Do you think we're all just stroking our own egos here? I'm sorry for ejaculating like this but to me this is a serious tissue.

People love witch hunting. The marketing trend profits off that greatly, in fact. How often are big-box food distributors blamed for being "all artificial" which is synonymous with "bad for you?" I just saw a cheese-it commercial touting how they use REAL cheese, instead of artificial cheese. Does anybody know how we make cheese? It's already a damn process for christ's sake!

There are things that are bad for us (transfats), and then there are ghosts (this wasn't grown organically, it contains boogeymen chemicals!)... same goes with the sensitivities. It's all part of our anti-rational history!

Well, you're on target, but in the wrong scale- You're right, survival of the fittest has slowed considerably, thanks to modern medicine, genes that wouldn't usually be considered viable are able to survive long enough to breed (propagate).

But Weaker ? Maybe in the long run as a species, now that we're able to increase survival rate, that signifies that our evolution has taken to a more social level. As a society- we're much stronger.

Either way, evolution of certain traits can take thousands/millions of years. I don't think the amount of time we've had modern medicine has done much to evolution yet.

Escape the radio waves! Go to the place that has nothing but some high tech telescopes! There's no radio waves here! Wait.. what's that? The telescopes are detecting radio waves from space? Quick!! ESCAPE REALITY!

+1 to this. I have a lot of internet connected devices in my house. 4 Squeezeboxes that use Rhapsody, 2 Rokus streaming hidef, and when my friends are over, usually 3 or 4 computers running. It's not about one computer, it's about a bunch. That being said, I've never noticed a slow down on my 18 mbps

That's bs, that site doesn't exist.

I assume that's to keep from outright admitting a specific crime. It'd be a hands-down loss of a law suit if he just admitted to pirating specific titles.

An interesting point.. since copies of artwork exist and just aren't worth what the original is worth.. hmmm...

Right, my point is that steam uses the word "buy" in their store.

My big gripe with steam was one day, they were running an amazing deal, but it was for 24 hours only. I spent the entire day getting "declined" messages when trying to charge my credit card. But there was a catch- my card was working fine and had plenty of cash. I looked it up and various people also had the same issue. It appears some accounts that weren't all that active were marked high risk and would decline transactions no matter what credit card was used during the sale. Immediately after the sale, my card started working again, but I didn't get the sale price.

I haven't seen the issue since, but I don't put a lot of stock in steam.

I agree with Xest here, the fact of the matter is Steam uses a shopping cart with the word "buy" all over it. I think the manner with which they're treating these licenses -- consumer protection would probably uphold that this is more like property and less like rental.

He can spell just fine. You just don't speak this new generations' say-as-much-as-you-can in 140 characters language. They're just getting more efficient.

Wow 59.. i'm getting good here.

Seriously, since the actual owners authorized the monitoring company to have that form of access to the computer, anybody who steals it and uses it afterwards (knowingly or not) really has no legal dispute with the rightful owner and any company the owner authorized to snap screencaps and whatnot.

That's just a myth. The evidence was faked. The earth has always gone through these cycles. What was once Cool will be Retro cool soon in the future.

If you had access to a child to molest yourself.. why would you need access to the porn?
