I hope they can get the same voice actor for Gordon.

Also not all PCs have CD-ROM drives.
I replied to correct your error. I was quite specific in my response and you inappropriately tried to turn that into a generalization.
Yep, I tried to draw meaning from your snippy retort. Guess there wasn't any there to begin with.
have no interest in debating the position of every past, present, or future recipient of the award
So why did you even respond a second time? Denying the applicability to the other nominees sure sounds like debate.
So what? You didn't dispute the basis of my post, are you doing so now? Under what rationale? Or was it really just another way for your to be snippy about some group you don't like?
An award will make no difference whatsoever in prosecuting Snowden
So your position is that the award is of no value to any of the recipients. Thanks for sharing.
There is a new design?
As far as I can tell, it looks the same way it has for years. I have the old mode setting turned on though. Even before Dice showed up all the javascript bullshit just made things suck. If only you could get the old-mode without actually logging in.
Awards are for those that need them.
Pissing off the US Govt. may mean that Snowden is happy with that
Yes, that was clearly Snowden's goal. Social change, government by consent, he didn't even think about that hippy-dippy stuff.
No award is going to protect that girl from more attacks by the Taliban. They don't give a damn about what the west thinks about her, if anything they'll see it as a challenge - once again the west trying to attack their religion. But if the award goes to Snowden it makes it that much harder for the US to put him in prison.
If the US tried to put Mandela in prison for being a terrorist, the way SA did before he received the award, the political blow-back would be enormous.
Forget little dinky nano-tubes in your ears, a real man would put plasma arcs in their headphones. Like this:
If only Monica Lewinsky had ingested, instead of getting it on her dress...
What governments would those be which are restrained by the law, let alone common decency?
A representative government is a product of the law so of course it is restrained by the law. Just because individual actors within the government aren't 100% restrained by the law does not invalidate the principle that a representative government operates within the law.
The alternative to your nihilism is pure might-makes-right. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
