If we worked it by popular vote, only fewer than 10 states would be needed to win the election.
So exactly how often does one candidate get 100% of the vote in any state? If we worked by popular vote, there is no winning or losing of a state. Sure CA and NY and other large population states are won by the democrats now, but none of them have as much as 75% of the population voting for a single candidate. The reason we should decide the next president on popular vote is so that those 25%+ in those states won by democrats do count, and so that my vote for John Kerry in Alabama would have counted.
I contend that we may also have had a different winner this time around had the election been decided on popular vote. I'd bet there would be more Kerry votes coming out of the red states than Bush votes coming out of the blue states, maybe even enough to win the popular vote.
However, password111 password222 password333 and such would work. I can't imagine that would be any harder for someone only slightly modifying their passwords.
In my second CS class at my university we once had a problem on one of our tests that became infinitly easier by reading the directions. Above the question it said "Assume all comments are correct." We then had around 100-150 lines of C++ code with horrible one letter variables and functions that switched the naming of the variables while manipulating them. I had at least 10 friends who said they spent about 45 minutes on that problem. I simply read the commented section in the second function(which was called last of course). It clearly stated "The entire output of this program is 'go home', now go home!" Needless to say, I went straight to the bar. Damn those CS tests.
Well I happened to take my AP Calculus class two years ago with a girl who aced it and had guys "all over her." Not only that, but she was the homecoming queen, Miss , senior class president, and finished in the top 10 of our 367 in our class. Also, like me, she was a band nerd. She marched in the marching band, played in the symphonic band, tried out for all-state and other honor bands, and even became one of the three drum majors of our 200+ person marching band.
This girl was one of the most physically attractive, popular, and intelligent people in our school, while also being a math and band nerd.
I don't play NFL games at all, but I pretty much still agree with your point for a different reason. I go to the University of Alabama (and yes, we're a drinking school with a football problem) and I'd say around 90-95% of the guys that go to school down here play EA's NCAA200* line of games on either the Playstation2 or Xbox. I have yet to see anyone down here playing any other college football game. EA Sports clearly has more loyal customers than Sega, and while a price drop from Sega might change a few people's choice, most will keep playing EA's games.
> They buy computers in pieces over a 3-4 month timespan.
That isn't so strange really, I've been buying my computers in the same manner for about six years now. Every three or four months I buy a piece of hardware and put it in my machine, and sooner or later I end up with enough "old" parts that I have another computer. You could argue that I am just upgrading my current computer, but by the time I've upgraded everything in it I've bought a new one, right?
Alright, maybe I'm just behind the times or a bit confused, but for the life of me I can't figure out IAKAP. Perhaps it was meant to be IANAP (I am not a physicist)?
The only other thing I can come up with is "I ain't knowledgeable about physics," and I'm just hoping that a statement like that wouldn't be abbreviated.
So where exactly was this timeline? It looked to me much more like a 5 page list of dated events. They seemed to have missed out on a very important part of the timeline....the LINE.
I'll be the first to admit I HATE aiming with joysticks. I absolutely suck at it. The strange thing is that my first FPS to play was goldeneye for the N64 and I was the master at it, however, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a joystick now. I guess it's just too much counter-strike to blame.

While you're definition may not be correct (I really have no idea), it's the only one that has made any sense whatsoever to me so far.

I see...that makes sense I guess.
However, they were not under enemy fire and the reason Kerry's boat was there first was because Kerry ran when they came under fire.
So they were not under enemy fire but yet they were under enemy fire, eh? Sorry, you can't have both.
Well I was going to make a comment making fun of "unclear, ambiguous" by saying something like:

"To the point that there are so many unclear, ambiguous, redundant, repetitive, redundant, repetitive
But now I'm worried I'll be wrong about something and someone will call me out on it.

Sure, but what about prehistoric vegetables? I'm betting you wouldn't care to eat too much of them.
My thoughts exactly, but honestly, who could expect such plants to be efficient at those times? It's not like anything else was.

Care to name some other developers with as impressive a track record of producing original, highly-addictive games that have been as popular?
Yes, I do. Sid Meier.
