Wow, great they're working on a new version for 2014. Know what my #1 most wanted feature is? FUCKING AVAILABILITY!!!!!!

Windows phone is actually becoming more and more appealing to me. I'm on an iPhone 4 w/ iOS6, and I can almost see myself upgrading to a Lumia when the time comes.

Looks amazing. Seems like a great job for someone who has decided to leave the service. You can use your experiences to help make these simulations even more realistic.

Come talk to me when they start a Fantasy Symphony League.

More like, the President has decided for them to be furloughed so to cause as much grief & panic as possible. Yes.

And then it's a vicious cycle because really, do we expect these chuckleheads to write a new law that doesn't guarantee them pay when they fail to do their jobs? Over 90% retention rate with a 10% approval rate and you get to vote yourself a raise...nice work if you can get it.

yep, my point is, this fatass politicians have no incentive to do anything other than what they're doing now.

While I agree with the sentiment, Secret Service duties are written into permanent law, just like Congressional pay. So they exist outside the budget and have to be paid regardless.

This cannot be an accident. If you know how these facilities run, the USDA inspectors just verify what is already done. The process does not change b/c the inspector is no longer there!!! What horseshit!

It was funny and humorous while he was alive. Shortly after his untimely death it is downright creepy and cultish on both the sellers and buyers part. Give it 30 yrs and it will be back to being quirky.

why was secret service working today? Politicians should go unguarded during a government shutdown, perhaps there would be no shutdowns?

Why is Card's attitude towards gay marriage relevant? Do we ask George Martin about his views towards the environment? Or Stephanie Meyer's attitude towards welfare? Frankly, I think singling Card out for criticism is hypocritical and bigoted.

If you expect others to respect your beliefs even if they don't agree, you should be mature enough to do the same for them. Pushing insulting labels on someone because they hold beliefs that differ from yours isn't very tolerant of you anyway, and seems hypocritical to me. Although I don't agree with Card's personal…

Here's my constant reminder that we still have no idea— genuinely no idea— how the brain stores and accesses information. We have an incredibly sophisticated picture of the physiology of the human brain, but computationally— which is what matters for actually understanding how human intelligence works— we are…

you are a perfect lemming, good show!

if a government shut down effects our economy or way of life, then there is TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT!!

What a bunch of turds we've got in the government. I often think we should just vote them all out of office and start fresh. Hit the reset button. And do away with the two party system while we're at it. Wishful thinking, unfortunately.

"I want everyone to remember why they need us!"

Still not seeing anything negative about this so called shutdown
