Completely agree, it's become this weird fucking fanboy attitude like you are rooting for your favorite sports team that can do no wrong. A two party system is broken at it's core. I can't stand either party, but it's funny how if I post a comment critical of one of the parties it automatically makes me a republican Nazi or a Libtard by half the respondents. They all just assume everyone is part of this sick red/blue liberal/conservative crazy divisiveness that is destroying the country. Sadly the few alternatives ran absolute shit candidates which is just as frustrating. It becomes the lesser of two evils game where everyone loses except the evils.
As the IT manager at a company that has a sister company in China this sucks. As it is they block DropBox, OneDrive, Google, etc. which makes transferring large files a pain in the ass. They are also trying to force everyone to use WeChat which I don't trust at all, so I'm expecting Skype to have even more issues then it does now when using it in China. They really make life hell for IT who have to deal with them and this will be the icing on the cake. I don't understand how they intend to do business globally if they keep making it so difficult to deal with all the restrictions.
I am really hoping this will be good as a star wars fan and an Ex-Wow addict. However, and take this with the requisite grain of salt, I've heard from two different people working on this project that it's got alot of issues and they don't have alot of hope it will turn out great. They complain there is way too much focus on things like voice acting for every single character and not enough on gameplay and combat. It's supposedly not even in alpha testing internally so I doubt we'll see it this year, unless they rush it which I really hope they don't
Sorry I don't see how more STEM students in the U.S. could possibly drive down salary more then thousands of offshored people working for a fraction of the salary as someone in the US. Jut look at U.S. Lawyers to see that over abundance of students doesn't mean lower salaries if they are all in the U.S..
Well they wouldn't have a lot of leeway to rewrite the ending I would think, so nothing to worry about there. Also alot of people compared the endings to those two epic series. While I was really disappointed in the ending of Lost, I have to adminit they kept me riveted every week for 6 years and that says something.
Ugh, when JJ Abrams and the Lost writters were attached to this I had hope that they could actually do this thing justice. While Ron Howard is alright, really not overly impressed with him, akiva goldsman IS HORRIBLE. The guy completely sucks and guarantees this is going to be an abomination. Such a shame too because the book are amazing. As for the Movie to TV split, very interesting way to come at it, but only if the tv show is on HBO, wattered down regular tv is not going to cut it.
Sadly this is one of the biggest problems with out country today. The biggest bane to Capitalism is a monopoly. And unfortunately almost every major product we buy be it power, automobiles, computers, food, media, etc. has a group of three or four huge companies that completely control that market. They get together and price fix, control the market, and even control the laws and regulations that are supposed to keep them in check. These types of collusion are no good except for the people at the top of these companies and their stock holders.
This guy was a scientist who knew better. I agree lots of stupid teenage girls might go this way, but it makes no sense that someone trained in the field would do himself in like this.
No it's not the full reason behind it, but it was sent to the media and key democrats who might have opposed the Patriot act. Enough to scare anyone who was going to vote no, and if not scare at least errode their position that it's not needed. This stinks to high heaven of a cover up.
Exactly. These were used on us by our own military to push through the Patriot act. That poor guy was used as the scape goat. I know people love to call these conspiracy theorists a bunch of wackjobs but it seems more and more like we are the idiots for sticking our head in the sands while this goes on all around us.
You are missing the point. I remember seeing the promos Fox ran for it and thinking what the hell is this crap, even though I love Sci-Fi. It wasn't till it was cancelled I watched it and fell in love with it. They put it on Friday nights, where alot of the younger crowd that would have been into it are out. What's worse is from what I heard they showed it out of order, and the order they showed it in made no sense. No wonder it didn't catch on. It's the same shit they did with Futurama, putting it on at 7:30 on Sunday and then premepting it because of football games or whatever constantly.
Every Sci-Fi geek I know liked the film, non-geeks hated it. I'm not saying we loved it, but for the time it was different and interesting. So I really don't think he's overstating the popularity for it's market base. For many people they had not even heard of Dune before the movie, and while the books are much better I never would have read them without the Lynch version.
It sucks out on Long Island too! Hope they don't just focus on Manhattan. I mean it's ridiculous how bad AT&T service is in all facets. Sorely tempted to trade my beloved Iphone for a Nexus. I get so mad everytime I see what's his face from Old School talking about how fast their network is. Also so what if it's faster, you don't get any coverage anywhere! I mean really, I could have the fastest race car in the world, but if I can only drive it up and down my drive way it's pointless!
Maybe because it's a rip off, double the price of a DVD and costs almost the same to manufacture. If was just slightly more I might be interested, but as of now I would feel like they are bending me over every time I bought one. Besides everything will be digital soon enough, why spend thousands to replace my DVD collection when this will be obsolete soon.
Well, he (actually not him, the graphics effects people) did make it very pretty, but my overall level of excitement from the movie is pretty low. There was a lot of parts that just really dragged on. That's because you have no attention span, a common problem amongst today's youth. Try some Ritalin then go read War and Peace.
I met an Autism specialist who works for the school districts here in NY. She had some very interesting things to say about the increased rates. She said Autism wasn't increasing, just more children are being labeled Autistic. This is because children labeled autistic get all kinds of extra aid from the government that children who are just deemed learning disabled or have psychological problems don't get. So parents with mentally disabled children are increasingly encouraged to have their child autistic. It made sense to me, instead of some bogey man vaccine.
As an old school fan of Shadow Run, it really wasn't a train wreck. Is it what most people were expecting, absolutely not. I wouldn't call it a Shadow Run game as much as calling it a game with a Shadow Run theme. For a team centered FPS, it was actually a lot of fun. If the company didn't fall apart as it was being released, with a few quality updates it could have been really good in fact. I think a lot of the hating on it was because it wasn't an RPG.
"You're missing the point. This is the USA, WE MAKE the laws. The concept of liberty? Where was the liberty of those who were violently violated? Violent sex offenders deserve no liberty, as they have robbed another person of it."
Lol, what version of the US are you living in? In the USA I live in, big business and special interest groups make the laws by buying politicians. Unless your the head of one of those two groups, then I guess we can apply. Also the problem with continuing to pummel these offenders into the ground is that it leaves them with nothing to lose by doing it again. That and I've seen more then once in my life people wrongly accused of Rape by a spurned party, and they were headed to jail and that list but the accuser finally came clean in the end. The accuser just as easily could have kept their mouths shut. Life isn't as black and white as you are making it out to be.
Trust me no one has ever worked for a company like this. I'm the Business Applications Manager, I run a Peoplesoft ERP system for a global manufacturing company. Even managers have to punch in and out, and they've also just banned music and breaks.
I've already run into this issue with my Xbox360 profile. Several coworkers and I were all on each others friends list to play Gears of War against each other. Then my boss joined us which was fine. Then a month after that I get a friend request from the CEO of the company. At first I thought nothing of it, until the CEO commented on how later I was up on the 360 a few nights ago and how I was 10 minutes late the next day. Now I have two accounts, but what sucks is all my achievements, unlocked content, etc are on the original account.
Also I've given up my myspace account(didn't use it much to begin with) because some stalker chick at work kept sending me friend requests and making comments about my profile and pictures. I really don't think this social networking stuff is for the better.
This is not true. Someone downloading the latest White Stripes album is not going to cause performance problems for the whole rest of the network. It's easy enough to cap someone's bandwidth as well then actually shape their packets.
What good are morals if you drop them at the slightest inconvenience. You sir are one of the mindless sheep that America is so proudly raising these days.
For all those acting like this is something new, it's not. I remember 10 years ago working at a Comp USA, and the first thing the techs would do when getting the computer is search media to see what goodies the person had on it. Also just a note, but I worked in returns and wasn't part of this besides every now and then being called over when they found something really good. Just make sure you encrypt your personal stuff before you bring it to anyone to fix it. Or better yet learn to fix it yourself, because desktop support, especially these days is a snap.

Hiding the fact that they've been planning the current economic collapse with the Fed for years in order to rule the World, Duh!

Dunk'n Donuts! They are obviously just a front for Al-Qaeda with Rachel Ray as the master mind, I mean did you see that scarf!
