I blame the marketing.

He made a categorical statement. It's a dangerous thing to do.

What that's rating is the speed of the drive. Outside of actually having SATA, the only thing that's going to push that up is a faster drive: either going 10,000 RPM or SSD.

Yeah...funny how the Democratic voting south turned Republican after desegregation. The parties bear little to no similarities to their positions then.

Did you just call Johnny Cash dull and childish?

Admittedly, it's a bit extreme to call it censorship, the presumption is that it's a command from On High (or an implied threat) telling people to not speak their minds. It's also not mutually exclusive from your point.

That's the problem with a term like "important." Important doesn't just mean quality, it means provides an appropriate message. I would go even further, and say that it's not a left-of-center list, but a specifically DNC list, as we conceive of the party today, in all its UMC smug approbation.

It sounds like you were being a dick, it probably is slander, he probably deserved it, and it sounds funny as hell.

I strongly doubt it.

There's a book/documentary/movie out there called Touching the Void. It's all about two guys who try and pull off an incredible climb of a mountain, but things go wrong. To avoid telling the whole thing, the one guy is stuck on the mountain, moving from circumstance that should kill him to circumstance that should…

Just got there myself, oddly enough. Oh, wait...*ahem*

I think that's related to what the OP is talking about. Admittedly, I haven't played either game, but I can think of at least a handful of games that set up the player as having options, but where boss fights are boss fights. The question isn't why this is an issue - the issue is pretty plain - but why it's an issue…

Well, what should it be? I don't mean that rhetorically.

Admittedly, it's not great. It's not one of the greatest pieces of New Who writing, and it's an almost ambushed cold read where McCoy's about as interested in being hammy as anything else. But it's still pretty cool.

And if I'm recommending BritCom, I'd be sorely remiss if I did not include Black Books. It's a little more absurdist at times, but it's incredibly funny.

I think that you may have missed the point of the "alleged Kentuckians" line. To quote from the passage:

I think that we forget the degree to which what we can 'privacy' is a very modern, and also a very first-world concept. That's not at all to say that makes it bad, quite the opposite really. But I do think it's important to keep in perspective. Even in our modern world of decreasing privacy, we still are phenomenally…

Yeah, but in most of those decisions (but not all), you could change "right to privacy" to "right to fuck whom and how you want" and the substance of the decision wouldn't be any different.

RPGs have something of a tradition in this. Hell, the original Fallouts are probably even worse, in that it's only just one of two perks that turn you unstoppable.
