The pacing in 10 was all off. He takes so much time talking about a few minor events, which he normally does, but then at the end it's like he realized he only had 2 more books to finish the series off. He covers more ground and wraps up more ends in the last 100 pages than he does in the entirety of one of the slower books in the series.
No, it's an example of software placing restrictions on freedom. Yes, it's a problem. No, it's not unusual these days. Yes, we should keep fighting against this.
It will store them and share them locally, just not over the Internet with their remote access software. I still don't condone this, but it makes much more sense (and probably gets them out of a lawsuit -- remember, "making available" is a crime now) than what everyone (including myself) initially thought.
Yeah. I got 2 minutes into the "randomness" clip (the 3rd one?) before I gave up. There are so many things wrong with this that watching it made my skin crawl. All I have to say is that one team "won" a challenge by saying that Resident Evil is more random than Tetris -- based on the fact that it's controls are sluggish? Excuse me, WTF? Tetris *is* a bunch of random blocks and RE is on rails!!
The arguments made by either side are completely laughable at how bad they are, and they judgement system is worse. An applause meter? Come on. In a debate style game there should be qualified judges and some majority or ranking system.
I guess it could have some potential if they fixed the scoring and found teams that have any clue. On the other hand, it's hard to call a series of debates with semi randomized qustions a "game show".
So if I say there is no piece of poop that has vocal chords and can sing me an Aria, am I also wrong? I am right until you show me said opera-singing turd.
Refusal to pay a monthly fee is pretty retarded. I mean if you don't like the game, that's one thing. But if you refuse to play because of stubbornness; then it's not too far from ignorance, if you ask me.
I'm not entirely sure you understand democracy. Every person over 18 in this country is "a party to getting the assholes in office" -- regardless of who you voted for, and whether or not you even voted at all.
Really? Not common sense? When a highly anticipated hardware sequel to a hit console comes out with support for a rather new type of media, you don't expect it will have an effect on the sales of said media? You think that to be "non obvious"? Let me guess -- MBA?
I was mostly commenting on all the "tough laws" to "keep the population safe" without really considering all of the factors, such as overnight parking, etc. It seems to me that if you want to crack down on people driving drunk, you're going to need to make sure they have other options readily available, instead of just making the penalties harsher.
It's kind of like when someone complains but can't offer a reasonable alternative to whatever it is they're complaining about.
Have you ever been to a place that sells alcohol? There's almost never overnight parking, so the real cost is a (potentially hefty) cab ride home + a parking ticket. It's just another part of this country's attitude of "make hard rules" but don't really provide the means for anyone to follow them easily. If you ask me, there should be mandatory overnight parking near any place that sells alcohol so that a cab ride home is actually a decent option that won't cost you at least 50 bucks.
That said, a little planning also can go a long way:p
OK. So I wasted 10 minutes of my life googling for ancient fucking news stories.
By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer TOKYO (AP) - With dazzling, near-film-quality graphics, Sony's new video-game machine PlayStation2 is having a huge impact in a related industry: Japan's fledgling DVD market. Since March, more than 3 million PlayStation2's have been sold in Japan. In the first eight months of this year, DVD sales nearly quadrupled to 16 million, compared to the same period the previous year, according to the Japan Video Software Association, an industry group. "We anticipated this giant boost from PlayStation2 and began expanding our DVD section ahead of time,'' Ayako Kobori, spokeswoman for Culture Convenience Club Co, said Tuesday. ``Some people are using PlayStation2 more to play DVDs than to play games."...

That's because they misspelled it OOG. Or is that some other filetype I've just never heard of?
Best. Joke Defense. Ever.
In other words... pwnt.
Most of what you said is correct, however it doesn't do PDF. You'd have to convert them into something else.

Uh no. Seagate's branding is spot on. You're the one with the mis-conception. You must value the dollar at $1.07.
Just like all similar conversations, this one has ended with ignorance and the slamming of a mind.

Paging Dr. Freud.
Wait, we get to vote on the nobel peace prize? Sweet. It doesn't even matter that the two situations are really not at all the same, either.
While it's logical and not surprising, I find it quite shocking to see them be so cavalier, and even hypocritical, about it.
Yes, that, is, very, weird. ,

Mr. Pink?
It has been known that the intent of the designers was to have several Mass Effect titles. That's not new.
pwned
Don't tase her, bro!
You mean like the THEORY of gravity and the THEORY of evolution?

I meant it should be mandatory to have parking which allows for a vehicle to be left there overnight.

It's also common fucking sense.
