Vague curiosity, but no chance of being able to just jack the computer into your TV? Right kit would let you do that fairly easily, I think, if the TV's compatible with it.

Mind you I'm not sure of the details involved (never bothered trying, m'self -- don't own a TV) but I know a fair amount of folks that do just that.

Alternately just haul monitor+computer into other room

... did you read the article Siri? Folks are taking it to the court. Folks are raising awareness on the issue. Some are still trying to get new voters in, yes, but some can't afford to get over the new hurdles. This isn't a refusal for those ones, it is an incapable. There's a difference. They're fighting in other ways, but that particular avenue is blocked to them.

Ostensibly to protect the composition of whatever the hell they're shoving into the earth to get gas to come out, so that competitors don't steal the (presumably "better") formula. E: I... may be responding to the wrong thing. Whee! Re: Law preventing telling people, jabberjabber is.

Realistically, it's probably because whatever the frak they're frakking with is horrific and health destroying and they don't want it to become public knowledge/heavily researched because then laws would spring up stopping them from doing it (or they'd get lynched. Either/or.).

... basically it is a dystopian coverup. PR backlash in 3... 2... ohwaitgays! Distraction! Newsnewsnews, etc., so forth, so on. Mumblemutter.

They're mostly amoral sadistic hedonists, at least for a fair while. Like cats, yeah. It's not a long path from that to supervillainy, really.

Yo', yo', 'sup.

Roguelikes without permadeath... T4 has it, in one of the difficulty modes (Explorer) and a limited lives scheme in the default difficulty mode (Adventurer). Gearhead 1 has it, period, GH2 has it in a bit more limited manner. Dreadmore allows for it, yes. There's several more, but those are the big ones I can actually remember right now.

And yeah, several of the Mystery Dungeon games don't indulge.

"Free money for the rest of our lives!"

"No, no, that's a terrible idea. Let's have a considerably smaller lump sum now so we can spend it all and run the ever present risk of growing old in poverty."

"Oh... yeah, you make a good point. That's do that instead! Live the dream!"

*facepalm*

You have to learn The Pledge, Two Songs, Every president, Every 50 States and their capitals, as well as learn why America is cool and why they saved everyone in every war single handedly.

And we forget every last bit of it within a year or two of leaving high school... if not sooner. If we even remember it for more than a weekday or two after the last time the school tests us on it. If we even attempt to pass said bloody tests to begin with. Etc., so forth.

We should change it to swearing at the Bible. That would make things much more entertaining.

Yeaaah... america being america, I'd just kinda' note that just about everything that's being said for/against short-range jamming devices (so far) can be applied pretty directly in relation to firearms.

Mostly just noting that "potential for abuse" isn't exactly being consistently applied in this country. Whatever reason we've been (ostensibly) using to determine personal use laws, it's probably not that -- or at least a potential for abuse problem isn't sufficient in itself to restrict access.
