Personally I'm in favor of life imprisonment without the option of parole for cases where the death penalty is an option. Slap a DNR on them and lock them up. Given time I think being locked up properly with the knowledge if their crime would get to the conscience of all but the truly sociopathic. But maybe my faith in humanity is too high. Now along with that is a myriad of changes I'd like to see in the prison system, like the elimination of corporate / for profit jails. To me, that's incentivizing jail time, leading to false or unjust imprisonment and overcrowding, along with reform for drug sentencing (rehab and such for users, leave jail to the cookers and pushers), etc. Also, if we are intent on punishing murderers, what about when the death penalty is their goal? Timothy McVeigh (domestic terrorist, blew up a large building in Oklahoma City for the non-Americans, youngins) wanted to be put to death, and by golly we gave it to them. The whole process is costly and barbaric on top of being bigoted, and I don't really believe it deters crime as well. It should just be a relic of a bygone era.

same.

Oh man you guys are singing my song. I wrote a 10 page paper arguing against the Death Penalty for my Freshman English Comp class in college, and then had to hack away to make it fit. Suffice to say I'm staunchly against it, with a laundry list of reasons. The American prison system and Capital Punishment is a racist, sexist, bigoted, classist tool of oppression used by the State. That being said, it is also wildly hypocritical when used for those who actually belong imprisoned and are a threat to others. Why are we saving a man's life thrice over just to kill him later? (yes this actually happened) And as I alluded to before, Justice is anything but blind, especially in America. And as such, how many innocents have we put to State Sanctioned death? That's without debating the ethics of killing the mentally disabled who don't understand right from wrong completely (TEXAS). We have the high profile cases: Damien Echols (and a big FUCK YOU to the State of Arkansas for the chickenshit way they freed the WM3, avoiding the millions they would have had to rightfully pay the men for the lost years of their life), Mumia abu Jamal, but what about the lesser known, like the man exonerated by DNA evidence after 27 years on death row? There is no reason to maintain the farce that is the Death Penalty in our supposed civilized nation, but the prison system also needs major reform and a major overhaul. (tapatalk sucks at formating, I'm finding out)

I'd love to see an HD continuation of Galaxy. I still need to play 3d World, but I can't see it topping Galaxy.

that uproxx link kinda spoiled it all. Archer in Vice City, much? I'll watch the episode later today after I wake up.

we finally got to see Frozen the other day. I liked it as well. Nice that it broke some typical Disney story conventions, positive for little girls.

could this be a case of uncanny valley? I actually don't mind the second picture here. It almost looks like her right cheek (away from camera) has burn scarring in the newer one. The first set of pictures Jack posted I didn't care for the new version.

That's why I said it makes me want to, not that I'd do it.

makes me want to change my tag to xbox go home just to see who has a kinect on 360.

I've only used the OS for a couple of hours on a friends laptop trying to help him get some stuff figured out (install a printer etc), but from just playing around on it at first blush, I hated it. No real desire to install it on any of my systems right now.

how the hell you go about making a country album for a character in an animated sitcom… see also: Metalocalypse? Thrice over?

win7 has a long start up time? even before my ssd I never noticed it. I usually leave my computer on, like Atomsk said, I'll turn it off if I'm going to be gone for a few days. Otherwise the only time its off for any extended period of time is when my son decides to play with the power button. Wish I could find a decent case that had a power button cover.

I do like the influence creating the game has had on the show. It's definitely apparent with the new opening, the town has a more mapped out feel; Matt and Trey had said they never really thought of the actual town's layout until pressed about it by Obsidian.

I believe the Pi controls the light bar, the article mentions an android/ios app controls the led, allowing it to change colors or be turned off. Not sure how you'd access that part though. Edit: what's this about streaming? I thought steam machines were intended to run games natively, just in a small prebuilt form factor to fit in your entertainment console easily. How does the steamOS (heh, SOS) receive the stream from your main PC? --edit edit: ah okay I just looked at the steamOS page again, I missed that in home streaming section.

that 540 is kinda neat, and slightly cheaper than the 600t I was originally looking at.

Okay here's another look at that ibuypower one. http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/06/ibuypower-sbx/ that thing above/next to the hard drive? That's apparently a raspberry Pi. also: lol 4 GB ram.

I really like the look of that case, I think it looks neat. It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out.
