Seems to me that when netfiling, it quite clearly indicates that if you want to add direct deposit, or change an existing direct deposit, you need to mail in a printed return.
That idea was covered in The Authority. "Hey, wait a minute. We're super heroes; some of us are cosmic-power superheroes. Why the hell CAN'T we *make* the world a better place?"
Considering the fact that five years ago, the Xbox had surround sound in games to make things more immersive (let alone the A3d card ten years ago) you're damn straight that a space fighter would have audio cues like that. Hell, modern warplanes and choppers have all sorts of audio cues and voice prompts; doesn't take a lot of imagination to add directionality to the sounds.
No, not really. For one thing, the fleet would all be using the flagship as their reference point, just to keep things straight.
And secondly, very often we see Cylons attacking the fleet from various angles, but mainly it seems to wind up top down. Of course, this could mainly be because the Galactica orients itself into that position, as most of it's armament seems to be on the top of the ship.
NTFS Encryption is tied into your Windows NT login. In other words, if you can log into the machine, then you have rights to the files.
What the encryption is there to prevent is somebody ripping out the hard drive, hooking it up to another computer, and reading it raw, thus bypassing all of the ACLs and what not.
Here is a perfectly valid example: I copy a Microsoft "encrypted" file from a workstation to a file share which also happens to have NTFS. That file will be encrypted at the workstation, and it will be encrypted on the file server. It will NOT be encrypted over the wire.
This is what Windows's built-in IPSEC functionality is for.
I remember, let me find my curmudgeon cap, when the Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition came out, tin cover slip and all.
There were two versions; one on a dual-sideded, dual-layer DVD (DVD-18) and one with a pair of single-sided, dual-layer DVDs (DVD-9).
The Home Theater crowd all went to great lengths to find the dual-disc version, for reasons from 'some players have trouble with DVD-18s' to 'I like having cover art on the discs'.
If a disc is sufficiently sized to hold a two hour movie at a good bitrate with a few audio tracks, that's all it needs. The market has adequately proven that several small discs are better than one great big disc.
Advanced race notes that predatory species existed on it's home world (hell, it was probably one itself)
Advanced race decides that the best way not to fall prey to one of these hypothetical other predators is to make sure that Advanced race gets them first
Advanced race goes out and hunts up any other race that even looks like it might eventually become a threat
Advanced race either a) fizzles out from spending too much time/energy on this goal, b) finds another spacefaring race, and gets blown up or expends too much time/energy fighting, or c) splinters and fights with itself, and gets blown up or expends too much time/energy fighting.
The galaxy takes another round of time to evolve new intelligent races.
Repeat.
Or, put another way, if there's even a possiblity that somewhere Out There is a race that might attack, you have no choice but to militarize enough to at least defend. If you have enough of a military to defend, somebody will see you as a threat, and attack. It's rather self-fufilling.
No, you're not getting both. You're just going for the risk of seeing something late, rather than the risk of losing something legitimate. Obviously, a quarantine means that you won't see the false positive until you specifically go check, but you won't lose it, unless you don't check for it before the quarantine's auto-delete timeout. Graylisting, by definition, introduces a delay in mail transmission.
Why does it always have to be the now now now? The original Xbox supported HDTV, all the way up to 1080i. When I got my Xbox, and plugged it into a small TV with composite cable, did it matter? No, not really.
But, a few years later, when I got a 16:9 HDTV, I bought the HD AV unit for the Xbox, plugged it in, changed two settings in the Xbox dashboard, and damn, suddenly the vast majority of my Xbox games are playing in at least 480p, widescreen. It was that easy. And that universal.
Over in PS2 land, some games support widescreen, some don't. Some support progressive, some don't. If they do, you have to tell each and every game if it should be widescreen or not. Some, you have to use a GD *cheat code* to flip it over correctly.
So yeah. If you program your Xbox360 game correctly, then people who upgrade their televisions over the next five years are in for a treat.
You know, if you look hard enough, you can find the documents that Microsoft coughed up during the court case, that show their people explaining exactly why DR-DOS wasn't able to run windows (or Norton file utilities, for that matter.)
And they are perfectly accountable. The local voters are perfectly free to vote each and every one of them out. But per my reply to some other comment, there are perfectly valid reasons for a company to request confidentiality during negoitations, and perfectly valid reasons for the gov't to honor said requests.
I'll also point out that America is a republic, which means that the entire point is that the elected officials are supposed to do their jobs for the public good, but not necessarily for the public. The Founding Fathers specifically wanted to avoid 'too much democracy' and the dangers of mob rule and rapidly shifting public opinion driving policy.
Google goes to the gov't and says 'we want tax breaks.' The gov't says 'hell no, we'll lose money.'
So Google says 'Ah, but we're going to bring revolutionary widget X to market in six months, and even the most pessimistic of analysts and economists anticpate that not only will this make us enough revenue that we'll be paying more taxes, with the breaks, than we are now, without the breaks, but that an entire industry will grow up around this widget, as well as all of the support industries, and what not. We'll wind up building a new facility, which means construction, jobs, imports and exports, as well as housing for the workers and families, stores to support them, and so on and so forth, and this is what all of that will be worth to your state over the next twenty years.
And the gov't says 'Hell yes!'
But then they turn around, and announce this. And, say, Microsoft hears about widget X, and says 'Hey, we can build that shit too.' And they make a big announcement about how they'll have widget X going in five months (it winds up taking ten, but the damage is already done) and announces plans for a facility in a different state.
Ooops. NC just screwed themselves out of hundreds of millions of dollars. That's hardly serving the public trust.
For the exact same reason that you, in choosing a democratic government, need to have the option of keeping your vote a secret. Or why you, an innocent person commiting no illegal acts, needs to be able to, if you wish, encrypt all of your correspondance with nigh-unbreakable methods. Or keep your library book history secret. Or any number of things.
Harry Potter: The Next Generation. Starring Wil Wheaton as Wesley Potter. Make sure you watch for the school councillor with the huge tatas. "I sense....frustration. Deep frustration and confusion. And...an obsession with wands."
Then: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Brine, wherein Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft opens a new campus, deep under the ocean, near a magical portal to a different world. Make sure you watch for the local wife (with huge tatas) of the muggle arcade owner.
Soon to be followed by Harry Potter: Voyager, wherin a group of students, attempting to prank some townies/muggles, accidently transports themselves, and the townies/muggles, to a distant land, and they must make their way back. Make sure you watch for the evil alien who they try to convert to Hogwartsim, but it turns out that she was the daughter of a Hogwarts-funded research expedition; she has huge tatas.
Lamentably followed by Harry Potter: Dumbledore, wherein we find that Dumbledore used to be headmaster at a DIFFERNET school, that was NEVER PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED as existing, and infact CANNOT have existed given the existing canon, where they teach magic that is somehow MORE ADVANCED than what is later taught at Hogwarts. Make sure you watch out for the muggle school administrator with the huge tatas.

Try The Authority, and as somebody else pointed out, the various Ultimates lines.
That idea was covered in The Authority. "Hey, wait a minute. We're super heroes; some of us are cosmic-power superheroes. Why the hell CAN'T we *make* the world a better place?"
It was an interesting take.

I'll point out that none of Einstein's theories prevent apparently-faster-than-light travel, such as warp drive or wormholes, nor time travel.
Obviously your home theater needs a better subwoofer. Or some dedicated bass shakers (AKA 'butt shakers') built into the seating.
No, not really. For one thing, the fleet would all be using the flagship as their reference point, just to keep things straight.

Very strong horseradish from Japan.
And then, one day, Sir Niles Protection-Fault was awarded the rank of General. It took a few days to sort that one out.

They said the same thing about FF7 showing up on the PS1.

Dissenting opinion. The whole site is an interesting read.

I've altered the deal. Pray that I don't alter it further.
Isn't this what they're planning on doing with the Xbox360 version, offering song packs via Live?

As a native English speaker with German as a second language (GSL?) let me say that I'd thought you were a Brit living in Germany.
So, rather than receiving praise for creating a game that fills so many roles, and appeals to so many different types of gamers......
