A small handful of the apps available actually explain this to you, which i thought was a nice touch. They actually go down the list of permissions required and say why it is they need them.
If you want all 32 games you'll have to pay $34.99. Not bad at all, but not "pay what you want." Also seems to me that there were a lot more games from back in the day with the Interplay name on them, not just these 32.
"Terrorism is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well. The makers of this film have terrorised 1.6 billion people."
Wrong. True terrorism involves stripping the victims of their choice. They have no choice but to be terrorized. Nobody in the West sat down with guns to your heads and forced you to watch the video. As with most things, you have a choice to be offended or not, to watch, or not. Stop being stupid, don't watch it, and don't be offended. Pretty simple.
Wow. Rush Limbaugh, is that you?
Seriously, how the fuck did such ignorant hateful rubbish get modded as "insightful"?
The only thing I can agree with in your narrow minded conservative diatribe is that we should not be apologizing for our freedom of speech. The rest of your nonsense is borderline racist and a whole lot of arm waiving.
...is so mentally exhausting. I can't roll my eyes hard enough at this.
It takes me mere moments to decide what I'm going to wear each day, and the same goes for what I eat for breakfast, etc. Even when it does take me a few minutes to decide, it's not like I wrack my brain over it.
...the fact that an organization that has human rights worldwide as core functions is hosting something in a known hotbed of human trafficking and slavery?
$Deity what a fucking farce.
What, if I yank the battery and then put it back and start up, it will resume the process? Granted you'd probably have to be super fast for that to help, but still...
...would print a friend of mine a new kidney. I have shot veins in my lower legs at age 34, have to wear compression stockings all the time. But I can cope. My friend, she has Polycystic Kidney Disease. I've already promised her one of mine if she ever gets to that point and we're compatible, but being able to print her up a fully functioning kidney would be awesome.
...is that they harp on the issues of UTIs and STDs/STIs. Those are things that are easily avoidable, and not at all the fault of having a foreskin. If baby gets a UTI, mommy and daddy need to do a better job cleaning baby up and cleaning baby sooner. If, as a man, the person has issues with STDs/STIs, well gee stop being a moron having unprotected/risky sex Einstein.
Trying to lump the added medical costs is the same. The costs brought on are not due to the foreskin, they are due to the creators of the baby, and/or the owner of the penis.
Not quite so easy if it's a security Torx. That center pin blocks your flathead pretty well.
You have a right to your opinion. But guess what? You only out yourself as a pretentious douchebag when you continually harp on the guy for his choice in dining. Who the hell are you exactly to question him or his choices, or talk as if you've any business judging him for those choices? That there are other places to eat, and whether or not *you* deem them as better doesn't enter the equation, because it is all personal choice and subjective. You make it worse when you seem to somehow equate your personal distaste with his choice with justifying his treatment at said establishment.
Wow, this and another perfectly reasonable response have been downvoted to -1. Way to go
Nah, fuck that, it's a privacy invasion and fuck anyone who disagrees, downvote, downvote, downvote!
His choice of establishment to get food has no bearing on the events or himself. It does, however, have a decent bearing on how much of a pretentious douchebag you make yourself out to be by bringing it up. No worries though, there appear to be quite a few of you out there who want to pick on the guy for being at a McDonalds, as if that somehow legitimizes the assault or otherwise matters one whit in the events that happened (hint: they don't).
I'd have no qualms with these scenarios if they only were ever used to aid the people. But the problem is that as has been pointed out, this is unlikely. It will be used as a vehicle to monetize people, and the government and various entities will want unrestricted access to it for the most trivial of "offenses" if they can even be stretched to fit the definition of the word. Big Brother and Big Business would love nothing more than to be able to get inside your head.
Kind of sad that some of the greatest ideas and inventions cannot come to fruition or likely won't see widespread use because of the ways they could be abused far outstrip the legitimate and helpful uses.
Recently Emily White, an intern at NPR All Songs Considered and GM of what appears to be her college radio station, wrote a post on the NPR blog in which she acknowledged that while she had 11,000 songs in her music library, sheâ(TM)s only paid for 15 CDs in her life. Our intention is not to embarrass or shame her.
Based on their wording, it appears they are blatantly painting it as if because she's only purchased 15 CDs, her 11,00 songs must all be pirated. However, she clearly states:
But I didn't illegally download (most) of my songs. A few are, admittedly, from a stint in the 5th grade with the file-sharing program Kazaa. Some are from my family. I've swapped hundreds of mix CDs with friends. My senior prom date took my iPod home once and returned it to me with 15 gigs of Big Star, The Velvet Underground and Yo La Tengo (I owe him one).
Yes, she admits she might have some ill gotten music, but most of it was bought and paid for. All of Mr Lowery's math seems to be based on this retarded conclusion that all of her music is pirated, when it isn't. His whole argument is based on the same incorrect conclusion. At this point, I have already stopped reading what he has to say, because he's a moron. All of the people singing his praises clearly can't read either, or they'd have caught this too.
