It's very likely that you'll be having similar testing done on the same day. maybe even submitting samples for drug testing. Good luck explaining why you have so much caffeine in your system on a day you knew it was important to be free of any chemicals.
Much better to picture an embarrassing situation, tense a muscle group (toes and buttocks were popular, but now you can be asked to remove your shoes and can be sat on a pressure-sensitive mat to prevent these tricks).
Nerds exhibit sunlight-evading behaviour. You'd think that winter would be the time to do maintenance, as the opportunity to avoid sunlight while outside is much more long lived.
Good luck getting either of these changed. Public view is already skewed, and it's only a matter of time before common use dictates a change in definition in the dictionary.
i bet those islamic radicals in the middle east and east africa never played a video game in their lives and they are among the most barbaric and violent peoples this century.
Don't forget that 900 years ago we did the same thing with the Crusades, the Ottoman's did it, the Byzantine's before them, Holy Roman Empire before any of them... Holy crap, you'd think that humanity had been killing each other in the name of religious ideals for millenia!
It just so happens that we're apparently civilised now, and no longer foist our religion upon others. Give the Middle East a few more hundred years and they'll expand, stagnate, and be destroyed like the rest were. Then they can start with a civil civilisation. God knows where the Western world will be then, though.
And they learn nothing about using a computer when pandered to in this way.
Your laziness in helping your users to utilise IT resources effectively and safely creates the problems actual IT people with workloads beyond reghosting terminals have to fix every single day. Your lack of input when they experience an issue instils their resentment of the IT workforce early on, before they move into Management jobs where they continue to abuse the IT technical people the same way they were abused and ignored when they were still learning. But hey, at least it saves 5 minutes explaining why your setup is different, or an hour scripting an "Effective IT" presentation for their induction.
Hitman was good, but it spent too much time talking about catching Agent 47 and not enough of what Hitman was about: Nerve-wracking suspense and adrenaline-fuelled trepidation. I'm not sure that can be captured in a movie, though... If the main character is discovered in a movie he has to kill everyone around, or he looks like a wimp. If it happens more than once, he's rubbish.
The first person scene in Doom looked totally fake and I hated every minute of it. Turning around and having the Imp standing there? It looked like a guy in a costume, even though I know it was CGI.
I'd have liked the original story for Doom in the movie, and a better actor for Agent 47 in Hitman, but apart from that they were reasonable films. I wonder why thaIT WAS BECAUSE UWE BOLL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM DON'T LET HIM TOUCH YOUR GAMES HE WILL KILL THEM.
True, but if you walk into a china shop when it's closed because the owner left the door unlocked, take a look around, leave a note saying "I looked around your store. It was kind of nice. HAIL CTHULHU!" and walk out, would you expect the jury to agree that you should receive 50 years in federal prison?
You're defending the idea that he may get 50 years in Federal prison for, to use your analogy (with a slight modification), walking into your house when the door was unlocked and having a look around? The nutcase who shot and killed a doctor got 50 years!
I can't understand why you think this is in any way proportional.
Well, that just proves my(their) point. In that case, only a few thousand, maybe tens of thousands need to have these memory cards in order for the values to be reasonable*.
* Reasonable in a world where possession of a game without paying is a lost sale and not just opportunism, i.e. I won't buy it, but I'll have it if it's free.

There is no way, not in a month of Sundays, that I will ever click on a link containing the words "goatse" "tubgirl" or "lemonparty"
They might as well have called themselves "We Publish Snuff Videos Security Group."

Bemusing really, isn't it. To objectify the taking of life is commonplace in cinema and literature, but its creation is taboo.
Someone bring back common sense.
But there might be one set in Rapture.
Done well, that would be epic...
What? I thought it would have been with a LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!
Either that, or a Nerf projectile.

Thanks a bunch.
It's from before Windows 7 was released, but remember the furour caused because of this vulnerability?
You know what that is? It's Gamer, with less shooting.
Gamer was rubbish.

And still is. Matter was released in 2008, with Surface Detail coming later this year.

He didn't allegedly commit any crime. He admitted that he'd done it almost immediately, with a view to doing so in a British court.

This extradition treaty was brought in two years after Gary accessed US government computers. They want it applied retroactively.
Stick that in your Constitutional pipe and smoke it.

Don't do that! If you give the child his sweetie when he behaves poorly, he'll never learn. Citing kdawson's "news" for him is just the same.

You kinky bugger
I'd post something similar here, but I'm at work and like my job.
Suffice to say I'm muttering under my breath the solo song by Kim Jong Il in Team America. These kids must have felt the same way.
