I wouldnt say it benefits criminals disproportionatly over innocent people. iits just that the cops dont usually go rounding up innocent people because of the laws. if the laws were not there, it would be more like in other countries where they can round you up with no cause. so while visibly it seems like it protects criminals more so than innocent people, in fact it is protecting america.
oh it does work. but you have to stick to your guns. they will keep pressing to search, they will lie to you, but you must stand firm and keep saying i do not consent to a search. if they start searching let them know you did not consent and you will have your lawyer contact them shortly.
when i was younger (yeah laugh about my handle) i got harassed often. and only one time did the police try and push their luck with me, that was until they saw my PBA card and knew that i do know my rights and i would have my uncle (sgt in the dept) contact them and ream them out if they continued to harass me
true, but thats still buying a new game for the system in my eyes, you cant play the copy you already own
on that note, when you buy software they use they excuse that you are buying a license to play the game, therefore if I own a copy of mario brothers 3 for the NES, by the way they try and "sell" us games now, i should be able to download the copy for free legally, i have the "license"
Thank you for the information. I can see why backwards compatibility might be more important when it comes to handheld consoles which I simply was not thinking about when I posted. No one wants to carry around 10 devices with them. but for a home console, i personally just dont see a need or have a want for backwards compatibility. but thats just me
for the longest time xbox live was hands above the playstation network and wiichannel. that has changed over they years but for under 50 bucks a year (coupon codes are or were easy to get) i didnt find it to be unreasonable. The new stuff with this new console is a total deal breaker however.
to be fair, people are not "buying windows 8" they are buying new PCs and laptops that happen to have windows 8 on them. the avg user still does not know he has choices and they just buy the new shiney and leave it stock
I also will not be buying one, however I am not sure about the issue with backwards compatibility. Could you play a NES game on SNES? genisis game on saturn? a good portion of my gaming life has not been backwards compatible and im ok with that. if i have games for a system theres a high chance that I have said system. i personally dont mind having multiple systems set up, in fact i quite enjoy it. I can deal with internet checks on steam but there is no way in hell i will stand for it on a console even if i do enjoy most of the other functions. hardware wise i was really looking forward to this. I guess I will have to wait for someone to hack the systems and disable the phone home mechanism before i even consider it
I dont think you know what "correctly" means. The word you were looking for was ASSUMED.
To you it might be the correct thing to do, to me it is uncalled for. The facts are out there. the IRS ADMITTED to targeting the groups wrongly. how can you with a straight face say that what the IRS did was right when even the IRS says what they did was wrong?
The person responsible is the one doing these things.
for example, if i inherit a store from someone that is known to be horrible, out dated food on the shelves, rats in the basement. And I continue to do things the same way is it still the previous owners fault? of course not! I COULD have done things differently. but didnt.
he may not have started any wars in the same vein as iraq and afghanistan. but he is still at it, and putting us in the middle of civil wars all over the middle east and africa.... yeah thats SOO much better.
and in the same time doing EXACTLY the opposite of what he promised when he asked for america to vote for him. "most transparent admin in history if you elect me".... yeah, my ass
you are forgetting that the tea party has been silenced by the IRS... I wouldnt call myself a member by any means but i am on their side most of the time. There is zero excuse for this.

personal anecdotes are personal. do you have any numbers to back that windows 8 retail is flying off the shelves??
i dont recall the promise but that does change it from an annoyance to an arguing point to me

true, one could argue that not allowing a search is in fact avoiding self incrimination as well, but it is more fittingly a 4th amendment issue

while that is true, i was more specifically speaking about the ability baked right into the console. not an after market addon

at to your P.P.S - just because we only know about the metadata because of a leak.. do you honestly believe it doesnt go deeper than that?
those who give of freedom for temporary security will get neither... dont forget that
it is already there in the majority of modern cars, they dont need the cell phone data as well
On top of that, isnt blocking a cell signal illegal??

you dont have any idea what they were doing with their money because they never got the status they were looking for.....

so just because a group has the word "patriot" in it, it means that they are trying to break the law? If people truly believe that its a damn shame.

I didnt vote for either as well
not all of them, I hated bush as a president but obama is almost making him likable.
and in the same time doing EXACTLY the opposite of what he promised when he asked for america to vote for him. "most transparent admin in history if you elect me".... yeah, my ass
uhh did you forget about the dotcom bubble burst? he sure as hell did get in going into a recession.

its ok, if he deletes the text it will still be available to him apparently!
