There won't be a D4. Blizzard has no vested interest in putting out a new Diablo game until the RMAH stops bringing in decent cash flow. They've been releasing updates that are trying to drive more liquidity into that market. Paragon levels? Potential +300% MF? Yeah. More good items drop and more items can be put on the AH which is going to help drive prices downward.
At this point, I'd say Blizzard is more likely to push out a new IP than SC3 or D4.
There is abslolutely no reward or interest in fighting against/being beaten by anonymous opponents which have otherwise no personal connection to the player.
Explain the popularity of competitive ladders in Starcraft/Starcraft 2 or FPS like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Team Fortress 2.
Having to register Yes/No on whether you own weapons is more in line with needing to register to vote compared to having to register each weapon you own.
So... am I going to be the first one to ask.... is this carpet detecting urine, feces, sweat, snot, saliva, semen, vaginal fluid, and other fluids that could drip from the body to floor?
My problem with Origin is that EA wants to use it as their exclusive distribution platform and avoiding it isn't necessarily possible.
For example, I picked up Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on sale on Steam. If I want to play Mass Effect 3 (and have a carryover playthrough), I must now get the Origin regardless if I go through a digital distribution or buy the game from the store.
The former creates a criminal punishment for those that perform the activity and permits retributive justice against those who lack the ethic. The latter is an ethical consideration that is inherent to the person that could commit the act on the animal. In either case the right is not inherent to the animal but rather is expressed as an attribute of the human.
Just because you're incapable of filing to memory all your weapons and the order which they scroll and lack the manual dexterity to precisely and quickly scroll to the desired weapon does not mean the rest of us are incapable.
Further, weapon slots are designed in such a way the weapons are appropriately clustered. FPS have been greatly moving towards two weapon games. In fact, I cannot think of a game that has more than 3 combat weapons. So at most you're usually scrolling up or down ONCE to get to the other weapon.
There are laws that forbid cruel and unusual treatment of animals and there are various property rights that an owner has regarding pets or other animals that he owns.
Prop planes I think hit around 90 passengers at their peak and 40 passengers was probably around the best of the earliest offering.
Jetliners started to come into play around 1949 with around 40-50 seats initially and now we're up to the Airbus A380 which can fit anywhere from 525 to nearly 850 passengers.
In 1968, supersonic craft debuted with the Concorde at 92-120 passengers and the TU-144 at 80 passengers.
100 passengers for the first flying wing offerings would be very good based on our past history of new aircraft designs.
That Dawnguard will never reach the PS3 is more surprising than Dawnguard not being made available to the PS3 as DLC. This should not be a content size issue since I doubt that Skyrim utilizes the entire disk space of a Blu-Ray and it should be trivial for them to release an edition that includes Dawnguard and whatever other DLC they want to include. They've done this before with Oblivion and Fallout 3 GOTY editions that included all the released DLC.
Quite the opposite I would hazard to guess. If you're post is any indicative of the relationship between you and your mother-in-law I believe most people would be sadistic and bring her back.
Once the branch of mathematics is discovered that will solve such limits problems as division by zero and the speed of light; we could very well make that trip in a matter of minutes.
I keep telling people those problems are one in the same but no one believes me. We need to divide by zero to travel faster than the speed of light!
There is a ~$1,000 gas guzzler tax for any vehicle under a certain mpg.
The actual additional cost on the vehicle for violating CAFE is variable but it is $5.50 per vehicle for every 0.1mpg under the standard.
So for CAFE to impose $1,000 on a vehicle for violating CAFE, the fleet must be 18mpg under the standard. So in 2016, when the standard becomes 35.5mpg the fleet needs to be 17.5. The 2011 standard is 24.1mpg meaning the fleet would need to average a measly 6.1mpg to get $1,000 penalty per vehicle.
Regulation isn't there to protect anyone. It's only purpose is to serve as a punitive measure once your found out as having done wrong in accordance with the regulation.
It doesn't matter how much regulation gets put in place, idiots will still be idiots and end up parted from their money. Even if the crook is caught, the idiots will be lucky to get back a fraction of what they lost.
the cost of performing circumcisions and treating complications would be tiny in comparison to the savings from the resulting lower rates of HIV, HPV, herpes and urinary tract infections, as well as from lower rates of bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis in women. Each circumcision that is not performed costs the US health-care system US$313, the researchers estimate.
In fact, the figure of $313 is never even linked to cancer.
Interest on accounts is not something for nothing. There is an very obvious opportunity costs that comes with depositing your money. You lose control of it and you lose some access to it.
Look at interest bearing back accounts. There's typically a minimum balance that must be kept before you're assessed fees. CDs close off access entirely. Even in no account minimum interest bearing accounts you will often have to go into the bank itself (time) in order withdrawal all the funds and close the account.
The only real reason those accounts appear to be something for nothing is because the banks you deposit at are insured by the FDIC so you can't get scammed and the reality is that the only banks an American is likely to deal with that are not FDIC insured are international banks or are scams.
The best vehicle mpg is 112mpg, if I recall correctly but it's an electric.
From what I understand, it is an average of the fleet not the actual number of cars produced since the number of cars produced is more closely matched to demand which the standard cannot predict and if it's trying to just proves that the standard is asinine. The fleet is represented by each model you produce and offer. So if you produce a 40mpg SUV, a 32mpg light duty truck, and 56mph sedan, and a 72mpg hybrid, your average mpg is 50mpg. It doesn't matter if your sales are 25% SUVs, 25% trucks, 40% sedans, and 10% hybrids (which would would be an average of 47.6mpg). In neither case would that fleet meet the standard, so what the manufacturers do is produce some high priced models to fluff up the fleet average that practically no one will buy because of the price tag. They don't advertise it and they don't build any more than the prototype models and flag them as special order vehicles so they don't need to produce them.
To use real numbers.... You can get a Corvette ZR1 Coupe for $127k and it gets 19mpg. You'll see a couple high MPG models but their pricing is probably going to be six figures or close enough to it and the performance won't be near the ZR1 or the price may, in fact, exceed $127k. No sane person is going to want to order those high mpg cars when they can buy a ZR1 or they can go about and save the $50k on the price tag of the high mpg vehicle and buy a regular Corvette for about $50k.
For the sake of arguing about the savings costs in fuel... the average annual fuel cost of the 2012 Corvette (most models) is about $3,350. At best you're talking 15 years of ownership assuming these mythical $50k more expensive vehicles have no fuel costs. I haven't bothered to look up the numbers so I'll do it in a simple fashion. Let's say those unintended seller models get 4.5x the mpg of the Corvette 18mph * 4.5 = 81mpg. The annual fuel cost should be about $750. A savings of $2,600 every year. It would take 20 years of ownership before you see savings of purchasing the higher priced vehicle or some obscene rise in the price of gas.
And yes, you could theoretically get a used vehicle and the cost difference would be much less and the savings come quicker but the used vehicle comparison is pointless to make because that comparison must first be made for the new vehicle before the used vehicle can exist!
I465 around Indianapolis is 55mph. I65 in NW Indiana is 65 for most of it. You need to get south of the 4 NW counties for it to go to 70. I69 in NE Indiana is 65mph around Ft. Wayne but jumps to 70mph outside of it.
Slash and burn the budget, sell the infrastructure to private interests so THEY can neglect our highways and bridges while setting up tolls to squeeze every last bit of profit out of it, shred the scanty few safety nets we have left, let the poor die early because they can't afford to pay for health care, but spend as much as we can on the military, God knows we don't want to look weak, who cares if we can't actually afford to use our military, it has to LOOK strong.
I suggest you look at the result of the state of Indiana when pursuing such Republican policies.
In 2006, Indiana leased their tollway to a private company for a lump sum of $3.85b which was reinvested in a number of highway projects. The Democrats cried foul about it and universally opposed it. That caused a dip for Mitch Daniels' approval rating but it quickly recovered as the tollway's conditional greatly improved and a net positive gain was achieved.
Indiana has their Healthy Indiana Plan in which the state subsidizes a portion of the cost of health insurance for the uninsured and the school voucher program that provides 90% of public tuition to be used for private schooling. They've also expanded access to college for adults through WGU. All plans proposed by Republicans and have met fairly good responses.

I had my definitions screwed up. CAFE is based on production quantities and not models available.
It also has no teeth, the penalty is pretty pointless.
