Yeah, they screwed with Liara far too much. How does one go from shy, immature archeologist to an info broker who threatens to kill people painfully if they don't pay? I mean, did all the Prothean ruins just go away?

Where is everyone?
It killed kotor.

Is it still possible to buy 32-bit single core processors?
There's this. That might work. Or just get an Atom netbook.

Gates Foundation donates $10 billion for vaccines
I'm sorry but this just reads like bitter vitriol from someone who's never even used an iPhone. I don't have one myself, nor want one, but I've seen enough of my friends use it and love it to know that you're full of ****. I had one, and absolutely hated it. I'm unique, I know, but not spewing "vitriol."

How about: His gift to the world is the most useless mobile phone.

Sorry Ashley... You're out... Heelllooo Miranda... Also, Mordin is epic... Grunt, on the other hand, not so much... He's a wanna-be... SuZe is a little freaky... And Jacob may be the blandest character in the history of gaming... The random marines in Halo have more of a personality...

Poor America... Poor democracy...
Yes, but most American politicians have been decidedly not socialist. The same unfortunately cannot be said for NObama.

The IRS is illegal too. Try and jail'em. The entire internal revenue code is illegal. J. This. It's great. America is finally getting around to realizing all he's ever said is hot air, but eloquent hot air.

Apple iPad
I'm getting one for movies and other things that are too big for my iTouch but not worth the hassle of lugging my laptop around to watch... It's just a big iTouch, but that's the point...

Let me ask you a couple questions...
Alright LoF, I'm bored and trying to take my mind off of Mass Effect, so, against my better judgment, here I go: In your warped view of reality, the government should have the ability to extend a firm "**** you" to the rich... The problem is, however, that the rich are rich for a reason: they have the capital that enables the economy to run successfully. When you remove this capital, you severely hamper possible economic progress. Capital distributed among many people can't be as efficient as capital clustered among the few, because not everyone has the same goal. You also labor under the delusion that redistributing wealth can be achieved without force. This is just plain damn wrong. The rich have a desire to stay that way, and really cannot be convinced not to do so without a gun to their heads. And why should they? Its their money. Some way or another, they gained it; this fact can't be made to "go away" because it doesn't mesh with your collectivist view. By your own logic, namely that property rights don't exist, the rich have done nothing wrong. What you claim they have taken from the poor doesn't actually belong to the poor, so they shouldn't complain. You say that economic planning works. It doesn't. The USSR's industrialization was only possible because of an anti-American surge of testosterone, coupled with the thinly veiled threat of death if production did not meet someone's approval. But the USSR's is the only example of successful, centralized industrial planning. Look at Mao's Great Leap Forward; it failed harder than the Iraq War. No appreciable industrialization was created; a crap-ton of corpses, however, were. /rant I'm done.

A Small, But Possible Request
Really LoF? Really? Ok then, I want this: but with lasers.

Let me ask you a couple questions...
Positive change can be made in every country, not just one. Imagine for a moment, a world where every country is communist except for, say, a Batista-run Cuba and a military junta in Korea. You still love capitalism, for some godforsaken reason. Would "If you love capitalism so much, move to Cuba" be a valid response? Yeah. If, somehow, America became Commie, I'd be on the first plane out.

If you love Communism so much, move to Cuba.

Because the USSR never exiled dissidents to hard labor. If you're good enough it is. In a Communist system, however, the opposite is true: talent is punished, and ineptitude is rewarded. You shouldn't. Thus, I agree with my grandparents, who carved out the inheritances based on merit. You deserve it because, in owning something, you exchanged money for something worth money. No. I believe in the government getting out of the economy and my life, instead focusing on keeping me safe with a military. By the same token, however, do you really believe in an open dictatorship by the poor and inept? No? Here's a theoretical example: Let's say I make $50k. In my neighborhood, there are 6 people who make $25k and two people who make $10k. By socialist logic, we should each obtain the average of our incomes, which is $22k. Therefore, $28k are taken from me. The taking of my property, by others, without my permission, is, by definition (using big, colorful letters to make sure you get it): THEFT! No, but climbing up the socioeconomic latter is possible in capitalism, but isn't in socialism, because everyone is artificially deemed "equal." Screw up enough times, you get fired. Plain and simple. Pain, murder, and suffering were achieved in the USSR. Any economic "advancement" was caused by threats of death. I'm tired of it because this is going nowhere. Half of my family is Cuban, so I've heard first-hand accounts of how ****ing awful Communism is. I'm never going to be convinced its good, or even not evil. You think Communism is better, and are absolutely resolute in this conviction. This is, therefore, pointless.

Here we go again... Nope. Nope. Have fun working to death in Siberia. Talent and brilliance will still get you up. Why should someone with no particular talent be awarded an undeserved socioeconomic status? Capital grants wealth because... Well... It is, by definition, wealth. It grants power because the government exists to preserve the economy, not the other way around. Socialism, by definition, employs just as much stealing as capitalism. Right. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates, et. al. definitely grew wealthy by having no talent or invested labor. No? They're rewarded for their successful decisions and investments. The "labor of others" exists because of the executives and the investors who drive the corporations. Without them, nothing can be achieved. EDIT: Also, I'm with Aram. This is getting old.
