No matter how much you try to rationalize it, the bottom line is that if you download a movie instead of paying for it, you are just cheap
Cheap like the fool who visits the library? Gosh what an idiot! If he thought that a book was worth reading, he should have paid for it like the author intended!
Wait a second, thats ME! It seems like there should be a happy medium here. After all, I pay for HBO and I feel that they deserve it. I downloaded LXG and, though they deserved that as well, I would have risked $3 on that download; sadly there was no one to take my money. The MPAA only wants my money in their approved manner.
What I want is a service where I can download movies for unlimited viewing. I would happily pay for them, but NO ONE is competing in that space for profit.
These people are living my dream and programming kick ass games. I support them in a fiduciary and real way. Fuck the MPAA, fuck the RIAA, but fuck Valve? Nope. No, they are cool. Fuck you and fuck FreeMath too.

I call that day 1991. I really needed a pristine boot environment to play THX Attack Chopper on my 286 20. (that was the only link I could find! what a great game to have rotted off of the internet.)

Surely you can accept that it is has a nonzero chance of being true; after all the military is not infallible. I emphatically agree that whether or not it is true it deserves a complete investigation and public debunking or apology as the case may be. After all, many less plausible theories have been entertained on yours and my dime.
Governments are not worthy of dogma. You really shouldn't trust anyone, and especially if they insist you must.
I stand corrected; your adoption speaks for itself. For what it is worth you have my respect. We will continue to disagree, but je concede you really mean it.
How many babies have you adopted? You seem quite vociferous; I should hope it isn't just blustering.
Lumping gays in with your argument just makes you look like one of those crazy conservatives on the far right. Pick a stance: homosexual people generally do NOT have abortions. Breathe, man.
Even barring all of the perfectly legitimate arguments like "Our government shouldn't issue edicts" and "I like booze on Sunday", you still have the crime angle. Abortions weren't uncommon when they were illegal, just dangerous and of course illicit.
Show me an illegal yet viable market choked off from legitimacy by some nutball trying to legislate morality and I'll raise you 200 thugs profiting on the black market (and the violence and lack of accountability that goes with it).
Ingnorance can be cured. I assure you that there are a great many issues about which you are ignorant, just as there are many things of which I am ingnorant. The "get out of my nation" argument brandished by you and your ilk is just plain silly.
The poke at FNC did not present me as swearing allegiance to CNN or anyone else. I gather my news and formulate my opinions from multiple sources. My favorite sources are the BBC and NPR.
Lastly, I love my nation. If you, Mr. AC, think that your blind devotion to the party line makes my patriotism any less true then I defy you to either
A: Post as an actual person who's outlandish beliefs will further thier "reputation" check my previous posts; my beliefs are evident
I consider your post flamebait, and your arguement trite. There is no reason that dissenting opinions should leave "your" nation; you are being rude and obnoxious. Dissenting opinions are not just allowed but ENCOURAGED in the U.S. of A. At least they used to be. I expect this kind of childish attack on the Fox News Channel, but not from individuals. Excepting slashdot;-)
I just attempted to formatted 64 GB partition I created to satisfy my couriosity. It errored out as "Too big" in the GUI. The error from the shell follows.
C:\>format f:/fs:fat32 The type of the file system is RAW. The new file system is FAT32.
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE F: WILL BE LOST! Proceed with Format (Y/N)? y Verifying 65522M The volume is too big for FAT32.
Well, AC, the point was actually that if the Xbox is beating it, then the PS2 is beating the piss out of it. Here in America, we read left to right, top to bottom.:p

Please give us a source for your information. Frankly I don't believe it. The so called "Attach Rate" is higher for Xbox than for GC, the sales are far higher, so forth. Look up your own source for this: everyone knows it. Given that the user base in the USA is at most 1/6th the base of the PS2, I believe that you are entirely and completely wrong.

It's a very nice writing pen.
The Fisher Space Pen has pressurized ink and is waterproof. You can write upside down and in zero G. You can even write underwater.

Bad ass - thanks for the correction

Nope - only DLP cinema updates twice per frame. False.
Touche. This is the first time my drawl has come into play on the internet. Never browse drunk.

Good point, though I would point out that we already have the infrastructure in place to produce and deploy it.
Bush is importing tons of natural gas. I don't know why, but I assume it was at the behest of his owners.

I mean come on: can a cop really check out those stickers for authenticity while a car is zipping down the HOV lane?
Of course that's EASY for a Mentat to say... :P
The comment was meant to be read in order. My point was that if the lowly xbox is beating it, then the PS2 is surely beating the hell out of it.
