Same. I paid a little more for the disc yet still much less than what 7 was selling for. I can't fathom how this pricing makes any sense. I figured they would keep the prices low and maybe try to make up for it with app sales or something along those lines. You've got all this backlash from...

Not giving up the PC but giving up desktops. Not that I game much but I have a PS3 for that, and computers are so fast anymore it's not like a good notebook won't get me by. Notebooks are just hitting their stride now, putting in all the features they've neglected. Starting to see IPS, more...

I think they ran into some legal thing over the Metro name being in use.

I never called you a liar. As it reads, the right to bear arms is prefaced with qualifier in a well-regulated Militia. My point, the initial one I posted that you decide to take issue with in the first place, was that the first part was the one usually overlooked and ignored. Why all this...

Yes, that republican-appointed John Roberts. He's a conservative, that doesn't mean he's voting right 100% of the time. There's a conservative majority in on that Court, of course there's a partisan consideration. That's your reasoning? He votes for ObamaCare and he's no longer a conservative...

We were talking about the first half, which you know full well so don’t play games. That's where it says well-regulated militia, being the qualifier for the second half - which is why there’s even a first half to begin with. They could have omitted it entirely had they simply wanted...

Then count the four dissenting Justices as among the misinformed, because that's precisely what they argued in Stevens' dissent. With 5 republican-appointed Justices sitting they were outnumbered in a vote, nothing more.

No, militia is the word they use. Not people. Let's not start substituting in new words and just stick with what it says. That's not true. Militias predated the Revolutionary War in the US, and were organized units that protected towns and so forth. It doesn't have the loose meaning that...

When then that would raise the question of whether we should just let them keep on playing, and hope to hell the servers don't go down.

99 percent of the time it looks just like 7 to me. I'm mostly just writing docs or in an Adobe app. I don't even see Metro anymore. Once I got the Start menu back and put programs on the taskbar, and boot to desktop, that's it. I wish MS would have it built-in to choose these options, but it's...

Most Americans do support the Second Amendment, that's an absolute fact. Some would stress thinking more about the meaning of whole Amendment however, not just the second half that everyone quotes and the NRA has on it's lobby wall. They leave out the whole nasty "well-regulated" bit. On the...

But that's just it, NRA and other conservative groups aren't satisfied with the results, and are blaming video games and media. They aren't happy with the results other then their own in-house studies. So now, Obama is offering to play ball and test their theories using government-funded...

Also, just so there's no ambiguity about where the political forces are lining up in this debate as it relates to gun control, the NRA's made their position very clear. There are real press conference quotes from NRA Executive VP Wayne LaPierre, from just last month: "There exists in this...

Research like this isn't produced in a week. First you have to get your proposals drawn up, submitted, reviewed, and then if approved the funding needs to be allocated. Research teams get assembled and so on. Then the actual work researching and collecting your data begins, then process review...

It's a fair concern that deserves attention. It's probably hard to tell by what you hear by casual discussion or media reports, but research on this issue has been very mixed. There's a lot of dispute regarding both the quality of the research and whether certain trends demonstrate alone a...
