Buy from the venue directly. If they don't offer that option, email the venue and tell them you would go see this band, but you won't buy from price-gouging online ticket touts, which is really all they are. Further, get on social media and let the band know. Get on the fan forums. Make sure that everyone involved knows that Ticketmaster. Aloud, and all of the other online ticket services are poison and are directly losing the venue, and the band, money.
Ladies and gentleman, I present a quintessential example of the disconnect between "us" and "them".
My grandfather designed fuel line systems for Rolls Royce in his youth; His engineering knowledge is staggering. However, I know for a fact that he hasn't got the faintest idea what a Molex connector is, and why his three year old HP PC likely doesn't need any.
I have my Keepass database hosted on Dropbox, synching with my computer and Android phone. However, the database contains only 4 characters which satisfy the idiosyncrasies of whatver the site requires, e.g. A$s4 for CAPITAL, $pecial, lower, numb3r. In the notes is a number corresponding the position to insert these characters into my easy to remember and secure password, as you have. If the maximum size is shorter than my password, I clip it to the maximum it can be.
The database is useless without my secure password (which isn't the password to the database), site access is secure as the full password is not stored in the database, and I never need to worry about forgetting a password regardless of the stupid decisions of others. Further, any site storing the key in plaintext only gets the password for that site; They'd need the Keepass database unlocked to use the key anywhere else.
If anything, fewer people are becoming casual gamers, since so many people are growing up with video games. It's no longer just for nerds.
Hmmm... I think we have different definitions of "casual gamer". I myself grew up with computer games; ZX80, NES, Game Gear, access to MegaDrive, PlayStation, PS2 as well, and through most of that PC gaming too. I still, however, would call myself a casual gamer, as I am too busy to be a serious gamer. I don't have the time to complete Skyrim for the third time (hell, even once). But that's not a casual game, that's sirius bizniss. Wii Sports, Angry Birds, $CasualGameX are all great for when I have 20 minutes between getting home from work and cooking dinner, or while I wait for the g/f's shitty soap to finish so I can put Monster Truck Madness XIV or whatever on the TV, or while my code compiles, or while my Blender rendering finishes, or while....
Woohoo, another opportunity to lambast Offline Mode in Steam!
Go home and log in to Steam, then simulate a drop in internet connection by unplugging the cable / disconnecting from wireless. "Huh. Networking is down. I'll reboot to see if that helps." is the next step. Boot back up and log in, then load up Steam again. "No internet connection; Load up in Offline Mode?" it will ask. Press that option and... "Cannot load in Offline Mode at this time." What is this?! Why can I not access my games in Offline Mode? The internet is down, and I want to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution! It doesn't even have a multiplayer component! FFFFFUUUUUUU!
Offline Mode is for when you expect to be offline for a while, for instance if you're moving house or you're going on a trip. You need to tell Steam that you'll be going offline by loggin in to Offline Mode before you go offline. Now, this isn't such a big deal if you have a smartphone and can tether to be able to cache your credentials properly, but we're simulating connection loss at the client here. Now picture if the problem is with Steam's ISP, or with Steam itself. Imagine if Steam goes bankrupt and the administrators don't let Gabe pump out his "We pinky-swear to unlock game libraries" patch. Good times, huh?
These few loud attention seekers do not represent Islam any more than Westboro' Baptist represents Christianity. They may respectively have their flaws, but don't believe that the most radical examples are representative of the whole.
There is apparently a big problem with illegal immigrants waiting at the side of the road and running into traffic in order to make big insurance claims. I've only seen one video on YouTube of it happening, but it was enough for me to look up the price of one of those dashcams on Amazon, and I don't even live in Russia. Fucking horrifying.
I can't talk about your non-volatile storage issues, but cooling a system down slows state change, meaning it's more likely to stay in its current state for longer. This means you have more time to recover whatever it is you're looking for before the volatile nature of the system means the data is lost for good.
They're different things. A mosh pit is where folk charge from the edge to the centre, and is pretty disorganised. Typically you'll find this with Death Metal, Speed Metal, and other very fast beat genres where there is no discernable difference between, say, verse and chorus. Circle Pits are the phenomenom being investigated here, where they start moving in a fairly ordered vortex around the centre, before moving into the centre when the band "drops the bass", then moves back to the circle when there's a "lull" (comparitively).
No there isn't. Ultimately, it's upper management disagreeing with facts and selling their own version of reality to the public. The only difference is when we pay for it; Prior to the fact via taxes, or after the fact with purchases.

Govt: Dr Nutt, go do research into how dangerous drugs are and report back. We need more strings to the War on Drugs bow. Dr Nutt: Drugs aren't as bad as you people make out. These stats clearly show some interesting things, E.g. You are more likely to die riding a horse than from an E overdose, and there have been no deaths directly attributed to overdose on cannabis in the entire documented history of mankind. Govt: Oh! Oh, wow... This is embarassing. You're fired.

I have a friend who was unemployed, and went to the Job Centre to get assistance fnding work. Not only did they ignore what she said her skills were, they sent her for jobs which were totally outside her field of experience and for which she was utterly unqualified. She was instructed to apply for a job at a university which required a Masters degre in a Maths discipline. She has a BA in History.
The LibreOffice interface is the same as the Office 97/2000/XP/2003 interface. Icons might be slightly different, text labels may not be identical ("Insert Picture" instead of "Insert Image" etc), but still more than identifiable to all but the most technologically inept ( HR, typically ).
Problems arise when you're a power user of these products; The 0.1% who actually use those deep-down-and-buried features which the rest of us don't even know exists. LibreOffice is great for the 99.9% of us who write essays for college, or letters to mom, but it lacks where those in industry need it to shine most.
Came here to post this. You're already at +5, so I'll say that I agree instead.
Do Not Track was the only current way in which advertisers would have me stop black-holing their networks at the border. As it is, I guess I'll just keep it as it is. More fool you, advertising networks. I'll just be sure to let the sites which ignore Do Not Track know that I'm blocking advertisements on their site.
I still have a 500 Mhz Pentium III running 24x7 as a network monitor! 10 years of continuous, 24x7 service and it is still chugging along, currently running a 32 bit CentOS 6 distro. It burns less than 20 watts!
A Raspberry Pi could do that job for 1/10 the power consumption and 1/100th the physical space. Your way works, but it isn't the most efficient.
It would be like worrying about what kind of oil is used to fry your french fries.
Awesome analogy. If they were fried in vegetable fat they'd taste pretty good, in animal fat they'd be pretty horrid, motor oil and they'd be ineddible, and fried in peanut oil would result in death by aspyxiation due to an anaphylactic reaction.
I bought a case of alcohol free beer to try, partly for dietary reasons, partly monetary (it's around 50% of the price on average). It's not like Diet Coke is to Coca Cola. It's like store brand diet cola is to Coca Cola. There is nothing resembling the original product in it; It's just bland. Awfully bland, and far too sweet.
Drink Guinness instead. It's got a lower calorie content than most "lite" beers.

Because Origin and always-online DRM for single player PC games wasn't enough for you?
You are paying to see ads. Its supposed to be the other way around.

The explosion in the video was Putin discarding the ruined carcass of a Kodiak bear he was sky surfing on. Wrestled during the ascent, naturally.
