Don't they check the SSN against the listed name, Do, gender, etc...
Sure I would have something to put on a paper, but wouldn't it raise a red flag when the paper says it's a 23 year old Juan Gomez; and the SSN is for a 78 year old Martha Hicks on the other side of the country?
I once typo'd my SSN on a leasing agreement and the apt company asked me to redo it as the information did not match up.
Except it's not being promoted aside from how the public has taken it upon itself to run with it. You don;t have to pursue the homosexual options in the game, they are optional.
*On a more personal note, if you against gays having the same rights (marriage) as straights, you kind of are by definition anti-gay. "I'm not a misogynistic I just think woman should be kept in the kitchen." "I'm not racist I just think blacks should have stayed on the plantations."
If it was strictly a matter of theology I would agree it should be up to the church, but so long as the insurance companies cannot insure a domestic partner, nor the government grant tax benefits to domestic partners, nor hospitals allow visitation to domestic partners; then it is a federal mater and the church should have zero say.
It's funny since after a few threads on troublesome releases of games a console is a more locked down PC. Try and play a game and it over heats your console, some suggested you patch it, while others suggest you re-install it.
I forgot what platform they were talking about after reading the fixes as it's the same stuff you'd hear for the PC.
I was rather late to the console party. I got a PS3 for it's media capabilities, but picked up a few used/sale games due to how cheap they were; I mostly play them when I have a parry, let them out and let people manage playing them for themselves. I have not and will not drop $60 for a new game, I don't even do that with my PC which is my primary gaming platform.
Sadly, I can guarantee you that unless the perpetrator was brown skinned or a Muslim you won't hear the word TERRORIST associated to that attack in the MSM.
If it was a White Extremest Christian my money is on property damage, or arson at most.
But you're forgetting, she is OK with all this attention so long as it's from people she find's attractive. If an ugly person chats her up it's offensive, but if a dozen good looking guys do then there is no complaint.
I think you're missing the point. If she wants to dress that way for herself, great.
You comment regarding my nail polish makes no sense. I act in a manner which garners attention; just as she is acting in a manner which garners attention. If anything I would have a better understanding of "what women go through" for the simple fact that I too now have people turning their heads. Only instead of lust it's in surprise/curiosity. I act in this manner due to my own personal motivation, just as she acts based on her own personal motivation.
However regardless of her motivation she has taken upon herself to engage in behavior that will cause her to stand out from the norm. She cannot then claim offense because people notice this deviation. Just as I too stand out from the norm.
Her idea of hitting on her is not cat-calling (Hey Sexy, come on over here!, etc...) her idea of hitting on is a guy commenting on the rainy weather when riding in an elevator.
She goes of her way to be objectified, but then claims offense if she gets attention from a guy she does not like. If you're an attractive woman who walks around in an suggestive outfit, don't be surprised when someone turns their head.
I paint my nails black and often catch people of both genders looking, even get chatted up by some women and (i assume) gay men. Should I be offended because people who I find sexually unattractive look at something that is attention grabbing?
Chicks seem fine with guys knowing everything about them, so long s they are attractive and got money. One of my coworkers will regularly have one night stands but throw a fit if a guy she does not like hits on her in a public place.
And in five years when they take the servers offline? (Didn't EA take a sports game servers down after like four yrs?) We would have zero legal recourse to continue to play a game we may very well enjoy and invested hours playing, not to mention paid for.
I personally still play quite a few old games, going back 10+ years from studios which are no longer in business.
My GF's truck is over 10 years old, still runs well; would you say Mazda should be able to come and remotely disable her truck when they felt like it?
Minor thing, Steam games need to be prepared for offline play.
You cannot suddenly loose your internet connection and just play in Offline Mode, you'll need to download some needed files first to enable the offline play. So if you're going on a trip and wont have internet access or planning to move and it'll be a few days till the internet is on at your new place; THEN you can prepare beforehand and play in Offline Mode.
The illegal patch, which they could still have action brought against them a decade after the game's activation servers were brought offline.
Remember as part of the DMCA you cannot bypass copyright restrictions, so even if there is no always-on DRM, if you so much as use a no-cd crack you might find yourself getting a problematic letter in the mail.
Comcast is saying they wont bill you for the data use for staying within their intranet basically. Since you're going to one of THEIR servers, vs. someone else's.
Netflix cannot simply park a node on some Comcast fiber and get the same benefit, since it would not be going to a Comcast owned/operated server. If I hosted a server from my own home (on Comcast) then if other Comcast subscribers connected to it, the BW usage would still count.
Plus most employees with an expense account, probably have enough of a salary to buy one on their own anyways.
First level rep in TS who answers your phone call, does not have an expense account. VP of Operations who fly's to a different city on a regular basis, does have one.

So is there no recourse in such a case?
If the CC company wont allow you or the police to pursue the matter.

Hey Stalker!
Yea, is the start-up actually using any of the text from the established publishers?
If not then I don't see how they can claim copyright.

Yea, I was looking at some online rentals and they were like $5 each.
Fuck that, that price is more then Blockbuster ever was, and I would only be able to watch it once and had to do it within 24 hours.

Well there are terrorist attacks in other parts of the world, not nearly as frequent as the TSA would have you believe though.

She cannot have it both ways.
I think you're missing the point.

Walking around in a suggestive outfit then being offended because men look at you is not right.
I think you misunderstood my post.
I am using her definitions here...
Her idea of hitting on her is not cat-calling (Hey Sexy, come on over here!, etc...) her idea of hitting on is a guy commenting on the rainy weather when riding in an elevator.
She goes of her way to be objectified, but then claims offense if she gets attention from a guy she does not like. If you're an attractive woman who walks around in an suggestive outfit, don't be surprised when someone turns their head.

Not even that...
Chicks seem fine with guys knowing everything about them, so long s they are attractive and got money.
One of my coworkers will regularly have one night stands but throw a fit if a guy she does not like hits on her in a public place.
SHUT UP.
You might give him ideas.
And in five years when they take the servers offline? (Didn't EA take a sports game servers down after like four yrs?)

My wallet thanks them...
Now when is the next Steam sale?
The illegal patch, which they could still have action brought against them a decade after the game's activation servers were brought offline.

Personally I have found the cellphone based GPS SW is far better then the normal stand alone ones.
Yea, I would say something the size of a micro-SD card is the smallest you should go and still retain "portability".
Reminds me of that time on Futurama where Amy's cell phone is so small she swallows it on accident.
Plus most employees with an expense account, probably have enough of a salary to buy one on their own anyways.
First level rep in TS who answers your phone call, does not have an expense account.
VP of Operations who fly's to a different city on a regular basis, does have one.
That's the part that stuck out with me too.
It's a nice microcosm of our current legal/political system.
