When a 3rd-party platform gets popular enough, it is adopted by one of the major parties. See Prohibition, womens' suffrage, abolition, civil rights, etc. That is the way 3rd parties influence the political process.
Yes, it's a feature game designers always take out when people start to whine. Stupid majority. Most games would actually be more like games if they would allow permadeath. Or at least severe penalty for dying.
Games would be more like games if they included more of the least fun parts of reality? Did you develop "The Sims"?
On the other hand, if trained dogs detecting drugs on a property shouldn't allow the cops to obtain a warrant, what's next?
Dogs obtaining warrants? Why should we stop there? How about...dogs issuing warrants? Dogs sentencing offenders, dogs interpreting our laws. Yes, I agree that we should cede the judicial branch to the dogs! Screw the Constitution, something that drinks out of a toilet and licks its own butthole should have the authority to lock me away for life!
Great argument. Vegas was run by gangsters, thus we should continue spending billions of taxpayer dollars prosecuting victimless crimes! You've convinced me, master debater!
Remember, it's only a problem when unions screw over the public. When corporations do it, well, that's just capitalism, right Ronnie?
Sounds like someone confused their elections with their erections!
So the way Pakistanis showed they were OK with this was by arresting those who did it and publicly protesting the attack and praying for the girlâ(TM)s health.
Actually, they didn't arrest the perpetrators, who actually pulled the trigger. They arrested the "mastermind." The Taliban spokesman says that they warned the girl's parents multiple times before shooting her. And no, they didn't arrest him either.
Thank goodness those US telecoms stand up for their customers' constitutional rights! They'd never stand for unconstitutional surveillance on their networks!
The real reason the neocons wanted Saddam gone was that the no fly zone was expensive
Yup, so expensive compared to fighting a protracted 'police action' on the ground for decades! Those neocons, they're nothing if not thrifty. They also seem to have a real penchant for strengthening Iran. Heckuva job!
THIS IS WHAT NEOCONS ACTUALLY BELIEVE.
Yes, the US had to attack Iraq because a neutered dictator who couldn't even fly over his own country without getting blown out of the sky was an imminent threat to the most powerful nation in history. It was a matter of national security, dammit!
Certainly not a wasteful imperialistic adventure that bankrupted the country, killed hundreds of thousands of innocents and left us in worse standing than ever in the Middle East.
When Slashdot needs a meandering wall of text, there's only one man that can get the job done!
[female singers] BENNETT HASSLETON!
(A smart car vrooms through an intersection, crushing JON KATZ who is walking across the street at the time). BENNETT jumps out of the car and pushes his huge nerd glasses back up on his nose.
BENNETT: 'Sup, motherfuckers? I heard you needed some BORING-ASS NAVEL-GAZING! (winks at camera)
[female singers] BENNETT HASSLETON!
Between composite and HDMI? Yes!
Between component and HDMI? Not so much. And if you are talking about component or HDMI cables more than 6 feet long, I'll take component any day of the week. Balanced interconnects with for long cables=horrible idea.
Oh, you bitter AC...what is it about this comment:
"You'll take our shit and
That makes this comment sound so hypocritical?
Portable gaming without traditional d-pad and button controls is here. Understand it, or be shoved aside.
It really has nothing to do with controls, and everything to do with the convenience of only having 1 device to carry around.
OpenStack is offered by a variety of vendors...it's the Linux to AWS' Windows.
Really, you like 4 hour games, endless visits to the mound by coaches and lots of relief pitchers? Because that kills baseball for me. When the game's moving along it's fun to watch. When the pitcher is taking forever between pitches, consulting everyone in the dugout, and screwing around it's a total bore. That's what happens when there are too many home runs...
