Yea it's *so* funny that their English isn't too good.
How is your Spanish? Or German? Or French? Or even English?
Yea. Thought so.
My Spanish, French, & German suck just as bad & it would have been just as funny if the shoe was on the other foot, though I suppose if the shoe was on the other foot it would still be the same person meaning we're back to square one, but that's beside the point.
The point is it would have been just as funny if it was any other language & the post was made in jest to make a group of people laugh. However your post was mean spirited and meant to make a single person feel bad.
If you were Zelda and had a choice between Gannon who is about to rule up in this bitch, or Link who is some bum who lives with his dad in a little shack and cuts grass with a fucking sword for a few bucks here and there, wouldn't you make up some crazy story about being kidnapped to explain to Link what you were doing with Gannon so you could let him down easy ?
Shit, the whole triforce bit was just to get Link to stay busy & quit cock-blockin long enough for a bitch to get her swerve on.
Actually I think it's supposed to be that Mario teaches you how to get into the Princesses' pants by dusting yourself off and trying again after rejection.
But hey, if it's Mario and plumbers crack that turns you on this is America afterall. Hell, there's probably a few of us here who would pay top dollar to see Yoshi laying the wood to the Princess donkey show style while Toadstool watches and jerks Luigi off with his feet in the corner.
Let's assume a 3.5 inch (4 in x 1 in x 5.75 in) form factor, times 300 drives.
So if we stand them on their end side-by-side in a square we would have an area roughly 3 feet by 4 feet to over-estimate.
There's got to be a ton of ways to crush a 3ft x 4ft x 0.5 ft block of harddrives enough to shatter the disks. I'm sure it would be more effective to send someone out with a bunch of drives & some cash to the local recycling plant, or junk yard, or even a store with a garbage crusher and destroy the drives.
Doing it that way also removes the risk of specialists getting their hands on drives and a rogue expert saving any data before actually destroying the drives.
Only a fool would demonstrate how they could do this and ruin any chances of people becomming comfortable with zeroing drives for a mere $60 hard drive and $40 cash.
I think a lot of people don't read the EULA because they know it's all stuff to protect the company producing it & if there ever were something absurd in it, as was the case with the AT&T arbitration clause, justice will ultimately prevail.
So why don't we just determine a set of things that taxes will always cover, like health care & recreational parks, then get rid of taxes, print the money to pay for gevernment sponsored stuff, and only have the best and brightest people working in the government ?
Maybe in the future the genetical advances can make an auto-regenerative tree. All the houses will have nano-machines and will have solar panels, water filters...
Everybody is thinking about natural, normal trees (that last a longer to grow). I'm thinking of "artificial", geneticaly manipulated and technologicaly altered trees.
Humans can do it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to determine what it is about the trees that is resistant to hurricanes and mimicking that with artificial products that aren't so vulnerable to the other elements in the first place ?
We already use "hurricane straps" connected to stakes in the ground here in Florida to help with hurricanes & they're quite effective. This tree stuff could be used to improve upon that idea.
What are traditionally built houses made out of ? Wood.
What is wood made out of ? Trees.
What do termites eat ? Wood.
How do you get rid of termites ? Poison.
What does poison do to living things ? Kills them.
What is a tree ? A living thing.
What happens to old limbs and roots of trees ? they rot.
How do I replace a rotted window sill, or roof branch ?
How do I get rid of pests that take up residence in my tree with me ?
I can repair and reconfigure a traditionally built home, I can't reconfigure the tree once it's grown & repairing it is questionable.
It's a really cool idea, but I don't think it's practical. It's kinda like putting all of your eggs in one basket.

So the games creator uses EA as a publisher because he likes to watch the people who play the game get screwed over, is that it ?
Come on, if you kill the distribution channels how are you supposed to get the game ?
If you don't have muscle men making sure the game creators get paid, you're not going to have any good game creators left after awhile.
Oh yeah and by the way, ^THAT^ is "flamebait". :)

So you, Anonymous Coward, can go fuck yourself.
Quit 'yer bitchin. By the time you burn through those 3 installs the game will be on sale for $9.99 at Walmart just like every other game.

I can't believe Link keeps falling for that shit.

I've got a better idea.
Lay pipelines from the ocean leading to the desert and spray saltwater over the desert & let nature do the rest of the work.

Flamebait ?!
Come on, that was funny !
Hi friend
we are having nuclears for the cheapest prices
please telling us number of many you like
warm regards,

Something like that actually exists ?
What kind of idiot would hire a "hard drive shredding company" ?
I'd find a reason to fire anyone who did that, that's just a waste of money when you consider how simple it is to destroy a drive.
Only a fool would demonstrate how they could do this and ruin any chances of people becomming comfortable with zeroing drives for a mere $60 hard drive and $40 cash.
Are these guys smoking crack ?
Wait a second, does this mean hydrogen cars and their water vapor exaust would actually make things worse ?
I think a lot of people don't read the EULA because they know it's all stuff to protect the company producing it & if there ever were something absurd in it, as was the case with the AT&T arbitration clause, justice will ultimately prevail.
Nope.
You guys just don't get it.
You assume frivolous things would be handled by government and included in the debt.
I'm talking about granting everyone certain things & leaving the rest up to capitalisim.
!!!
You're a fucking genius.
I guess that makes sense, I hear a lack of blood flow can really screw with your vision.
So why don't we just determine a set of things that taxes will always cover, like health care & recreational parks, then get rid of taxes, print the money to pay for gevernment sponsored stuff, and only have the best and brightest people working in the government ?
The Vagina is indeed a powerfull being.
I hope you don't wear glasses.

Surely you've seen dead parts of what are otherwise living trees on the ground next to them, right ?
Trees aren't invincible, parts of them eventually die and rot. what happens when that part is an essentual part of my house, how do I repair it ?
