  Correct me if I'm wrong(I'm not), but his was a mixture of both. The Newspeak reference was from 1984 while "Strength through Unity. Unity through Faith." is from V for Vendetta.

  Re: Re:

  Voil?! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.
  
  This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
  
  The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-?-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
  
  How fitting of you to quote that movie. I've got this set as my wallpaper.

  Ron Paul 2012

  The main difference is their are still a lot more people who still believe politics in this country is real than those who still think wrestling is.
  While this is true for the most part, there are a few that actually believe in what they're saying.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Ok, I checked out the structure of the companies involved.
  
  There are three that you need to be aware of: ZeniMax Media, Bethesda Softworks, & Bethesda Game Studios.
  
  ZeniMax is the umbrella company. Bethesda Softworks is a division of ZeniMax that publishes games made by Bethesda Game Studios which is a subsidiary of ZeniMax.
  
  The difference between a division and a subsidiary is that a division is legally the same entity as its parent company while a subsidiary is an entirely different company but is owned by its parent company.

  Publishers are Bethesda Softworks & 2k Games.
  
  So, they are developer and publisher. I haven't seen the brief, but Notch specifically says "Bethesda's lawyers."
  
  Anyone have any information that I don't on this?

  Re:

  Are you pointing out the typo? If so, I have two things to say about that:
  
  1)It's a typo. Let it go.
  
  2)Neither of the two options that you came up with are correct, and would make it worse. I didn't even notice the typo until I reread it three times trying to decipher your useless post.

• On the post: Insanity: Getting Worked Up Over One Company's Slight Change Of Opinion In The Creditworthiness Of The US

  Well, I can see this morning being a prime opportunity to buy up US bonds at less than face value. Sure, banks may want to get rid of them, but individuals will want to buy them up since they will be cheap.
  
  Now, this will most likely mean that a lot of money will be soaked up, but in the long run, it's going to funnel money into the hands of individuals.
  
  So, what I expect is a huge blow to the market, then a very slow but steady recovery once everyone realizes that this downgrade doesn't mean shit.

  Re: Don't know what you're talking about again.

  ...demonstrated ignorance on patents.
  Underhanded and unnecessary.
  
  they need to sell their U.S. treasury holdings
  They don't want to do that since they won't get face value.
  
  ignore the S&P rating in favor of Moody's rating
  This is what most organizations will probably end up doing. This doesn't force them to lose a ton of money short term, and still fits within their policy.
  
  amend their policy
  Most organizations won't change their policies. There's no point in having policies if you don't enforce them as they are.

  So, you're saying that mainstream media is saying something that's incorrect causing people believe it and repeat it as truth?
  
  How am supposed to live in a world where I can't accept everything I hear on the news as fact? The government should really control the media so that we don't have this kind of problem anymore.
