In the 80s, I preferred Gary Larson anyways.

Actually, during the 90's, Iron Maiden kind of sucked. When Bruce Dickenson left, they they weren't as good without him. And his solo career got nowhere without them. In 2000, he returned though, and ever since they have been even better than they were in the 80's. Now, over their past 4 albums, they have shown that they are one of the best Prog-metal around. It's been a great comeback

Go read Nancy Kress' novel Beggars in Spain. She had an answer to that question, and probably not not one you would like. When those in power realized they no longer needed the underclasses, the lower classes were eliminated. With prejudice, outside the US, at least. Seems grimly plausible to me.

It could of been about the glory in Uranus.

Because in the world of technology, things advance whether you like it or not.

I have to say that I have been on /. for a decade or more now, and this the most moronic post I have yet had the displeasure to read. Good job sir, and good luck with your blind trust in authority. History shows that it has served humanity so well.

Never understood this line of thought. Sure, hardware will cost a little more on the PC side, but the cost of software will more than make up for that over time. When I can get a PC title for 25% the price of its console equivalent this argument makes no sense. In the next generation of consoles, software prices are getting a sharp increase, thus making an even better argument for PC gaming

Odd. My experience has mostly been the opposite. Also, companies are made up of people, how can they be evil, if the people in them are not?

If joining society means I have to put up with loudmouth twatcuddles like you, no thanks

In the end, I have to so the fark what? If we reject in their entirety the ideas of a person who holds some views that we disagree with, we would quickly have no ideas left Yes he was a racist, but also a good writer. Everyone has bad parts.

As I am finding in reading quantum theory, common sense is usually wrong

Yeah, yelling and screaming will certainly get people to see your point of view. Here, try it for yourself:

Next time you want to reason with someone, you stupid, shit-for-brains numbnut fuckwit, don't scream at them.

And if you aren't interested in reasoning with them, don't bother.

This is a great example of why I love the internet: it's full of loud-mouthed idiots who refute their point while trying to prove it.

No, Schrödinger's camel toe

This is what I think Blizz/Activision will say if you complain. What are you gonna do, go play another game? Even though they are losing subscribers, they have enough that they really don't care. I don't play WoW, nor do I even like it, but I have some relatives who are so addicted to it that Blizzard executives could break into their house and rape their children, and they would give it a pass. This is meaningless on that scale.
