Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is brainwashed. That's a real healthy attitude to take.

Solution: anonymous buyers.

It is less bad. The US government doesn't have any obligation to protect the rights of citizens of some other country not living in the US. If your government disagrees, tell them …

It just means they feel like the other party is forgetting about the cost. For example, if I hear my friend raving about this new phone that only costs 99 dollars, I might remind h…

No. I validate the credit card before completing the transaction. Maybe you should check whether the game is terrible before you buy it.

With Opera 12.14, I saw the same thing. I had to open the page in Chrome to see the weirdness.

Most likely this will lead to official certification and registration of pen testers like locksmiths and alarm system installers are required to have in some states..

Probably they spent more time playing on the highest game speed, which taxes their servers more. They eventually disabled this speed when it was clear their infrastructure could no…

Refuse to enforce this clause of the DMCA and pardon anyone imprisoned because of it.

Can anyone repost the text here for those of use whose work filters block tpb?

How is that sad? If it's not useful for sex, what else is more important than killing people?

They have to say things like that, because you need the other side to believe you will use your nukes for them to be an effective deterrent. Nobody actually wants to use them.
