SONY isn't going to sue you for installing apps. They may kick you off of their specific gaming network (like PSN or online gameplay) or void your warranty, but they won't stop you from using your data plan.
Keep in mind that this is a gaming device, not a laptop. I don't understand everyone's urges to use specific devices for other purposes. I own a refrigerator, but a towel is a much better way to cool off after a workout.
Alcohol does contain a warning - that pregnant women shouldn't drink and that alcohol use should not be combined with operation of a motor vehicle and that long term use of alcohol may cause health problems.
People are quite aware that alcohol leads to a loss of inhibitions and self-restraint; that is why they drink in the first place.
Comcast is offering $10/month for 6 months followed by $35/month for 18 months for 6Mb/down, 1Mb/up for new subscribers.
You aren't willing to spend 20 minutes on the phone (plus whatever it takers to cancel your earthlink) to get them to ship you the setup box to save almost $500 over 2 years?
I can assure you that becoming a CPA is vastly more difficult than becoming a CA. There is only 1 state in the US where if you are a CA that are even eligible to sit for the CPA exam (Colorado). That being said, less than 10% of candidates sitting for the CPA exam pass on the first try.
Before taking the exam, you have to have an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution (depending on the state, either 120 hours or 30 hours specifically in accounting or some combination of the two). In addition, you must have a total of 150 hours, including 30 hours specifically in upper level accounting (accounting 101 and such don't count, in some states specific course topics). Then, you need either 2 years experience in a public accounting firm under the direct supervision of a licensed CPA including reviews of your work or 5 years in private accounting (which simply means the company isn't publicly traded).
After obtaining the license, you have to complete continuing education and undergo peer review.
Comparatively, a CA is a general designation used in about 10 countries, mostly for the purpose of allowing one to be an auditor, although not always. In some countries, the designation does not allow one to practice publicly (New Zealand), in others it historically was an accounting title but not longer is (France, Canada). Although it is NOT necessary to have CA in order to perform an audit in South Africa, publicly traded companies in SA are not required to have audits (they can have reviews instead, which are not attest functions). Additionally, in order to perform audits in South Africa, one must be a registered auditor, not a CA. In order to be a CA in the UK, one must pass exams and complete 15 months of professional experience, but there are no educational requirements (I can attest to this through personal work experience, although anecdotal, even under an IFRS compatible office, the people in Venezuela, China [who dont speak any english and run all of their work through babelfish], Mexico, and Canada all have way more knowledge than FCA's from the UK, which requires 10 years experience as a CA).
It would be, at best, an absurd statement to claim that obtaining a CPA is eas(y)ier to obtain or less respectable than a CA.
Argentina's inflation is estimated to be 25% for 2011. This is a decrease from the prior year. It can take years to move money from one currency to another, so if a PS3 in Argentina costs equivalent to $800, that price might be a bit low.
The 800k number is not bogus, it is the number of children reported missing. It is factual and accurate, which is why the number is reported.
It is what is commonly referred to as a relevant statistic. This is similiar to how it is relevant to look at how many licensed vehicles are on the road when looking at how many traffic accidents occur in an area.
As has been stated several times, reported missing does not equal kidnapped. 800k is about 1% of 'children,' which refers to anyone under the age of 18.
No, its more like the casino locks a bike to a bike rack, sells keys out of a bucket of keys, one of which opens the lock, collects the keys after each person fails, says 'if you can open the chain, the bike is yours,' a man came up and asked if he could pay for a key and try his house key, the casino agreed, the key worked, and the casino called the police.
I have to agree with the other responses though, it is a stupid analogy.
Going through the content connect website, it appears that instead of content traveling from content providers through the internet to an ISP, then to end users, instead, now it goes from a content connect content provider, who is hosting the content provider's content, held in cache, somehow physically closer to end users, and bypasses the ISP.
Obviously this cannot be true, but that is what the combination of words and moving images would present.
Most vexing is the concept that this is supposed to make high quality video use faster, but the bullet point list includes that consumers are willing to pay more for higher quality video than speed.
I do not understand what content connect is supposed to be doing, or why. I do understand that if an ISP chooses to use content connect for specific content and not for other content, and this affects speed somehow, that this would violate net neutrality. On the other hand, if all content is shuttled through content connect, in effect, that makes the ISP superfluous.
I don't disagree, but they already sold it, so they don't have any right to take it back from the people they sold it to.
Businesses do this all the time. It is commonly referred to as a recall, used to take back a product that is either dangerous or potentially dangerous. All Amazon has to do is refund your purchase price (which they have for titles in the past).
When I did a study abroad and visited England, I met a truck driver who complained that he was underpaid. He made 80,000 pounds a year, and England is about a 3 hour drive across the entire country (4 hours in heavy traffic). This was when the pound was worth around $2 USD (before it was appropriately revalued).
Students in the UK are not chosen based on parental income; the amount they pay out of pocket is. If I was making 8 pounds an hour working as a cashier, I would attend Cambridge for 9,000 a year without a second thought.
No, news program people do not dictate (or even influence)military policy (they report it, mostly inaccurately), nor do appointed military concern the issue.
The lack of an overall policy not only allows for individual prejudices to shine through but moreover ensures that obama appointees et all aren't involved.
We shouldn't have to have laws preventing rape, theft, murder, etc, but we have them to deter those would do so if no law were in place and to standardize the punishment. This is actually a rather simple concept if you don't want one thief having their hands cut off and another having their wrist slapped.
That has to be one of weakest trolls I've seen on/., and that is saying a lot.
You used anecdotal evidence based on one captains opinion, of which admittedly (from your source) 'no formal testing was done to determine how well it worked.'
The article refers to one pink submarine (which was pink because that was the hull color and they didn't bother to paint it) only because the opponent used pink shells and shell splash blended.
Note also from your source, "The primary problem with Mountbatten pink was that it stood out around midday, when the sky was no longer pink, and the traditional battleship grey was much less visible."
Its not much of a thought. DADT was implemented because nothing was in the books, so it became an issue when individuals had (for lack of better terms) issues.
Now that all you do is remove the policy, the same problems will come back, because now there is no policy to say that you cant discriminate.
You can find similiar problems with the US constitution; historically, we have had to specifically state that women or black people also count. Sadly, there are plenty of places in the US where if those ammendments were not made, they wouldn't.
Instead of a blanket policy of not talking about sexuality in the military, policies toward homosexuals (of either sex) are now left to the discretion of military leaders.
This will either lead to segments of our military being strictly only for homosexuals or strictly not for homosexuals, without regard to what might be best for military purposes.
The tabernacle was created for religious purposes, yet it does not draw tourists...it draws meetings as a conference center based on architectural and acoustic issues. It has been used for the Utah symphony orchestra, as well as radio and television broadcasting. It is not a (religiously based) theme park. It has multiple purposes in its use which are not designed around a singular theme, and the vast majority of its uses are not religiously based.
The Sistine chapel, while known as the location of the papal conclaves, is not a theme park, even though it is the venue for the election of each pope. I see how you could get the concepts confused (no one goes to vatican city for the purpose of leisure/entertainment/relaxation).
The Parthenon, while the most important surviving building of classical Greece, a treasury, a church devoted to the virgin mary, a mosque, an ammunition dump, and the culmination of the development of the doric order (although not in that order), has never been a theme park.
And yet in practice...name one, singular, currently or historically existent religiously based theme park that has drawn tourism (in simplified terms, your local church halloween event doesn't count, because it is both seasonal at best and locally supported).
What's that? You can't name a single one?
On the basis that it would be a bad investment, never mind constitutional grounds, this should not happen. Since I am not retarded, I will not threaten to burn to the ground (unlike many religious organizations have claimed about my synagogue), but I sure as fuck would not go there, and I'm betting that no one you know would either.
Clearly, PETA wanted to use the game to entice people stupid enough to join PETA to actually join PETA.
The fact that there in fact are people stupid enough to join PETA is not resolvable by complaining that PETA is stupid in practice (killing 5 out of every 6 animals your organization takes possession of is absurd when you claim that animal ownership is by definition somehow worse has got to be dumbest thing since people who...nope, can't think of anything dumber at the moment. Yes, I have met christian evangelists, vegetarians, members of scientology, people with autism, the mentally retarded, and that crazy bitch you used to "date" when you were young and stupid.).

Reading comprehension is fun.
Almost every military of 1st world countries have submarines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_submarine_operators
...How exactly would that serve military purposes?
Pink submarines are much easier to spot, assuming they aren't in a gay pride parade or Susan G Komen walk.
Way to miss the point.
Its now up to military leaders to individually determine policy; thus why I used the phrase segments of our military, and not military as a whole.
I definately was not going for funny...
Its not much of a thought. DADT was implemented because nothing was in the books, so it became an issue when individuals had (for lack of better terms) issues.

This is a lose/lose/lose/lose move.
Actually, he turned himself in, which means that whether or not he did commit a crime, he is claiming he did. Paranoia doesn't quite fit here.

Put down the booze and try again.
And yet in practice...name one, singular, currently or historically existent religiously based theme park that has drawn tourism (in simplified terms, your local church halloween event doesn't count, because it is both seasonal at best and locally supported).
What's that? You can't name a single one?

Just search for Johnny Depp, you should be able to find it.
Or, since you want to pay for it, try amazon, netflix, blockbuster (before they go bankrupt), or google without autocomplete.
