60 cups is enough to give you caffeine toxicity. I'm not sure how bad that is though, considering they induce it in newborn infants to prevent sleep apnea.
Your downloads aren't linked to your console they're linked to your account. As in your account keeps a record of your purchases, so you can redownload all your purchases if you have to get another xbox. Or if you wanted to sell your xbox, all you'd need to do is wipe the hard drive and you're good to go.
A similar thing happened to me. I bought a blu-ray player, then one day I came home and found my house ransacked and my blu-ray player was gone. I'm still waiting for Samsung to send my blu-ray player back with the updates.
I don't have any problems with these companies being vigilant about their update services. I just really wish they wouldn't spraypaint swastikas on my furniture.
The droves of victims of this economic collapse all paid into the EI fund from their own paycheques while they were working. Also when you apply online you get your cheques sooner. So that's the reason people would be doing that. Plus when you apply for EI online you have to go into the office anyway to drop off your ROE. Plus a number of cities have amalgamated their EI offices into other offices as well, so it's a bloody ordeal just going in to just drop the papers off.
Legitimate power may come from the bottom, but all the people capable of changing things are stuck in the middle.
Slashdot had an article a few days ago about the insane cheapness of text messages. Something to the effect of your monthly cellphone bill could pay for all the text messages ever transmitted world wide since the advent of text messages. Something like that is so appalling you'd think people would be crucifying the cell providers. But no, they don't. No riots, nobody particularly cares.
So what're the odds of some sort of memo surfacing from a jilted SafeNet from the RIAA saying something to the effect of 'Use any means possible! We have good lawyers! Don't worry about breaking the law! These fools can't fight us, this is America!! And in this country the laws are written by the people with the most money! Namely US! The RIAA, and all our members! Wahahaha!'? Aside from the obvious self incrimination I mean.
In a later statement the IWF said 'Don't you worry, this is a minor setback. Rest assured, wherever there are naked children, we'll be watching, ready to pounce'
Just curious, why is the health of this person relevant in the case? I assume the RIAA didn't know this person was actually sick before they went after them. Course you can always get conspiratorial about this situation.
It's pretty obvious this would qualify as an act of war. I think it's in everybody's best interest if the United States retaliated by saying they're not going to pay off their debt to China. Also maybe putting up some sort of trade embargo against them.
I mean what's China gonna do? What's the worst that could happen in a situation like that? I think China would probably learn their lesson and become good.
I should have figured. I've been following Super Mario's twitter all week and he's done nothing but rave about the PS3. At least I still have Coca Cola Classic's twitter to fall back on. That guy drinks so much Pepsi.
I think the reason people are dismissive is because by and large these game courses are a scam. The school I studied animation at also offered a 'games' program, which was heralded as the most expensive in the country, at a whopping $60 000 for the one year course. In that one year they tried to cram everything on your list into the curriculum. That's sensory overload for anybody. Needless to say the graduates of the program were pretty much awful at every aspect of their studies, and a lot poorer for their efforts.
From my experience there isn't much point in trying to cram that much into a gaming program. Especially the artistic side of things. Looking at most job boards, companies are primarily looking for either programmers or artists. As a programmer being able to animate, or model is an asset, but when they get into a studio they'll very likely be hired on for one specific position.
You wouldn't be able to have a revolution in Britain. Somebody might get offended then the whole thing would be sued for violating somebody else's 'human rights', then that'd be the end of it.
Your reply was so astute I completely fell back in my chair and cracked my skull on the table behind me, then had to go to the hospital and get 23 stitches.
Seriously. It's all the trend of the people who do all the programming having no idea what the hell people use their software for and just program things they think it's cool but artists have no bloody use for. People who program 3D especially are as unreceptive to change requests as they come. Hence my disgust at this new useless software.
Adding the ability to draw curves in the perspective window doesn't actually do anything helpful to the NURBS modeling workflow. It would be so nice if people responsible for making 3D software would actually fix the tools they've already implemented rather than introducing superfluous new ones that don't help anything. Please, if you science types actually want to make a genuinely appreciated contribution to 3D graphics, fix the bevel tool in Maya, also while you're at it modify the sculpt tools in Maya so they don't just make the geometry explode, and maybe add a 'make planiar' function. That would really be useful. Also the skin weighting tools could use some improvements. Like add a better visual feedback to what's associated with what and completely ditch the paint function. Also make it so I don't have to go into the component editor and babysit every vertex while I'm skin weighting. Oh yeah also, I'd really appreciate it if you'd make it so keys I set on constraints would show up on the time slider, giving them a different colour than red would also be handy. And when using constraints when the constraint is set to zero it should constrain to the world, not snap back to the origin. That's just a bloody headache.
The idea is they're trying to figure out how smell actually works. There're some crazy problems with figuring out how and why smell works, like the shape of the molecules coming into contact with the receptors, and why two completely different molecules can be interpreted as the same smell, and why two molecules of similar makeup can produce completely different smells. It's not just a matter of slapping some pads on the inside of a silicon nose.
Before I parted ways with Bell Canada I emailed them and asked why is it Japan has such great high speed infrastructure, and ours is so lousy. I think their response is quite telling of the attitudes over here in North America.
"Dear Valued Customer
We here at Bell would like to point out that despite their 1gbps connections, Japan still has monkeys that get inside peoples houses and cause all sorts of trouble. So really when you think about it, they need those high speed lines over there because most of the time they're fending off monkeys. Whereas here in North America we have no monkeys, and therefore 1.5mbps is more than an acceptable connection speed."
No no no. You didn't read the full article. Windows 7 only takes up 2 gigs. The rest of the space on the hard drives they're handing out is full of porn and stolen credit card numbers.
Maybe it's just me. But I never thought Halo had any potential to branch out into all these games they're trying to make it into. The entire series revolves around the life and times of Master Chief. Once you leave that it's pretty much as generic as carbon copy sci-fi shooters get (and it was pretty generic to begin with). I know they said the same thing about Super Mario (or at least for the sake of this argument they did) but in the case of those games all the characters weren't a bunch of space marines in green outfits.
I can only imagine. The ISS will get hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA because some freeloading college kids are accessing their network to download music.
'Good thing that bill expanding healthcare to ensure all Canadians have a doctor got turfed. A DMCA bill was also attached to it.' 'Good thing that bill that finally repays all debt for all the abuse our native peoples have endured over the years got turfed. A DMCA bill as attached to it' 'Good thing that affordable housing bill got turfed. A DMCA bill was attached to it' 'Good thing that bill raising taxes for the top 1% wealthiest people in the country got turfed. A DMCA bill was attached to it'
At least the DMCA bill never got passed. The only thing that's actually important in any country is copyright laws.

How does one go about getting mainstream press coverage for something the press doesn't actually care about?

Bad news for all the people who use Scottish spellings of their name I guess. A lot of women named Manrika are going to be pretty annoyed.

EA's like the Hydra! They cancel one crappy game, and two others will be released in it's stead!

They can, but only before the next full moon. If they fail to file before that time their lawyers will have to return to hell until the next equinox..

"Where does that leave its citizens?" $700 billion in the hole
I can only imagine. The ISS will get hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA because some freeloading college kids are accessing their network to download music.
What a stupid thing to say.
'Good thing that bill expanding healthcare to ensure all Canadians have a doctor got turfed. A DMCA bill was also attached to it.'
'Good thing that bill that finally repays all debt for all the abuse our native peoples have endured over the years got turfed. A DMCA bill as attached to it'
'Good thing that affordable housing bill got turfed. A DMCA bill was attached to it'
'Good thing that bill raising taxes for the top 1% wealthiest people in the country got turfed. A DMCA bill was attached to it'
At least the DMCA bill never got passed. The only thing that's actually important in any country is copyright laws.
