| Yes, I am looking forward to another day of actually interesting and original (fake) video games announcements before being returned to the usual hopelessly bereft selection of actual modern games to play. |

I'm waiting for it to drop below $48.99 so i can get me some savings. Or better yet, I see "let's play" videos in my future.
Pretty sure GMG already had it under that to preorder. |

Saitek has been owned by Mad Catz for the past 9 years. Mad Catz make the worst fucking junk on the planet, much worse even than Razer.

What amazes me the most is what activities are these rats doing to get spinal cord injuries. Are they driving without seat belts, or skiing too fast?
They got captured by men and women in flowing white lab coats. |

| Yeah but the cost of living in CA, especially the affluent areas, is enormously out of sync with the rest of America. San Jose has <1000ft condos for easily over $500,000. |

I can see there is passion for and against this. I'm glad we had this discussion. It's been bothering me and I needed to vent a little. Even though I may not agree your reasoning I do respect your point of view.
No no no, there's no discussion on this point. The minimum wage has to rise over time. Period. ALL wages are supposed to rise to AT LEAST compensate for cost of living and inflation. Your Ayn Randian ethical sensibilities and superiority complex aside, you can't argue with simple maths. If X money is the *absolute minimum* required to live a healthy, productive, independent life in America, then Y worker should get paid at least X money, regardless of the nature of his labor. If he ISN'T, society will, in one form or another, suffer for it. |

2) By that faulty logic why have winners in Sports or the Olympics or eSports? There is ALWAYS going to be superiority and inferiority. That's life. I spent the time learning a skill back when the Internet basically didn't exist. Today, with sites like Udemy, MIT opencourseware, Full Sail Academy, Kahn Academy and more there is NO excuse for anyone to "settle" into a minimum wage "career".
You're the victim of your own reasoning. Your job doesn't pay as well as you think it should because a bunch of uppity Indians and Asians got it into their heads that they could do the same work for less pay.
And people stuck waiting tables didn't necessarily set out for an exciting career working for $3 an hour (plus tips!). I don't know if you noticed, but the US economy took a massive shit a few years ago and royally fucked up tons of lives/careers. |

You missed the point, man; the point is that flipping burgers is unskilled labor anyone can do, and the minimal compensation is a reflection of that. IT work historically takes post-secondary education. The people that have put the time and money into (read: an investment) that education expect to it to pay off. Literally.
This generation has been fed the lie that if you educate yourself (and accrue the nice healthy slab of debt that comes with that) you'll get a steady career. We all used to mock the arts majors because what the fuck were they going to do with their degrees except wipe their asses, but now we're in a position where previously stable degrees frequently don't amount to shit. Globalization is great... right up until it comes back to bite you in the ass. |

Besides that, once AI has been well established and progress beyond humans (able to program itself) ... Your job may be seen as the new burger flipping
It already is the new burger flipping, or have you seriously not noticed the ongoing and extensive offshoring of computer science work to The East? The West had a good run at computer-related economies, but like manufacturing before it, businesses can and will shift to the cheapest labor. And it doesn't help the US having one of the worst and most expensive networking infrastructures. |

| Seems silly to get behind the tech before there's a killer app (or at least a decent selection of not-so-killer apps). If the next Elder Scrolls announces support then yeah, go all in, but until then... |

Saw your movie last night Affleck, you damn well better be sad batman.
Therein lies the problem, because you and $170M worth of US viewers *also* saw his movie last weekend, when everyone knew it would be bad and everyone who'd already seen it said it was bad. |

Personally, I think they need to go back inside the box, to what made San Andreas great. Give us a single main character that we actually care about, who develops through the story.
Are you effin kidding? YOU A BUSTAH, C.J. |
