I think most do; the idea that addicts have to hit rock bottom before reforming is mainly formed by arbitrarily discounting all the addicts that manage to cure themselves. They play too much, it harms them, they notice, have an internal struggle, and win.
I think that some of the consoling we do has the net effect of making addictions harder to kick. An addict SHOULDN'T wait until they hit rock bottom before they try to go straight, and as sure as hell nobody should be TELLING him that's what needs to happen. Sometimes it will happen, but some people have more resolve than others.
Well, if the pissed off Sheriff gets with his friend the pissed off District Attorney, Verizon may feel the sting. I imagine a lot of DAs would enjoy trying to soak a million dollar fine out of somebody, nowadays.
It might be worth considering that Champions Online is going to be released on the 360. That might be an inexpensive way to allow both of you to access at the same time. Consoles have their own sets of disadvantages and advantages over pcs.
Why are people so resistant to simply admitting it's a fashion accessory?
It's embarrassing to admit they're paying hundreds of dollars extra in order to purchase some plastic respect.
Not that it's wrong; it should be embarrassing. Apple needs to be careful, they're doing well but navigating in very fickle waters. The fashion tide can quickly turn.
There's not many shows that wouldn't be ruined by the main character's death. I don't think you can fairly call that out as a flaw of this series in particular.
I agree that Firefox is getting more bloated, it obviously has flaws, and (most worryingly) the mozilla foundation seems more and more interested in what features they can force down our throats, less interested in what we want.
However... all this is simply reducing the lead Firefox has over its competition. Despite the recent bloat, and the force-feeding of the damn awesomebar, it's still more productive than IE, more versatile than Chrome, and it is always the 1st install I do after putting windows on any machine. (Then... I visit oldversion.com to get pre-bloat versions of all the other necessary utilities.)
Or, the Republicans acted contrary to their stated principles. Thus, one could support most Republican principles while despising what the current Republicans in power do.
Really? Half of those bullet points were due to Republicans acting like Democrats. I have no doubt that list can be topped by the current administration. What they've already done to industry may be far worse than any consequence of the war.
That's close, but not strictly true. They are allowed to telemarket individuals with whom they have an established business relationship with, regardless of whether they're on the list or not. I believe that is defined as an order or a inquiry within the last 12 months. If they limit their calling to that subset, they do not need a DNC subscription.
In a free society, a hundred monopolists can be defeated by one guy with a good idea. It takes a corrupt government to remove that freedom. I absolutely agree with the grandparent.
A hundred Microsofts are better than one Venezuela.
Remember, the police have infinite resources to catch you.
No, they really don't, whether it's measured in money, interest, or skill. They won't get the NSA to help them crack your encryption, they won't get the FBI to help them, they won't bring in a team of forensic experts. Unless you've got some dirt on Nancy Pelosi, or seven schoolgirls buried in your backyard, they aren't going to bring in the big guns against you. It will be your local police force whose expertise probably consists of running a specific program that dumps IE cache and history. Maybe they can read email headers.
Your other points would work, and would be very helpful in a "Day of the Condor" type scenario, but if that's the case, the slashdot submitter has already signed their death warrant.

Well, then it's a pity that Palm hasn't learned anything from Microsoft.

I'm in the opposite boat, I guess. Everybody that I knew that played games in their 20s or 30s, plays them in their 40s. Why would you stop?

They are for consoles. I love my pc, but I'm a little surprised that companies even bother publishing games for it.
In fairness, he was probably like eleven when he wrote that.
Yes, if FSF and Cisco are lying or wrong, of course.
And both are free to follow their conscience. Ideally.
Speed Racer was a great, underappreciated movie on many levels. One of the best of 2008, in my opinion.

And if there was two, there's now one. Which any strategist knows is completely foolish.
Ah, well, we can just toss 50 million dollars towards building another hideaway.
In fact, the fact that he wasn't convicted proves he was guilty!
Right?
No, it did. You just have to look at the ultimate ramifications of various actions.
Death doesn't trump everything else. I'd rather have another Iraq war than have the Federal government seize control of banking and medicine.

"Can it be fun" should be the first question asked when designing a game, through every step of the process.
And the answer for a realistic modern warfare game, is "Of course."
That nearly merits a "Duh".

Was that sarcasm? Because it is illegal, and you can sue, even if you're only called once.

Could you could mute the song and upload it again?
