So we actually learn more about our own media from this story than the story itself. A responsible media wouldn't publish a story like this until they actually had the FACTS. What did the kid really say? He is obviously lying in the quote. This is a biased one sided story with no fact checking or research. It's an inflammatory headline grab trying to manipulate their audience. They are just looking to grab eyes with headlines that have no meaning.

Insert Hansolo joke here.

Was I the only one who hoped this was an effort to address the real issue of pirates off the coast of Somalia? Millions of dollars in ransoms being funneled into black markets and mafias. That sounds to me like a bigger problem for our security. Somehow that seems like a more important issue for the Federal Government to deal with. You know, provide for the common defense and all. My mistake, its just a power grab by big corporations.

Right, so when you type "hunter32" all we can see is "********". It's really quite cleaver don't you think.

Oh, I see. My mistake. I thought it was a tax/fee but only because I thought the cost of electricity was the cost to get the coal/gas out of the ground and make it into electricity. I didn't realize the government was subsidizing this cost artificially. Your right, the true cost of electricity is much much higher. How much more will it cost when we have to get all the CO2 back out of the air (5x, 20x, 1000x). It's not like CO2 collectors grow on trees.

This sounds like a great idea. Government can fix our demand problem by raising taxes and fees. Its a win win. The government will have more money, we all have less annoying choice of what we want. And with all the new money the government can do things like have free bread days. We can just line up and get our free bread. Heck, this world sounds so good, I think I'll quit my job now and get in line. Utopia achieved.

If your password is even remotely similar to those listed, you should change it.

Seriously, this game was epic. The game concept of discovering a new world and exploring the entire continent, meeting natives, gathering resources. All with simple graphics. A reboot could bring a much richer combat system and even include multiplayer cooperative/competitive modes.

What is the government going to do with this money? It seems to me they should pay it back to the consumers who were ripped off. But we all know they are just going to put it into the general fund and spend it on some pet project or political pay back to one of their cronies. Thanks government, you've helped to keep us safer by taking money from one bad guy and giving it to another.

That's simple. Just tell us where you keep your ATM card and . . .

Yes, but by providing network connectivity to your home computer that is hosting a web site, the ISP is not hosting anything. Just acting as a gateway for your computer to connect into the internet. Now if we were talking about a hosting company. That might be a different thing. If they are talking about hosted computers, this is a different matter. But an ISP should be a communication provider not a content provider and it should not matter what I provide as content on their network. The content I provide is my responsibility.

But adding $20 Trillion in resources won't actually create $20 Trillion in value. It will instead just crash the price of the items it is competing with. Our world only needs $50-$100 Billion worth of that resource yearly. If you try to suddenly unload 200 years of inventory, you'll just destroy the market. Prices will drop and the final result will be that you capture 100% of the $50-$100 Billion that the marking was already planning on spending. Numbers like $20 Trillion or inflated. Its like saying I have a super tanker full of crack worth $100 Trillion street value. There is no way you'll ever see any of that money.
