All this is going to do is piss off legislating bodies and push them to place tighter restrictions on the internet.

"If it doesn't work, ignore it!" doesn't fix problems. Underfunding the government will not fix it any more than reducing a person's pay will force them to budget better.

So, Amazon doesn't ship using FAA-routed planes? They don't use interstate highways?

Look, I'll agree that it was a waste, but "all" is a bit much.

"So why don't they just raise the income tax rate, and drop the other taxes?"

Who's developing it? Not all Tetris games are equal.

For fuck's sake, people. If you want to have a modern society, you have to pay some taxes. Wake up. Unless you want to go back to unpaved roads, dirty well water, and one-room schools, people need to cough up.

This argument doesn't hold as much water as people seem to think it does. It's not as if Sweden is one giant city. It has rural areas.

FACT: My T-Mobile bills is $75/mo before taxes.

Why is this such a big deal to people? How does this affect anyone in any way? I cannot fathom why people fly off the handle on things that are, in the end, of no real consequence.

Right, but your true story isn't very exciting, so let's just punch it up a bit.

I had a roommate who insisted the ghosts from her old apartment had followed her into the new one we shared.

A lack of network security is inexcusable. Like most corporations, they will be on the bleeding edge of security for six months then let it slip when they deem it too expensive to be worthwhile. The cycle will repeat.

Shadow Complex does not have a good plot. It is not well written. This is not up for debate. I'm glad you found a review or two that says it had a good plot. You could probably find some good reviews for Sucker Punch, too, but that doesn't mean it is a well-written film. I am not going to sit here and argue that the…

So... forewarned isn't forearmed?

It's got nothing to do with hubris. It's the opposite of hubris. I doubt we're worth the effort, as I said in that last sentence.

No one reviewed Shadow Complex based on its plot. As a game, it's mostly good(minus some annoying map issues). But how any radical anti-government militia can build a multi-billion dollar base underneath a national park and get away with what is a decades-long construction project is beyond me. Maybe, if I was an…

Why are they dancing in Apple Stores? Because they're not doing something constructive, like commenting on blogs!

Nothing to do? I'll have you know, I'd kill to have nothing to do more often. Couldn't any hobby fall under "nothing to do?"

Every time someone talks about another country invading the US, I laugh.
