I own some 1500 CDs. A good number of the presses number in the low 100s. Once they're sold out, you're not likely to find a replacement, on Amazon of all places.
The execs see lots of upside when the stock goes up, and lots of downside (and pressure from senior leadership and stock holders) when the stock falls. The stock price and happy share holders are utmost in many executive's minds.
The government can do this because they are not beholden to the consumer. They can afford to offer awesome benefits and pensions that are not funded the same way as non-govn't workers (at least in Canada). Ultimately, they pay decent salaries, and you're set for life, if you want, and if they need to raise your taxes to 50% to finance this, they will and no one can stop them.
It violates safeguards put into the game to detect and shut down cheaters. The bot must get past the scanner, which safeguards the integrity of the IP, that is to be accessed by a living breathing person only.
It's a weak argument, like slapping down a plaintext password on some files and suing for copy protection breach when someone "breaks" this top notch security.
It's not that there are any damages, a claim I disagree with, or that botters are making other players' game experience much worse. They're just annoying. And obvious. Fighting all the mobs the same way. Taking the same path over and over, obviously avoiding areas with obstacles, or getting stuck on various geometry each and every pass. Killing mob A for hours and hours, then walking right by mob A heading to an area which is obviously devoid of mob A, because that's how their path is programmed. Bots are just plain obvious, if you spend 5 minutes watching them, and that is easy to do.
And now that I took time to read the Wiki link, I see that is exactly what it says. So for commercial VoIP, you would specifically NOT use hot-potato routing.
You would, if it is cheaper for you to maintain specific QoS on your traffic on you own network, rather than paying other carriers to respect your priority settings.
Funny, but doubtfull. Standard, off-the-shelf PCs are still plaguaed by relatively crappy bus bandwidth. They can't max them out, because memory can't keep up feeding data to crunch.
As for "removing the icon as the solution", you could not remove the ability to run the IE? I can well understand that it is nonsensical to remove every library the IE touches. It is of course impossible to remove Winsock or dnsapi (or kernel32) just because they are used in IE. But the program itself? Can't be removed? How is a program that runs in userspace, or should run there, critical to the system?
You seem to be confused.
Locate iexplore.exe and delete it. There, you've just removed IE from your system.
You are confused, because IE is just a dumb program that contains a big HTML canvas inside its window. HTML is rendered by an HTML rendering control.
Other places where the HTML control is used are Windows Explorer and Help system. Neither of these are 'critical' to the operation of the system, and if you remove the HTML render control they will not work. As expected. Also, the kernel does not use or call the HTML control. Therefore, you are free to remove this HTML library, but expect certain GUI elements and programs that use it to stop working. That is all the parent was trying to tell you.
I supposed you are also free to replace the control with your own version, assuming you can satisfy the API.
My package was "lost" (actually misplaced by the person who received it for me), so I contacted Amazon a few days after I was supposed to get my $200 package, and without any further prodding they resent the whole thing, at no cost to me. I did eventually find the original package and sent the second one back.
Of course, the fact that I've previosuly spent many thousands of dollars may have had something to do with it... but that's just good customer service.
Oh and as for the whole size matters. This is what one woman told me. When she masturbates she frequently doesn't even penetrate and when she does she uses at most 2 fingers.
A finger has something else though, that is far more important than size: it is flexible, and can reach and stimulate specific areas, in ways nothing else can. That is the whole point. The whole point of a penis, is to penetrate and fill up, and maximize the area it frictions over.
Masturbation and intercourse are two completely different things, and work on different levels. You can't say that since most women masturbate with their fingers, and often don't even penetrate, and then extrapolate that to sex with another person.
In that respect, I'd agree with another poster here: you've never had sex, on a regular basis anways. If you're comparing your unit, in size, to a finger, even the thumb, you need to have a very open and frank discussion with your woman about how she feels about it.
Size DOES matter, in very subtle ways that are not always obvious or apparent to the people involved.
I haven't used ICQ in ages, but I still remember my number, 4376986. I used to have a 5 digit ID, but forgot the password for it and had no way to retrieve it... a shame really.
For all the complaints about bloat, ICQ could be very nice and compact if you're willing to spend a couple minutes configuring it. The MSN window and footprint is gigantic by comparison, and I've never quite gotten used to the way it works. I liked all my ICQ incoming events to stay in the background, where they belong. If you have someone on MSN that likes to send a couple of words every 5 seconds, stream-of-consciousness like, you can't just ignore them for a few minutes and get some work done.

If you read your quote again, that is not what it is saying at all. It refers to [conferring] the greatest benefit on mankind, not when the discovery was made. It will often take many years or decades before theoretical research will confer any benefits on manking, usually only after it has been verified and has found a practical application.
But let's see. Taxes are required for any functioning society.
No they're not. Before 1862 (civil war) there were no taxes (not entirely true, there were, for a very short period of time), just levies and fees. The only reason government today needs to tax its citizens is because of social programs.
Seat belt laws have an economic basis -- namely an accident that you might have walked away from could wind up costing some insurance company a shitload of money.
More BS. Only reason it would cost an insurance company lots of money is that insurance companies are compelled to insure against stupidity. If you're in an accident, and don't have your seatbelt on, why should an insurance comapny pay for that? I agree, that insurance companies should have the OPTION for people to buy insurance against injury while not wearing a seatbelt. My insurance is now higher because the insurance company needs to account for possibility of such a payout fo EVERYONE. But why all the silly (yes, silly) laws to protect us from ourselves that evereyone ends up paying for?

Don't be obtuse.

Au contraire.
The execs see lots of upside when the stock goes up, and lots of downside (and pressure from senior leadership and stock holders) when the stock falls. The stock price and happy share holders are utmost in many executive's minds.
But even then some parts will be more naughty than others...

One of the concerns, which you don't, er, concern yourself with, is the environmental cost of manufacture.

The article in general is just rife with (mosly) unexplained acronyms:
SEO
SEM
TBPR
LGB
LSA
ROI
SES
SERP
From this we can conclude that the people who spam search engines (err... I mean 'optimize' web sites) really like confusing people with acronyms.

I had the opposite experience.
My package was "lost" (actually misplaced by the person who received it for me), so I contacted Amazon a few days after I was supposed to get my $200 package, and without any further prodding they resent the whole thing, at no cost to me. I did eventually find the original package and sent the second one back.

Doesn't matter, plenty of software is able to read it, and the format is not proprietary, so you can write your own.
Wasn't the number of playlist burns initially 10?

Yes, and they're both idiots. Your point? Are the two ideas mutually exclusive?
I believe the cannonical version is "as useful as tits on a bull". Or maybe not.
