You're confusing the kids in wool beanies and box frames with developers who aren't interested in, or able to court major publishers. Poor joke, but nice try. I suppose.
Really? HL2 is still brought constantly in the gaming media at the very least. Perhaps because it's the highest rated game of all time? http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/half-life-2
I wondered about that too, just sounds like an excuse. I suppose you could argue that collectively the bored teens and others making up groups like Anon have more disposable income than the military, but that's... stupid no matter how you slice it. They could just as truthfully say that they are outmanned due to there being more civilian net users than military.
I suppose they could be referring to other countries who've developed more resources to deal with a cyberthreat...
My first real pc was somewhat akin to Frankenstein's monster. It was cobbled together from used parts my cousin had bought by palette load at a government auction. We spent a few days somewhat randomly cobbling things together using his clone pc as a blueprint for what we should end up with. Took a few processors before we figured out there was a difference between socket types. All I remember now is that it was a 66mhz AMD. A 486, I believe. I had no case, so it just sat on my desktop in pieces and was used until I hucked it at fourteen when my parents bought me a clone from The Brick. Such a shame.
Even ignoring the political backlash, Social Security is a dangerous place to start simply because so many people are counting on it already. I absolutely agree with what you're saying otherwise. The obvious solution, at least to my admittedly civilian eyes is for the army to figure out how to get by without $600 toilet seats, or just call the whole show off.
Actually for those suddenly curious seal in my experience is a little gamey very dark and extremely oily, it's almost comparable to a fishy version of the liver of larger game like caribou, moose, or I suppose beef. I've not tried seal blubber but I've had whale skin and blubber which... well tastes mostly like you'd expect it to.
Policies are in place for good reason in many cases. You worked in an area with access to valuable materials which would have otherwise have been reasonably easy to smuggle out, what you've described seems to be common practice at any pharmacy. No different than the insane searches for those leaving diamond or gold mines and processing plants. Whether or not he personally trusted you wasn't the point.
I'm with you except the point of 24/7 recording. Outside of their official duties they should be given the same right to privacy as they are supposed to be helping us protect.
The short answer was larger scale PvP. Our empire city spent unfathomable amounts of resources combating the rebel scum and destroying their installations. I'll agree though that before the addition of "the village" the game could be said to be a little light on real endgame content aside from that and a few specific challenges. That said, the change to the Jedi system that came with the Village was enough to put me off of the game when I'd already spent a few months with my swordsman/defenses stacker capped out on exp, They were bungling decisions in that game long before NGE.
Being insensitive didn't give this woman cancer, people need to accept that those in the medical profession frequently use gallows humor to avoid stringing themselves up in a broom closet. That said reading TFA makes this situation sound like something out of a horror movie: "She said the doctor told her of his intention when she was about to pass out from anaesthesia on the operating table.
"He leaned over me and, for my ears only, he said: 'I'm going to take your clitoris too'," she said. "
And this isn't a problem with oil, gas or mineral developments? As per TFA: "The Osage also fear that large wind farms will interfere with extracting oil and gas, from which royalties are paid." They're willing to accept damage to the environment, on the condition they're paid.
And what happens when they hit one of the many, many, many malware ridden placeholders or lapsed domains? If you know the URL already by all means, if not using Google is less stupid than your comment.
You've dreamed up these vigilantes willing to kill for property to try and make a point, So just to make me the eleventh person in the thread, please go fuck yourself.
I hope it's just you. Whether or not the vast majority of them have a criminal record they now deserve one. Go poke through the public Facebook albums of rioters. Heaven forbid we persecute the scum in our society who took this opportunity to rob stores, commit arson, and assault bystanders. Your comment about "almost nobody" being violent is robbed of most of its weight as you peruse the album and see alongside the flipped cars and broken windows several instances of men and women on the ground being beaten and kicked, while rioters carrying mannequin limbs with blood spattered on them.
I'm assuming your parents are quite displeased to have you speaking to your elders so rudely, Aren't you worried they'll ground you and take away your X-Box?
And you, fearful of retaliation and being held accountable for what you chose to say elected to say as much as an AC. Welcome to Slashdot, please take a sock puppet and continue on your way.
I think Terraria has room to develop into an interesting game, but it's so light on content at the moment I believe it's hard to say it wasn't rushed out to make a buck:P
The vast majority of what the Wii sees is shovelware that imitates anything decent Nintendo puts out themselves, this is happening all over again with Kinect and Move. As fun and original as Guitar Hero was, they've managed to kill the series in a few short years because they milked it so hard it's heart and lungs came out.

Yeah, it really fell through for them with Gmail, it seems. /facepalm
On the off chance there are still some kicking around I've yet to take the plunge.

Much appreciated, either way.

China tends to try to balance these issues with being a productive country, if that helps clear things up a little ;)

I'm assuming this this powerful beam of energy is an alien transmission which roughly translates to " You're next. "

If you're a dickhead, you generally get treated like one. Go fuck yourself troll.

I was several times more impressed with William Kamkwamba.

I was with you until you mentioned Terraria, a game that just rehashes Minecraft in a rush to make a buck.
