When I worked shift, We'd do sit ups and push ups on the hour every hour. sometimes just for a few minutes each, and sometimes until failure. Sure if your in the middle of a crisis you can't do it, but its good for when you aren't. You can always bring a yoga mat if your floor is to dirty.
Wasn't really in fine print, found it pretty easy.
http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/rule/index.html Check the Member agreement article 5a and 5c discusses fees in addition to subscription fee if you miss a payment. I'm not a lawyer, but its in the contract and if you give them access to your account/ credit card then you've agreed to their terms. If you can't be bothered to read the terms of use and user agreement then I have no sympathy, it was very easy to find once I decided to look for it. If you don't like it play any other of the 100's of MMO's that bill normally.
I remember playing this game when it first came out, I was pretty disappointed by the game overall. Turning the account off was a pain, if you didn't do it right you'd still get billed. The billing scheme was kind of jacked but If anyone bothered to read the EULA all these terms are likely spelled out.(I didn't read it) I would be very surprised if a company as large as Square-Enix would leave such a large legal loophole. I do not agree with their billing scheme, but I have doubts that it is illegal.
Heavy Metal, Paintball and hunting yes as for the others I'm sure there are but I don't know any. Check out a Metal Concert sometime, last one I was at was a good majority female. Check out a paintball field sometime usually a decent amount of women there too. There are plenty of women out there, its all about how you present yourself to them.
I can't agree more here. Look for something that you find interesting and use that as a way to socialize. Surely you have hobbies or passions that don't involve your computer. If you don't find something and use it to socialize yourself.
Perhaps all those artists can find a way to publish their music without the recording industry. Didn't Amazon just team up with a company that was meant to allow Indie bands sell their music through Amazon? (for a cut of the pie of course) It's pretty damn obvious IMHO that the RIAA is not out to protect the artist so much as extort their fans.
As you can get all these songs for 99Â on itunes $1.9m seems a little much. The other problem I have is that the prosecution only proved that they were able to download from the defendant. I don't agree that people should be able to take what they want, but I hate the RIAA because they've made a business model out of mocking our legal system and profiting from it.
Its not expensive, didn't you read about all those ships that just dropped anchor in the wrong place... its only expensive to fix, not break. In the case of "cyberwar" I assume we don't care about fixing it.
Unless you are talking about fixing memory leak errors in Windows then I don't really see how you can fix the need to reboot that OS on occasion. Sure you could put Linux on it, but then your user would be confused and annoy you even more.
If your XP box has been on for 4 months without rebooting (and somehow not crashing) I imagine a reboot would solve some of these problems. I of course am exaggerating here in the length of time running, but you get what I'm at. I agree with you that looking for further reasons is necessary, but you also need to look at your environmental variables. Like if it freezes up everyday at the same time but only in the summer, and the PC is located out in a shop without AC. Most likely heat related failure. Of course if all your PC are in nice offices you most likely do not have this problem. Look at your environment when you look at a problem, especially when nothing else seems to be out of place.
Hate to say it, but welcome to the dark side. As IT you are the enemy. Users don't understand nor care about security, or policies against surfing porn or downloading music or spending all day on/. instead of working. Get used to the phrase "What did you do?", because you are the root cause of everything evil and wrong on their PC (especially in a small organization). It's your fault the printer jams, and your fault that the legacy software doesn't work, and even your fault that Vista is slow. Most of all its your fault they keep getting emails about penis enlargement; really it is because you signed them up for it. The thing is if you get overly friendly with the users it can put you in awkward situations. Most of us have policies that state "anything on your computer is subject to monitoring and we can look at your stuff whenever we want", which is all fine and good until HR targets someone you happen to be chums with. Now your stuck rooting through their shit looking for evidence, or even after people are let go or quit. When you help their supervisor get into their computer you can find stuff that shocks you and sometimes leads to calls to the police. In short, you don't have to be a jerk but respect and fear often accomplish the same goals. We prefer respect, when we can't get that we'll take fear.
I'll have to agree, but they were shooting for a larger audience. I'll have to say the first month was fun. I'm sorta casual when I play an MMO, but after the first month I'd done damn near everything in the game at that point. They also kept changing spell effects and effects of other abilities, never knew what you were going to be able to do when you logged on.
A couple things that I did like though; tactical use of the environment. If I was on the 2nd floor and I could see enemies on the first, I could kill them and the game encouraged that, unlike so many that call it an exploit. I enjoyed how charm monster worked.
Other than that it lacked anything significant to hold me.
I agree with this completely, just bought a house and if it didn't have phone jacks wired already that would have played a part in what I offered. if you ever want to get a security system it is cheaper to use one that can use a landline, they make ones that use cell signals but they cost more. Not a huge issue but a potential issue for a buyer. If you know you are never going to sell your house you've no worries.

It's a matter of ethics, something you expect someone in his position to have a modicum of.
Tactics like these would encourage me to pirate games, or give them up all together.

I'd mod you up if I could, this is the reason Facebook is not the future of the internet.

The grocery store..... go later as single women seem to shop later in the day; presumably after work.

That is very true.
I think CA is bad example. There are plenty of states that mange their utilities just fine.
No one can defeat the Quad Laser. Jumping is useless.
This is gonna seriously tick off Ignignokt and Err. They're from the moon.

we could "accidentally" drop anchor on it....

Because they dabble in croakamancy?

I was going to point out that for the planets Greenest Gaming PC it looks awfully black.....
