Pity they can't just sell their drugs to doctors based on the fact that they are actually BETTER at what they are supposed to do. Generally I'd say if you have to bribe someone to choose drug A over drug B for their patients (the ones they want to keep alive in order to pay off those doctor bills) then the medicine probably isn't that great to begin with.
If game programmers dislike the Cell, why can't they just convince their bosses to target their next project at PC and Xbox 360 instead of PS3 and Xbox 360?
Simple reason is that facebook is already a working hub for all of my friends, there are those who have switched to google plus, but as long as all my friends, all my co-workers and all of my family, is already in one place? Why go someplace else? Google needs to blow some capital to get people to move. Offer incentives to switch, that's how business works.
How can they it's not really silicon based? I'm assuming that at least part of what gives the phosphorus its transistor like abilities is the fact that it's embedded in the silicon in the first place? Or am I missing something?
like the Sega 32x, is that they cost as much as the original console did. If Im going to drop the same amount I did on the original console, it better be because I just bought an entire new console, not something of dubious value that gives me an incremental increase that's barely noticeable over default. If the upgrade was a one slot drop in a unit with an upgraded graphics chip, upgraded CPU and memory for half the price of the original? Hmmmm mebbe.
That nurses do this as well. 30 of us would be standing out in the hallway post test saying things like,
"How did you answer that question about disseminated intravascular coagulation?" "Ohhhhh".
If there was something of note, one of us would make a note about certain questions where our line of thinking was incorrect to go over later in study group. This sounds more formal than what we did, but I don't think there is really anything different about it aside from the level the MD students take it to, then again, with the level of knowledge required, a couple of notes here and there probably just doesn't cut it.
We're the US, we're going to have SOPA and PIPA pretty soon, why innovate when you can make sure the DoJ will have their hands full tracking down people and throwing them in jail so that we can all sit on our collective asses and get paid for old tech we made *years* ago...
They could make up a list of words associated with trademarks/copyrights and every time someone either searched for, or posted a comment about something with one of those terms in it, they could use a popup "You used the copyrighted/trademarked term "(/insertstringhere)", Under the pending SOPA legislation, if the owner company sent us notice regarding this comment we would have no choice but to censor it. Please contact your representative and/or senator to let them know you stand with us in opposition to this extremely poorly worded piece of legislation"
3d IS being attacked, every couple of weeks/months there's an article posted up about someone else declaring their hate for 3D televisions and the fact that its either over and/or dead fad. So apparently the old "no-ones holding a gun to your head criticism" isn't the only thing that pops up on Slashdot regularly. You want to criticize it? Fine, go for it, knock yourself out, but it really is like saying "OMG I DON"T LIKE PANCAKES". Now I can make that post here every couple of weeks, and it may be perfectly valid of me to tell people that I don't like pancakes, doesn't change the fact that no one is forcing me to eat pancakes. Bitching about a personal preference is just stupid. I suppose everyone would be happy if we all just capitulated to the 2D lovers amongst us and said, you're right this sucks, we're not going to make anymore. NO, that's not what's going to happen; what is going to happen (and is happening) is that there is going to be tech that's imperfect at first, and then people are going to work at it so that it gets better and the barriers to 3D eventually dissolve. 3D isn't going to go away at this point, it's simply going to get better, and the early adopters are going to drag the rest of you, kicking and screaming, into a new era where 3D is the norm.
I was one of the first purchasers and the only issue I find with it is the fact that they aren't releasing enough and what they are releasing is sometimes as much as twice the price of the regular blu-ray if you don't pick it with the release day sales.
Are there some downsides? Yes, you have to wear the glasses, not a big deal to me or my wife or my kid, two of us already wear glasses 24/7 anyhow. Millions of people do everyday, and for some reason it's some massive inconvenience. I'll bet everyone who whines about having to wear the glasses to watch 3D tv has no problems popping on a pair of Ray-bans, D&Gs or Oakleys when they head out on a sunny day. "Oh but the sun comes in from the sides and distracts me". Seriously?
If you don't want to use 3D, then don't. No one's holding a gun to your head. There are still plenty of TVs out there that don't have 3D built in, but until someone does hold a gun to your head or you can't buy a TV sans 3D, (In which case there won't be a surcharge for the technology anyhow...) just STFU with all the complaining. The people who are buying it are enjoying it. The 3D is excellent save for the occasional bad job and WE like it. Now go ahead and mod me down because I didn't say "Yeah you're right my 3D sucks".
Is it really so hard to comprehend that for the last 30 years workers productivity has skyrocketed while real wages have stayed stagnant and benefits have decreased. That's really so fuckin' hard to understand? All these people want is an equivocal piece of the pie Mr. Morris. I hardly think that qualifies as incoherent. Simply because Faux News refuses to clear the air with all of its bought and paid for mouth pieces standing around going "I don't know what they want, do you know?", "Hell no, I don't know, they must be commie hippies." doesn't mean there's not a coherent message in there if you merely take 10 seconds and THINK about it.
Actually, not at all, there was a time in my life before I was a college graduate that I lived in a very poor part of town and drove a crappy older vehicle and I've never been pulled over so many times in such a short period of time for the most bullshit reasons. "Your tail light is dim", "Your taillight has a crack in it", etc (tail lights were fine...btw), they just wanted to pull me over because I was there.
Oh, and btw, I'm Caucasian anonymous griefer, wanna try again?
Because if they were iDrones they'd cost us 50% more, really not be any more secure from someone determined to get in, you'd have to have someone with even more special training to work on it, and you'd have to send it back to the manufacturer to get the batteries replaced.
I had to go and look at the wikipedia site for Heathkit, as the name sounded familiar but I couldn't place anything. Once I brought the pictures up though, memories of my dads work shop came flooding back to me and I recognized several of the kits that my dad had in there. He was an radio/electronics guy in the Coast Guard and a ham radio operator. If nothing else, thanks for some dredging up some fond memories of my father.:o)
Cause you might be an illegal, or al-queda, or worse. It's the whole locking down of the country thing after 9/11, our rights got trampled on so badly after that occurred it was crazy. Granted, we were slowly losing them prior to that, but after 9/11 we flew our flags and talked crap about how much they hated us for our rights, and then we turned around a few months later and gave them all away. It's why the border is so screwed up, it used to be they were looking for illegals and drugs, now they are looking for anything JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. It used to be I could drive to Disneyland on I-10 only stopping for potty breaks. Now I have to stop 3 times between Phoenix and LA for random armed thug visual searches of my vehicle. (FUCK YOU BORDER PATROL!) It used to be you could get on a plane and had to have your baggage checked and walk through a metal detector, now they want to virtually strip search you and/or grope you in addition to the rest.
Not going to blame it on either party because they've both had a hand in implementing crap that have stripped us of our rights, but I will say that I'm extremely disappointed that the current administration hasn't done a single thing to roll back some of the draconian measures implemented under the previous admin. It sucks knowing my only power is that of a vote that really stands for nothing aside for which sell out and corporate shill to stand behind.
If that's the case then I certainly hope this one goes all the way to the Supreme Court. I should hope that even the Jersey Shore/Fox News watching, lulled to sleep American people are outraged if the Supreme Court declares its illegal to videotape a cop.

How exactly these things (armed BP checkpoint charlies) are legal under the 4th Amendment.....they certainly shouldn't be. :(
I don't have the game, but I did see the cut scene, AND an explanation, and I still don't get all the jokes about taking an arrow in the knee.

Me thinks they need a +1 homophobic psycho mod.
My gaming PC already sounds like a Hoover and now you're telling me the next evolution in cooling is to put a turbine in it? :o(

So you're well off and Caucasian? Must be, cause trust me they enjoy fucking with the rest of us.....

Last time I tried Tucows, same thing. Some crap installer kept popping up. God only knows what the hell it installed on my system. :o(

I'm a nurse who works those 12 hour shifts that sometimes turn into 13 and 13 and half hour shifts. I would gladly trade my 3 12s for 4 8s.
Not in Arizona you sure as hell don't, you shoot to kill. A living man can contradict you.
