The Libertarians have to stop with the open border stuff, though. Yes, immigration policy needs to be reworked from top to bottom, but wide open borders is way into woo-land. They also need to recognize that getting to a smaller more focused government is not going to happen overnight.
For me it depends on why they disagree. Christopher Hitchens was a card carrying socialist, which I am definitely not (for the most part), but I had a lot of respect for the guy and enjoyed hearing his POV on things. On the other hand if someone starts parroting some Party line bullshit at me simply because they are circling the wagons against a new idea, they can get bent.
I don't get it myself. I switch between dual analog and mouse/keyboard constantly. Each have their advantages, but for a single player open world game like Skyrim I tend to like the dual sticks.
The console controllers could use more buttons, though... maybe a row of 10 up top like function keys on a keyboard, or build the little keyboard that you can currently plug into an XBox controller into it from the launch so developers will use it for stuff. Make it slide out or something.
It was that way back in the late 80s. My EE degree took 5 years because the first two semesters was "Class full! Take a hike!" for basic stuff that was pre-requisites for dozens of other courses. Lots of general ed classes that first year. Took a journalism class and learned all I needed to know about journalism majors. The suckfest that is the news media is no mystery to me. The class on comedy was fun, though. We actually went out to stand up shows a few times for extracurricular activity.
Any game doing that is a no go for me now. My brand new, shrink wrapped Saints Row III copy did not have the online pass in the box, and no one, not Volition nor the distributor, would give me a freaking time of day when I tried to get one.
Eh, I found the opposite. I had one graduate level engineering class where the professor insisted we get a book that had to be ordered overseas from the UK. High cost book plus a criminal shipping fee. The WWW hadn't really gotten started yet (I'm pathetically old), so I was making expensive phone calls to get the thing, had to arrange a money order, etc. Just an all around pain in the ass.
The professor never cracked open the book during the class or referred to it once.
I filed a complaint with the college which shall go unnamed *cough*USC*cough*, but no one gave a shit. Filed twice. Never heard back.
Under what conditions? I've poked around a lot but I can't find evidence thy tossed their car into the conditions I see on my daily commute.
I love tech, but this utter lack skepticism some people have here is really sad. One guy above guarantees any accident between an auto car and human controlled car is "99%" the human's fault. How does someone even make that claim outside some pseudo religious context?
And if you dare raise any question at all, you're called a Luddite, or it's explained how asking prudent questions would have kept men from landing on the moon, or other hyperbolic bullshit he geekverse can't seem to he'd itself of.
Dude has a point. I recall Jay Leno quipping about "Twisted Sister on CD" when that format was relatively new. He wondered if there was some fine aural nuance he was missing in other formats.
Well, yeah, that was the main two arguments back in the day. [1] They can't form in the first place or [2] if formed, they'd eventually be ejected. Don't recall anyone floating the capture after the fact theory. Not sure if rogue planets were considered a thing yet.

It's rated +5 at the moment. Ah, obviously the forum spies are using reverse psychology! Woooooooo!

I dunno... kind of defeats one point of a console from a developers POV where you can develop for a common, consistent hardware base.
Meh. I game on PCs and consoles like all *real* gamers do. :-D

How about the incentive to not be a dick?
Oh, wait... humans. Right. Never mind.

But, hey, anecdotes.
His name -- I still can hardly belive it: Giuseppe Pescatore Puzzolo.
That loser? Low level spark. He was taken out by Tarkus Heterodyne during the Battle Of The Crimson Clanks near Sturmhalten in 1840.
Slashdot. Ask a fair question of tech, get modded down. Yeah, it's not form of religion.

More like Piet Mondrian.

3 years, at 52 weeks per year, is 156 weeks.
o.O Mother of god... are you a wizard? How did you do that?
Hey mods? You keep using Troll, and I do not think you know what it means.
So questioning anything claiming to be a scientific study on any grounds whatsoever is trolling. Gotcha.
Eh... with no other data, I could see that going either way. Same with men.
The investigators analyzed a group of 345 people -193 women and 152 men.
Wow, they got that result even though they analyzed only negative women.
After controlling for various factors, ranging from age and education to income
In other words, after ignoring the 9000 other variables that lead to happiness or lack thereof...
Anyone have a link to the actual numbers so we can see if they are finding trends in data noise or not?
And I want a pony. A pink one with a party cannon.
But as a wise, learned man once said, "You can't always get what you want."
So they just better vent their frustration, or they're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse.

Mother of God, what have I pun- er... done?
Just engaging in some punditry.
Yeah, people who use them should be punished. Severely. I'm talking use a pun go to jail level of enforcement.
Speaks to the fact that not everyone is a Star Wars nerd? *shrug* That series lost real relevance and died long, long ago even before the prequels.
I just like the fact that everyone who said "Derp! Binaries can't have teh planetses!" over the years are all owned now. Science!
