Because the first thing any opponent does in this situation is have tacklers web and warp scramble you. And they'll start bumping you to push you away from directions they don't want you go. And you materialize from an incoming jump a few kilometers away from the gate/cyno field. You ain't goin' nowhere.
Clarification for those who haven't played: - Tackler: A very fast and highly maneuverable ship fitted no offensive weaponry, just modules designed to prevent your escape. Very fragile; Relies on its speed to survive. - Web: Propulsion suppression; Severely restricts your speed an maneuverability. - Warp Scramble: Prevents you warping. In Eve you can warp to planets, stations, asteroid belts etc in the same system from anywhere at any time. Almost all ships need to be at a Jump Gate to leave a system; Capital ships are the exception, of which Titans are an example. - Bumping: Eve ships have non-catastrophic collision detection. They "bump" off each other, with the imaginable results. You need to align your ship towards a destination to be able to warp there; Bumping prevents that. - Cyno(saural) field: A point created in space onto which Capital ships can lock and jump to without traversing the systems between your current location and the Cyno. Jump distance has a maximum range, depending on the ship.
One tactic not mentioned is "bubble": A ship called an Interdictor may be fitted with an Interdiction Sphere Launcher. Interdiction Spheres ("bubbles") prevent warping while within their area of effect.
I've figured out why they're like this; You're meant to hold an iPad in your other hand, so you type one handed. Pretend for a moment that you don't have the finger dexterity of a professional piano player and type, hunt-and-peck style, on your keyboard. No using two fingers now; This is typing on the move. Capitalisation a little hard? How about punctuation that requires pressing shift?
Yeah, it's a joke and I get it, but still... Best of a bad situation. If there needs to be that much typing on an iPad, maybe the iPad wasn't the best solution?
You won't get Crysis running on your phone, but the rest is doable. You can remote control your phone from your home PC, and you can get Bluetooth connected smart watches for exactly what you want to do WRT text messages and callers. Bluetooth headphones will let you take the call, and often have buttons which you can operate with gloves on.
As for gaming, it's a little different. You can either have a gaming PC, or you can have a regular PC and an external graphics adapter like ViDock I don't know if it's still available, or if they'll update it for USB3 / Thunderbolt, but if they do it might be a suitable solution for a mobile gamer.
You're a brave man. I'm looking at the Poweredge 2600 next to me, and I'm pretty sure that if I were to thrust any appendage of mine at it, the server would definitely be the one to later say down the pub "You should see what happened to the other guy!"
Excluding T-Mobile, all major US carriers include in their monthly pricing the cost to subsidize your phone. So, while TMO has a cheaper monthly plan if you don't get a contract phone...no one else does. In addition, it isn't always the case that you're free to purchase an unlocked version from the carrier.
So switch to T-Mobile. Everyone switch to T-Mobile, and I guarantee the other carriers will shit bricks and change their policies within days. Too bad we're all too sicked in to buying the latest HTSamsiPhoLGoogAndroid phone to tell "the man" to go fuck his contract terms, and his bought laws.
Our money buys these laws. Stop giving them your money.
You are free to purchase the handset, sans carrier lock in, for a lump sum. You are bound by the terms of the accompanying contract when you buy a subsidised handset, one of which being that the handset be locked to your carrier.
Free market economics, bub; If you don't like, you don't have to buy it. Go get yourself a 0% interest credit card and buy the handset outright. It will be cheaper than paying contract fees, and you get updates when the manufacturer releases them, not the carrier.
I upgraded my Q6600 because I couldn't buy a motherboard for it when my old one died and I was in a financial position to overhaul completely. The whole thing lasted me around 6 years, including 2 graphics cards upgrades, and was still a capable machine when it died. The difference between my old PC and new is staggering, but that doesn't mean the old one wasn't enough. Hopefully I'll get the same use out of this new one. FWIW, you're not missing out much with graphics a little lower than top. Not much at all.
I understand that this is yesterday's post, but I'll point something out that's obvious anyway. It seems to have been overlooked.
From the Vitamn D Wikipedia page... " [T]he body can also synthesize it (from cholesterol) when sun exposure is adequate." In the winter, there is less sun.
In my day, a "hack" was the action used to swing an axe at a tree trunk in order to fell it so it could be chipped, mulched, bleached, pressed, and rolled for transportation to a factory where is was cut and further shipped to a company where it was used to make punch cards.
Letting you joke about it is how they convince the populace that they're still free. Say what you want about us; We're thick skinned. We bought our thick skins with your freedoms and your taxes. Thanks!
Obviously this isn't meant to play unlicensed copies of games for other consoles. I'm simply stating, as the stub does, that the specifications of the hardware are in line with those of two generations of console for which emulators are available, and those emulators will run at full speed (WRT to the console) on this hardware. There's nothing wrong with that!

Perhaps you should voice your frustrations to the Administration. Maybe you could submit a petition?
POST on my PC takes twice as long as booting the OS proper. I thought it was a hardware fault to start with.
The irony of you considering an Apple device because you dislike lock-in is not lost on me.

FWIW, I want the same thing you do.
They then called the cops because he set up CCTV cameras everywhere and gave the world access to the streams / captures.
FTFY.

There's always something any self-respecting geek needs from Newegg!
Cheap international shipping and an exemption from customs duties.

Nor have I. I have lost The Game.
Damn you.

This is not the same Secret Nuclear Bunker which is signposted nearby Brentwood. That is a totally separate formerly secret nuclear site.

A Vitamin D supplement makes sense in winter.
In all seriousness, there seems to be correlation between intelligence and tendency for depression.
The stupid don't realise how fucked up things are.
Take these SmaxoGlythKlein brand pills so you are more normal. You want to be normal, right?
