When there are rules against drinking and you show up to a public school drunk or hungover its going to get back to your parents very quickly once the teacher notices. Then the school rules pop up.
If the drinking age was 18 or there was no drinking age you would have kids who come to school drunk. Then despite being very pissed with their little angel, parents would argue that the school cannot kick them out because it legal for them to drink. It will happen, and it would stop after a few years but it would be annoying before a legal precedent was set.
I'm going to make a sweeping generalization, but school was unpleasant enough with sober idiots. Expecting your average highschool senior to exercise moderation.... well. good luck with that. Plus the fact that schools want kids to graduate. Once they are in college them fact they pay money to go to school offers a tiny incentive.
I'm a troll for trying to point out a fact about the consoles. They put out a lot of heat and they are high power devices. Jesus what the fuck is wrong with this community. I'm never this much of an asshole when i have mod points.
So what happens when your entertainment center catches fire from the heat of running 4 ps3s. What do you tell your power company when the meter is worn out.
(For the on guy who will take this wrong. Im joking. The same thing would happen with 4 360's its a joke)
Oh but your a selfish jerk. You obviously don care about [insert group/cause of choice here]. You disgust me because [insert preferred emotion based reasons], you need to think about someone but yourself.
Last time I checked Game politics had plenty of people commenting without the massive influx of morons then inevitably occurs when you get a slashdot story. I'm also pretty sure that GP the guy who runs the blog didn't submit the article. Considering thats not how he usually submits them to slashdot.
He also gets nothing from extra traffic, there is no advertising on his site. It was most likely one of the readers that submitted it.
Best of both worlds. I can get a BS in "computational media" and some extra stuff then stay for another 5 semesters and have a MS in CompSci. I can try the games industry and if it proves I'm not cut out for it or I don't enjoy it as much as I think I will I can go somewhere outside the industry and get a job that will do me well.
I was making a point about building a white box book, its not easy and its not something everyone can do. I have a laptop from System76. Got it because the wirelss drivers worked after struggling to get an old gateway to work with ubuntu.
There is a small amount of middle ground. A show of force and unity against a group that protects the government(the military) and you hope like hell that the majority of the soldiers find the prospect of shooting fellow citizens so distasteful that they refuse to follow orders or if your lucky significant parts of the military structure command structure join said rebellion because they realize that the government no longer follows that which they swore loyalty to. You still have to deal with the inevitable "by the grace of the government i will kill you" loyalists. In many countries this tends to be the "elite" soldiers, though in some they would be the first to ask "why am i fighting that which i swore to protect?"
Until someone realizes that sometimes you have to get violent and you need alot of people who are willing to get violent. We are stuck. Part of it is that they bring up children and tell them that democracy and votes are the only answer to a problem. They never say that sometimes to remove something so entrenched you have to get violent you have to fight and some times people have to die in the process. You have to accept that somethings are worth fighting and even dieing for. The US was to an extent created by that idea, yet we refuse to teach an idea like that to our nations youth. It almost like were afraid that they might find something that means that enough to them.
When was the last violent democratic revolution? There has been a few socialist and communist ones but I can't for the life of me name a democratic one.
Except most of my studying comes from online resources. Oh fuck, I don't have access to the JAVA API, shit I can't get to suns site now. I've got some work to do and I need to go look some stuff up in the crypto. To bad thanks to asshats like you I can't do that now.
Shit?!? Something is wrong with my IDE. Oh fuck, I can't go get another copy because I can't get to Borlands site.
You pay for the access, you can do what ever the hell you want with it. I pay a technology fee which covers my access. I'm paying, I get to do what I want with it as long as I don't harm the universities network environment. I've read the contract very thoroughly.
Frank Miller was at best inspired to remake the story of the Spartans. 300 is a fantasy movie based on something vaguely historical. The movie has a few names that are real and thats about it.

First time I saw this it was done with cooking oil.

Your assuming the person was bright enough to cover their tracks at all.

I said BUILD not BUY smartass.
Its rather hard to build a laptop from new egg. Unless I am missing something.
People tend to mark the decency stuff alot faster than copyright stuff.

So what about games made purely online. Games devs that don't have the money to get rated?
dump the core and lower the price of the premium 50 bucks.
