I find it very odd that people believe that any criticism of the Obama administration has to be accompanied by a statement proclaiming that Republicans are bad, even when it's completely irrelevant to the topic being discussed. It's almost as if, for some weird reason, people think they have to apologize for making very valid and necessary criticisms against the terrible policies supported by this president. Not that I give a shit about Republicans, but I think the apologetic tone softens the criticism, which should be expressed as plainly and bluntly as possible. This president is not what he promised to be. We should't apologize for pointing out the fact that we were duped.

Give it up. A new Zelda game will never recreate that experience of firing up The Legend of Zelda on your NES for the first time when you were 10 years-old.

This focus on Wikileaks is ridiculous. Why does information have to leaked by Wikileaks? It doesn't. What's so fucking special about this site? One can leak information anywhere on the web, including the established media, a personal blog, or even Slashdot. This idea that only Wikileaks' site can disseminate sensitive information is fucking retarded. I find this obsession whacky. Who really gives a fat rat's ass about this bullshit drama?

This sounds like an amazing pain in the ass.

Don't get your hopes up. You're all going to die, most sooner than you wish. Make the most of what you got... you apes.

The logical progression of this idea -- autonomy, self-sufficiency, self-ownership of resources, etc.-- leads toward the creation of an alternate, non-corporate, user-owned internet. I think that could be amazing.

Let me elaborate on what a Bethesda PR coup could have looked like. They could have had Notch agree to a Quake 3 battle, but admit the word 'scrolls' is part of their trademark. If his team won, the Notch has licensee rights for his game. If he wanted to use this name for other games/ sequels, then another tournament would be necessary, under the same terms. Then they could have turned this Quake 3 tournament into an internet PR extravaganza for both parties. The tournament itself could be webcast live on the net with all kinds of juicy marketing tie-ins for both parties. If Notch won, Bethesda looks humble and magnanimous, earning internet sweetheart status. And even if Bethesda won, they could have gave Notch permission to use the name anyways, with their conditions, in a gesture of good will -- same result. Now they'll be loathed as big corporate bullies. And they've gained nothing.

Bethesda blew it. They could have had the biggest PR coup ever by taking Notch up on his Quake 3 offer. Now they just look like douchebags.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Cheaters never win...unless of course their multi-billion-dollar multi-national corporations. In this case, carry on...

And I don't understand how two fags can simultaneously come up with calculus.

A team of volunteer cryptographers have cracked the code. They're not web addresses at all, but pieces of a secret message: B-E-S-U-R-E-T-O-D-R-I-N-K-Y-O-U-R-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E

The last I read, 70% of all volume in the NYSE is HFT. We need another word for this because it is not capitalism. It is taking advantage of quarks in the system. Everyone knows these quarks exists and that they're distorting the system, yet these quarks are deliberately left as is.
