Am I the only one that very strongly hates that if I buy a new game from Gamestop and sell it back a month later, i'll get $10 back, but they'll gladly sell it to other people for $55. (woo, $5 cheaper). Gamestop provides absolutely no value to the gaming market with their used game money.
This is clearly a disconnect between the price you felt the game was worth and what GameStop feels it is worth. This is no different from a car dealer accepting a trade-in for below value and selling it for considerable more. If you want to hustle the game on craigslist, or wherever, you can get closer to that $55 dollars, but if you want to take the easy route and throw it to GameStop, you won't get as good a price.

They only did a study on plugins. They must be assuming that WordPress itself is super secure. Bad assumption.

That doesn't really indicate which company has been doing it longer or better. You know Peter Moore didn't start everything at EA in 2007, right?

I'm really curious though, if there was a Mass Effect 4, would you "have" to buy it? That's really what they live on, getting people sucked in and shoveling shit their way.

Fatigue is not a phenomena found exclusively in metals. Plastics and composities experience fatigue as well. Take a small piece of plastic like a toothpick and bend it back and forth many times and see what happens. In addition, fatigue is not the only way that a material can fail.
Unless you have some case studies indicating longer life, you're just guessing.

I am referring to all of the lawyers that would argue either side of a case depending on which side offered them more money. These people are not driven by an inner sense of justice and making the world a better place, but simply following their own motivations of greed and rationalizing away any negative effects their greedy actions are causing society.
It's almost like it's a job for them to argue cases, not some quest to improve the world.

I think we've seen that the profiles and search patterns used could easily be abused. I seem to recall that the IRS was recently targeting specific groups of citizens. How can you be so confident that the NSA will never make a search pattern that matches you at some point?
The fact that data they collect on an individual doesn't get used does not lessen their ability to use it at some time in the future.

Yeah, but couldn't you hope that people stop shooting out babies rather than hope that worldwide wars and famines take care of it? I know that's not realistic. I kind of share the GP's sentiment. Who hopes for famine and war?
