When was the last time we heard about a 21 million dollar drug bust?
Forget that, when do we hear about billion dollar banking fraud busts?

So it fits perfectly into the MS naming scheme, you say?
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!
Right. Children.
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.
FUCK, THAT, SHIT!
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.
Nintendo's strategy was to make themselves the system you get if you're interested in Pokemon or Mario...
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!
What's the point of Aereo then? Why not stuck up my own antenna and DVR instead? What is the value? Is it just sticking the DVR into the cloud?
Well the obvious fact that antennas are not viable or effective for everyone, you also have the ability to stream to various devices.
I've been trying them out recently, and I do like the fact that I can pull up a recorded show on my phone or my tablet, even when I'm not at home.
However the viewing area is a drawback. I've spent most of the last month traveling on business, and my DVR was filling up with shows that I could not watch because I was not in the allowed viewing area... (and I was too lazy to find a proxy).
And, I simply don't want to trust my life to a computer program.
You already trust your life to many computer programs...
Have you seen the average human driver?! Please, replace them with software as soon as possible!
Remember, this is a prototype. 5 years ago cell phones were rather clumsy, too, and they'd been on the market for years. Expect the final (i.e., final before they start selling them) version to have a hidden controller, possibly in a belt or shirt-pocket.
In 5 years, maybe it will even support a camera too Our eyes could finally be used in order to perceive visual information. How cool is that?
I don't think that "persecution" is the right word.
We've created a monstrosity of a system that regularly grinds up many ordinary citizens for the sake of political and financial gain. He wasn't persecuted, but rather ground by the cogs.
"Someone might follow a faith for the moral story and community, while not believing that the deity actually exists"
The term hypocrite seems to describe this pretty well.
I don't think you even know what what a hypocrite means. A hypocrite is someone espouses a belief system, but yet whose actions are contrary to that belief system.
There is nothing hypocritical about someone who prefers a belief system and community, uses that system as the foundation of his morals and ethics, but simply doesn't believe in the supernatural aspects of that belief system. I know many Jews that fall into this category. They follow out of tradition and community.
The cap is only in some markets. They are testing it. People need to express their dissatisfaction while the testing phase is still happening.
I don't think the government should tell us what to eat...
Of course. Our diet should be left up to the invisible hand, and be determined primarily by profit motive!
People have the choice to low quality unhealthy food, or they can choose to get in their time machine and shop in the past.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
