I loved Netflix but canceled it when I had watched most of the movies I was interested in that were available for streaming. I'll sign up again later when my queue runs deeper. What I would really love is for Netflix to offer real-time or near-real-time premium channel content like...

It's depressing how stupid people are. If you want to ban the swastika, just admit that you are against free speech, even for pure symbols, not speech where you are instructing people to murder, or speech whose production directly harmed someone like child porn. Just a symbol. You are against...

Please tell me how you're doing that. I've found the opposite. In MW2, you could headshot anybody from any range with a low-accuracy gun. It's just how it worked. Now in blops I can't even hit somebody at medium or beyond range with many of the guns. They have seriously increased the effect of...

It's hard to find good writing in general, and even harder to find good writing about women. I just read Emma by Jane Austen and it's probably the best that I've come across so far. It's an interesting book. The story, the actual plot, is kind of like the background story of any Socratic dialog...

The terrorists who are poorly educated are not often living in the West and don't know much about Western decadence. They are only poorly educated because they were raised in madrassas where the only education was to memorize the Koran in Arabic, which they don't even speak -- they simply...
