Some guns are useful as clubs without the bullets, but this one is just useless. Unless that same angsty teenager can also acquire bullets, there isn't really a problem - the legal age to purchase ammo is (as far as I know) the same as pur

Yeah, I made that reply before I saw that second post. It doesn't really change much though - something tells me he's not a supporter of totalitarian right-wing rule either.

Your comment is a bit of a window into yours - disparaging remarks made against the left wing don't imply support of the right wing.

Agreed. I don't think Microsoft has to focus on the 'game' aspect of the new Xbox - the people making games for it will do that, and we know the hardware is sufficient for the next console iteration. They are focusing on the rest of the e

'bro gamer' is just a term used by some gamers to feel superior to the CoD demographic (which is everybody ). It seems to me to be a kind of signaling used to mark themselves out as 'serious' gamers who think about 'serious' issues while

E3 is in three weeks. They didn't want this event to focus on games, because then they'd have nothing to show at E3. But they still showed some games just to prove it had working hardware.

A rumor I had read (can't find where now, take with many grains of salt) is part of the reason the thing is so large and, well, xbox huge, is that the cooling solution for the box is nearly silent and to do that necessitated the size.

Urgh. Not all law enforcement is corrupt. And if you don't give it a chance, watch it fail, and then write a story about that , you aren't helping with the corruption.

I still can't figure out why you think 'lives in Texas' means something other than 'Texan', other than successful left-wing advertising and right-wing propaganda. Texas is pretty much a microcosm of the US with an independent streak and a

What's wrong with writing a story about the supposed video and then notifying the appropriate authorities? Is not stories about the video enough to get the ball rolling? If these people are attempting to blackmail the mayor, then law enfo

I don't care if Houston is 'Liberal'. I prefer pragmatic and reasonable. If the two go hand and hand, so be it, but I don't think that's always the case.

Austin is not near as special and 'weird' as it thinks it is. I say this living in the largest city in the U.S. with a gay mayor, also located in Texas. You know nothing jon knee.

Sales tax penalizes those living hand to mouth more than is probably advisable. I don't mind progressive taxation, but I would love to see them stop trying to do social engineering with the tax code and just charge a fixed rate based on in

After you turn 30 you realize that not everyone will believe what you do or be right about everything, but when they are right about one thing and you disregard it 'out of principle', you look the fool.

And despite all these tickets being issued in the name of 'safety', people still continue to slightly miss the yellow, not quite come to a complete stop before turning right, and fail to make a snap judgement correct 100% of the time. The

I don't think the problem is with the message, the problem is with the way it is worded as a personal email from A to B when they probably thought they were getting a generic 'A has invited you to join FounderDating!'.
