    Destroying A Hard Drive Permanently

    See my above post... Usually anything that's a pistol with a stock attached gets automatically labeled an SBR by the Feds. As long as they can't throw you in jail that's all I was wanting here. I was going to post a rant about how much of a self-important douche I think you are, but I...

    Destroying A Hard Drive Permanently

    No. Mr. Technicality strikes again. It amounts to the same thing, a "you have my permission" stamp from Big Brother. Call it what you want, but it's still a permit by effect. :rolleyes: *sigh* This is the knee-jerk internet, where everything is misunderstood and conclusions are jumped...

    Destroying A Hard Drive Permanently

    That thing qualifies as an SBR. If that's really yours and not just a photo plucked off the 'net then I hope you have a permit for it.

    Destroying A Hard Drive Permanently

    Torching the platter until it's molten slag is quite effective. It works equally well for SSD's too.

    Star Citizen: The Beginning of the End

    Alright, I should correct that. You did post the video montage from SXSW and footage from the first-person stuff in 2014. I'm sure someone will jump on me for forgetting about that... not like the flies in the forum won't do that anyway just on principle.

    Star Citizen: The Beginning of the End

    Delays? So what? Doom 3 was delayed, yet we got a game. Doom (4) was delayed, yet people aren't saying it's dead. Do I detect bias? Yes. Name me one game that's ever hit a release date that was announced early on that didn't release with a crap load of bugs, and tell me why games like...

    Gamer Sent To Prison For School Swattings

    I think anything short of a firing squad is getting off light. The swatting victim(s) could end up being shot, so the punishment needs to be severe for this kind of thing..

    The Escapist Responds To Cloud Imperium Legal Threats

    So if this goes to court and it turns out The Escapist is completely full of it and that CIG hasn't been mismanaging anything, what then? It seems to me there's this strange desire that a lot of people here want to see this crash and burn. I do not understand it, and I don't think I really...

    Star Citizen Selling A $900 Ship

    @Wildace: Forget trying to argue with these idiots. They've made up their mind to hate SC no matter what anyone says for God knows whatever reason. Try to present a logical point or engage in meaningful discussion and you'll just get the "clueless fanboy" label slapped to you. I already had...

    Star Citizen Departures?

    Since you won't mention anyone by name... I'm assuming you're talking about me, even though you took issue with what I said at first, and even though I did answer every one of your points in the body of my post, which you probably thought "tl;dr". You want a line-by-line rebuttal? Fine, here...

    Star Citizen Departures?

    You know that's funny because I just downloaded the new update and I was taking some time walking around a planet-side environment, seeing other gamers (with ID tags so they weren't just NPC's) also walking around in said environment. The FPS module is almost out, the planetside module is now...

    Star Citizen Departures?

    These people are missing a much larger point here as well... if this fails and fails as spectacularly as they seem to be hoping it will it means a huge blow to the premise of direct-to-user development. It also means a huge hit to PC-centric gaming. The publishers will all say to themselves...

    Judgment Against Cooler Master Confirmed, Damages Increased, Injunction Issued

    Ouch. I really like some of Cooler Master's stuff. I don't use any water cooling, but their HAF cases are freaking great. I hate it when companies screw up like this.

    Theater Employees Wearing Night-Vision Goggles To Combat Piracy

    Talk about priorities... The police around here can't get a grant for body cams but cinemas are getting night-vision goggles because someone might record a movie with a phone or something. From now on, every time someone posts a "First World Problems" remark I'm going to think of the MPAA and...

    Drone Crashes At Movie Premier, Injures Baby

    What's going to happen is A) someone's going to sue the drone manufacturers over a serious injury or death and/or B) someone's going to end up in a congressional hearing. Then the regulations will hit. That's typically how this ends up going.

    A Marketing Perspective On The Gaming Industry

    After reading the first few paragraphs I had to stop. Everything he's saying is what's wrong with the industry. DLC, micro-transactions... putting limitations in that you have to pay to remove? To hell with all of that. Here's how to sell me a game: 1) DON'T RELEASE A BROKEN GAME. Do...

    Having Sex With Robots Is Really, Really Bad

    You have a very limited imagination, and so does the author of the article. If Rule34 means anything you'd have a market for everything anyone could think of... from run-of-the-mill humans to animals of every kind - real or imagined - and every combination in between. It would be a furry's wet...

    Clip-On Handgun Attachment Makes Bullets Less-Lethal

    Alabama Passes Massive pr0n Tax

    Then you singled out Muslims purely as troll bait. It's bad enough you have to pick a fight over a comment that wasn't even aimed at you, but you had to denigrate an entire religion in order to try to make your point? That's pretty low. Option 4: Civil disobedience. The Bible instructs...

    That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Then we're in agreement on this. I realize that's not supposed to happen on the internet, and I tend to be at odds with your position on a lot of things... but I'll try not to let this happen too often. Too much rational thinking might cause...

    Alabama Passes Massive pr0n Tax

    So you're saying all Muslims are sexist? Way to stereotype, and a very poor attempt at baiting me with low-hanging fruit. If it's against their beliefs, sure, so long as there's an alternative for the person in question to obtain these permits. If a judge orders that person to violate their...

    Clip-On Handgun Attachment Makes Bullets Less-Lethal

    A person with a knife advancing on an officer is a justifiable shooting on the part of the officer in every instance. If you approach police with any weapon and fail to obey an order to drop the weapon you're asking for it. If the person was unarmed and advancing on the officer, then the use...

    California Governor Vetoes Bill Banning Drones Over Private Property

    The uneducated among humans think of us birds as these light balls of floof. We birds have humongous flight muscles because flight requires a hell of a lot of power, and a very strong and rigid skeleton to handle all the associated stresses. We're not delicate little puffballs. We're...
