I remember when Konami tried to silence Super Bunnyhop awhile back via DMCA abuse and Youtube stepped in, I'm glad to see that has in a way evolved into a proper policy, caveats be damned.

Part of me, the naive, idealistic part, wonders what might happen if hell froze over and the US and Russia quit playing proxy war and actually saw eye to eye on crushing ISIS instead of just pretending while they tug of war over Assad.

What wide a brush you paint with. Are blanket statements and bird shot opinions all you've got to contribute?

this is a great point. I often think of the current research chemical market in regards to this: a poorly understood drug like MDPV makes the rounds on the internet, someone decides to take the risks for the rewards in the gray-area and mak

if you re-read the above comment imagining yourself as someone reading it many years in the future you can really appreciate it much more. thanks for putting me on that train of thought.

taking something called "protection money" sounds like extortion to me, but now we're splitting hairs.

wait, insurance companies don't usually make an actual profit directly from premiums? what a world we live in, that's an eye-opener for me.

weed is maybe a bad example. I think heroin would be more apt here, since that is usually grown and processed overseas before being imported. where I'm from, growing and processing (curing and trimming) your own weed is very common. th

an important distinction, too. I really do think that decriminalization is a logical path to legalization, but it offers many less benefits to society by direct comparison. all the criminal infrastructure and the ills that go with it don&#x

I think this is a systemic problem in Afghanistan. I've heard that once a contract is put up for bidding by the government, someone buys it out, and sub-contracts it out a step down the ladder. The sub-contractor sub-contracts it out a

I disagree that it's half-baked, in fact this is a huge victory. A step in the right direction, indeed. Now, if only we can keep from going two steps back.

Am I naive for thinking the iPhone cost less than $600? I don't know what I thought it might have cost, I've never been interested enough to go looking. I...just might have expected it to be less than the PC upgrades I occasionall

Reading about how optimization is handled in games is extremely interesting. It really makes me appreciate some of the more well optimized games, it sounds like solving a very difficult puzzle.

I imagine people looking to be disruptive will seek out a 'start9' equivalent. I don't know whether or not there is one.

I don't know about you, but if that's the only reason, it sounds an awful lot like a clear cut case of overreach.

the only thing I can imagine cracking the screen is trying to weigh a person. is that really something Apple would have to pay for? seems like something like that would fall well in "your fault" territory from my perspective. my f

Do you think you'll still be playing this game a few years from now? I can't imagine the player base is going to stick around for years of that. Maybe some will, but the idea of a 10 year deal being signed for something like this

so, they've decided to cannibalize the interesting story they cut out to begin with for the current DLC that everyone seems to enjoy?

I've only just heard of the "online-pass" used game style of putting the squeeze on the used textbook market yesterday, from that post you mentioned. My jaw is a little agape about the whole thing. online passes died in game

This is 2015. The idea that we need to make sure a company is steeped in ill-gotten profit so that information can be disseminated is absolutely laughable. The internet has brought a new method of information dissemination, a free method. n

Oxycodone aka Eukodal is not a "preform" of heroin, period. Hydrocodone, aka Vicodin, has nothing to do with heroin either. This is seriously bad drug information. they're just opiates. If you don't know, now you know. N
