Eve has "permadeath" of a sort. When you lose you ship, you lose your ship. Fittings, cargo content, ammunition, modifications... Gone. It's like all of your armour and weapons being lost in WoW, especially when you amass Faction modified variants. Insurance covers the ship to a point, but not totally.
You can buy clones for your actual character, but that again doesn't cover stat-boosting Implants. You lose those if your pod is destroyed (character is killed). If you don't have a clone, you lose all of your Skill Points too. For some characters, that can be many years worth of time investment.
Fighting in that game was more stressful in the way your body isn't catered to dealing with: Prolonged periods of suspense and fear, with no way to vent it.
They look totally different to the popup-style messages on compromised websites saying "Your Anti Virus is out of date! Download our version!" or "You have been infected by Win32.BullRubbish.exe.foobar! Upgrade to New Anticrap UberVirusWare 2011!"
You're training them to download stuff from the web, from sites they don't regularly visit / don't trust, because a popup told them to.
No, what Cameron is doing is taking a tried and proved plot based upon human history ("Bad guys taking stuff from good guys by force, good guys are underdogs, good guys win the day, feel happy about it") and making a boat load of cash.
Applying philosophical thinking to a movie with so little depth as Avatar is like trying to read insight into a Daily Mail story. "Please, smack me in the face with the opinion I should hold! I can't form thoughts of my own, and require 3D graphics to hold my attention so I can learn about basic morality!"
Ha, I've been modded Troll after commenting on the pertinence of my own post!
Sweet Jeebus,/. sort out some better criteria for who you give mod points too. The current method seems to hand them to idiots with the reading comprehension of a limp lettuce leaf.
The world worked fine before China got industrialised and made all of our stuff using cheap labour and materials by exploiting the oppressed workforce.
Let's go back to home-grown industry and leave China to destroy themselves. Our respective economies could do with the business.
You'll want to upscale the downstream synergies of a Cloud Services 2.0 deployment to be an enabler of Top-Tier Blue-Sky processes to your Crowd-sourced resources. Otherwise you'll not be utilising the future-thinking operational motivators of time-shift market deployments, and that can seriously anti-creationalise your interstabularistic practicalularisation performocarbunkle cheesewozzles.
They don't need to search my laptop at all. No picture, document, executable, or video on my laptop is a risk to the aircraft or any person on that aircraft.
The legality of the contents of the laptop can be contested if I am arrested within the US and the laptop seized as evidence. Until that point, that laptop is a sealed envelope; X-ray and perform a cursory physical examination all you like to ensure that it is a laptop computer, but like the documents inside the envelope, the content of the disk is not subject to being examined or duplicated.
Those people more than likely had deep-seated psychological problems to do with self esteem and social interaction deficiencies far before they played WoW, or any other MMO. Instead of seeking help resolving the issues, they immersed themselves in a false world of small and fast accomplishment with a greatly inflated sense of achievement.
Anyway, it's not like they're linking it to a real life identity. You couldn't pick out my WoW character from my Slashdot ID, or my real name. Nor could you reverse it to find those details from my WoW characters.

Is the price / performance difference worth the investment in the pricier card, or does opting for the cheaper option allow me to buy a case which will fit the card for a net saving?
If GF100 price > 5870 + New case, you have an easy decision to make.
I read a little more about it, and it seems that CPS can take over the prosecution whenever they want. I guess that means that this isn't a way we can get some of the bankers / politicians on trial for fraud, as CPS will drop the case as "not in the public interest."
Rubbish. My HTC Diamond 2 came with a USB charger which you plug in the appropriate A type male - Mini-B type male cable into. Plug in a standard iPod cable and it works fine.
If it didn't, it wouldn't charge from your computer either.

Sounds like they need to employ someone who can hunt down the evil bugs and smite them righteously, eh?
I don't know, maybe some kind of binary_paladin...
Sounds like you Apple folk need real-time virus protection after all.
Sucks, doesn't it?
You're proposing that they discriminate against someone because of a disability?
You'll be wanting to take away their driving licenses, next!

Don't go comparing AU / UK to US TV viewing habits with comparing Apples and Oranges!
That's like comparing apples and oranges!
You ride a bicycle? That requires sitting on the saddle!
My god, man! Your doctors are clearly wrong, as this stufy proves you're dangerously close to death!

Puh-lease.
Indeed. This idea works only if everyone is idealistic as me.

I am anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Oh, crap, this is investigation at the US border after the flight, so it's nothing to do with bombing planes.
Sorry, I went off on a tangent. This is about finding out if you're a communist. Business as usual, then.
They can scoop some out of the bowl when I'm done having my Morning Glory, if they're that bothered about how much I had to drink last night.
They can also just ask me. The answer is "If you haven't brought me some black coffee and dry toast in 5 minutes, I'm barfing on your shoes."

Yes, and people sticking their hands out the window trying to smack you on a high speed drive by, and attempting to side swipe you.
This is the real reason the Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment in. Insightful, really.
No, the question is:
Is the price / performance difference worth the investment in the pricier card, or does opting for the cheaper option allow me to buy a case which will fit the card for a net saving?
If GF100 price > 5870 + New case, you have an easy decision to make.
I didn't know that!

Terrorism and revolution are two sides of the same coin, as others have already stated.
Actually, that was me, five posts up :)

Somewhere that doesn't start comparing features of Chrome OS (thin client, gateway only) to features of Windows (fat client) operating system.
Why would 3D graphics be included? Chrome OS isn't for gaming or CAD. I's a browser with a bootloader.
