Hollywood has a severe idea shortage.

He notes that the US needs to limit trade with China to items we can't get anywhere else. He says not to supply China with the rope that will be used to hang the US on.

1. Not bloody likely.
2. Too fucking late.

China plans for the long term

Well, duh.

People who have been looking at China for the past two decades have been screaming this at the top of their lungs, only for this concept to fall on deaf ears. The US has forgotten about the lesson of Samuel Slater, and China has picked it up and they are schooling us.

Where the manufacturing goes, so does the science and engineering. And that's what the Chinese want. They want what we had and we're giving it to them hand-over-fist for short term profits.

The "problem" is cultural, and it is entirely self-made.

And it ain't gonna get fixed until US businesses start looking at the long term, which has about the same chance of happening as a snowball's chance in Hell.

DDoSed? Like, say, when everyone and their dog gets the new game and connects to them at the same time?

For reference, look at ... hell, any game with that always-on crap in the more recent past and the disaster that ensued every time.

Care to cite ANY game that is fun AND needs to "see" you?

And it only runs on domestic fuel. No cheap filling up 'cross the border.

Well, at least we entertain MS on their way to the graveyard. When you get there, tell the Dreamcast we said "hi".

I don't know about you, but I tend to want to use a product I pay for in the way I normally do. And I don't think the vendor has the right to tell me I cannot if he doesn't so please, or retract it, even for a refund.

I bought it, you sold it, it's MINE to use. If you don't agree to this contract, I will not buy.

I'm not so sure whether it really is a good idea to beef up some anti-social lonewolves before sending them out against the rest of humanity...

And it's that latter part, i.e. "and causes the patient significant trouble or distress" that is very often overlooked, especially in kids.

I really wonder how many of our kids that "need" some kind of psychoactive drug would be perfectly happy without.

It's going to be a long time before anyone holds another major international meeting in London. Geneva, maybe.

This makes little sense. The purpose of using encryption is to prevent someone tapping into the conversation and hearing what you are saying. The NSA is instead going to each of the people you talk to and asking "what did russotto say?" and getting an answer in real time. Encryption does NOTHING to change this.

"Gaming is essentially childish"
in no way is that true.

A) no one is selling you women.
B) "They are drawing my attention to thigh-high boots, to low-cut shirts, and, frankly, to the hard work of a really expensive bra."
So? why it's it their fault you can see past that?

Jeez, that was the most pathetic attempt at calling something sexism I have ever seen.
