You guys need to teach marketing a thing or two: expressing respect for the accomplishments of your competitor while still laying out your product's advantages in a clear, earnest, non-snarky way is something I'd like to see more of out of MS. Also, OneNote rocks!

Maybe I'm just a fool, but I don't see a track in any of the soundtracks called The Destruction of Mordor. Anybody know what he's referring to?

That is the definition of victim blaming.

In the spirit of correcting misinformation, a friendly amendment: The court ruled that 215 did not in fact authorize the NSA's program like they claimed it did. Whether or not 215 is legal itself (i.e constitutional) is still an open question as far as the courts are concerned.

That's not fascism, that's just government.

Yes, international law would be a lot easier to implement if there was one big world government, and that was the aspiration of the U.N. But that's not might makes right, it's consent makes right. Just as majorities passing laws within a state can criminalize the behavior of a few, so too could a democratic world government make laws that punish states engaging in behavior the global community deems a big enough problem to devote limited resources to stopping. A government wielding power on behalf of the actual democratic will of the people is not inherently illegitimate.
