Gotta think that if he didn't run to Russia he'd be in line for a pardon.

He'd be in the same boat as Chelsea Manning if he'd stayed.

Perhaps, but like Manning, he deserves jail time. He also deserves a pardon. Chelsea Manning was active duty at the time of her crime. That's a whole different kettle of fish. She also deserves a pardon or at least a commuting of the sentence, but people gotta do time, or the law (even shit laws) mean nothing.

So law takes precedent over right and wrong? Well you certainly would have been a great nazi working at Dachau or the like. Or just a slave owner instead? Whip and work your slaves to death with a big ol' smile on your face...because it's legal right. Fucking fascist.

Never takes long for the Nazi card to come out when Cutter is around.

On the one hand, he did his country a great (though illegal) service. On the other hand, he ran to Russia.

Gotta think that if he didn't run to Russia he'd be in line for a pardon. I would probably do it because sometimes to government needs to lose, but fuck man, Russia? Russia?! C'mon...

Haha, guarantee like most network/internet things, crafty people will find ways around that ban.

Can hack into seemingly any US gov't agency, can't break through the porn ban wall.

This is where DRM type zealots should be coming in and saying "You see what you get! You see what you get! You should have been downloading all those videos. Because at a flip of the switch if you are streamer, your dead in the water."

Hackers are already shaping U.S. election coverage with data leaks.

Can't shape it more than the media does!

And cracked is wrong replacing dairy with water. Dairy is essential - at least for those of us of northern european descent who still live in northern climes. For people in the sun belt who get plenty of exposure to sun and fresh veg year round, not so much.

No diary is not essential for you.

No, it is - for certain ethnicities and depending on where you live. Vitamin D, casein and whey proteins, are majorly important for a great many body fuctions. That's well known and accepted everywhere, except for kooks on Youtube who tell you don't need dairy.

Unless you somehow find a way to violate the laws of physics, thermal dissipation and power consumption make that scenario from utterly impossible to highly unlikely. The only way I see this happening is if you stream with the same input lag as a PC from a server and that's only if ISPs play nice and remove data caps, I wouldn't hold my breath for that.

Someone is doubting technology. Carlin was right again.

Yeah, debate socialism with a bunch of fat, unemployed/disabled gamers. Let's see how that works out for you.

This is why we need a separate, stand-alone whistleblower department in the government not connected to any existing agency. The reason Snowden fled before releasing the docs, is due to what happened to Bill Binney, Thomas Drake, and other whistleblowers who tried to work within the system. Arrested, spied upon, harassed, fired, etc. etc. in complete violation of existing whistleblower laws.

It was a contest back in the early days of Nintendo, Sega, Neo Geo and Turbo Grafix 16... Heck maybe even the Sega Saturn / play station days...

But from the time 3DFX created the Vodoo and after words the battle was over. Yea.. inevitable. Eventually Consoles would have to morph into PC's.

The next phase is for PC's to loose the battle to phones with VR headsets and virtual gloves etc. When a phone 15 years from now has the power of a modern cray super computer.

Pay for patches? Lol! Class-actions incoming in 3...2...1...

Probably referring to the few games which will get additional work done to make them look better @ 4k by more than just increasing resolution. Some will probably bundle new assets and ask a DLC-like price for the patch, or offer 2 patches, one free without the assets and one with them.

Jezz you sounds like one who WILL pay for it if it ever happens.......
