Console games are roughly like their PC counterparts nowadays. Consoles are basically specialized computers. The only notable feature the PC versions of games sometimes have that the console ones do not is the ability to mod them using toolkits the developer provides. And that is pretty rare still. I can only think of three games that have been released on consoles and PCs that this is relevant for.

Sometimes they get dumbed down versions, or versions that are just ignored after release. From my understanding, Team Fortress 2 for PS3/360 sucks compared to PC because they never update it, and you can do ancient map exploits on them, and etc. But that isn't too common.

Yeah, because dropping a few nukes a few of our own cities to stop a small rebellion would sure go over well.

Are you being serious?

Armed resistance of any kind would likely not involve weapons designed strictly for international deterrence... Of course, the US public is still not well armed, but comparatively better than the Australian, and most western nations' public.

Because it was a crime against US soil. The reported damages were made on US soil. When you commit a crime on X's soil, you should be prosecuted by X, if you are to be at all.

Hate speech is different for the reason being it damages regardless of nationality of the server. It isn't a crime against a server, rather, an attack against a class of people.

It's a little button, usually at the top right of your browser, that looks like an "X".

Grandparent never said you wouldn't get your search results. But it remains true that the searches, were it not for advertising, have little economic worth to google.

Google makes money through its advertisements. Google's real customers are those who have their links in the search results, and you the searcher, are the product that makes those companies want their links there.

Getting good search results consistently helps ensure the shelves are never bare.

The definition of real robot does require it be autonomous, but being tethered to a power supply is not a restriction for a robot. Not any definition I have ever seen.

Of course, rarely do people use the term that strictly, specifically in the military, where such robots would often not be preferred to human controlled ones. I.e. A completely autonomous Predator drone would be very very bad, if it was to actually determine what is or is not a threat on its own and blow the brains out of what is and avoid harming what is not. "Robots" they send into warfare, that I know of, are all controlled by humans, but make their tasks easier or safer (such as remote observance or bomb defusing, etc.)

Yeah. You know. Just like the PS3. A well built Japanese product that basically never gives yellow lights of death.

owait.

(Bad generalization was bad)

Yeah, this confused me too when I saw that they were selling a Fallout trilogy. I thought it would include FO3 as well, and for a considerably low price. Read the description, and realized it didn't. I ended up buying it a few months later anyhow, as the original series runs great on my netbook.

There is skill in a lot of gambling games. Notably Poker.

Not only that, but we can have the breeder reactors make more reactors. We can video tape them and sell the videos to some naughty website. These things will really pay for themselves and then some.

Then release two versions of each title, a red and blue version. The red version has half of the enemies, and the blue one has the rest.

The "Fairness Doctrine", while I strongly dislike it, doesn't seek to do this. Fairness doctrine attempts to create "unbalanced" reporting by forcing holders of broadcast licenses to give equal time, but not for candidates, rather, controversial issues. Notice that it is not requiring, in any way, the broadcasters be American. Nationality has nothing to do with the Fairness Doctrine.

Yet many models other than capitalism can sound as absolutely as insane as this baseless straw man if you go grossly out of your way to make it so.

Of course, that is why /nobody/ is advocating pure capitalism and /nobody/ is advocating pure socialism, or pure communism or pure environmentalism or whatever. All such purities can be made into absurdities.

A game were fluffy white bunnies are hidden in a snowy field and you have to quickly click them or otherwise they will run off and you don't get a little kiss and hug.
