They would have post-produced the hell out of it, monetized the ending, and blame it all on him.

I'll be okay when I'm no longer in the country that betrayed me.

It's there. Unfortunately it's got all the licensed stuff removed, but it's still Crazy Taxi even if it doesn't have that AH YA YA YA YA YA goodness

Remember, 25% of all viruses are spread through USB. Wired is *safer*, not *safe*.

Except the manufacturer deciding they want you to do it online, you mean. If you're lucky, they'll let you jack in, sure... (cont)

If only I could afford to go back to school to take an accredited compsci course. Sure it's a piece of paper, but it gets you in the door.

Very true. The best you can do sometimes is to mitigate the risk. It's why I don't have an Alexa... not worth it.

The people who will get them out of necessity are the ones I worry about most. Especially considering they'll likely be the trial users.

I was in a red state post-9/11. Even saying you didn't like Bush's hair then was enough to get people calling you traitor.

I wouldn't say all of the wars ever, but a lot of them, certainly. If I were in a more cynical mood, I'd say only revolutions weren't.
