to the crime? The psychological after-effects of rape REGULARLY last throughout the victim's life. In some cases it causes them to lose the ability to form intimate relationships completely, although this is relatively rare. As far as I'm concerned non-statutory rapists caught on video should be put to death and others convicted solely on testimony and other evidence merely imprisoned for life or 50 years, whichever is shorter.
Actually, There were plenty of non-RP supporters who said this was going to happen. Like every frigging non-progressive who's ever lived in the greater chicagoland area who's even remotely paid attention to the politics here.
A.) Certainly a possibility that it would. Everything the government does is one more thing the market must take into account. This means at the least that the government constantly meddling will constantly delay the final market action. Depending on the actions actually taken, it can and has caused major instability and depression in the market.
B.) Bush tried on multiple occasions to lance the housing bubble. The primary deniers of the reform were solidly democrat, admittedly backed by quite a few republicans(many of whom, oddly enough, have been among those to regularly "cross the line" lately in their voting patterns.)
C.) Here's where there's a loud noise coming out your ass. To say there is little to no oversight on the banks is to say because not all prisoners are in the Hannibal Lecter getup the penitentiary system is too lenient. Yes, standards were relaxed, but the only reason it was a problem was because OTHER.gov regulation gave birth to the problem in the first place.
D.)GP is actually wrong here, as the Fed, theoretically autonomous from the cabinet, tends to take it's overall direction from the president. If the presidency were to show disapproval, the fed would surely slow down it's money printing.
The rest of your post is largely just partisan arguing over opinion and not fact, thereby not important.
The difference is she could not have realistically expected any backlash within the system. Whereas our system is designed to allow said backlash, and these people still pull this bullshit.
Very occasionally you'd get a claim of accountability, but they mainly restricted it to one or two issues. Never seen any other claims of openness though.
The funny thing is, if you replace the word election with primaries, while the numbers are off, they are not off by an overwhelming amount and the article remains correct.
Irony requires an unexpected element. Unless you're extremely naive about the human condition, the fact that most people don't know what their government is actually defined as is unsurprising.
? When did I blame the workers. Blaming the workers and blaming the unions are two entirely different actions. Now, the workers are somewhat complicit, but the autoworkers union has long since ceased to be a democratic organization. It's chicago politics writ to business. The people who actually want to work are certainly not going to be introduced to any levers of power, and because unions are allowed by law in certain states to force membership, that will never change.

No girl and a distinct lack of cat. Not a rip-off.
I was slightly confused by that. They more or less ignore any laws we have in place, but they pay attention to a license to BREED? Seriously WTF?
Hey, those white jeans acted superbly. They managed to keep their neon white color throughout an entire war without attracting a speck of dirt..
And yet, given the test of history, an amoral corporation is much less plausible than an amoral GOVERNMENT.

Just because both A and B fall under category D does not mean they are subject to the same standards in all other things
