Completely agree, it's become this weird fucking fanboy attitude like you are rooting for your favorite sports team that can do no wrong. A two party system is broken at it's core. I can't stand either party, but it's funny how if I post a comment critical of one of the parties it automatically makes me a republican Nazi or a Libtard by half the respondents. They all just assume everyone is part of this sick red/blue liberal/conservative crazy divisiveness that is destroying the country. Sadly the few alternatives ran absolute shit candidates which is just as frustrating. It becomes the lesser of two evils game where everyone loses except the evils.

As the IT manager at a company that has a sister company in China this sucks. As it is they block DropBox, OneDrive, Google, etc. which makes transferring large files a pain in the ass. They are also trying to force everyone to use WeChat which I don't trust at all, so I'm expecting Skype to have even more issues then it does now when using it in China. They really make life hell for IT who have to deal with them and this will be the icing on the cake. I don't understand how they intend to do business globally if they keep making it so difficult to deal with all the restrictions.

I am really hoping this will be good as a star wars fan and an Ex-Wow addict. However, and take this with the requisite grain of salt, I've heard from two different people working on this project that it's got alot of issues and they don't have alot of hope it will turn out great. They complain there is way too much focus on things like voice acting for every single character and not enough on gameplay and combat. It's supposedly not even in alpha testing internally so I doubt we'll see it this year, unless they rush it which I really hope they don't

Sorry I don't see how more STEM students in the U.S. could possibly drive down salary more then thousands of offshored people working for a fraction of the salary as someone in the US. Jut look at U.S. Lawyers to see that over abundance of students doesn't mean lower salaries if they are all in the U.S..

Well they wouldn't have a lot of leeway to rewrite the ending I would think, so nothing to worry about there. Also alot of people compared the endings to those two epic series. While I was really disappointed in the ending of Lost, I have to adminit they kept me riveted every week for 6 years and that says something.

Ugh, when JJ Abrams and the Lost writters were attached to this I had hope that they could actually do this thing justice. While Ron Howard is alright, really not overly impressed with him, akiva goldsman IS HORRIBLE. The guy completely sucks and guarantees this is going to be an abomination. Such a shame too because the book are amazing. As for the Movie to TV split, very interesting way to come at it, but only if the tv show is on HBO, wattered down regular tv is not going to cut it.

Sadly this is one of the biggest problems with out country today. The biggest bane to Capitalism is a monopoly. And unfortunately almost every major product we buy be it power, automobiles, computers, food, media, etc. has a group of three or four huge companies that completely control that market. They get together and price fix, control the market, and even control the laws and regulations that are supposed to keep them in check. These types of collusion are no good except for the people at the top of these companies and their stock holders.

This guy was a scientist who knew better. I agree lots of stupid teenage girls might go this way, but it makes no sense that someone trained in the field would do himself in like this.

No it's not the full reason behind it, but it was sent to the media and key democrats who might have opposed the Patriot act. Enough to scare anyone who was going to vote no, and if not scare at least errode their position that it's not needed. This stinks to high heaven of a cover up.

Exactly. These were used on us by our own military to push through the Patriot act. That poor guy was used as the scape goat. I know people love to call these conspiracy theorists a bunch of wackjobs but it seems more and more like we are the idiots for sticking our head in the sands while this goes on all around us.
