"Nope. There are genre giants that end up making less than the waiter at the local Dennys."

Name some, then post facts to support your assertions.

I'll wait. A long fucking time though, since you're full of shit.

As in, good luck finding a situation where someone had their rights violated and NO ONE in America cares about it. If you think that's possible, you're an idiot.

The US is too diverse politically for that to ever happen.

As an aside, you're obviously seething with your inability to force the hand of the US government. It must piss you off intensely to know that not only do we not give a fuck what your farcical "world courts" think, but that you can't do a thing to change it.

Whine away, whiny whiner, whine away.

"So as long as instead of declaration of war the aggressor declares that it no longer recognized a nation, it's OK to shove everyone who resists into a death camp? "

Um, no. And nobody said anything about that but you.

Take you meds guy, seriously.

"Let's say there is some public corruption by a popular political figure. Should an organized group of partisan poll voters be able to spike the story just because they don't want to hear something bad?"

Where pedants fabricate stupid objections out of whole cloth in order to show the world how smart they think they are.

You, and the idiots who modded you up, need to be sterilized.

"Can we agree that not all "Social Network" ideas are worthwhile just because they happen to involve the Internet?"

I'll agree to that when you admit your obejction is moronic.

Deal?

"'My outrage is aimed at the scientist-charlatan putting society at risk using statistical methods. This is similar to global climate change"

Because relying heavily on statistical models is BAD for Wall Street, but GOOD for climate research, and clearly more useful and accurate when used that way.

Or maybe you should use some critical thinking skills and question some of your assumptions instead of frantically trying to conjure a refutation for my irrefutable observation.

Is usually disregarded as a joke by people whose opinions matter.

"More like "an idiot on /. who doesn't actually understand the issues at hand, and then lashes out because he's a moron"

I'm glad you admit it, but it's kind of lame to own up but not log in.

"Attacking someone as such only indicates that you're unwilling to convey your point in a civil manner."

FTFY

And of you weren't such a blathering retard, you'd realize he made the same points several times, and was refuted, with quite a bit of civility, SEVERAL TIMES.

Yet he continued to drone on moronically, then YOU chimed in with your idiotic intro, which, sadly for you, is TOTALLY REFUTED by the ACTUAL CONTENT of my post.

See, asshole, I ATTACKED AND REFUTED HIM. You see that whole line of text talking about "waiting" or "downloading"? Yeah? You can read that?

Yeah, exactly, it DIRECTLY ADDRESSES HIS POINTS AND DESTROYS THEM.

And your imbecil ass COMPLETLEY IGNORES IT so you can trot out the oh so tired and wrong "Attacking someone as such only indicates that you're unable to convey your point in a civil manner."

"I have the game on pre-order with a store here, but they won't have it for a few more weeks.

I've put my money down, I'm supporting the developer, and I want to play the game now."

You purchase and DOWNLOAD IT, so YOUR idiotic points are also moot.

It must be very difficult for you to be such a fucking idiot.

"Everyone claiming that the judge is biased, that the verdict is wrong - can anyone please present some arguments against the verdict itself?"

No, they can't.

Why do you think there is so much focus on ad hominem attacks?

If there were a sound legal theory behind their points they wouldn't be wasting their time with petty elementary school type characte assasination.

"Circus"?

By this you mean, "A bunch of idiots making stupid assertions because they lost and can't stand that the law says they're wrong"?

It's hilarious to watch you fucking losers describe this as a "circus" when you're the only clowns around.

NO ONE CARES. YOU LOST. STOP PRETENDING YOUR IGNORANCE AND PARTISANSHIP IS AN ACTUAL OBJECTION TO ANYTHING.

STOP WHINING LIKE A FUCKING TWO YEAR OLD AND FABRICATING WORTHLESS ASSERTIONS, YOU SOUND MORE PATHTETIC EVERY TIME YOU TRY

" I just don't rely on it to manage, because in my circumstances it absolutely cannot do it effectively."

Yeah, we saw that. Did you see where it was explained why you're wrong? I have to assume you didn't or else you wouldn't have repeated the same stupid ass argument that got shredded already.

None of the points you make are valid.

"I don't have a gamestop store anywhere near me, i don't even think they operate any stores whatsoever in this country, my only way to play this game would have been by downloading it. "

Or, as you've been told repeatedly, stop whining like a fucking brat and wait til the actual release sate, or download it from the developers who PUT IT ON LINE AS SOON AS THEY BECAME AWARE THE RELEASE DATE WAS BREACHED.

Get it?

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING POINT YOU MAKE IS WRONG.

Patently, undeniably, inavoidably WRONG.

And the sad part is, you're so fucking stupid, you make the same retarded argument several times. It's not enough for you to look like a fucking child once, no, you have to spread your stupidity far and wide, reiterating that not only are you a blathering moron, but that you don't even bother to follow up, so you understand how fucking idiotic your "point" is.

Kill yourself. No one who says "I HAD to pirate it, I had no other choice (but wait for the release date, or pay and download it online from the developers, but who's counting...).

God you're a fucking loser.

"As an indicator of other things 1 year sea ice thickness is relevant on a second order"

Wonderful ,but since these measurements covered FAR MORE than "1 year" I'm not sure why shring your ignorant opinion is a good idea.

" I say..."

NO ONE CARES.

That you would fabricate a scenario where your idolatry is preserved means nothing about reality.

And you would still be wrong.

Deciding that "snows very infrequently" (which is what "virtually nil" REALLY means) means "too cold to snow" really only demonstrates that when proven wrong, you will lie.

Why should we care what a proven liar like you says?

It's not news. It's the irrelevant ramblings of two groups who don't matter anymore.

Hell, the fact that a flaming retard like you thinks it is news, and that lying sack cuntrylawyer agrees, is fairly representative of how not news this is.

"It is, in fact, very encouraging good news: an important new fact regarding a case that is important and very relevant to today."

How? I notice this "news" you think is news is SO important that you can't even coherently explain WHY it's important. That's no accident.

"The outcome of this case affects, indirectly, whole industries surrounding recorded music and video, and the software industry as well. Being a software engineer, I, for one, am VERY interested in any news surrounding this case. "

SO WHAT IS THE NEWS HERE? Some petty legal wrangling?

Yeah SOOOOO fucking newsworthy.

No, here's what's happening. You fucking nerds get off on pedantry, specifics, and minute details. I'm sure you're exactly the kind of loser who insists on strict continuity in your stories. You're PETTY, so every opportunity you get, you take a swipe at your "enemies", no matter how small you look in the process. the you justify it by making some idiotic half-sequitur about this being "news" because you're IN THE BIZ, but totally forgetting that this is NOTHING. Unimportant and irrelevant don't even come close to how little this means.

Of course, that doesn't stop you from demonstrating your own smallness and pettiness by pretending it matters.
