Don't be, see the science:

... this is why obama is not on your side:
"You gullible idiots really think matter and giant 'big bang'"
Something eternal can exist and not be god, I know you find that hard to fathom. You're hung up on the idea of "creation" and "destruction" the reality is human concepts and idea's break down when dealing with nature. You're reasoning from the concepts you've derived from human sized world (aka models your brain developed to deal with human sized world). William James sidis thought the universe was similar to a circuit and that we are on one side of the universe and there is a universe that mirrors ours going in the opposite direction. The point being that those who espouse God usually always have an idea of who/what god is and a book with teachings that go against what we know about the universe.
William James Sidis, the animate and inanimate (for those interested).
"The Bible is actually quite encouraging of knowledge, even showing something of a kickarse attitude towards deliberate ignorance."
Except the biblical god was not smart enough to invent cellular camera phones and save us all. Inefficiency is opposed to a loving god. Omnipotence is contradictory to inefficiency.
Religious people can't think straight to save their lives. If the bible god was hired at a business for saving mankind, and he chose the worst and most inefficient method to communicate his message. Anyone with a brain would have fired the bastard. AKA if you're god is inefficient, he can't be omnipotent nor loving, and hence you're god can't exist.
"I still don't understand why people drop Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, but stick with Jesus. Hasn't everybody read The Emperor's New Clothes?"
Learn the science:
"Indeed. I shouldn't be, but am quite amazed with how people abuse their votes, and WILLFULLY put ignorant imbeciles in congress. And then don't even have enough shame to rectify the mistake."
See what science has discovered about the brain.
>The little boost you get from all your apps on an SSD just isn't worth $600. T
500GB SSD's have dropped below $400 quite a few times on sales.
... the problem with buying a small SSD is that you'll just want to upgrade anyway later. So you should just take the plunge and get a reasonably sized SSD so that you can run common intensive apps off the SSD. Traditional HD's are just for storage/movies/big stuff. Most people only use a few common programs at a time so having enough space on an SSD for things you use frequently is a must. It just makes your life that much easier and you won't have to upgrade until many years later when program sizes or some new tech forces the issue.
... of money a long time ago. How money interacts with the law (concepts of property) is what's at issue. Money acts as a substitute for the earths energy and resources. The problem comes when you add rules to the game and add in exploitation, greed and the whole nine yards.
Just thought I'd pass this along to everyone.
... the reality is most games today are clones or don't have enough development money/time behind them to be particularly interesting or deep. 9/10 games released today are crap or released way before they are even ready (battlefield 4, etc) and these are supposed to be major fucking releases. The whole game industry is run by incompetents, conmen and morons.
The reality is developers/publishers themselves are flooding the market with low quality games and putting all sorts of shit in their games that lower their value (DRM/Microtransactions/etc). There will always be a place for good games, the problem is there are still many problems to solve in development costs and tools to drive down game costs and make building large AAA projects better. The game industry has a long way to go.
"so in other words, some owners have more say than others, depending on their view... got it....."
One view is based on science and facts, the other is not. Right wingers are known to reject science and the laws of nature in general as a majority of their base believes in superstitious nonsense. The more sensible and intelligent corporate types know they can't survive on fairy tales and want evidence and science.
... morons.
Nowhere can this clearly be seen more than in the videogame industry, with the rise of STEAM DRM and the gullible people who lap it all up while gaming history (games you can own, modify, and not be spied on, watched, datamined) is going down in flames. Console players are among the most stupid on the planet, so videogame consoles would be an easy in for any government wanting to spy on its citizens.
The planet is just filled with stupid illiterate fucks who breed and pay for this shit because they don't have the brain cells to rub together to understand the implications sadly. They'll fork over any amount of money to feed their game addiction sadly all while being gouged, fleeced, DRM'd and DLC'd up and down six ways to sunday.
... and the small percentage of feeders are ruining videogames as a whole. It sucks that these people exist, they are fucking up gaming.
