The porn industry is truly amazing in many rights in regards to the way it's content is protected. It's almost a self-policing industry. Everybody pretty much know's who's is what in regards to content, especially niche content(insert_niche_here). The air is thin at the top. Don't be surprised to see "Barry the one-legged albanian pimp" show up at your door with something semi-automatic(although concealed) if you poach his content; seriously.
For the bit of, er, *things* I have, umm *archived*(yeh, archived) I don't feel like I have stolen anything. These people have been robbing everyone including themselves and those that share their *ideals* for a loonnnngggg time. It's funny, nobody ever talks about the people within those industries that have short-changed other artists; and not just the big-name headliner, but the lighting man or sound man, the hairstylist or caterer. In fact I don't even THINK the entertainment industry can be profitable without robbing someone or a lot of someone's. I dare you to ask for a refund after a sucky flick, or after the album you just dropped $20+ on sucks. Although on that same hand, different side, I dare you work on a sound or lighting gig and come with some, "Where's my check?!", or "How come the last check bounced?!", or my favorite(the one I know the best)"Nah, sorry, the check didn't come in yet...". I promise you that you will find a reaction that feels nothing less than the kiss of death. The consumer get's screwed with over-hyped, bad content, sure; but the guys that have to feed families and work on a contract to contract basis are at the mercy of the content provider(s). The industry has created an illegal science of robbing those that help them the most.
And the only thing that is/can be said is "That's show-business."

Pick the correct sarcastic, metaphorical comparison.
The choice's are:
(a) -- "Trying to compare a city block to an interstate highway..."
(b) -- "1ft to 1 mile"
(c) -- "The high school geek to elderly scholar"
(d) -- "A kitchen sink to a backyard inground pool"
(e) -- "A sandbox to a beach"
1st prize is this lovely kenmore washer and dryer!
I may *want* to be data-mined...think about the promise of a genuine advancement in online-speed-dating. Or maybe they could start a service that datea-mines, hmm, the possibilities. Although, does that include or not include those my tier?
I don't date anyone outside my tier; there's principalities.
If you have a problem with something like killing a creature before you *find out* that the creature is quest related, go into console(~key) then type "help" and it will show you a list of commands. The command to use in this case would be "spawn(creature_id)"
Problem solved, resume saving Tamriel, the end.
You get what you pay for.
In other countries they have a certain *way* of dealing with this stuff; third world countries in particular...
but here...we vote to pay the salaries of people that lie to us and create a detriment in rights and privelleges that we have enjoyed and expanded on for decades. And then we come to places like here in an attempt to find perspective that we have always had. Almost everybody knows what has to be done, but we won't do it because it's easier to brew contempt, than to nullify what it is spawns that contempt. The land of the 4x4 philosopher.

Actually, we didn't get involved with WW2 officially until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
Also, on a more technical note; IBM was selling equipment to the Germans before PH so that they could more efficiently calculate how best to *ethnically cleanse* their country, and weapons logistics.
These guys are TRUE patriots. They at least have the guts to question the status quo and actively practice their philosophy(bringing joy to the masses)It's impossible for me to think that these guys didn't see it coming and am very sure they have made provisions for a situation like this...All the cops want is the logs and I highly doubt they are stored on-site, in fact just on the measure of volume and efficiency it wouldn't make sense to dump that stuff locally. I also smell a conspiracy with the stench of something much more insidious. Let's *just say* that these guys are/were successful with starting a political party that was recognized by a government, any government, do you know how dangerous that is to the status quo? Others would eventually notice, and possibly follow.
I think this could actually be a good thing, think about the attention they drew with this thing...
All the same, Sony and MS have been pulling this shit for years and they move units(although how profitable...) Let's see how well it works for Nintendo, they've been the only one that's been straightforward(read: honest)with their work and what to expect from it since day one. In my mind it can only run BETTER than what they showed at E3 and present their customers with a pleasant surprise in terms of raw power and functionality. As the saying goes, it's what you DON'T see that can hurt you.
I don't even know where to begin.
I am no engineer or scientist, but do you need to be to see what is happening here? They are lying to us. For those of you that have seen this tape, does it strike you odd that the frames that *would* show any actual collision are missing?! Does it strike you as odd that the brain(pentagon)of any strategic operation this country carries out militarily HAS ONLY 1 CAMERA AT THE ENTRANCE?!! And that camera will not show point of impact. I have an even better question...how do you fit a plane that is 231.5ft long with a 211ft wing span into a hole that is 70+ft wide with a depth of impact that is 24ft deep? Or how do you have a plane that is fully fueled before it exploded NOT EVEN SINGE A BOOK OR THE SHELF IT IS SITTING ON?! You don't, they're lying, and we are letting them do it. A lot of you guys are smarter than me, do the math...
It would be cool, everybody can get together on an album release day for a HUGE artist and download the album collectively, only to summarily delete it after completion. Imagine if you got 200,000 people together for it...then the **AA's can see exactly how much they are losing, due to their ornery and malicious tactics. And afterwards we can throw a rave to celebrate:D the fact that WE control "what's hot and what's not" and that WE will no longer tip-toe around criminal orginizations that seek to control the way that we ingest media, and what media it is that we choose to ingest.
No, I'm merely stating that others do have this issue, and quite frankly that there are enough people with this problem for it to warrant some level of attention...if not sentiment, in the context of this discussion.
I'm not bashing this game in any way,shape, or form(I love it)but all the same it is not without its host of issues, performance and gameplay wise(crashes and level up schema, maybe more)for Xbox users getting dirty disk errors, that is a slap in the face to them. For PC users and the CTD issues,etc. it is a slap in the face to them as well. Essentially some, if not most of these issues(for PC)can be solved with some.INI editing, but this is NOT the case for Xbox users. And then, after 2wks retail to attempt to sell horse armor for the price of 2 beers(that I would drink playing Elder Crack)in spite of all I just said, crosses the brink of utter disrespect for customers, fan boys, and even small animals that lurk about randomly.
I have no problem either for pay-to-enhance, but $2?! I mean, 25c yeah sure, but do I also get matching wagon for that armor?
Long and short of it is, if you want to charge even $5-$15 for new areas, expanded quest's, new races, new play mechanics(what does the horse need armor for if there's no horse-mounted combat?)then I'll gladly pay. Although I'm not shorting myself on a 6 pack for 2 skins and a mesh.
Wow.
I wonder how good of a case some of you that so vehemently state points(some empirical) about how pr0n is good, human hard-wirng, and gender differntials to your wives/girlfriends(pet?)if they caught you looking at the pr0n...I would even buy tickets to that shit;D
Quantum leap into the 21st century, never knew you were into 3somes, DP,TP,QP,BDSM,bukkake, or voyeurism?(Google + page preview)you do now!
Even better, now you can be selective in a way that you never could be before the night you met your significant other.
Truth be told the reason that the women that *are* threatened by pr0n is due to the fact that most of the women on these sites look like your next door neighbor, a person you or they may work with, a random pretty passerby, I even dare say a member of either's family. That is most dangerous part of all.
If I were a woman I would find it very difficult to have to measure up to my partner's constantly changing taste's in females, or see him fap to a picture of some chick that looks likes my best friend, mom, or mail-woman...Though all the same, being as the primary demographic here is composed of males; I would think that *I* being a male of course, would find it highly threatening if I knew that my wife/gf was fapping at pictures of a dude that looked rather familiar
(CHARLIE! IS THAT YOU CHARLIE MURPHY?)with a 12'+ "staff of thrusting"...All I'm saying is that we all like/love porn, but if your in a relationship where you do and she doesn't(like porn)or even vice-versa, nothing beats a good conversation about the topic(OF SEX!)while having a drink followed immediately by a trip your local sex shop:D
2c-...nah...this is worth 200c-)
He's using a programmable keyboard that is advertised to optimal for playing WoW, then actually invests some time in learning to use it properly and eventually does, makes some macros to advance his game position which is no different than using an electric shaver versus a straight razor. In fact, Blizzard seems to have a problem with any perspective(s) that don't entirely fit the profile of what kind of users they want or would like to express their opinions, expressions, perceptions, or perspectives. Essentially, they treat their customers no differently than a player treats an NPC, which to me is scary. And furthermore, they seem pretty anxious to play wack the mole on the forums when an "npc" actually reminds them that they are dealing with real people, in a real world, that pay(guess what)REAL money to use the service that they provide.
I think he should sue...;D
This message has a dual meaning:
1. I'm in India and I want you all to know that I like saying things people like to *hear* *here*, although the *here* is relative, so that equals, "I like telling people things they like to *hear* based on their location"
2. If I'm lucky my friends over *here* will *hear* me say things over*here* that they like to(and for the Kenmore washer and dryer set...)*hear*.
I can only imagine the utter chaos that would ensue if the message was delivered 3rd person. It's so easy to trick people, you can almost do it using 1 word metaphoric descriptions.
Bittorrent, ed2k, kazaa, et al. represent the will of a/the people that have been governed by corrupt, hypocritical system that is centered around maximizing profits per individual lifespan; meaning that as long as you are alive you MUST conform to the notion of being SOMEONE's customer i.e. Philip Morris, Exxon, the Bell's,,etc. If you do not subscribe this ideal of existence you are not valued as an active, participant member of society. As dense as we are as consumers, is evenly measured by just how intrinsically inclined we are as individuals(and animals)to preserve our inherent nature. What these institutions do, and have seemingly succeeded in doing, is programming or creating another manifestation of human nature that serves only the institution and not the individual.
This has backfired.
People are waking up from their slumber, slowly my friends, and now after years of being under their submission and just graciously *accepting* what they deem approriate for us to see and hear to provide us with stimuli(and not even good stimuli as of late)Now we as a people collectively will take back what belongs to us rightfully for every bad movie with plastic, lifeless, actors; coupled with equally plastic and lifeless plots and storylines, or every *good* CD that contains 20 tracks and yet only 2 are good, 1 mediocore, and 17 that are absymal. And I say again, the masses will no longer be robbed anymore, lest the theif is willing to be robbed themselves...this is God's will.
2.5 minutes. That's 150 seconds. Try something: Sit there and count off 150 seconds. That's rather a long freakin' time to be waiting for a video to start, no? It takes less time to make a bag of microwave popcorn.
I think there's a conspiracy involving orville reddenbocker, could it be him thats running the show(no pun intended)
Does it really matter?!
If the very same consumer is not savvy enough to care about Rootkit's or their implication's why would they care this? As long as people that bought this/these product(s) are getting 60+ Frames on Battlefield 2, their rights as a consumer come in at a distant 10th on their list of priorities...
People vote and elect officials that agree to marginalize the very same voters civil rights everyday. Now I ask a again, does anyone really think that somebody buys an 1900xt or 7800gtx to primarily watch HD content?! I am positive that the same crowd that is crying foul will find that they are resourceful enough to buy a tuner card or some other intermediate 3rd party device to facilitate HD content.
being an american I naturally and intuitively love sex and violence, GTA or not, that's what I subscribe to and attach meaning(s) to event of either(i.e I get laid for a reason, I kicked his ass for a reason). This country has fostered my perspective to the meanings I attach to these events, because usually after all the bad guys are dead, the good guy's get laid, or at least have a better chance of getting laid. It is this same, very simple, fundamental idea of reward and punishment that has carried this country through a shit load of wars most of which we have arguably won and branded us with an image that the world is envious of(or used to be...)This game embodies the basic principles that most of us practice in our day to day lives. When we nullify something that is bad on our live's, we seek to be rewarded. When we we nullify something that is bad in someone else's life we seek to be rewarded. These ideas can be applied to every spectrum(school, work, personal, hooker, etc.)
