Just hire a socially retarded flamer....we still remember you, you god damn faggot.
The process server is on his way to your house right now to serve you on Intimidation Bias charges. Think about whom you might be offending next time you put something on the internet.
I suppose I'll be moderated "troll" if I suggest that the government shouldn't waste time and money rewriting software that already exists and can be licensed in the commercial market. Not that necessarily there's a tool that can support the NSA's massive data-sharing needs, but still.
The difference between the viewership of Fox News and MSNBC is the latter's demographic views biased news as a problem, and the former views bias in news as the Free Market(TM) at work. MSNBC types enjoy that network's criticism of Fox News so much that they're blind to their own biases.
Give companies that open-source their old software a percentage of their initial investment costs back in tax deductions; the sooner they do it, the more they should be able to recoup as the greater the benefit will be to the open-source community. This can be paid for by leveraging open-source software in government functions to save operating costs.
Stop being such a pansy. The only way to live this life of yours is to do better than the guy below you, so either step on his face to climb your way to top of the greasy pole or start sweeping floors. Step it up, you jackwagon!
The only people being taxed under Obamacare are those with enough money to buy insurance but who choose not to do so. We have a term for people like that -- idiots. It's an idiot tax. Obama is taxing idiocy.
As somebody who makes a couple thousand dollars a year more than the level required for government assistance, *ahem* Fuck You.
Why are Americans so convinced that amoral profit seeking corporations have their best interests at heart, and not an elected government whose power is given to them by the people?
Because said government is in bed with those so-called amoral profit-seeking corporations and those who take your taxes are no more deserving of your blind trust and obedience than those whom you choose to give your money.
133% of the poverty line is something like 26-28 thousand dollars a year. I make a couple more than that. I can't afford insurance, so the only option for me is to go work for a bigger company or get slapped with a huge fine. Stop slapping people with the Fox News rhetoric when you don't even consider what happens to those who don't fit into your myopic view of everyone as extremely rich or poor.
I agree (mostly) with your arguments, but I fail to see how stealing programming because you dislike the medium in which it's delivered is moral. If you don't like ad-driven television or services like Hulu, either buy them in a medium in which you don't have to watch ads (on DVD, iTunes, Amazon, Netflix) or don't watch.
Just as I'm a proud taxpayer because I feel it buys civilization (as opposed to Somalia), I immediately signed on to the NYTimes pay service without even bothering with the one month free trial. It buys very good journalism (as opposed to Fox).
A proud taxpayer's capitalist approach to supporting socialist-leaning media? My head hurts now.
I guess all news sources are biased, and you need to take more than one point of view if you want to be able to form your own balanced opinion.
I'm glad at least one person on Slashdot gets it. It's not "Fox News Lies!" or "MSNBC Lies!," "RT Lies!," "BBC Lies!," etc. They all have skin in the game and they have a particular mindset and worldview to which they want to cater. You're not going be able to go out there and verify everything they say, so all you can do is try to get as many angles on an issue as you can in order to grasp the reality of the situation.
Good points, but you're assuming that each game is only going to be handled by one controller, such as the specialty games you've listed above. Most people who play the money-makers such as FPSes will do fine with a simple dual-axis controller that can be bundled or purchased separately at retail with the tablet itself, if one has the foresight to know that the tablet will be used for such games. It's just a matter of establishing a standard API for controller buttons and analog sticks.
Yes. It was just simply a question of timing. In 2004, portable devices weren't powerful enough to handle full-scale web browsing, and Facebook/Twitter didn't exist yet.
That's a peripheral problem, not a device problem. How hard could it be to affix a traditional-style controller to the bottom or back of a slate and play that way?
Nintendo, no one wants to carry around a dedicated portable gaming console anymore, "3D" or otherwise. Can't you see that the future of portable gaming is on slate devices that are not made exclusively for gaming? Kids (and adult gamers) don't want to have to switch devices to check their Facebook and Twitter accounts, watch a movie, listen to music, etc. Either give us a slate to compete with the likes of the Galaxy, Xoom, iPad, etc. or GTF out of the way and start making games for said devices.
Pretty much every chat service out there has an XMPP gateway one can utilize. I have an account with http://www.hosted.im/ that uses its own set of gateways for AIM, MSN, Facebook Chat. (Because it's XMPP based, you can add GTalk contacts directly to your hosted.im account without an additional connector.) When you sign into your single account, all the other accounts get signed into as well and you have an auto-aggregated list of all your online contacts.
TL;DR: One account, one tiny program, connects to all your services and the load of running them all is on the server, not your phone. Xabber is a great little program for this purpose.
Maybe I'm completely alone on this, but I really dislike booth babes, poster girls, or any form of sexual manipulation used as a marketing tactic for products I'm interested in. It actually drives me away instead of enticing me. It's one thing to use colors, styles, or themes that appeal to our demographic, but every one of us know that tits have about as much to do with the quality of business electronics as Obama's birthplace has to do with his performance as president. We all know that as aroused as that big, fake bleached smile looks, she is NOT attracted to any of us in the slightest and views us all as sexist pigs by virtue of our attention to the very thing she's getting paid for. I purposefully avoid it because I know my shit about what makes a good product and don't appreciate my intelligence being insulted.

Considering the high rates of pregnancy and sexual preoccupation amongst teens, couldn't young boys be accurately described as Random Seed Generators?

Why the fuck is this story tagged "Republicans?" A presumption that Republicans must have a hand in anything environmentally destructive?

If you'd RTFA you'd see it is against the law in the state of Michigan.
Hooters is free to only hire younger women with certain attributes.
Get over it.
No they're not.
