My Dad is an ex-biker well acquainted with the H.A.s and I can tell you this: They will demand, NOT ASK, this 'copyright' being rescinded. If they don't get satisfaction, I can assure you extremely BAD THINGS will happen to QMI, its holdings, its owners and their families. They DO NOT f*ck around when it comes to their colors. People have disappeared for far less.
I think your numbers are in error. I'm betting anonymous posted the most comments. Just sayin'. That guy has way to much time on his hands and too many points of view to be taken seriously anyway. :D
BTW folks, I am a customer of the first and second bundles and received the following email today:
"Six games have been added to your bundle
Dear Humble Indie Bundle customer, I would just like to personally thank you for your support in making the Humble Indie Bundle #2 even more successful than the first one. As thanks, I have added the Humble Indie Bundle #1 into your bundle. If you go to your personal download page, you will find the following games waiting for you:
- World of Goo (now a top seller on the iPad)
- Aquaria
- Gish
- Lugaru HD
- Penumbra Overture
- Samorost 2
Happy holidays! They're (mostly) redeemable on Steam too, if you would like to link them to your account.
If this kind of thing makes you happy, please feel free to add a little more to your Humble Bundle purchase (you can help bring up the average on your download page) and keep spreading the word!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Rosen
Humble Bundle"
While I already own the first bundle, it seems like a nice gesture and smart business decision that can drum up more buzz and business for the second bundle.
You sir, are moron. I AM tasting bile. The bile that rises due to the hypocrisy of our government and its attempts to stifle the release of information pointing to its own corruption or to punish others for its failure to protect sensitive information. I hate that our government is lying to us to perpetuate a war that we have no business waging.
You may be able to delude yourself and even use Bush's non-choice of 'you are either with us, or you are with the terrorists' BS, but that kind of rhetoric doesn't change the facts. You CAN be against the American government's actions and still be a patriotic American.
I am an American, born and bred; but I am ashamed of our government's actions. I should be proud to be an American like my grandparents were, yet I am ashamed due to the unneeded secrecy, lies, double-dealing, scapegoating, and greed.
I am not a democrat, and certainly not a republican. However, based upon Ron Paul's clear, insightful view of this situation, I'd vote for him as president based upon his questioning of the government's need to place blame on others for its own ineptitude and warmongering.
This tyranny needs to be stopped. To paraphrase the Joker from Batman: "This country needs an enema!". Amen brother, amen.
I am paralyzed from the chest down. If this incident happened to me after explicitly attempting to inform them of the issue, I would be absolutely enraged. This type of callous insensitivity to one's medical requirements is inexcusable and a frickin apology from Pistole' just doesn't cover the humiliation and extreme inconvenience involved.
Relevancy?
This article would have been more relevant like two weeks ago when this video was all over the interwebz:
"Hilarious 'North Korean propaganda' video...

That's what she said.
Re: >>We all buy computers without subsidies from our ISPs.
OK, my bad. I understand the point now. I put the emphasis on the wrong word in the sentence, which changed the intended message.
>>We all buy computers without subsidies from our ISPs.
Uhm, sorry Mike. I've never EVER bought a computer from any ISP to which I've ever subscribed. I just can't agree with your comparison here.

"How are comic fans who frequent B&N supposed to get these comics if the comics are not available in-store?"
Go to Amazon.

Word, Mike. If you hadn't had a write up of this, I'd have never heard of it. Hey, maybe you should hit him up for some sort of promo cut. :)

Why would a game have a chicken coop?
OH! You mean CO-OP. Gotcha.
