One bug every 2-3 months. How long does it take to resolve that bug. An estimate of 4-6 bugs a year is not that severe of an issue and like the owner is better off without the extensive bug testing.
You miss the point. Even if Panasonic didn't have accidental insurance (they do), you still want the better product. Toughbooks and those like it aren't about getting your computer replaced if it breaks. It's about having the most reliable and durable product you can have, because under harsh operational conditions you need your shit to work without having to wait for your replacement to be mailed to you overseas, or keeping a stock of backup laptops that you have to transfer new data to daily and hope you can salvage whatever data you lost that day.
You want whatever product will hold up the best so you don't lose data/time/resources to mishaps.
and completely morally bankrupt (in your argument here, not in general, no personal attack)
if the first amendment is not vigorously protected from idiotic legal decisions, the entire basis of the society upon which this might legal code rests begins to decay
my use of the term "fiduciary duty" is still 100% fine in this situation, since the use of term is not beholden to a purely legalistic interpretation. all businesses have, indeed, a fiduciary duty (not in legal terms) to protect and foster the trust of their clients, just as you note. that i am not using the term with 100% legality is besides the point, because there is a larger legal issue here in play that must be fought, however shoddy the ammunition
the legal code has no meaning if it corrodes the principles upon which it stands, which, in this case, it obviously does (the first amendment). despite all polemics and verbose gyrations to the contrary, despite the (supposed) legal preeminence of whomever is authoring such polemics
i respect no legal decision that obviously abridges the first amendment, and i expect no one else to either. of course, who the hell am i to declare my moral preeminence here over the decisions of those far more legally learned than myself? lots of people believe in such self-grandiosity, from al qaeda terrorists to morons who shoot abortion doctors. you would and should retort that this is a dangerous position for an obvious legal buffoon like myself to take, without a firm understanding of the subtleties involved. leave the legalities to the professionals
i would respond that normally, yes, it is not my position to speak, but when vital concepts are abridged, it is my duty to speak. the questionable opinions of legal buffoons like myself are moot as long as the legal structure and those charged with upholding the essential principles of the country actually do that job, and do it zealously. they haven't done so here
for the common people such as myself may not be legal scholars, but we're not idiots, and we will not tolerate a clear and obvious stray from a clear and obvious directive, which the ruling that compels google to divulge the identity of blogger obviously violates the spirit of the first amendment, if not the minuscule and mechanical letter of the law
most of the time those declaring their moral ascendency over legal rulings are deluded quacks. but every once in awhile, the system is in error, and the common layperson actually has it right. that is the case with the decision to divulge the blogger's identity: the legal system has failed to hold the most important principles up. and so we legal buffoons take notice, and we should take notice. the stakes are too high not too
so be careful that your fine tuned legal interpretations do not provide you cover for ignoring the most important principles in play here. not that you are doing such a thing, but someone in the system here obviously is. it effects us, and it is important to us, when the first amendment is grossly violated as is the case here. the first amendment should be important to you to
not that i am saying it isn't, but if you think that the use of the term "fiduciary duty" is incorrectly used in the fight against a completely bogus legal decision that obviously, even to a legal buffoon, goes against the first amendment, i would simply ask that you mute your objection in the name of the more important principles in play here
Maybe if you used punctuation I'd read this. You may have good points, but by refusing to use capital letters, you're telling me you are either lazy or stupid.
That's the past. Death Knights, as you know, start playing open world content at about level 60.
I don't play WOW, but is there an option for Death Knights to start at level 1? For example, a new player might wanna be a Death Knight, but may not want to skip all the early content.
No there is no option for a death knight to start at level 1. You cannot, however, be a death knight until you have leveled another character to at least 55.
So for a new player to create a Death Knight, he still has to go through 55 levels with another character, and therefore gets to see the old world content still.
Go run heroics. The problem with your argument is that others have already done heroics, worked to 10 man, then on to 25 man raids. New players hit 80 and think they can raid immediately. It's so easy to get some badge gear and then pug some Naxx runs. Seriously, don't expect people to carry you though Trial of the Champion just because you hit 80 2 weeks ago.
People can still go see that content whenever they want. This sounds more like a complaint about how hard I had it leveling and all the newbs should have it just as hard.
And yes, I do play, and I leveled a feral druid pre-patch 1.3....look up the old talents trees. In the words of every 12 year old who plays WoW, QQ More.
This is a benefit. As long as the game is actually being paid for, Blizzard can continue to put out quality games. Secondly, registration saves your CD Key, so if you lose it you can download and install the game using your Blizzard Account.
No more keeping old, scratched CDs in a box in the attic.
Except the fact that the game is still being played brings in a small amount of sales. Myself, and others have lost numerous CDs and CD keys over the years, especially during moves. We just buy new copies (Blizzard's new online system lets you store your CD keys and digitally download, so this will change some). I've bought 2 physical copies and one digital for both Starcraft and Warcraft III. Multi-player is the sole reason.
The benefit of having the game good enough that people play it 10 years later is that people have friends. Friends convince friends to try out this old, but really great game. That means the game still makes money while lesser games are no longer even sold.
He's talking about the difficulty in disarming the population if we were invaded. I'm just pointing out that the government has already been attempting to disarm the population.
While I disagree with most of your statements what I want to know is why don't people get up in arms about Googles automatic scanning of emails to determine add content.
If you ever use gmail, or send mail to someone who uses gmail, the chances are that your email is already being scanned for key words.
Unions generally place money in your retirement fund directly, without you seeing the money. If you really believe Unions workers are accepting the 14 dollars an hour claimed by the UAW, you are insane.
It's not entirely GM's fault, but then again they did allow some crazy things to be negotiated into contract with the UAW.
Example: One of the benefits negotiated by the the United Auto Workers was the jobs bank program, under which laid-off members received 95 percent of their take-home pay and benefits.
Not to mention the $70+ an hour they get when you factor in benefits, according to the NY Times.

Why is this listed under your rights online? Google wrote the code, it's up to them what they want to do with it.
I'm not entirely sure this is even useful unless you can also request information to be permanently deleted.

How many months are in your year?
Just change your phone settings. I'm looking at the My Shortcuts screen on my Verizon phone right now. I get to choose what the arrows do.

Can we get Ozzie as a boss encounter or some other NPC type added for kicks.

I thought Ender in Exile was great. I've read most of Cards works.
Let's hope it's also the last.

From something I saw on Discovery, kissing actually transmits chemicals in saliva to your partner. It increases attraction.
You forgot CowboyNeil

Don't worry. Your government wants to take away your guns.

Now Dune would be a good MMO universe, imo.
It could work a great starcraft type RTS as well.
You really believe our school system focuses on high quality athletes? That goes against the growing trend of obesity in our country (America).
