@Baboonski: There are two big differences;

@stranger: First of all, you don't seem to understand some of the terms you're using; What's the difference between an M16 or an M4, and the similar-looking rifles I can buy in pretty much any gun store in my state without much hassle?

@EnigmaNemesis: Short answer is that it's still more free than pretty much any other first-world nation in that regard.

@dfxdeimos: Not quite. Two laws effectively prohibit the civilian ownership of certain types of firearms (due to barrel length, overall length, type of ordinance, and fire modes).

@Pinballtec: Yeah, I DL'd that to see if it was any good, and ragequit before I even finished the tutorial.

@tigerstripe88: That's because too many liberal-arts majors in the field of journalism feel that the end justifies the means, and so therefore don't do their damned jobs. For example, in the case of Postal, they would have done the INVESTIGATIONS necessary to seen how old the games are, how poorly they sold, and how…

@Cherish_Your_Life: While you may understand it, that doesn't make it right.

@Badrats-Studio: Yup, especially considering the time and date of the event, and the fact that the culprit fled the scene of the collision....

@socket7: Who was the manufacturer of the waterblock?

"Core i7 930 processor overclocked to 4.9GHz, dual NVidia GTX480"

I'm so sick of all the "carbon footprint" nonsense; CO2 is like a drop in the bucket in terms of so-called greenhouse gasses. The biggest, in terms of quantity and overall effect is WATER VAPOR.

Seriously? "bested Battlefield: Bad Company 2...Mass Effect 2 to take home the most-stolen crown"

@SacredByte: TLDR: Guy who's shit got jacked did his duty as a citizen, and the Cop fucked up and is paying the price. Thankfully he didn't get his ass killed, but that could have happened, and the fault lays with the Officer, and the municipality (for having officers riding one per car)

@versii: Perhaps, but thanks to this use of technology, the criminal was captured, and then REcaptured; The stolen goods were also recovered, albeit not in the same condition.

@cycle-ops: It can also go beyond the people; To clear snow from roadways, you need appropriate vehicles. A city like New York doesn't get this much snowfall all that often, and may not have the capacity or experience necessary to properly handle it.

@angelo_a: I don't know why people bitch so much about antenna-gate; The phone's so uncomfortable to use (sharp corner across my ear?) without a case that there's no way I'd consider using it without a case if only for reasons of comfort. Add to this that it's glass on BOTH sides, and there's no way in hell I'd carry…

@Tactful: Agreed; Copyright was meant to grant the holder (generally the person who created the work) a LIMITED monopoly on the reproduction of said work — The holder was the only one who had the RIGHT to COPY. This right was also limited in time — five years.

@joshuabond_007: Let me guess; Your heart's deepest desire is to make the whole world silky smooth?

@Maximus Decimus Meridius: * knows * hates the arrogance of Gene Simmons....

@dmcshinobi: But do you know the difference between Heroin and heroine?
