Yea, it’s not like a console has ever come out a year before its competition. With that logic the Wii U coming out a year ahead of the other 2 should’ve murdered their sales.

You’re totally making the wrong comparison. The console is not losing out to PC gaming at all. The PC market doesn’t have a whole lot of affect on the console market. It’s that thing in your pocket or on your lap that is killing both.

I like your position on the subject at hand. However you’ve done this twice now. Please remedy.

I’ve always called these games “Jet Moto” games!

That was just what Madden would say EVERY FRICKING TIME he had a carry. Between that and his turducken it’s a wonder he had time to say anything else.

Thanks for putting the “answer” in the written piece! Now I’ll have to take a listen as to why after work.

The Trib has been trash for as long as I can remember. They didn’t even have Doonesbury until recently! In all seriousness though, I wouldn’t mind to see it go away. In this day and age, the metro doesn’t need 2 “major” print papers and the Trib is clearly the worst of the two.

Your comment really brought out some fanboys for some reason. Even though it is a good honest take on the Pro’s purpose. Microsoft came out and said they’re morphing the console business into more of how cell phones work. The same games across different consoles they can release more often. I’m not sure if this is…

Gawker, or whatever it’s called now after Univision bought them, is notorious for clickbait across the board. That’s the joke.

Would what I posted be a good headline? If you think yes then your argument makes sense. If not then eat crow.

That wouldn’t be a good clickbait title though.

Good! I’m glad we’re somewhat in agreement! For the record, I totally understand you line of reasoning and it makes sense from your perspective. Our argument isn’t really about the satellite. It really lies with what we perceive a company’s role in society to be.

I like the mouse but I’m also left handed. (The most oppressed minority on the planet!)

Sigh. “Everyone” as long as you’re right handed. Or does the mouse have a lefty variant?

I guess I’ll boil it down to the simplest terms I can.

Before:
Insurance company has zero change in money. ($o)
Space Entity has zero change in money and a working satellite. ($0 + working satellite)
($0 + $0 + working satellite) = working satellite

After:
Insurance company has negative $95 million. (-$95,000,000)
Space…

So you’re arguing that a blown up satellite is worth the same as a fully functioning satellite?

Yea there sure is! (I didn’t want to over complicate things though.)

I get your line of reasoning. I actually even think that distracted driving laws are a faulty idea. However, from a law enforcement standpoint, texting is a lot easier to prove because texts are timestamped. Adjusting the radio is not.

I was ready for this exact argument becuase I know the line of reasoning you’re going down. The 95$ million is lost because they have to make another of the same satellite to achieve the same purpose. (Well they don’t HAVE to I guess.) If the satellite didn’t blow up in the first place, that 95 million could have been…

I responded to another post but I’ll have to add this. There is a hidden cost that the government did lose. Since the insurance company operates on (risk x satellite worth) = insurance premium, the premium for the next satellite would go up because the risk went up theoretically. (The insurance company probably…
