they are going to force you to hook up a electrical cord to your mouse (fees for cord seperate from game) if they think you are pirating software they shock you. Sure, logically, anyone who has the special hardware would also have the game, but piracy is killing there sales and online DRM wasn't working so someone needs to do something.
Maybe they wont go that far, but i suspect the logic will not change, just the system.
ya i would of used that except landing a rover on mars like we did trumps the moon by alot. My point was, hitting 54 MPG is not that great of a feat, one that has been done but has been shut down by oil company's.
Lets see....we just shot a rover to mars and landed it on a dime...without human intervention mind you..but we cant make a car that gets 54 MPG?...i have a hard time doubting that one.
While they not be related, my point is, we are a creative species full of endless possibility's if only we try
More then likely its oil company's that are saying 'we cant do it' while salivating at there ever growing numbers.
I wouldnt consider our nation 'uncivilized' as more taken over by greed. Regan had this theory in the 80's, greed is good, turns out its only good for a few people...world wide. We can thank Regan for this BS, the whole trickle down was his idea and it only kept going because the people who where benefiting from trickle down where also funding the elections, funny how that worked. Now are right wingers make Regan look like a ultra liberal, and apparently freedom of religion is only for christens, freedom of speech is only for corporations and from these latest ruling, freedom of search and seizure only applys if the cops think your doing nothing wrong, that works out good though because our private prisons get to make more money to 'trickle down.'
id rather have a dumb phone instead of a iphone. Hell, id rather have a 80's corded phone then a iphone...you know those old rotary phones? yep, id take that over a iphone....because apple needs to just die like it should of in the 90's, go be with steve jobs.
Well i spent 60.00 before i realized it was always online, Accutuly, the only real reason why i bought the game was to find out the rest of the story; i wasnt awed like i was in diablo 2, but it was cool...azmodan was cool...diablo...not so much. I dont know what i would of done had i figured out that it was always online. Maybe i would of bought it, i bought GW2 and all its expansions; i am a pirate at heart though, so buying any game is a big deal.
However,
I did get my 60.00 back cause somone wanted to buy something from me for real money shenanigans, so i guess i sorta pirated it? not realy, but it was still free hooray!
Its either. A. Sir! we got a astroid that is going to hit earth with in 20 years.
Good find private, now send up the ION maker and point at it for the next 15 years, that should move it away to safely pass by
OR B. Sir we got a asteroid that will hit us in the next few months
Good find private, we will nuke the bastard, but first we must make some realy cool ships, get a few heroes and they can go drill the hole in the asteroid and really get it good.
A is good if it realy happens, B is good for the movie theater...
Please point me to something that shows his opponent romney has any real world knowledge of anything.
Sorry bud, but the richer you are, the less you know because knowledge requires experience and sitting up on a high horse and looking down on everyone is not experience.
That is the compassionate conservationism that bush always claimed, good job on your astounding ability to remove yourself from others feelings. I am sure you could of found a review without immortalizing your lack of compassion.
"you’re basically saying an astronaut’s life is worth twenty-eight billion dollars"
Such a simplistic way of looking at it.
What is the price that is needed to pay for human exploration? what has it always been? Blood of course; a astronauts death is tragic, but the reward for that is much bigger than any one person and astronauts are very much aware of this.I dont think that anyone one of them think, 'they spent 28 billion dollars to save me' So so shallow.
They are heros because they do something that is highly dangerous and they will really never directly benefit from it other then status and even that is hardly anything anymore, instead this country worships athletes, movie stars and singers, the more drugged out and retarded, the more news time and celebrity status, its sickening. While i am sure astronauts make good money, its not CEO money....but it should be. Romney should pay 15% taxes directly to them simply for the privilege of being in the same country, that spineless fake.
But again, your focused on showing the students they need to prove to the world they can succeed through grades instead of focusing on education.
Basically, if you take all the BS everyone looks at, remove it, then focus on just teaching...alot of these problems will remove themselves.
I dont belive there should be grades, grades are not a indication on learning...its a indication on how indoctrinated you are to play the educational game.(hence the cheating)
Lots of people go through college and come out not knowing a fucking thing, its not that they are stupid, its not that they cheated, its that the human mind is not built to remember obscure facts, infact, memory is highly unreliable.
Knowledge comes through experience, training and curiosity, these are things that should be focused on throughout the educational life of a person; not grades and tests.
Cheating is a byproduct of a failed education system. Instead of driving students to learn, we drive them to show the world they can succeed; Students cheat because they don't want to take time to learn a subject, and why is that?
The solution is not to come up with ways to stop the students from cheating, the solution is to come up with ways to make education interactive and enjoyable therefore minimizing the desire to cheat on a test (test in themselves is a band-aid solution to this very problem)
Again we have large institutions forcing a solution that is against the very nature of the people they are overseeing.
I am with you on the sports...I am working on getting my son into science and looking up to people who do something for the world; Parents who encourage there kids to worship sports figures are not doing there kids any favors as well as the world.
but alas, parents only have so much control...so my son still may end up being one of those people who think that the latest super star is somehow important to the world, all i can do is point out how ridiculous looking up to figures like that really is.
"- how are bytes being counted? Bytes are not counted like phone minutes. Packets are re-transmitted out of necessity. Do they count twice?"
Not only would they be counted twice, but the ISP will be preforming 'maintenance' every day slowing the internet to a crawl and forcing websites to retransmit over and over again...
I dont think this will happen, but if it did, you can be sure that you are going to be charged for every bit that passes over there network..even if its there fault.
I think the metered result from the wireless companys will look back as a failure. When the technology was new they could justify a metered way of doing things, the internet started in similar fashion, you remember 250 hours free from AOL? yes i know, nightmares of AOL, but you do remember that right? it was dropped eventually and the same thing is happening with wireless. Currently i pay 50.00 a month for unlimited text, data, and voice, i can even tether it to my laptop.
No, i dont think ISP will go to metered with much results, it was tried i believe and the backlash caused them to pull back..now with so much bandwidth required for free services like youtube, but also paid service like netflix, the company that will try this will lose to other company's who wont touch this; and if they all try this, then its time to start a ISP that wont..it will happen the same way the internet started and where wireless is going, eventually, a ISP will offer unlimited to compete with big money, then big money will need to follow suit to keep themselves in big money.
that being said, if they do this...ill cancel my internet and use a open wifi. (adding another level of problems for ISP)

Nah, they would get sued.
they are going to force you to hook up a electrical cord to your mouse (fees for cord seperate from game) if they think you are pirating software they shock you.

Maybe they wont go that far, but i suspect the logic will not change, just the system.
I doubt you have any evidence of this, and i seriously doubt your in any position to understand what your talking about.
For a low budget agency, it does some amazing things; or do you not bother keeping up with what your tax dollars are doing?
ya i would of used that except landing a rover on mars like we did trumps the moon by alot. My point was, hitting 54 MPG is not that great of a feat, one that has been done but has been shut down by oil company's.

Well you just need some private prisons is all; tune will change with money rolling around......it always does.
"They won't unless they infringe upon Apple's money"
fixed that for you
id rather have a dumb phone instead of a iphone. Hell, id rather have a 80's corded phone then a iphone...you know those old rotary phones? yep, id take that over a iphone....because apple needs to just die like it should of in the 90's, go be with steve jobs.

That wouldnt be a good movie.

So you are accusing what exactly? be more specific, not open ended words you hear on right wing radio.
Also, provide facts when making allegations, and not your right wing rumor mill.
so what your saying is 'i didnt read your post, i just wanted to say something stupid.'
ahh religion, making humanity dumber since 1200 BC
Please point me to something that shows his opponent romney has any real world knowledge of anything.

i suppose you never read the US constitution, specifically against cruel and unusual punishment.
It seems the dark ages where more to your liking, may i suggest you leave this life and try and get one back then,
Not your call, but it is your choice to not talk about it...makes me wonder, why are you talking about it?
you where going to hell before that one, how on earth does that make a difference?

Just say it...
Everyone should pirate everything to make a point, shit needs to change because what was acceptable is no longer acceptable.
