  8. People are surprised? on Whistleblower Claims NSA Spied On Everyone, Targeted Media · · Score: 1

    I would expect the NSA to spy on everybody.
    I would just expect anything they find to never in anyway be admissible in court.
    They are an intelligence agency, little or nothing they do should involve law enforcement or the courts.

    That sound you just heard. That was a joke screaming over your head at around mach 2.

    There are some exceedingly grim jobs in the military.

    Some folks never talk about it.
    Some folks talk about it.
    Some folks become very detached about what they do.
    Some folks develop a grim/dark sense of humor.

    Don't call someone a cretin or a sociopath because of their coping mechanism. It doesn't mean they enjoy it.

    Did you read the article?

    "If you think this isn't already cool enough (which I cannot imagine), then you should know that it comes with Ultra-Wideband Wireless HDMI buit-in.

  14. And so it begins on Obama Picks RIAA's Favorite Lawyer For Top DoJ Post · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't wait to watch all the hardcore supporters roll back expectations, deny all the claims they made about change, and finally blame the system itself for any failures on the chosen ones part.

    And the rest of us who maybe had a little hope for change are just going to be disappointed with more "new boss".

    No one is claiming anything about steam.

    It is what it is.

    A service that allows you to buy(rent), download your game to any computer with the client, and play. It has a functional offline mode that works for every valve developed or published title I have played. It has introduced me a to few indie games that were fun. The prices are good, and I've bought most of my games on discount. It has community features that I find useful. It keeps my game up to date.

    It is the only authentication system that actually gives you something in return for authenticating your game, and it doesn't bitch about me having virtual drive software.

    The only major issues I've had with a game on steam was when a publisher(THQ not Valve) decided that the steam authentication wasn't good enough and decided it needed another DRM solution on top of steam, and it didn't let me actually play the game while their authentication severs were buggered.

    Steam is what it is. Nothing more nothing less.

    You are describing a wow player.

    I'm the only person in my apartment who doesn't play WoW, yet I'm only one who is technically inclined(programmer, budding linux user).
    I'm also the only one who works out on a regular basis, cleans the place, or does the dishes. The only comment that could be applied to my room is "spartan".

    Your right though, there not extinct. They also appear to be on the road to reproducing.

  20. Re:God, please let this be true. on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    Well if you just wound them, a high power lawyer will represent them in civil court pro bono and sue the fuck out of you. That is why you kill them.

    Not to mention the fact that one of the first rules of gun safety is that I will only shoot at something I am willing to kill.

    Those police don't actually protect his house you know... they just take pictures and fill out paperwork you send to the insurance company after some hoodlum ransacked your house while you were at work.

    God, I hope an anti asteroid system isn't like the police, I'd prefer if it was more like the secret service. You know, everyone is pretty focused on that one important dude, and if he gets offed, a whole bunch of people get fired.
