Chances are you're relying on the sniper rifle too much. I'm playing an infiltrator and I had that problem at first, but I started mowing down the mooks with the SMG and biotics and saving the sniper rifle for when I needed to take out heavily armored/shielded enemies. I also bring 2 other biotics for my squad. Even with the cooldowns, between all three characters I can just bounce all of the enemies off walls/the floor or use a Pull/Warp to nuke the lot of them instead of wasting ammo.
Since when? I graduated HS in '04 and they were definitely teaching to the lowest common denominator at the time. Good ole NCLB. I wish they were teaching to the highest common denominator. It's better that the kids who are actually going to go on to higher education get a good foundation in high school than to set the bar low so that those who are just going back to the farm/McDonalds don't fail at anything.
I was a classic underachiever, none of the curriculum from elementary school onward was challenging enough and I never took school seriously because it was so dull. I got by with a C average by acing all the tests as I tended to skip school constantly and not bother with homework.
I really regret it now. Obviously, it's not just the school system's fault. I should have taken it more seriously, but I was a bored teenager. If the curriculum and been more engaging and challenging, I might have looked up from my books for more than correcting my teachers.
I'm thoroughly testing it, and thoroughly pleased. This is the first time in years I that I did not replace IE immediately. I've been using it for a couple weeks, now. One problem I eventually found is that Google Chrome won't install. IE has frozen several times (it's beta.) I hated Vista with a passion, but so far I am really happy with Windows 7.
Chrome installed without a problem for me, it was the first thing I did after installing 7 in a VM.
Your comparison does not take into account transportation impact. (Factory -> Store, Store -> Home) Nor of the discs themselves, which are eventually discarded and end up in a landfill. Also, the computer in your comparison often would have been running anyway, if that is the case, you cannot count the cost of electricity used against the cost of the CD production.
Honestly, that's what the window manager is there for.
I have to disagree, at least as it currently exists. When I'm working, it's not unusual for me to have 9-10 applications open with equally as many tabs open in Firefox and Notepad++. If there were no tabs and I had to deal with each as a separate window, it would be a nightmare to navigate. As it stands I can simply alt-tab between applications and ctrl-tab between tabs.
The most significant of these is that, as a former Final Fantasy XI player (where the level cap never went above 75), I must confess to being a bit worried by Blizzard's intention to slam the level cap up with 10 with every new expansion. What this essentially means is that any end-game gear you acquired before the expansion hit is immediately obsolete. Green is suddenly the new Purple. Effectively, this amounts to a complete end-game reboot every 12-18 months. While beneficial in some respects (shaking up the scene, letting newcomers get a foot on the ladder), in the long term it is just going to drive people away and kill the end-game scene for a few months before an expansion hits.
Not quite. I continued to use my Tier 2 gear all the way to 70, there weren't any real upgrades until Kara. I replaced a couple non-set epics, rings, cloak and the like, but I didn't don a full set of greens.

No, no, it's Russia that wants to annex Alaska.
Fortunately, we have Palin standing on the coast up there keeping a close eye on them.

The next WoW expansion will be introducing siege weapons and destructible buildings, so hopefully we'll see something along those lines.
