I read that. I think it's full of shit. They can claim it's an accident all they want, but they're obviously blowing smoke up our ass.

The sad part is that it wasn't even a fallacy in the first paragraph. The ISPs aren't going to do dick with all that money unless forced by an act of either congress or god, so there's no opportunity cost.

Not just that, it'll also cost $30k to repair actual hail damage. You'll be better off buying a new car eveytime it gets a dent.

Double Fine's gonna do an HD remaster soon.

It's mine, thanks.

Principle is hypergolic with politics.

...Yes? Also, it's not like there's really oversight effective enough to ensure they even comply with a judge's ruling.

Why again are we still supposed to use the ballot box instead of the bullet box?

That acronym is so massive we'll need Roland Emmerich to make a movie about it hitting the Senate floor.

What I'm trying to get across here is that it's pretty much exactly the same thing that made people not buy high def screens when they first came out. Old ones were "good enough." You're not still running 1024x768, are you?

It really isn't. Onboard sound is indeed "good enough," but that's not mutually exclusive with sound cards being worth it if you can afford them. Onboard sound no longer sucks so bad that you can notice the flaws without any basis of comparison, but when you DO have one, the benefits of the more expensive stuff are immediately apparent. Much richer bass, and cranking the volume doesn't flatten the sound or cause crackling. I'm using onboard sound now, because I can't afford an upgrade, but I definitely notice what I'm missing from when I did have a real soundcard. It's not nearly as important with gaming, but if you're listening to music, you can only miss the difference if you're completely tin-eared.

It is sometimes said by people who support gun rights that we need them in the event it ever becomes necessary to overthrow the government. That's what the right was established for, after all.

"That's ridiculous," opponents say. "You can't fight the federal government! They can just fly right over you and destroy your whole army with half a thought."

Leaving aside that guerrilla warfare works just fine against them everywhere else in the world, we can now say "no, they can't." They are too busy having our money stolen from them by the companies that are supposed to make the jets.

Isn't this more like if almost all the employees at McDonald's were also dealing drugs out the back door? Pretty sure all the franchise owners would at least be investigated/harassed out of business in that case. Not saying it's right, but it makes way more sense than the car thing.

If the armed invaders breaking down your door aren't from the government, you aren't a cop killer for shooting them.
