There are studies that show when male:female populations skew where there are significantly more males than females, the level of crime committed by males begins to increase.
You forgot a zero, but it's a pretty light punishment. I mean... all they need to do is spend about $30 and get two PLEXes and sell those for about 800,000,000 ISK. That'll keep the fines going for 1,000 days so it works out to about $0.03 USD per day.
2). 8GB seems fine, they are not going for blockbuster games. sure an SD card would help
Exactly. This article is about twenty ways wrong and misunderstands the gaming environment.
This won't increase competition because the developers who want DRM or other restrictions will continue to flock to Sony/Nintento/MS. It just so happens that most of the blockbuster developers go this route. This is probably going to end up as nothing more than perhaps a slightly more powerful smartphone for the purposes of gaming. At best it will compete with PCs for indie developers.
You're missing the point. Each of these UI elements conveys useful information. You don't need to be a healer in D3 to make use of the health bars, in fact the best usage of them is to tell whether a party member is dead or alive without having to scan the bloody screen looking for their marker. The human eye only has a limited range that it can focus in on. When you use three displays the outer two are forces into peripheral vision because the focus must almost always be on the center display. If you have UI elements that are off to the peripheral that REQUIRE focus to be useful then the whole thing is fucked because now you're spending an inordinate amount of time with unnecessary eye movement. Battlefield 3, at least, does it right for a FPS by sequestering all the UI elements on the center display.
WoW is also another horrible example to use to support your position because as you look at more and more implementations of advanced UIs for WoW you see the very same exact stuff I just described (especially at hardcore raiding levels). Information and objects clustered closer to the center of the screen to minimize eye and mouse movement. WoW also supports some pretty ridiculous zoom distances natively so you're not really advantaging yourself in most places by expanding out to such a wide display. It's not even useful for a raid leader because he still has to contribute just as much as everyone else. There's no advantage to being able to have various UI elements on other displays since you cannot swap equipment, talents, or a hundred other things that you cannot do while in combat. Even the inventory is pointless since every single item can be hotbar'd/hotkey'd.
So I say again. Multimonitor display for a game is a fucking useless expenditure for some pointless eyecandy or to show off your e-peen. It's nothing more than a waste of money.
Thanks for demonstrating the exact problem with multi-monitor displays. The UI is crippled. Your focus will mostly be on the the center display. The minimap (which is useful) is not tucked far out of your focus in the upper right. Chat displays and party health indicators are tucked far off to the left.
We live in what should be a just society. As a just society, the laws should be blind. As sad as it may sound, the only way for immigration laws to be just is to enforce them uniformly and not include exceptions.
It may seem unfair to you that people who only speak English and never were in Mexico should get deported, but it's unfair to those who were deported because they have been to Mexico and speak Spanish.
People, in general, will talk about justice but when push comes to shove they want preferential treatment.
Patents are bad and should be gotten rid of. Immigrants are responsible for 75% of patents in the US. Toughening on immigration will help cut up to 75% of patent applications.
And here I was thinking that we finally had the technology to detect the undead that walk among us. Foolish me, of course this would be used to violate privacy.
I think I might have to go back and watch them in this order. Sure, the guy can write about it, and it seems awesome but to know you must experience it.
I know this suggestion will get my some flak, but Chronicles of Narnia.
WoT is a bad choice, not necessarily because of the heaviness, but primarily because of the length. It's too long, in my opinion, to keep most children engaged in. You can probably read it to a child and ignore a lot of the heaviness that comes from description (good lord the clothing does not need to be recited to the child). I wouldn't go past Eye of the World in the series with a child. It's probably the only one you can safely stop on and have a satisfactory ending.

This is one of those 'a duh' articles.

It sounds like you're describing a movement made by a woman....
We have them in America. They live on the shore of New Jersey. There is, sadly, a show about them.

unless they're a priest f*king children
Priests faking children?

How fucking useless for a bit of eye candy.
To the center of the sun!
We will find the jolly green giant is behind all magnetic fields.
Bah forget that reason. Invade Canada to allow Quebec to secede from it.
Where is the $$ for change?
In the pockets of those purchasing the electricity.

A computer cannot act autonomously either. Not a single thing you listed is a computer acting on its own initiative.
Luckily it it isn't Aperture.

Harry Potter is a pretty easy read.

That case name tickles my funny bone....
All I can imagine is the movie Prometheus and a bunch of mayo over all the sets. Gives a whole new context....
So, because I sell one product that is covered by a patent, and 299 that aren't, I should be limited to only ever making 10% profit? That's asinine.
Where's the magma? There can be no fun without magma.
They've saved you from half that fate..... well more like a quarter or a third depending on how you look at it.
So what's the purpose of the FS after launch?
