You think we could get Texas to secede if we asked them real nice? We can give them Arizona and a state to be named later, as long as they promise to never tell anyone that they were once part of the United States.
That wouldn't work -- existing historical records show that Texas has been part of the United States, and people would always be available to read those, and they wouldn't ignore them just because Texas claimed something in contradiction of all the evidence.
Just send a note to Mini-Truth and they'll take care of it. Because he who controls the present controls the past, and he who controls the past controls the future.
We are at war with East Asia, we have always been at war with East Asia.
It really depends on your phone. Windows Mobile has had free apps to tether phones as modems (usb/bluetooth/wifi accesspoint) and it's transparent to VZW. I pay my $30/mo "unlimitted" smartphone data plan and that's it, no need to pay for "tethering" crap. To my knowledge android has similar apps, but for BB.. you're SoL.
Why does it always have to be a "fight"?... (I catch what you're saying; but a society apparently spawning the habit of presenting everything as a fight has another set of problems)
Because we couldn't have "Freedom Fighters" without the "fight" part.
Was there or was there not an independent nation called Texas from 1836 to 1846?
Louisiana Territory was full of Americans. That doesn't mean we didn't get it from France.
Yes, but we bought the Louisiana Territory. Texas would be the equivalent of Canadians moving into Michigan, then claiming Michigan as an independent nation, and finally taking the independent nation and joining Canada.
Before I had any college experience though, there was an opening at Bioware, before they released Mass Effect - so pretty much just before they got as famous as they are now. I really wanted to apply but they stated they wanted some experience before taking someone on for the position (I believe it was lead level designer). Shucks.
No offense dude, but Bioware was pretty well known long before Mass Effect. Yes Mass Effect got their name out to the console crowd and maybe some of the fringe gamers, but anyone that really enjoyed RPGs with quality story lines knew of Bioware long before Mass Effect.
Bioware had worked with Black Isle on the Baldur's Gate saga, started the Neverwinter Nights saga, and did Knights of the Old Republic. All long before Mass Effect was likely even thought up.
Well AFAIK The Dragon Age engine is based on the same engine used for KOTOR and many other Bioware games, just updated for the modern era.
Actually, it doesn't.
Mass Effect uses the Eclipse engine. This is considered a wholly new engine (although it doubtlessly shares some code from earlier projects, just because it is the same development house and performs similar functions).
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 and Jade Empire used the Odyssey engine. This in turn was based on the Aurora engine, first used in the Neverwinter Nights games (as well as a number of third-party titles).
Prior to that, of course, Bioware used the venerable Infinity engine, which powered Planescape Torment, the Baldur's Gate and the Icewind Dale games.
Close. Mass Effect actually uses the Unreal 3 engine.
The first time you tried to steamroll the border we burned your little White House down.
Psh. That because you were still under the King's thumb, it was his navy that came in and sacked DC. Although now days, there's really no need to invade America Jr. USAF already patrols the non-joining borders around Canada, and with all the work programs/trade between the two countries the only thing actually separating us would be the respective governments.
You will also notice that these 'pledges' don't do very much in the long run. IBM, Google, Microsoft, Novell, Red Hat and Apple all have 'pledged' some type of protection for their open source ancestors but those things are not legally binding no matter what they might say about it (I think it's MSFT that has such a claim).
That's also why you should avoid implementing any of their proprietary crap in your Open Source project (or any project that's being made public or sold in any shape or form) because if for any reason they want to leverage their arbitrary licenses on it, they can no matter what they have promised whether it's uncanny legal speak or so-called patent pools.
Actually, if there is evidence or a precedent has set for non-enforcement of those patents in regards to other projects, then their pledge is legally binding. The OSS project would just have to show the judge that the patent owner had previous failed to enforce the against pre-existing projects, and the patent holder's argument would fall apart.
How many people are on at peak in the legitimate servers? It's important to know for the statistic to make any comparative sense.
The bulk of the game is oriented around large teams of players which are extremely hard to form without a large base to draw from.
They've dumbed it down alot. Now all you need is a solid 10 players and you're fine, if you can scrounge up 25 players you can do all the most difficult (current) endgame content. The 40 man raids are slated to be removed from WoW completely with the next expansion.
And if the past couple years of financial unrest has taught us anything, the market and its analysts aren't nearly as knowledgeable as we are led to believe. A great example would be the people that followed Jim Cramer on Mad Money, the best option was doing the exact opposite of what he said. It is a mixture of corporations playing with numbers to look better than they are, and the herd mentality of investors.
Yes, I agree. The sale of 50,000 to 1,000,000 (initial) units is hardly enough to even make the internet blink, let alone take a dramatic turn away from a product that has been an internet changer for the past decade. Considering the lack of standard implementation of HTML 5 you won't see much impact for a long time to come. Flash has helped monetize the web and the investment is considerable. Nothing Apple will do will change that overnight, and attempts like this look shrill to the educated masses.
Any claim of an impact the iPad has (or will have for the next couple years) is an exaggeration.
Too bad those of us that pay attention to upcoming technology standards and trends are too few and far inbetween. The under-educated masses that apple targets will eat this propaganda up just like "Apple created the MP3 player" (wrong) "Apple Created the world's best tablet!" (bullshit) etc.
The judge just invalidated corporate patents that restricted others from working on trying to cure problems from "patented" genes without paying royalties.
I'm running a HIS 4870 with Catalyst 9.10 drivers.
L4D2 runs flawless, although the game itself pales in comparison to the original
My system is rock-solid stable with no issues what-so-ever, that with 'rebooting' once a week and just sleeping the rest of the time
What operating system are you installing? XP? The 5970 is relatively "new" in terms of OS and unless you're running 7 you would be better off slip-streaming drivers into the OS disc so that you have guaranteed hardware support for all the newer tech in the 5xxx series
I run the catalyst driver installer, it handles everything else with no need for safe mode or a driver cleaner at all
GTA 4 runs flawless
Why the fuck are you trying to SLI an ATI card? ATI uses cross-fire, SLI is nVidia's junk tech (former SLI owner, horrible motherboard chipsets with the 6xx/7xx series board and poor quality control from vendors like eVGA).
Honestly, if you've been having that many problems and you haven't tried a fresh install with a slip-streamed OS disc it's going to be user error and not hardware.
But wouldn't that be reverse-engineering, a breach of copyright, a breach of DMCA due to the two aforementioned parts, and be opening a different can of worms for legal action against you.

Nano-itx carpc with WWAN IP bound to a dyndns account running FTP or shell access would be a good start.

Remember, 14/70 is bare minimum, so you can only shave off 17.1% off your score.
It was posted awhile back that the large shops like ATT/VZW require ID, but a number of mom & pop shops don't require IDs.

Luckily a third-party group started to automate the process and bring it closer to release.

does this mean we will need to bail them out as well?
That might be rough, I hear they have a lot of sunken assets.
Silly Americans ....

It's similar to Microsoft's visual studios, only significantly less useful for the price.
