Didn't it win an Edgar? Yep, Best Paperback Original. Original edition published by TSR...when there still was a TSR.

...Not having any particular stake in this argument, are we quite sure that's Tyrell's intended meaning, something so mundane? I think Tyrell is more taking about stuff like this:

...i.e., Roy's greatness and accomplishment as a person. At that point, Tyrell wants to sooth Roy and make him accept his place by calling him amazing. Simply saying "well, that's the cost of bein' so darn strong" conflicts with his next line: "And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy."

And the landfills.

Under Bush, our country was attacked despite the fact that FBI agents tried unsuccessfully to warn about it; gasoline more than quadrupled in price (very suspicious; he's an oil man); got us into two wars, one of which was not only completely unnecessary but led to the rise of ISIS; took office in some of the best economic conditions I've seen in my life and left the economy in worse shape than any time since the great depression.

I never thought I'd see a worse President than Carter, who was far worse than Obama, but Bush proved me wrong.

Under Obama the wars are over, unemployment is half of what it was, gasoline is half what it cost under Bush. He's by no means a great President, but you have to remember that the Republicans' #1 agenda was to make his a failed Presidency.

The two best Presidents in my lifetime were, I think, Eisenhower and Clinton.

How else would you characterize this song from their third album?

"After Forever"

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

You should *fight the hypocrites because they are much more dangerous than those who are fundamentally heretics*

Agreed.

Yes, which is why I installed Thunderbird. I now still have my old 10+ year old email address and a stable email client. My phone's email client works well with the yahoo email as well.

Just install a real email client and your problems vanish.

Cheney is an evil man who was Vice President during the worst administration I've seen in my 62 years and possibly the worst in history.

Yes, if you listen casually to early Black Sabbath music, it sounds like a celebration of evil, but if you listen carefully it's actually Christian music. Hell, Iron Maiden's two minutes to midnight is an anti-abortion song. Twisted Sister was hauled in front of Congress for the "bloody" song under the blade; the song is about undergoing surgery.

Looks similar to the Media/Game piracy maps I've seen too.

Anglophones plagiarize/pirate the least, followed by western Europe and Japan, Middle east/Eastern Europe/Third world plagiarizes/pirates the most.

Considering that we've read that in some countries they have seminars/meetings to tell their business people who come to America to NOT try to use the bribery/graft thing that's usual in their countries, especially not with law enforcement..it probably is cultural.

I'm not saying that there isn't bribery in America, but that it's not as much a cultural thing. We put people in PMITA federal prison for what would be considered penny-ante expected stuff in most countries.

I don't think that's what TFA was talking about. In the Ozzie case, the dad found the son dead and a song named "suicide solution". None of the lyrics could be misunderstood to sound like he was advocating suicide. The grieving father saw the title and jumped to conclusions.

I expected that new installs would have Yahoo as the default, but I didn't expect them to change settings on already installed and configured browsers. Nobody with any brains or ethics changes settings on someone else's computer without permission. It's just wrong.

Exactly. You simply don't change settings on someone else's computer unless they ask you to.

The hat switch? The right joystick? I don't see any camera controls on the N64 pad either, just some tiny little "C-buttons" which never worked well.

considering how crappy the N64 controller is, the dual-analog/dual-shock did usher in an era. Hell, Nintendo's own "Classic Controller Pro" has a Dual Shock style layout.

I don't think there was a mad scramble to copycat, the Dual Shock is a better controller than the N64 controller.. Nintendo should have never let Shiggy near the controller design people.

Next round? You mean "same round", the Dual Shock became the default PSone controller soon after it's introduction.

Why? The piracy rate in Hungary is twice that of the US.

I once communicated with a Hungarian online. We talked a bit about gaming. He was a fervent PC Master race sort of guy. He said consoles were for rich kids and said the games cost too much and couldn't understand how American PC Master Race gamers sometimes call console gamers "welfare gamers" and that games cost the same price on various platforms. He said the PC was better because piracy was easier and that he pirated games mostly, because he had no money. And then this fellow told me wanted to be a game developer, but complained that pretty much required a move to the UK or the States, because that was where the money is. To me, that made him a hypocrite. I was thinking "Of course it is, because Anglophones actually pay for games."
