You are wrong. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints money and the Mint produces coins. The Fed does NOT. I work(ed) for it and we just move it between commercial and private banks, physically and electronically. Thanks for reading our wikipedia page in full.

Relatively speaking, it is the same exact thing. To a 13 year old, buying a video game is just like a 30 year old buying a car. Relatively, to a 13 year old, that video game has just as much value as a car does to a 30 year old. It doesn't matter that the car costs 500-1000 times more than the game, the principal behind it is the same. Regarding your comment on the financing, there are people out there that do consider financing video games in bulk, maybe included in a package deal with a TV or something, but the games are still included in that financing. Not probably, but still possible. On the other hand, publishers could argue that the code on the physical media is licensed and not owned by the consumer. But the way around it, I think, is for consumers and Gamestop to say they are selling/buying the physical media and not the code on it. Who knows, its just the publishers trying to squeeze every penny out even if it isn't possible just like the publishers in the RIAA have been doing for the last decade.

Ello, ello, ello, ello white America assassinate my characta.

Well well, isn't someone the white supremacist? AKA douche.

Yeah. Google doesn't because its bad for business. For Facebook, there may be backlash from the regular (no pedophilic) community, but dumbed down because they say this is being used to catch pedophiles and criminals and not to just randomly read up on peoples conversations. Then again, most people on Facebook don't care about privacy and like to have their thoughts seen (the Wall).

Damn, Beiber won't be on the Battlefield 4 soundtrack?? Shit!!

Though more expensive, adding a permanent gas powered generator to your home's electrical line helps as well. Power goes out, generator kicks in.

Shut up you grammar whore

And why go with Sharp? Why not Samsung? Their picture quality surpasses that of any Aquos set I've seen. Anyway, the only thing that will make the iTV a success is the ecosystem I assume Apple will integrate.

Chill out, Mel Gibson. He could have also been there to see how the country was doing.

A quick Google definition search: toy/toi/ Noun: An object for a child to play with, typically a model or miniature replica of something. An object, esp. a gadget or machine, regarded as providing amusement for an adult: "in 1914 the car was still a rich man's toy". Bam!!

Where you work is not where almost everyone else in the world works, buddy. You can't replace the nations banking, trading, medical, and _____ infrastructure with iDevices, or Android devices, or :cough.crapberries:. I don't know what you do, it really doesn't matter, but you are wrong. iPads are mainly used as consumer toys, not IT solutions (which is maybe 1-5% at this point).

Also, as the /. blurb, wouldn't this just increase the consumption for addicts since they cannot get the high they're looking for with "normal" doses, they would just increase the dosage. Right? "..makes the body resistant to the effects of heroin, so users would no longer get a rush of pleasure when they smoked or injected it." So they are still addicted and will feel the withdrawal effects and will then start smoking/injecting more of the substance.

The guy knew the consequences. I'm not saying its right from a human rights perspective, but he knew would could happen. The law is relative in different countries. Throwing someone in prison here for theft is the same as chopping off a hand of a thief in the old Iraq, relatively speaking. I'm sure people there who respect their laws are saying us Americans are a bunch of pussies for throwing people in prison instead of more serious punishments. In my opinion it should be an eye for an eye in the world. But back to what this guy did, he shouldn't be put to death, maybe a slap on the wrist will do it, but still. he knew what he was getting himself into..shit, he fled the country after doing it.

Please tell us why Windows is "shit".
