In 1969 the United States Supreme Court upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the Fairness Doctrine where channels were limited. But the courts did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so.[3] The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the Doctrine. However, the proliferation of cable television, multiple channels within cable, public-access channels, and the Internet have eroded this argument, since there are plenty of places for ordinary individuals to make public comments on controversial issues at low or no cost at all.
The Fairness Doctrine was abolished in 1987. So you're frothing at the mouth over a doctrine that was discontinued almost 30 years ago, and was intended to promote discussion of public issues on a scarce medium, and you think it is somehow relevant to the Internet in 2015.
But hey, don't let actual details get in the way of your breathless hyperbole.
Considering he made the exact same mistake twice in a row, it seems like more than just a one-off typo don't you think?
And your response to someone teasingly pointing this out, is offensive name calling?
What are you, twelve? From the generation where nobody is ever told they're wrong and everybody gets a participation trophy?
Mature adults acknowledge their mistakes and attempt to learn from them. If I was repeatedly making a mistake like this, I would WANT it pointed out to me.
MOO2 was pretty good too.. the only thing I remember disliking compared to the first one was the number of ships you could build were more limited due to different supply mechanics.
MOO3 wasn't evan a game, it was a fucking spreadsheet. Never been more disappointed in a game. And I've played Daikatana and DNF.
Telemetry by its very definition is transmitted to a remote monitoring station... the word literally means "remote measure". They didn't have to "recover" it (like a physical airplane flight data recorder or something).
Because you purchased it while geographically located in Russia, using a Russian Steam account, a Russian billing address and a Russian credit cart (or Russian PayPal account or whatever)?
You can't easily accomplish these things by just "buying it from a Russian site".
Ummm... why? You think it's preposterous that software exploits are bought and sold?

5-10 minutes? It's a television series, not a movie.
The entire first episode (at LEAST) will be devoted to the first short story ("The Psychohistorians"), of which Hari Seldon is the main character.
In fact, I expect they will want to do one season per book (3 seasons to cover the trilogy). If that is the case, having each of the 5 short stories that comprise Foundation take up two episodes each would make for an ideal 10-episode season of TV.
Sorry, but the steaming pile of ignorance is yours.

No, it was browser devs (WHATWG, as the GP correctly pointed out) ignoring the W3C's strict XHTML idiocy and opting for a saner route.
The WHATWG was formed in response to the slow development of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web standards and W3C's decision to abandon HTML in favor of XML-based technologies.

Love or hate Apple, they're good at simple. There's no way they're going to make people do a full unlock and locate an app for NFC payments, it'll be integrated right into the OS and in all likelihood be disgustingly convenient.
I imagine something like, you'll have activated NFC from your slide-up tray... then probably just swipe your phone near the merchant terminal, slide to accept an alert box, and then thumbprint to confirm the transaction.
We play 5-6 player Catan all the time and don't find the extra build phase slows anything down at all.
When the dice are passed to the next player, anybody who wants to build something just says "Buying X at the end of your turn" and that's that. In the extremely rare case of a conflict, you just resolve the builds clockwise from the current player. There's no need to stop and ask each player in turn "are you building anything?", which is the only way I can imagine it "bogging things down".
If anything, it speeds things up considerably (you can get new towns/cities out that much faster which immediately improves your income position, and it really cuts down on people needing to discard half their hand on a 7).
We have a house rule where anybody that starts bitching about something ("you blocked my road!", "my numbers never come up!", etc) has to immediately take a shot.
Ha, it goes even deeper... I seem to recall the original version of my post read more as an explanation of why you were wrong, and was tending towards a snarky ending... before I realized what I too was doing. Hence the concise, neutral presentation of facts I posted instead.;)
Because the sad truth is that while poorly phrased (intelligence itself as you correctly noted is not the liability, but "flaunting" it can be), the OP has a valid point too... schoolyard social stigma against "brainy" kids can cause them to hide their intelligence or not use it. It doesn't have to be about know-it-alls putting other people down... it can be about the shy kid afraid to raise his hand in class.

Uh.. yeah.. they should really be accounting for that.
Seriously, if you think this makes the statistics "flawed"... then you don't know anything about statistics.

Wow.
Having a personal distaste for profanity is perfectly fine.
Acting like it affects the validity of someone's argument is absolutely inane.
Have a nice day.

Sure they do. See a lot of PCX or TGA files around these days?

We got HTML5 despite the W3C, not thanks to them.

They're assuming cases are underreported by a factor of 2.5.

They drove down the Las Vegas strip. In May.
Pretty much the opposite of "desolate strip of highway".
I'm interested in Apple Pay.
I'm not interested in a bigger phone, or the watch.
This leaves me with no options.

It is, actually. You don't often see such an efficiently self-demonstrating explanation. ;)
