I wonder if it's a regional thing- Korean MMO's are even more grindilicious than American ones (which appear to be slowly moving away from the grind model).
I'd rather not have a capital case- I speculate about such things only out of interest, and not out of advocacy. I abhor the death penalty. Then again, perhaps I see in shades of black and white.
As far as I can tell, despite being as execution-happy as we are, Bush isn't eligible for the death penalty under US law. Can the Hague pass down death sentences?
We shot at him 41 times and hit him 19 times at a range of about fifteen feet, with Diallou doing nothing but crumple to the ground under the hail of gunfire. 19 out of 41.
It's that combination of persistance, psychotic violence, and incomprehensible incompetance that really seems to define America.
The developed nations of Asia and Europe made it a priority to make sure internet access was fast, cheap, and available. We did not, trusting the market to deliver internet in accordance with demand. Which, you know, works, from time to time. Honest.
I take FOSS to be a blanket term used to refer collectively to the classes of things that are Free Software or Open Source Software, since they're similar in several ways and face several of the same issues.
Think of it as the word "cats". A Manx is different from a Burmese, but while they have different individual needs and quirks, they're still similar in a lot of ways.
It's especially galling to be told to read the documentation when, in a lot of cases, the documentation sucks. I've been looking for documentation for cpufreq/cpufreqd for ages in hopes of extending my battery life under Linux, and I can't find jack shit. But I ask anywhere, and it's always "read the docs!" What docs?
Not necessarily. The turn-of-the-century anarchists used the word "propaganda" to refer to their own material, and I'd hardly accuse them of trying to increase government power.
Since the airwaves belong to the people and not to the radio stations, I would prefer that, under the Fairness Doctrine, the then-unpopular liberal shows would also be aired. I understand that this would have been less profitable for the radio stations, and I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks that's relevant to anything, but I think that proper use of public property should be placed above the profitability of private corporations. (If you can't make money by properly using public property, then the solution is not to improperly use public property but to change your business plan, which is flawed.)
I find it interesting that you equate accusing people who've yet to be charged with any crime of being evil terrorists with saying good things about America.
Have you been a fascist prick all your life, or is being a whore for those who'd like to take your rights away a new thing for you?
Be sure all you want, but you're wrong. the Fairness Doctrine was in effect till the Republicans killed it- paving the way for right-wing lunatics like Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage (which sounds better than his real name, Weiner), Sean Hannity, and their ilk. Back in the 90's talk radio was pretty much all hard-right-Republicans, all the time- which the slow rise of the internet and Air America Radio has only begun to offset, and which couldn't have happened with the Fairness Doctrine in place.

I maintain that Namco's unforgivable sin was not releasing a Katamari level editor...

Clearly we aren't, because if we were, there'd be one supplied already.
Woah, was channelling my old econ prof for a moment there.
At what point does a soldier's life suddenly become worth less than your own?
I would say "the moment at which that soldier decides his/her life is worth sacrificing."
...which is why the first thing you should do with a Dell is wipe the HD and install from a non-OEM XP disc.
I'd settle for fully-documented software, which ought to be considered a part of software and not external to it.

Treason is only a captial offence in time of war.

Ah, Perl, the only language that looks the same before and after encryption.

Damn being behind all the other developed nations in services and infrastructure!
Er, I mean, We're number one! We're number one! We're not like all them backwards nations... have I established my American credentials sufficiently?
The Ginternet? That's like the internet with gin, right? 'Cause I have that already.
Who's your ISP? Those guys sound amazing.
...but I can totally see that becoming a status symbol.
That's a great argument. "It's not been a problem for me, therefore it's not a problem for anyone."
I'd recommend you avoid taking Philosophy courses- Logic will kick your ass.

Yeah, those FC3 CDs were really flimsy.

So you chose that particular comment to respond to, but weren't actually responding?
Pull the other one, it's got a motion sensor on it that alerts the CIA.

That depends on how widely the Supreme Court's weakening of the exclusionary doctrine ends up being interpreted.
