True. The comedian is just pointing out the obvious that any white, black or asian would make about themselves. Margaret Cho does it, and with the stereotypical asian accent. Eddie Murphy portrayed Buckwheat on SNL. When the PC movement was at its zenith in the 90's, I remember my teachers...

My point is to just cut the unnecessary Cash -> PLEX -> ISK or Cash -> AUR -> ISK routine to just Cash -> ISK. The article is also talking about the NEx being open to special ships or equipment that could make major game changing issues. I do not see the NEx being an important part of my...

The problem with this "damage control" is that as I play EVE, much of the new content is feeling like it will be a "pay cash for access" on top of the standard subscription. CCP has made major content updates free since I have been playing. Dastardly is correct in many ways. CCP is trying to...

The online portion of the retailer stored the credit card and personal information on their servers, as part of their PCI DSS 1.0 compliance. Their servers were hacked and millions of people had their information stolen. Do you frequent...

I do not know if GameStop has a rewards program, but if they do, they need that information sans CC number. You B&N reference reminded me of this.

In-store transactions do not need personal information, however, they need all card digits to complete the transaction, whether swiped or manually imputed. When a card is swiped or entered they need all digits because: The first digit is the system number. (Visa/MC) Digits two through six...

ZP was right at the beginning of his Manhunt review. Although this person has the paper credentials, she has no concept of gaming with real life. O'Rilly and this woman caused my conservative brain the stop watching Fox. Pink Floyd was right about these people, "Crazy, toys in the attic..."

Not really. Ask my ex-wife. I insulted her in front of two cops, using Shakespeare, and both cops laughed.
