Yes, the Republican strategy of disgusting and confusing their opposition with the state of US politics, while simultaneously drumming up their base with fear mongering worked
Are you kidding? The democrat leaders (Reid, Poliski, etc) have accused the republicans of poisoning the air, stealing social security from grandmas, wanting the poor to starve, starting a "war on women", etc.
You are not understanding that not all seats were ups for vote. That 20 million number is not as relevant as you think it is.
I could have 100% people vote for party "Jackie" for 2014 in California. This would not allow me to win in Texas if no seats were open during this election period.
Also, not all votes are equal.
Each state has 2 senators. If Rhode Island voted 100% Republican and California voted 100% Democrat, you could say that Democrats carried more than twice the number of votes than republicans but only received half the seats. While factually true, it is misleading.
You are holding on to something that both parties pushed and blaming only one party.
In addition, you are holding on to old shit that should have been corrected by now.
I can say that Clinton and the democrats gave us the DMCA but that doesn't excuse Bush or Obama or the congresses during their times for keeping it.
In fact, Bush was fairly transparent about where he stood on the NSA. Obama and the of liberals flat out lie on it and you give them cover when you keep going back so far (when 6 out of 10 of those years had a Democrat president.)
And being cute with caps doesn't help your case. It just looks juvenile. I'm sure you also type Faux News feeling clever.
All but 1 democrat voted for the increase power granted by the Patriot Act and the only reason any of it expires and requires renewal is because a Texas Republican added sunsets to the bill
"The Obama administration, the intelligence agencies and their allies in Congress had made an all-out push to quash the amendment after it unexpectedly made it past the House rules committee late on Monday" http://www.theguardian.com/wor...
I'm sure you'll say some BS like "I never said that the other side was better" but the fact is, you ignored the democrats and neo-libs in your post altogether.
I'm really sick of your type. We have a more democrat supermajority that didn't do a damn thing to fix this yet you go back 14 years to troll the GOP (most of which are not even in congress anymore.)
In this case, it's not even about people being stupid.
This group overloaded servers - there was no security breach.
If I was a consumer, would I blame
A) The group of people that on purpose overloaded the servers
B) The company for not having invested in more servers that are only used because assholes are deliberately trying to overload their servers and ruin my day (and who would cover the cost of the additional - usually unneeded - servers)

That's the problem. They don't really care if you play. The game is only a pretext for you to spend more money. If you have no way to spend money, the game does not matter to them.
And farmers don't really care if we eat. The food is just a pretext to get me to spend money. (I know the analogy can be destroyed fairly quickly but honestly what for-profit company doesn't make their product to get money?)
Yeah - I sure he know that there are ways to circumvent it. For me, it would be quicker to torrent the book then to edit a photo with gimp to add my signature.
But hopefully you felt clever showing how much work you are willing to put into getting a free ebook and sabotage this guys company
Very true. And very limited to Americans. That is why these movies do so poorly oversees....
I think the sad truth is that that movies are now made to appeal to the broadest base (and nowadays this includes the people in Europe and Asia as well as the Americas) there is many issues "safe" to tackle.
I started back up at the end of season 2 / beginning of season 3 on netflix. It was pretty good. I have no desire to watch season 1 or 2 to see what I missed, though.
Heh... although only Simon Pegg as Scotty good get away with a line like: "Ach, maybe if I put some NOS into the Warp Core we could overtake 'em... what do I look like a stupid git? I'm givin' her all she's got!"
Babylon 5 had a similar line When ordering the White Star to turn around from a planets gravity Sheridan "Now! Give it everything you got" Lennier "If I was holding anything back, I'd tell you."
No one will think of Wrath of Khan or First Contact when they hear the word "shit". These two were the best Trek movies period.
I hate what they did with the Borg. They went from a terrifying, leaderless race of aliens with a goal of self improvement to a queen with a bunch of mindless zombies (drones) with a goal of absolute power.

It is misleading. You acted like more votes proved gerrymandering.
Same here. First batch updates to 7 just happened this week
Additionally, they now charge to view old tax returns filed with them
You guys like to blame the republicans for what the democrats started.

I suspect the so-called leaker is really working for Microsoft.
Interesting. For what purpose?

Two of the top results from google search "Congression oversight NSA"
"Obama says NSA has plenty of congressional oversight."

We still have Radio Shacks in San Antonio.
That said, they seem to mainly be Sprint stores in all but name that happen to sell a few computer/tv items

So they just gave you time to think about your game consumption, and the opportunity to think about the "silent" in silent night.
They stopped because they were paid off. Thinking of them as noble or anything less than assholes gives them to much credit.

I haven't used the PS4 but this was a problem for the PS3 as well (in addition to the fact that their update server seemed to run at dial up speeds)

I'd rather have a bigger screen and smaller form.
That said, there are a ton of phones for me. You'd think they'd make one just to own that niche market
I thought the frontpage was based on what categories we chose to see (example: this one is opensource.)
Are there non-front pages for articles?

They did when Bush was president
