When my grandfather was dying of a necrotized intestine, for which there is no cure or treatment, it took him a week to die. A week during which 'pain management' did nothing.
I asked the doctor if there was any way we could hasten the inevitable. He was shocked and outraged at my lack of humanity.
It was then that I realized that if I treated a dog the way they were treating my grandpa, keeping a dog alive when you knew for a damn fact he was going to die within a week, but that week would be full of horrid pain, you'd be up on charges of animal cruelty.
Modern society extends, even requires, courtesies to dogs that they deny to human beings.
Well, how about the part where she ran for VPOTUS and is rumbling about running for POTUS? Surely, examining her track record as a public leader and government official is not only germaine, but prudent?
Well, not being interested is something completely different. I'll say that they serious screwed up the beginning of the game; same problem I had with Fallout: New Vegas. There's so many random side quests and what not that the story doesn't seem to go anywhere at all. I was more or less forcing myself to play until I finished griding all those little side quests and got to the finale of Act 1. The game really picked up from there.
You've never played Dragon Age 2, have you? It has, at the beginning, a very clear goal; escape the Blight, make it to Kirkwall, and find a way to establish you and your family as something other than utterly destitute refugees selling handjobs in the alleys.
Once you've completed that goal,other goals grow rather organically out of it. Sure, that's differnet than DA:O, where you're given an overreaching goal fairly quickly, and a task list of things to achieve said goal. But it's no less valid.
That said, I do agree with the 'way too many completely unrelated sidequests.'
Actually, the prior art would be Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor, which describes a device exactly like this; incredibly bright flash of light, overloads the optic nerves.
Even here at work, patching happens (officially!) on a need-to basis: we analyze every patch to see if we're actually vulnerable to or impacted by what it fixes, and only install those that are necessary. Saves us a lot of maintenance time and unexpected side effects.
Exactly! And this is EXACTLY what I hate about Windows! Why, you just never know if you're going to run a patch, and the damn thing won't reboot, or a service won't start all of the sudden....
Wait,we're talking about Linux, right?:-) Some things, no problem. But anything complicated? Like, say, a virtual domain email server with spam and virus filtering, and quarantine, with webmail and a user control panel? Sweet baby jesus, it's like building a house of cards.
As with all Linux products, once I've found a stable chain of individual tools that does what needs to be done, I will live in fear of upgrading any of them, lest the entire chain fail catastrophically.
I do believe you missing the point. For what technical reason can the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3 allow a wifi connection inbound simultanious to a cellular data connection outbound, where an iPhone 3gs (or even an iPhone 3g) cannot?
The answer, of course, is that there is zero technical reason why this cannot be done. Therefore, the only possible reason for it is that Apple deliberately chose to not allow this functionality in pre-iPhone 4 models. Why would they do that? Why, to encourage users to buy the iPhone 4.
For you, the day when bad driving physics on cookie-cutter worlds caused you be be randomly killed by worms jumping out of the ground was the most important day of your life. For me? It was a Tuesday.
Hey, it's a handheld, and it's capable of emulating a PS1. I'd say that's plenty powerful. That said, going from Valkyria Chronicles 1 to Valkyria Chronicles 2 is painful. VC2 is bloody ugly compared to VC1. Now, back to Xenogears on PSP.
From what it looks like to me, the PSP was restricted and underpowered, and was just unattractive to developers compared with the PS3 and the 360.
Underpowered? Why, I heard some guy say he used his to...
Now if you'll excuse me, back to Xenogears on my PSP.
which is now an ebook reader, a portable movie player, an email client (*can* be used to send, but the IME is terrible. I only use it to check.) a portable PS1 emulator for any PS1 title I care to wrap, and a delightful casual play platform for classic 90s consoles.
The data files are not essential. You are more than welcome to make your own, using the Arx Fatalis engine, to create your own story, art, music, and what not.
broadly for or against IM, although in both cases you're stuck doing his missions when he tells you
Interesting. I always viewed the two paths as 'using Cerberus' and 'working for Cerberus,' being paragon and renegade respectively. In my Paragon playthroughs, Cerberus was a handy source of personnel, materiel, and transport, and I was surprised that the IM never seemed to mind that I generally did the exact opposite of what he wanted.
Wasn't the right to bear arms specifically added so US citizens could rid themselves of a tyrannical government?
Well, obviously you're trolling, but a few points. One, the 2nd Amendment was intended as a guard against reprisals from England and other such foreign threats. Jefferson's quips aside, America has never tolerated the idea of armed rebellion. Washington himself put down the Whiskey Rebellion, and the South did all the right things in trying to seceed; wrote up a constitution, all that stuff.
Besides, now that Republicans control Congress, how is gunning down a Democrate congresswoman 'ridding themselves of a tyrannical government?'

It's been done. Die By The Sword.

No, it doesn't. It's the PS1 ISOs packaged up in a handy file with a PS1 emulator that runs on the PSP and the PS3.

Yes, well, that's one of the situations where the Wii or the Move actually has the advantage over the Kinect.

New features? Bug and security fixes?

Sony already tried this. Called it the 'PSP Go.' Might have worked better if they'd had a way to transfer over already-bought PSP games.

Step one for finding interesting life: look in places where you know damn well life cannot exist.
To clarifiy this a bit, 'salaried' just means 'doesn't bother turning in a timesheet; normal working hours are assumed.' In most places, at least.

Hence why they stopped being made/developed. Microsoft follows the market.
Big deal. Remember the NT 3.5 family, running on PowerPC, Alpha, x86, MIPS, and supposedly in the lab, SPARC?
