Just because it has the potential to be cool, doesn't mean that it also can't be a frequent annoyance that added to the price.

And the prompt can only be confirmed with keyboard shortcuts, and executed from a command line...

Fair Use is a good idea too, spoiled.

Being education doesn't automatically allow Fair Use, but it is one of multiple factors (along with the nature of the use, amount used and substantiality, and the effect that the use can have on the value or marketability of the work).

Yeah, why hasn't the US got on board yet with implementing technology that allows banks and issuers to absolve themselves of responsibility and push the blame onto the consumers?

If fraud happens on these new cards, it becomes up to the consumers to prove that it was fraud and that they did not compromise their PIN.

As a bonus, the consumers get to be forced to memorize a new PIN!

It's Win WIn.

Duh?

That's why so many people are arguing that Copyright is too long. Copyright was originally "for a limited duration". That limited duration has constantly been extended because of powerful companies and interests.

Pirates aren't the thieves of intellectual property in this country. The thieves are the corporations that have stolen huge amounts of culture from the people, and locked ideas away in a Disney vault.

Works of cultural and historical significance are literally rotting away, often without a clear chain of ownership, because copyright extensions have made them off-limits.

The net effect is not far from the systematic burning down of libraries.

I said "Republican Core" because I'm not so naive to think that every sheep following the Republican Party is in favour of throwing all poor and minorities under the bus, and all the other ridiculousness that we see from the far right.

The problem with "Republicans" is that many of them actually see themselves as very moral, ethical, and compassionate people. In my experience, many of them are!

However, it's a moot point if the average "Republicans" is still backing this "Republican Core" that loudly proclaims that they are the party of "Christian values", while enacting policies that more closely reflect Ayn Rand.

I don't follow MSNBC. I don't consider myself a "Democrat". I dislike things done by both parties and I think that both parties play politics and work more towards sustaining themselves and their party than they are to working for the people. For me, it literally comes down to the lesser evil.

However, If you honestly believe that the Republicans core isn't actively trying to promote policies that will undermine the poor and minorities in this country, and that this is only a stereotype that comes from liberal media, then you have your head up your ass.

Both sides are hurting the poor and the minorities, but one of them actively is trying to do it.

Forget that, when do we hear about billion dollar banking fraud busts?

To be an awful name that fits perfectly into MS naming schemes, it would have been MyDocuments.com

Obviously... The reason that people think that the Bible is mistaken is because they misunderstand the meaning of a word, which clearly means something different than what people believe, because if it didn't then the Bible would be mistaken!

Or people that are too damn old to care about proving how "mature" they are by insisting on playing M-Rated games...

Nintendo's games may have cartoony aesthetics that appeal to kids, but they are also well-designed games that are meant to be played by the entire family.

Agreed! I had no idea that EA was even in the car business now!

I was dismissive of the Wii-U at first. I thought it was a bone-headed move.

The truth is, a year later I looked at the system again. I looked at the games that have come out, and there were a lot of interesting games!

I decided to buy one last month, and gimmick or not, it is a seriously fun console. I much prefer to play my Wii U than my friend's PS4. It's not even just the 1st party titles either.

I feel like Wii U is a disaster not because it isn't a fun game system with fun games, but because of cynical, close-minded, jaded gamers who think they are too cool to play on a console that they believe is a kiddie console.

I still have my doubts about whether the extra tablet/screen was necessary, but it has added a lot to some games.

Or Zelda, or Pikman, or Metroid, or Smash Brothers...

I can't believe all the technologies out there that allow viewers to circumvent messages from advertisers. It's truly an outrage! For example, have you heard about the "toilet"? Apparently, many people use it whenever there's a commercial. How insidious!
