No, but Sarkozy's hand-picked finance minister and American favorite Christine Lagarde was just named head of the IMF. It seems that her successor, who was critical of the value of the U.S. dollar and pulling ahead of the polls in the French election, suddenly decided to take up a new career in sexual assault at a New York hotel. How fortunate for her.
No worries. The U.S. intends to keep Sarkozy and pro-American successors in power from now on. Anyone who challenges them will suddenly decide to become a rapist or child molester, or whatever shit is needed to get them out of the way.

And when was the last time anyone referred to a Nintendo game as "cutting edge"? "Goldeneye" maybe?
Sure, the motion controls on the Wii were a cute gimmick. But how many Wii's were still in use after the initial "neato!" gloss wore off? Mine has been gathering dust in a closet for over two years now.
PETA and the radical fringe of the animal activists movements seem oblivious to the fact that humans and domesticated pets established a symbiotic relationship long before we humans even had written language.
Like all Japanese developers, they've been lagging behind for years. This is a studio that stubbornly holds onto every outdated control scheme and cliched convention on the market. Why should it surprise anyone that they would be leading the charge in actually taking a step BACKWARDS in game design? I'm just surprised that they don't still implement "What is the 6th word in the second paragraph of page 36 of the game manual?" copy-protection and 16-bit graphics.
The Han Solo books were the only ones I liked (maybe it was because I was a kid when I read them). Every one that I've tried to read since just seemed silly and juvenile to me. One had snakes that could block the Force. That all had carbon-copy bad guys with those stupid, over-the-top Lucas-esque names like "Darth Evilus," "Darth Nastious," and shit like that. The movies were hokey enough without dumbing them down even more.
They sent in teams last year to both cities, but they quickly went insane from having to listen to all the hippies telling them about their damn urban chicken coops. Several of them never really recovered (one still pisses himself when he hears the word "composting"). They felt it was just safer for everyone to just forgo them this year.
My personal favorite Apple cultist argument is when they remove a feature. Whenever they do this and people complain, the cultists inevitably excuse it by saying "I'm sure they'll put it back in later."
No, it's just that I'm tired of the hypocrites calling on everyone ELSE to sacrifice. My power bill averages $100 or less a month and I drive a little fuel-efficient car just a few miles a week. Where does some environmentalist get off asking the government to FORCE me to sacrifice more of what little I use, when my environmental impact is already a fraction of the average citizen's (much less that of someone like Al Gore, with his $10,000 power bills and fleet of SUV's)? Shouldn't that be MY decision?

Well, now that we have some shelter, all we need to live there is oxygen, water, atmospheric pressure, and food.
Yeah, but you can use it to burn ants! Isn't that cool?!?

I could get behind that.

On the upside, ass-slaves will still be legal.

They are the original fast food.
Well, I guess we finally know what Taco Bell is putting in that beefy burrito.
It's 4*Pi, which makes it TWICE as kick-ass as Tau!
I can see Russia from my house!
We're well aware of how you feel, Scott. But you're a dick.
Just buy one from the little mushroom people of Nova Scotia, as is traditional.

It makes perfect sense when you realize that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were also brother and sister, and that Tatooine is a VERY lonely place.

I saw this same argument above and I don't understand it. What does offline training have to do with whether it can be free to play or not?

If Steve says we don't need those features, then we don't need those features.
No, for Apple, simplicity is an excuse

My parents kept making typos, so I ripped off all the keys on their keyboard. Problem solved!
