    Why it is acceptable to criticize smokers, but not fat people?

    I'm somewhat astonished this thread made it past "one of you gives the next person over CANCER, one of you doesn't." We're done here.

    RIAA Wins Appeal, Music Downloader Owes $675,000

    where can I sign up to work for the RIAA?? I can run down IP's and file the requisite legal form letter with a judge for 22k a song. I think their case of "we need to recoup the costs of running down the pirates" needs to be examined. Grats guys, you spent a mountain of money on...

    GameStop Pulls PC Version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Raiku: they aren't sending them back yet, they are just pulling them to the back room. The memo from the Gamestop higher ups said they can fill any existing pre-orders with those copies pulled to the back room. You just won't get the coupon obviously.

    Escape to the Movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    This sounds like the same movie as Transformers 3... An hour or so of "blah blah blah" to get to the climactic CGI showdown. One is the worst movie ever, and one is "awesome". Though, that kinda sounds like Star Wars 3...a bunch of crap till we get to Anakin vs Obi-Wan, and Anakin's new...

    Judge Takes Away Teen's Xbox

    Creative, yes. Work in America, no. But then there's a lot of things that fit that description. :/

    Bill S.978

    Public Performances might not work that way, but worded the way it is, you can bet your ass the lawyers will try to portray it as such.

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    having skipped through the thread a little, the primary reason it's so highly touted is the innovations it brought to cinematography at that time. A lot like how Star Wars had to invent a whole lot of technology to make their movie, CK did sort of the same thing.

    Hacktivists Force Pause in Australian Net Censorship

    Until politicians and elected officials can prove with a long track record beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can not let power over something go to their heads, then you can't even let them get their foot in the door.

    Supreme Court Expected to Give Gaming Verdict Monday

    Rooster hit it before I could. I have the RIGHT to own a gun. I CHOOSE not to. Developers/Retailers have the RIGHT to make and sell violent games to minors, they CHOOSE not to. Rooster nailed it with "responsibility" vs. "legal compulsion"

    Escape to the Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

    All I will say regarding Will/Elizabeth in the 2nd and 3rd movies is as such. It was like watching a pair of kids at a jr. high school dance try to figure out how close they should hold each other during a dance. At multiple points over the 2nd and 3rd movie I wanted to scream "PUT YOUR D#@K...
