You try to bullshit me with your contract, I'm not entering it. Keep your game, I keep my money, let's see who can rather afford it.
I normally take this attitude but Sony is breaking laws here. There needs to be a lawsuit at the very least.
require the people carrying a gun to also carry liability insurance and carry proof of that insurance with them anytime they are carrying their gun? I hope so, but probably not.
I think that if we are required to carry liability insurance and proof thereof for something as mundane as driving a car we should require the same for carrying something that is designed specifically to kill other people.
I think the "free market" could solve the gun problem in the US in a hurry. Insurers would simply make it so expensive to carry a gun that people would have to give up on the idea.
Yeah make it so that only the rich are allowed to have guns legally. I'm sure that will go over well.
Half the curriculum in High School is far from important anyway. At least this is useful to the small segment of the population that can make a living off it.
... and useless, if not harmful, for the large segment of the population who thinks they can make a living at it, but in reality are merely wasting time. Time better spent learning real, useful life skills.
Useful life skills like memorizing Chaucer.
Your opinion of one thing you had to do in school that you didn't like nor found useful notwithstanding...
I was thinking more along the lines of things like Grammar, Science, Civics, Mathematics, et al. My bad for assuming that I didn't need to spell that out to this particular crowd.
I presumed we were collectively smarter than that, this being a "News for Nerds" site, and I apologize for overestimating the intelligence level of the group.
You missed my point. High School is full of useless topics. It's disingenuous to pretend time will be well spent if sports ceased to exist.

You're a fool. Once I realized that "willpower" is a metabolic state, not moral success or a moral failing, and I learned how to manipulate that metabolic state, I lost 150 lbs.
But go ahead, haters gotta hate!
Hate is a metabolic state.
Actually, Comcast tech support has told me point blank that I'm guaranteed at least 12M down and 3M up.
The tech is speaking with the voice of inexperience. If he says you're "guaranteed 12M down and 3M up" those are the thresholds Comcast has set for "acceptable" service on your package, which I assume is advertised higher than that. If you're below those thresholds they will begin their normal troubleshooting/field tech process. But they are going to be going by the average of your connection speed, and if a tech cannot resolve the issue they will eventually either tell you to "this is how it's going to be" or downgrade you to a speed package they can support.
When issues go beyond the modem, and replacing of coax and splitters from the pole and through the house, and up to a "line issue" they start looking at cost of line/node upgrading verses number of subscribers this issue is effecting -- and they may decide it's not worth the trouble.
Yup
3 words....permanent bandwidth exhaust.
I still can't believe there isn't a consumer advocacy group trying to end this practice.
I just mail the IRS the lifeless bodies of my children...
Did you claim them as dependents? That's a good way to get audited.
Microwave is actually a good example how an invention can change our life. Many don't cook their own food, just buy some frozen crap.
Not here on Slashdot.
Mom does all our cooking for us, upstairs.
I live above the garage you insensitive clod.
karmack has some rumblings about leaving as well.
Real advances for Occolus are dwindling. Zuck should have invested under his secret investment firm, "Evil Acquisitions inc."
Carmack has already tweeted that he is not leaving.
Going the speed of light is bad for your age.
