You make it sound like the extradition itself is going to kill him. It's not. It may make him more likely to kill himself, but that's what suicide watch is for. Threatening to kill himself is not going to get him out of an extradition.
And people in jail are put on suicide watch all the time. That doesn't mean that they stop their prosecution of them, they just keep them from hurting themselves. Expressing an intent to kill yourself does not get you off the hook for committing a crime.
Wrong. They put the "Call of Duty" back into the title when they realized that consumers couldn't associate the title without "Call of Duty" in the name.
Is this really a situation that you can't figure out on your own? Are you even capable of dressing yourself without help? For that matter, how did this make the front page of Slashdot? Is this a common occurrence that perplexes a large portion of the readership? I eagerly await the day when I see the headline "Ask Slashdot: What Should I Have for Breakfast?"

You're not investing, you're buying. If I purchase an Acura because it has a better interior, I'm buying it for my own personal enjoyment, not because I expect that it will hold value better or be worth more in the future. Your comment is akin to saying that it's "not worth the investment" to buy steak over hamburger because it all turns to shit eventually.
Actually, the "piles of medical evidince" have lead the American Association of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association not to recommend routine circumcision of newborns. Given the number and density of nerve endings in the foreskin, comparison to clitoridectomy is not so far-fetched. Just because the one is socially accepted where you live doesn't make it any less barbaric than the other.
Well, first of all, your own formula (50 mo x 15 + 50 x 2) comes out to $850. In the interest of full disclosure, the original game was $50 and the two expansions were $40, so add in another $30, and you get a cost of $880 for playing WoW since release and paying by the month.
If the average game is $60 and provides 10-20 hours of gameplay, that's $3-6 per hour. If you've been playing WoW for 50 months at a cost of $880, that's $17.60/month. If you play 5 hours and 52 minutes per month, your price per hour is $3, the low end of the price per hour of the average $60 game.
So to answer your question, yeah, it's probably an unreasonable cost if you're playing much less than 6 hours a month, but how many people paying for the game since release actually play that little?
Sony has nothing to do with the Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior titles on the NES and SNES. The reason you haven't seen these series is that Square-Enix is notorious for selling ports and remakes. If they can sell you these titles as $40 DS games, why would they cut into that with a $10 VC release?
Conversely, keeping all of that data also opens you up to legal trouble. Different types of records should be kept for different lengths of time, in accordance with your company's records schedule.
If you have too many records, you may have to turn over information that could be damaging to your case in any litigation against you - information you aren't even required to keep in the first place. Confidential information may be leaked, stolen, or lost, and the probability of that happening only goes up with time. Additionally, if you have a ton of records that you don't need and won't use, your ability to find the information you do need is severely hampered.
While high storage costs may be a factor for disposing of unneeded data, it is not the reason for doing so. You shouldn't be keeping more data just because storage is getting cheaper.

Why would the threat of him committing suicide matter for his extradition?
Wrong. They put the "Call of Duty" back into the title when they realized that consumers couldn't associate the title without "Call of Duty" in the name.
He is fuming with Apple because he would really like to play a few modern games but the video card of this model cannot be upgraded.
Why the fuck would he buy a Mac to play games?
Perhaps the governator needs to install an oversight group to make sure that earmarked funds are used for exactly what they're earmarked for.
Of course, we'll also need an oversight group to make sure that the oversight group is doing what they're supposed to be doing.

...you're joking about Serenity, right?
Wouldn't matter. I'm not giving someone else my phone so they can change the channel.
You would think that, but you would be wrong.

I hadn't thought about property taxes. I stand corrected.
"School taxes"? Where do you pay "school taxes"? Money for schools comes from state (and to a lesser and more indirect extent, federal) income taxes.
Since when was $700 reasonable for a game?

They did go back to the local store.

Bush is popular, you're just not in his target group
I didn't know that "less than 30% of the population" could be considered a target group.
