Yep. I have a 465.66 gibibyte hard drive.

So instead of paying to be legal, you tell us to pay to use a service (newsgroups/vpn/seedbox) that can still allow you to be flagged criminal? I though the main goal of piracy was not to pay at all

Another reason is so that you can have DRM-free content that you won't be expected to keep paying for in perpetuity, or be forced to sit through ads beforehand/during to be allowed to watch.

Not to mention that they generally agree with Obama's more fascist policies.

Quite right. I propose a new law that only peanut farmers be allowed to run for presidency.

Regarding these drone strikes (and indefinite detention, for that matter) I've been silent because I don't understand the controversy

You don't see a problem with killing innocents in double-tap operations and dodgy definitions of enemy combatants as "anyone who gets killed by our drones", nor holding people indefinitely without charge? I don't think there's anything more to say, really. Just, fuck you if you really believe that.

The War on Terror is deliberately blurry to the point that any organization suspected of subversion can be considered an enemy. Even if they aren't citizens, does that make it just? You live in a fantasy world where the U.S. government can do no wrong.

That's what you get in a country where all the kids are brought up to be "proud to be American", even if they abhor what their government (supported by a significant number of the general population) is doing.

Amen to nested discussions. I guess having a single flat thread for everything is easier for beginners... you just click on the thread and the posts are all meant to be "to do with the title" rather than perhaps some tangent the thread has gone off on. That said, threads do and will go off on tangents, so nested-threading is a great way to acknowledge that.

I basically agree. Strangely, the "log in" screen is inferior IMHO to Stack Exchanges, which implements a proper full-on OpenID login; this just has the usual suspects (log in with Google, log in with Facebook...)

Talk to each other? They virtually are each other!

"from Facebook"? So people can post to here directly from Facebook now? I can see the quality going downhill fast.....

So they edited out the scenes where guys could be seen holding weapons.

Weapons that could take down a helicopter gunship?

The historical incompatiblity of the korean and chinese ethnicities (including a lack of common writing or spoken language even though part of the same language family)

Well it would only be temporary wouldn't it? Most would move back to Korea once it was restored.

Surely Seoul could be evacuated quickly, and rebuilt once NK was defeated and there was a united Korea. It sucks, but South Korea has done a great job of developing quickly over the last 50 years and I'm sure they could do it again even more quickly.

China, a country with a vast land mass, a vast economy, and 1.5 BILLION people, are worried about being able to absorb a few million NK refugees? I'm not buying that one.

Care to mention which supplier this is you use?
