The marketing department will probably do the same thing, except have TSA agents at the entrance to the event.

Really? For me it is the pre-movie adds, the ads interspersed during the trailors, the annoying guys walking around with airplane landing flashlights, the 5 dollar sodas, and eventually, when its over, the feeling that you just spent 20 bucks on a movie that you really aren't sure you even liked. Where is the new generation of David Lynches, Tarantinos, Darren Aronofskys, etc? I want more movies like Mirrormask or Science of Sleep or Fish Story or The Fountain... damn it. If the plot isn't too complicated for half the audience its not worth paying to see (except via Netflix).

Tell that to Carmageddon... they just sent an email out saying 'Ohai kickstarter guyz! I was going to make your game and have it to you already, but our publisher decided such support from kickstarter warranted a significant investment and so now we're SUPERCHARGING EVERYTHING! The game will be out sometime in the next century. Have a nice day and thanks for your money.'

And by 'god', you clearly mean the American government. These guys probably got the idea of xraying people from a truck because our government officials actually have trucks that xray shit when they drive down the street that are already suspected to cause health problems. But hey, at least we should feel safe that the only ones xraying American citizens work for the government, right? They probably just slapped a DHS sticker on the side of the van, attached a video display so they can look at people fucking through their walls, and called it an official gov't asset.

Guns bans have never been nor will ever be about controlling criminals or protecting innocent lives. It's all about making the general public feel safe, especially when they are not. "You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After 9 years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss."

The government doesn't care about most of us. They will only arrest people who, as MOPC said, pissed someone with more power than us off. Otherwise the only people who get arrested are the random members of the herd who are necessary to make status quo numbers. It's kind of where America has been headed for a while. We're all about regulations and numbers and basically the movie Brazil.

I find its fairly easy to get them fixed on one or the other, but I find it impossible to make them go up and down as a high rate of speed like I would need in a game.

Wow. We're making Cranium Rats? Anyone that has played Planescape Torment knows thats a bad idea.

Trucks in 30 miles of brush? Unleash the surveillance drones of war!

It's a tragic state of things when the father things he has a better chance of success by claiming religious reasons for not wearing a privacy invading device instead of actually calling it out for what it is. Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure he's right. Of course there's always the chance that he's just a crazy bastard really thinking its the mark of the beast or whatever. Either way, good luck on the fight.

When's the last time anyone has made a bomb which beeps, ticks, or vibrates?

Particularily since only a moron would think SteveBallmer@outlook.com is his actual email address. It was left open because @outlook.com is a public email address, same as @hotmail.com. I'm sure whoever owns SteveBallmer@hotmail.com got the dumbest people around emailing them when hotmail came out too :P (this post is not the opinion of microsoft or steveballmer)

You guys must be doing something seriously wrong if you think Windows 8 is worse than 7... Windows 8, used properly, is superior in every single way to 7. By use properly I mean uninstall everything called an "app" and learn to use Windows+E and Windows+X keys combinations. Use start screen only to search for programs. Also avoid the store, because you can only buy "apps" there, not programs.

Yeah, very sad. I voted against this but apparently most people did not read about the props in detail...

I get the feeling that America in general will dismiss this as something just affecting sex offenders, but it definitely feels like a huge step onto a very slippery slope. What I would most like to see is the people as a whole rise up and crush laws like this from overwhelming public outcry, same like SOPA.
