Wait, WHAT?!!!
Puzzlers, rhythm games, strategy games, building games, racing games... Etc. There are so many different types of games out there for PCs. Just because you have no INTEREST in games that are not particularly violent does not mean they don't exist.
Growing up, one of my favorite games was SimCity, before it became terrible(basically, post-sc2k).

On another note, I LOVE my violent games. Don't get me wrong. But there's something immensely satisfying about solving puzzlers, or 'winning' a game that technically has no end(IE: sc2k, etc).

This is how to bring third world countries into the first world. Let their governments spy on their people! That's how we do it in the 'western' world, after all!

And once more: Fox News is 'entertainment news.' Of course it has higher ratings, because people don't want truth and they don't want to think for themselves and develop their own opinions. They want to be told what's exciting, and what they should think about it.
Most news channels are like this, actually, just Fox tends to revel in it rather than try to give the illusion of honesty or neutrality. ... Actually, that's kind of a type of honesty, in itself, I suppose.

buy a terrible LCD, that way the ghosting will be so bad you won't even see the subliminal messages.

Screw that. Just use the easiest to remember password in history. upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart

I appreciate this. Very nice.
Also, this.

tl;dr: Nobody needs an SUV.

I'll fully admit, there are many people who LIKE SUV's, and who will continue to like them. There are many people who feel the need an SUV. But nobody needs an SUV.
SUV's fill a niche that should not exist. With either a minivan or a station wagon, the family can handle anything. I grew up with a second gen toyota tercel wagon 4wd, which my family took from east cost to west, and back(WITH at least one stroller thankyouverrymuch, and never even used the roof rack). Family grew to 3 children, and purchased a minivan. Tercel died of a broken timing belt after almost 300k miles, and moved to a corolla wagon.
So, with a minivan, you have: 7-8 seats(usually) that can be converted to 5-6 seats with a large luggage area, or 2-3 seats with a HUGE luggage area for hauling. Plus a trailer.
With a station wagon you seat 5-7(depending on model), and can remove seats to have a huge luggage area depending on needs. Plus a trailer.
The SUV is nothing but a station wagon, stretched, and put on stilts. They're the most ridiculous vehicle on the road, and i can never help but laugh when i see them. Vision is worthless(huge blind spots) that nearly push people off the road(I've had many opportunities to kick a dent into one on my motorcycle when they start changing lanes into me), primarily driven by one of the following: Single women who have self esteem issues; Soccer moms with delusions of grandeur, who spend too much time on their cell phones in the car and doing their makeup to actually drive; Single men with problems in the crotch area, and think they can compensate(although these tend to drift more towards pickup trucks); or married men with children who are 'too manly' to drive a station wagon or a minivan.

Once the apocalypse happens, and everyone drives around with guns on their cars, of course this will be the case. But, until then...

Apple will soon file a patent for "the use of ones and zeros in a mobile device for the storage of data"
I swear. the USPO has outlived it's usefulness. Ever since Edison decided to rape patent law to monopolize the film industry for many years.

I swear, a couple years back, I read a story about someone who invented basically a high power microwave that melted away plastics, etc, and left the rest intact. The plastic sludge that was left was then fed into diesel generators to power the whole thing, and you ended up with whatever the plastic was on sitting out. I'd think that would be a pretty good start to an efficient recycling of e-waste. Imagine it: old cat5 cable fed in, fuel and copper out.

Vendetta Online!!!!
3d first person space combat(a la freelancer/xwing series/etc) MMO that runs on windows, mac, linux, and android tablets? Heck yeah.

Those trucks are the worst. Especially when I'm on the motorcycle. Regardless of if they're running diesel or regular, but have them set up to run so rich they'll spew black smoke. So, if you're next to them, you aren't seen(because their mirrors don't work), if you're in front of them, they're tailgating you, and if you're behind them, you can't see shit and inhale 500 cigars worth of lung death. One started changing lanes into me(i had no shoulder to move over to) so i kicked their door hard as i could and laid on the horn(and hit the brakes. It was quite a maneuver). Still almost got sandwiched.

You know, I'd heard that happens to some people. Start writing down the numbers, and trying to get the company names. Go to the website and report it.
My plan is to get a prepaid credit card with about $0.50 on it, and give them that number... Maybe with a fake billing address or something. Then, when the charge shows up, you know EXACTLY who's breaking the law.
off to small claims, and call it a day.

Anyone else want to join me on this?

It helps. It's not perfect, believe me, and for the 30 days between when you register and you're officially on the list, it's hell, but... I'm down to 2-3 robocalls a month from 20-30(and for the 30 days, it was about 5-10 a day. I just didn't answer my phone for a month).

This is what I read it as, as well. Think of it this way, all you conspiracy nuts:
Shit, the president's heli just got taken down by EMP
*checks local map* There's a telecom company with hardened equipment half a mile away (inform them of capabilities and preparedness)
*goes to telecom company, "siezes" the equipment to report what happened* (continuity of government, puts VP in charge)

The actual wording makes it pretty clear what's going on. Basically says the DHS has to be the one to plan out how to communicate in the event of a national disaster, and is the group that keeps a database of ALL communication abilities of EVERYONE. Okay, slightly big-brother ish, but really... Not that big of a deal.
