this is a man who is working to stop me from getting married and paid for commercials that imply I'm a pedophile. That sounds like someone who is out to get me. The work he did isn't just a political dispute, it's a direct attack on me. Why would I tolerate it? It's like saying I should tolerate a punch in the face.

I am sure that there are many people who pay more taxes, donate more to their community, and volunteer more than you do. All that entitlement you have. I am sorry for your kids.

You are seriously lacking in logic here. I hope your kids are smart enough to take advice and learn from other, more responsible adults. A perpetual 10% "fee" on sales to ones' parents makes absolutely no sense.

Uh, people who do NOT have kids are just as 'adult' and capable of having informed opinions as people with them.

I'm in my early 30s and still dealing with the repercussions of parents who did their best to prevent me from having to see/deal with the world.

you must not know anyone who has had this happen to them, or witnessed it yourself.

If you worked at my company and you thought this behavior was appropriate, I'd fire you, and I'd make sure you didn't get a job anywhere else.

when I was a kid, I was quite precocious.

i'd love to click to enlarge, but the picture is missing!

You understand the vast difference between touching someone and talking about someone, right?

Your opinion is important to me. Please: stay on the line. Someone who cares will be with you shortly. Oh wait.

I don't think it's saying that.

it is important. more often than not, I see men behaving badly in super-heavily male dominated environments (like < 10% female).

as a male programmer, I find it way better to not work in a 100% male environment because it cuts down on brogramming, one-upping, machismo, etc—all things I've seen rapidly vanish if there are women around.

thank you. =)

Sadly, that is true.

True: there is a right to anonymity, and the government can't work to unmask your anonymity without going through due process.

You might be disheartened, but not everyone should be. Why impose a standard?

When you wonder why companies produce inferior, difficult-to-use products, blame all of the dipshits in this thread defending Nintendo. Despite it being 2013, they don't think tech should be easy to use, even tech that is used solely for entertainment.

The moral of the story is: Nintendo build a commerce system that would have been stupidly weak in 2002 in 2013.
