That post is SO full of FAIL. I will not even bother to start addressing what you got wrong there. I will summarize with : all of it.

Perhaps working class people don't want to ask for a handout, and don't want to pay for someone else's either?

Does this ring a bell: "I ain't asking nobody for nothin', I can get it all on my own...." ?

While I do see truth in much of what Glenn Beck and others say, I do take a similar stand to yours on "trickle down economics". It did work well in the Reagan era. I believe we are in a different era now, with different dynamics. We produce FAR less real anything, and have a large portion of our economy derived from the stock market.
The stock market, in my opinion, is just money arbitrarily assigned to pieces of entities with dubious value or real worth. Of course, I must disclose that I genuinely believe that the "market" is bad for us at this point. So many people making a living off of money is bound to end badly.

^^ This ^^

Unless they use that tactic involving passing on a majority only.

You shouldn't have to post AC to say the truth. I see you feel you do have to post AC for fear of retribution.

The truth was told, so good enough.

I don't need the government to coddle me with any counseling. I don't want the government fucking with MY medical records. The United States government was never meant to do much of what is is doing now.

Do you have actual PROOF Glenn Beck is making ANYTHING up, or are you just shaking your head in a "me too" fashion here. Remember that a lie repeated often enough can be -percieved- as truth. It is still a lie.

It is SO telling that this spew of wannabe-intellectual vitriol is modded insightful. What is sad is what is being told by this. It's pretty obvious to even my low-brow self that this site is overwhelmingly populated by people who believe that it is a bright sunny day (Obama's stimulus and helath care changes are making private sector jobs, and saving lives), when it is actually raining dog piss (ever increasing unemployment, insecure borders, trillions added to the deficit, states going into default, Obama Care being amended so if adds to the deficit.....etc), and they are standing out in it praising the bringer of the warm yellow sunshine.

The only thing I see is that Bush fucked up, followed by Obama promising transparency, jobs, a recession recovery, reduced deficit, Guantanamo closing, and Health care for all at a net profit to the government budget.
None of the promises are kept. NONE. Automakers are now part owned by the government AND the unions. States are going into default. We are going to give amnesty to illegal immigrants. We don't get 3 days to review bills and amendments as promised..... Fuck the list gets bigger almost daily. Liberals wanted to lynch the Executive over the BUSINESS aspects of BP oil for going on vacation mid-crisis, while our African(Kenya born, I maintain) overlord goes on multiple grand vacations while the bulk of us are mired in the deepest recession since Reagan entered office.

Left, Right, Center. I don't give a fuck. In fact, I am third-gen Irish don't give a fuck, and even I can see that the ENTIRETY of our government is self-serving and forever growing in scope and control.

If I were an intellectual, would I somehow suddenly like another person telling me that I HAVE to wear a seat belt, and that I must help pay for entitlements for lazy people as well as legitimately forced into poverty? Would I somehow become ignorant of the fact that Social Security is failing due to all of those government written IOUs over the past 2 decades?

God, please make me smart enough to become oblivious to the obvious.

I call B.S. I grew up with 1st edition. 4th has countless modifiers to every aspect. Another ridiculous characteristic is a large number of "powers" for melee classes. Give me a break. I look at my wizard, and see my daughter's Ranger has a similar number of powers. It's garbage. 4th edition is modeled closely to MMOs and similar games. Every one has a tray of "powers", and you are a striker, healer, aoe caster, or defender.

Garbage.

Let's see:
DM Guide
Player's Handbook
Monster Manual
Monster Manual II

Yep, that's it.
The rest are modules, or TRULY optional, like Deities and Demigods.

I don't know what 1st edition YOU played, but there weren't even 6 books in the first five years of the one I played's existence. Not sayong you are lying, but, well, okay, I AM saying you are lying. There were never 30 BOOKS for first edition, much less 50. GTFO.

Actually, many of the other books include spells, rituals, and powers from level 1 on up. New classes and paths are also included.

Oh, and just to make it more enticing, the added books of course will contain the "cool" (read as over powered) abilities and features.

I did. After trying to play it for over 8 hours, my daughter and I decided that it was horrible, and a complete waste of time. We could not interact, and frequently had collision issues, client crashes, and AI issues. The hack was god-awful to implement, and insufferable to play.

Do nerds only go to private schools?

2 Things:

1. You posted anonymously. This pretty much makes you afraid of being called out directly in the case of you being wrong.

2. You are completely wrong about the virus' existence. You have 1 book, while there are thousands of books and millions of changed lives (after medications became available to third world countries) on the opposing side.

You fail miserably, yet blindly persist with no objectivity. Even the Irish aren't that foolish. I'm 4th generation or so thinly diluted Irish, and third generation "don't give a fuck", so I am pretty sure of my cultural stance.

You are thinking about it kind of wrong. At the physical layer, one bit. At the software layer, it can and maybe will be a symbol or other compression done by ASICs. The difficulty with compression is that more data comes up missing per bad sector/bit of media.

I am speaking in general terms because I am very removed from industry specific knowledge of hard drives.
