If the advice is ALWAYS "buy", then it is not insider trading. You aren't making your decisions based on any inside knowledge - in fact, you aren't making decisions at all, since you are always buying.
Not every discussion of a feature that WoW poached is a discussion about WoW.
Paladins, as a character class in an RPG, predate WoW by a few decades. So, take your whining about your retribution Paladin to a discussion board that cares... if you can find one.
This AC is right. In TFA it mentions all the shady things they had to do to come up with this total. These people should be arrested, not lauded. They are cheating the system, and making it harder for honest people to get any awards.
It's probably a bot of some kind (Captchas are notoriously imperfect) which someone with an agenda is using to post on every board they possibly can.
Usually the agenda is money related, but sometimes it's religion or politics.
In this particular case, hard to tell - probably religion.
I mean, you could probably make a fairly successful song if you sampled an old live Rolling Stones concert and played the main hook backwards over and over.
Unless they come to my house and compare the files on my computer with the CDs in my collection, there's no way they can tell what's legal and what isn't.
Uh... BRB I have to go lock some doors and turn out some lights.
Even then they wouldn't be able to. For all they know, the files were copied as fair use BACKUPS for CDs which were subsequently destroyed in a flood/fire/hurricane. Since they are backups, you have every right to listen to them even after the original media is gone.
Yourself included, since card failure is an independent event. The chance of any card failing is - tadaa, 20%. Just like if I have 3 dice, the chance of rolling a number is 1/6. If I roll it again, the chance is still 1/6. It will always be 1/6.
I'm not sure what you are talking about with this unrelated dice example, but the GP is correct. The chance of neither failing is.8 *.8 =.64.
The chance of at least one failing is therefore 1 -.64 =.36.
36%, as the guy said. Where did you go to school again?
For your dice example, here is a more analogous one:
If I roll a six-sided die 3 times, what are the chances it will come up "6" at least once?
Chance of it not being six at all = 5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 = 125/216 (~.58). The chance of it coming up 6 at least once is ~(1 -.58) or roughly 42%.
They also do it with gas (in the U.S. at least). Have you ever noticed all the gas prices have.009 added to the end. It's not $3.75 gas, like the sign *looks* like at first glance - but rather $3.759 gas. But, it's so commonplace, that we still tell people "I got gas at $3.75 a gallon". It's just another form of pricing bullshit, just like the "under a buck" menu at fast food places that, when you factor in tax (in most states), never actually cost less than a dollar.
Naw, Santa's ok. He doesn't use a database, he uses elves. Sure the response time isn't as good (especially for the older ones), but it sure beats getting sued!
Coincidentally, he uses this same method to avoid patents held by Mattel, Radio Flyer, Samsung, and Purina.

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that mild forms of violence would always be pretty?
Only if they result in a coma.
I hear those coma fantasies can be pretty kick ass.

No, that title would be stupid on many levels.

Lisa doesn't say "spacious reasoning", she says "specious reasoning". The words are very, very different in meaning...
If I ever sold anything to EA I'd make sure to put in the EULA somewhere that I get to crack them in the face with a lump of wood then key their car.
Sadly, EA is a faceless corporation that uses public transportation.
These laws you mention are suspended as it relates to patented material until the patent expires.

Neither, they just know that the first few iterations won't work quite, and it'll make eSpace seem less trite.
This seems like kind of a flimsy IP to base an MMO on. Aren't there dozens of better choices?

You should write the algebra entry.

But is it customer centric?
Dude, don't be a dick.
Unless of course they did it on purpose as an easy way to draw attention to the project.
You're right, of course. There certainly appears to be an abundance of condescension and arrogance on slashdot.
Eleven years, actually (till 2019). It will take longer in practice, I'm sure, but you should check your figures before posting.
He wasn't quoting a figure, he was asking a question. But don't let that stop you from answering his question in a condescending and arrogant manner.
And it's particularly ironic since her biggest hit, "I think we're alone now" was a cheap knockoff of the original by Tommy James & the Shondells.
It's true, if some guy's carrying around a large handgun on his hip, you're less likely to comment on his mullet.
