*PSST*

If people are filing bankruptcy due to medical bills chances are they're not able to pay them, thus supporting very point you're trying to argue against.

Somebody is paying for those medical bills that people cant afford and are losing their homes over. If you start off so wrong from the beginning... can we really trust anything else you've got to say?

Sadly no, I was a fool and pre-ordered BF3, and sadly have since sworn the franchise off (did play BF4 beta...not worth it). Anyway...

Punkbuster is built directly into BF3 and has given me nothing but problems. its actually the main reason I dont play BF3. It refuses to update automatically for some reason, and the only way to fix it is to manually update it through a horrible little download application. This will usually fix it for about 2-3 days then goes back to randomly kicking you from games because PB is not up to date, but wont give you an error message, you just get dropped. So whast that a PB issue, or was it a lag/server kick for ping/random drop/internet cutting out problem? Will take a few more attempts before I figure it out.

Between that and never figuring out how to join games with a friend, I just gave up on BF3. It doesn't want to work, and I dont have the time or energy to babbysit it.

Yes, lets rant about how prissy the 12 year old girl was for taking her own life. Because we all know 12 year olds (girl or boy) are capable of handling things like an adult should, in your perfect world.

This has been going on for years, just not 'liscenced' like this is. My mother for example, after my father died, joined an IRC channel for support of people who have lost loved ones to Cancer. She ended up becoming a major person to the group and helped many people through what she had to deal with, while getting help herself for her own issues from the loss of my father

If this holds true, I can sort of see why that might be. Given the time and lifestyle involved in such times, women were not really allowed to do much of anything. They were, in many cases, owned by the male.

blowing colorful pain on ones hand almost seems to me like something you'd discover by mistake if you were bored enough. You take human beings and put them in a situation where they're not allowed to do much more than raise a child and you'll have them invent some pretty interesting side projects im sure. The males would be too busy out killing one another or hunting an animal or two. You'd naturally have a mix but I could see why a majority of artwork would end up getting done by females.

That's the trick. This does both, sadly neither where you might expect it to.

Oh I agree, you shouldn't be modded troll. You should be modded off-topic because nobody cares if you feel this belongs on the site or not.

Get over yourself.

This guy is known for running a website that supports the First Amendment but he argues that the Fifth is a a detriment to society?

So you have the right to openly and freely speak your mind, but you dont have the right to NOT openly and freely speak your mind? Could you please cite some arguments on how these two views dont completly contradict one another?

Or are you just speaking out your back end? I'll simply asume you're wrong until you speak to me directly about it, because clearly by choosing not to speak you are admiting I am correct. See how that works?

Random Corp cant hold a gun to my head. Great, I feel so much better.

They can however, prevent me from obtaining employment (and being self-employed is not always an option folks), obtaining credit (That's an awfully nice credit score you have there...be a shame if something...happened...to it.), track my every movement through various means, take me to court on bogus charges then drop them forcing me to miss days of work to defend myself (if I am already employed), or bill me for services they did not provide and force me to spend more time and money fighting them in court.

They might not be able to kill me, but they sure as heck can make me want to kill myself. Is that really any better?

Of course not, those people are still stuck trying to read through the first half of The Silmarillion.

I think we need some actual specs before we can make such a judgement.

Based on what we've been told, im assuming its going to work more or less like a normal PC currently, switch in and out hardware as you please, but we dont nessisarily know that for sure yet. There might be 'options' but it may be limited to whats supported by the OS or something. I think its safe to say this will change the landscape, in my opinion for the better.

Weather or not they can compete is really really hard to judge right now. What games will be coming out and supported on it? We dont know. What hardware will work and currently does work? We dont know. Is support mainly geared at PC type games or will we be getting effectivly a third console option? We dont know (though it sounds like its mainly a PC port of sorts, as opposed to a SteamMachine only release of a game).

I'd say with good support we should see them compete well, and make more profit even if they fail to sell more machines and games overall. If I had to guess, that would be my guess of how it will play out.

DEA didn't get shut down...there that was hard.

Ahh yes, exactly what we need. A dead document on delivery that lays out whats allowed and what's not, whatever happends next be damned.

The constitution was written the way it was for some very good reasons. What do you suppose is going to exist, say 100 years from now? Do you think 100 years ago anyone forsaw 3d printing? The Internet? Cell Phones? Nuclear weapons? Jet Fighters that can exceed the speed of sound?

If you write a document like that, ridged, unforgiving, you end up with something that works for about 10 years then needs to be rewritten. Abstract interpretation is very important. Its also clearly a huge problem when people take things like "secure in your papers in effects" to not cover things like Email and IM conversations, but thats more because we're a bunch of corrupt jerks than anything else.

We're just experiencing the very thing they forsaw when they wrote this thing, eventually people will corrupt anything you give them. Eventually, you're left with little choice than to take over and redo large parts of the goverment. The nice part is we have legal, non-lethal means to do that, right now. The problem is they're not being used, yet. It remains to be seen if they ever will be.

Thats sorta like asking people for a show of hands of who wants an apple, then insisting that if you dont like apples, thats not a reason to not raise your hand...
