*nods* just ask Gary McKinnon or Richard O'Dwyer McKinnon should be given a job in Intelligence, not a prison sentence, and under UK law O'Dwyer has done nothing illegal. If the US government can lynch O'Dwyer in current circumstances, f**k knows what's gonna happen if SOPA & PIPA are passed...

Here's someone [http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html] speaking in our favour

..Or the Onion News Network?

The only good thing our Libel laws have ever done. I'm not sure if the massive infringement on freedom of speech is really worth it though?

Since when was it a crime to watch a video? (other than child porn, obv) They would need a hell of a strong legal case to breach data protection and privacy laws

I can't drink when I'm feeling low, I end up a gibbering wreck. After my last break up I bummed around like a teenager for a few weeks before slapping myself back to reality, and took a week holiday to go climbing. I lost a lot of self confidence that took a good few months to return, but I...

Oh yeah, I don't deny that what they're doing is a bad idea, in the end it's just gonna make it worse off for everyone, as governments get uber-paranoid of their position of power. As the cold war didn't change anything for the better, I think it will take a full zombie apocalypse to make any...

I'm anti-extremist for any political movement, but when in the western world, mass demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people are routinely ignored as a 'token gesture' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQLOj_-lyZI&feature=related], governments need to be hit where it hurts them, and Anon...

I think a shark would be kind of awesome, not too bothered about specific species, although poorly timed transformations could result in an awkward situation. ...or a peregrine falcon; I love going fast, and I hate pigeons!

Living in England it's truly embarrassing how the news is entirely "OMG it's snow! WTF do we do?" Srsly, in my hometown the heaviest snow dump has been a whopping 15mm(ish). At least Scotland gets 2 consecutive years of opening as a ski resort :D

(Sorry, double post)

Classical music seems to be popular for evoking the feeling of epic grandeur the OP is asking of. Personally I think: Carl Orff - O fortuna, Greig - Hall of the Mountain King, or my personal favourite; a metal cover of Vivaldi's Winter [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txwlKqt01TQ]

I had that decision when my old laptop died, but instead of getting 2 mediocre devices, I built myself a mid range gaming machine with scope to upgrade as I wanted/needed/funds allowed

Touche However if people spent the amount they pay for consoles, console games and peripherals on upgrading their PC, they can have a much more powerful machine for their money. Granted, not everyone has the bravery/knowledge to play around with expensive electronics, but if you do it is worth...
