I'll preface my comments with the same thing you do: I am white, male and straight.

I actually agree with you. I agree that something needs to be done about websites that exist to distribute pirated works- people made something, pay for it. The only problem is that there are not always easy or reasonably priced methods for obtaining content legally, and that is a problem that the industry needs to…

"Our mandate is to report news and sometimes offer opinion about video games, gaming culture and the way gaming intersects with the culture at large. I believe it is our job to cover protest movements but not to be part of them."

More like they'd have to give the cannon a drone. They gave the cannon an airplane, after all.

They look a lot better on the old school cars. The new ones, meh. Not so much.

Sure! East Coast snow falls on flat places. West Coast snow falls on hilly places. If there was a street like Boren in NYC, everyone would shit themselves. The video doesn't show the grade of the road.

I was gonna say, people give us a lot of shit. I think it's because we get a ton of rain and know how to handle it (mostly), so that means we should know what to do with snow. Two caveats:

Californians react to rain kind of like Seattleites react to snow- general confusion, panic, and not sure what to do with the stuff landing on the windshield.

I was kind of wondering how long people expect an evacuation of 4,200 people to take off a ship like that. Yes, it sounds like a long time, but it didn't seem like an unreasonable length of time given the conditions.

1. Snow Tires: On

The sanctioning body failed? Seriously? You seem to have forgotten that he was the one behind the wheel who chose to take the actions he did. Could the event organizers have taken steps to prevent that from happening, ie, put a kill switch on the outside as has been mentioned a million times? Yes, but you don't want…

Bingo. The reason events with cars are safe is because there is staff at the event who know what they're doing (almost always), and because people listen to them. Not paying attention, and especially pushing them out of the way with your car, is not acceptable.

Nope. It's a nice idea, but the beauty of the console (from a developer's standpoint) is that all the hardware is the same- not that it meets a certain set of minimum requirements that is licensed out, but the same. Opening up the hardware opens a big can of worms that would take away the major selling point- one…

So, any overview of said patents they are claiming? I realize that the linked Bloomberg article doesn't go into details, but they have the court cases. I'd love to see the patent title, anyway, without needing to go search for the cases.

In order to be anti-competitive, you have to be competitive first, right? I'm not sure Kodak fits that description.

I love how hard the auto transmission selector tries super, super hard to look like a stick shift. Awesome.

Should vehicles (or anything, I guess) produced for the express purpose of fulfilling a government military contract be a protected thing? Who owns those rights? Seems to me that if it's built for the government, we kind of all own those rights, as we (american taxpayers, let me clarify) are paying for this stuff at…

True enough, I guess that is part of the shocking difference.

So, let's see what cars from their history Dodge has shat all over now:

OS X is great, but so is a clean windows 7 install. Honestly, they're both pretty damn similar in terms of features- they both do 98% of what you want them to do, and they both have some stupid omissions. It just comes back to personal preference, IMO.
