It's quite simple - Obama wants the monopoly on spying on US Citizens. If an advertising firm wants private information on you, they should pay the Feds premium $$ for it.

I don't think that actually works...

Occasionally, when the justice system fails, a lynch mob does in fact go after the right person for the right reasons.

Does that mean lynch mobs should be cheered?

Well if you prove that A = Not A, you're certainly going to give mathematicians and physicists everywhere a heart attack.

Be glad your universe doesn't have black holes...

So I'm not sure they have the right to be offering those games for free.

And yet lawyers fire these weapons at innocent jury members every day.

The police did the right thing. This guy is obviously a gamer, which means he is an expert in all forms of combat, including multiple styles of hand-to-hand martial arts, every weapon under the sun, and black magic.

This has nothing to do with computers. She should be banned from driving for life.

Why do you need the neural scanner for that? It's not her mind we're interested in!

Now I've never used Facebook, so maybe I'm missing something ... but status update? Are there many assassins scouring random Facebook profiles for job statuses, or did this guy hope one of his friends would do this?

Wouldn't Twitter be better for this?

I've only played the first Postal game, which I won in some internet contest. Hated it, traded it away for The 7th Guest.

And yet, I will say that it is extremely cynical to judge any developer/publisher by something that the soulless entity that is Epic did.

From your link: "The notice from Amazon arrived at the workforce commission about 9:30 a.m. today, and said that the Irving facility â" which opened in 2005 and is known as a fulfillment center â" will close on April 13."
