It's the wave of the future for marketing products. What better way to get people to buy more product than to condition them that you get rid of broken stuff and then inform them when a single thread is broken?
This is how it all begins. Soon each thread in your clothing will have an IPv6 stack powered by the static built up by movement. Then when it detects a thread break, it sends a notification to your iDoEverything to let you know your shirt is damaged.
Yes, this is how we'll end up running out of IPv6 addresses, thermometers and light bulbs.
However, seeing as though they will be showing MacGyver, Google will only have a paper clip, post-it notes, and 4 bullet casings to complete the objective.
The Burger King blurb in Iron Man was done very well. It worked with the Tony Stark character they put out and I didn't find any problem believing that Mr. Stark wanted a couple juicy BK Whopper's after getting back from a diet of bad water and who knows what he ate.
That's the whole thing, the advert has to work within the context. They could have put ads on billboards in GTA4 and it wouldn't have bothered me.
Well, we haven't had Presidential elections since 1776, only 1789, but Washington was uncontested in 1789, so we've only had Presidential elections since 1792 for 216 years.
In a tree doesn't mean up in a tree, a cow could try passing between two trees that are a bit too close together for it to fit through and it gets stuck.
There's a fundamental difference between painting a sign and herding cattle. One deals with an inanimate object, the other deals a stupid living creature.
They say the same thing about Lolret. I now drink the tears of whiners that are complaining about Blizzard's stance that hybrid DPS will be comparable to pure DPS classes.
I would like to see proof where it says it applies to anyone on our turf, because as I read the Constitution's Preamble, I see this...
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
It was established by "the People of the United States" which means citizens of the United States.
It also says "to ourselves and our Posterity" after all the purposes of the Constitution are declared, meaning to them and their children. In other words citizens and those born to them.
Really, if it says it applies to people that aren't citizens, I would love to see the quote.
You make an excellent point. A community reviewed and verifiable voting machine system is the best way to ensure that the voters have faith in the vote. Democracy as a concept is worthless if the voters have no ability to verify the vote. If voters can not have faith in the system of elections, then the voters cannot have faith in their government. Electronic voting machines are eroding voters faith in their government and faith in democracy. It's hard to convince people to trust their government if they can't even trust the system that elects the government.
You know the problems with these machines and I know the problems, but are you willing to bet (and how much) that the majority of Americans are aware of the problem or even care? Ask yourself how much you would be willing to bet that the majority of Americans care, and if you can't justify a significant amount of assets, you'll have your answer.
All entertainment is based on the assumption that you enjoy the product being sold to the point where you're going to pay for it. Comparing the cost per hour of various forms of entertainment is a completely valid comparison.
For example, let's say you go to a 2 hour movie for $8. The cost is $4/hr. Likely the enjoyment from one hour of a movie is going to be more than one hour of playing WoW. However at $0.34/hr WoW is hardly a good comparison. Is approximately 24 hours of WoW just as enjoyable as a 2 hour movie? If the 24 hours of WoW are likely to be more enjoyable than a 2 hour movie, then WoW is the better deal since you're getting more satisfaction for the money you're spending.

Right, because we're solving the world's problems here on /.
I was going to say that isn't drop dead gorgeous just to spite you, but I can't.

Are they related to DataDyne?

Hmm, I live in Indiana on the Ohio border, I could just hop over there, come up with some BS registration information and vote for whoever I want?
Brilliant!
Speaking of the voting record, I'm not sure how Obama can be considered more bi-partisan when he doesn't vote against his party.
Silly elves and dwarfs. You neglect the goblins and orcs! They're people too.
For extra credit, create a vehicle that can fly, go into space and submerge to the deepest portions of the ocean.

Lolret, retnoob, freehk. There's multiple false names people call retribution paladins.

I'd mod you insightful if I had the points.
I recommend the epic fail.

Did someone say 16th Amendment?

You too can be a border security agent too!
Just pass a rigorous job placement exam, "Yup, this one's breathing," and you're on your way to joining the elite border security agent corp!
In California, everything is a health hazard.
Critical thinking will never be in high schools as long as we have programs like No Child Left Behind.
