This just in... obvious fanboi is obvious.

"They aren't trying do help at all" - no, clearly Microsoft has done nothing to improve the security of their OSes in the last decade. At least in the bizarro world you live in. Wouldn't it be great if they released a great, free product like Microsoft Security Essentials? That would be awesome. If only that happened.

The fact that you believe vulnerability to viruses is "a loophole" means you don't even know what the words you're using mean.

My problem with internet cafes, particularly those where the computers are provided, using them is really just begging to have all your personal info recorded or hacked. God only knows what crap they have loaded on those things, and frankly I'd be shocked if someone isn't running a chain of these places solely with the intent of stealing identities/accounts.

Jesus Christ... That's exactly the purpose of the freedom of information movement - to ensure that public institutions that do stupid or embarrassing things have to account for them publicly.

It's like refusing to investigate a crime because you might uncover someone's criminal activity...

Comment The Existing Gamer's Bill of Rights (Score 1) 469

You have the right to keep your money in your wallet. If you choose to keep your money in your wallet, you have the right to not remain silent and can and should tell companies why you refuse to buy their games.

You have the right to wait, and not buy a game the instant it is released. You have the right to read actual reviews from actual players who have played the actual game as released and then make an informed decision.

If you decide to buy a game and it sucks you have the right to tell the company that you aren't going to buy any more of their shitty games. You also have the right to cry like a girl online.

There - a gamer's bill of rights, with the added bonus that it already exists.

People like you crack me up. You do realize that a drone is just a weapons platform right? If you can conceive of a reason why the US government might reasonable kill an American citizen with a pistol, a shotgun, an assault rifle, or a tank, why would the use of a drone somehow be any different? Surely the test is whether or not the killing was legal, not what weapons platform was used to deliver the strike. OMG, they haz robots!!!!!
