Have you not noticed how similar to Android this guy's name is? Our future (and possibly time-travelling) robot overlords are mocking us in plain sight. All Hail Them!
5b. The bad guys will still be able to find a way around this, either using older vehicles, or by hardening the important functions of the car against electrical interference.
Yeah, this is another one that really bothers me. Like the idea that zombies do not need to breath and cannot be drowned. As if their muscles do not need oxygen anymore to function.
If you assume an overnight conversion of 5% of America's population to Zombies (and not a gradual spread of infection) then you have 15.6 million survivors of 320 million people.
If only 1/3 of those people actively went hunting zombies, and managed to kill just one a day, All the zombies are dead in 2 months.
This is why I can't watch shows like The Walking Dead, where zombies are really easy to kill. The level of infection would never reach 95% in a real world scenario where you are required to be infected (by bite or scratch) and killed for it to spread.
According to Wikipedia, the US has an active manpower of almost 1.5 million people. When mobilised, It is safe to assume they with training and equipment they can kill at least 5 a day, meaning the epidemic is over in less than a fortnight.
However, I have been thinking about changing slightly how I do my passwords... the base password will always stay the same, but I may prepend or append the the first 3 characters of the sites name or something (maybe not quite this obvious).
Yeah, but almost every site begins with "www" so you are still stuck with a single password everywhere
I first heard Muse after taking the wife to see the first Twilight movie (the sound track is actually really good). As a result I pirated one of their albums to see if all their music was as good. I then bought their next 2 and I paid 10€ to see a recording of their concert in Rome in July of this year. It was shown in my local cinema. It was the first time I'd seen a 'live' performance of them. I now would really love if they came to Ireland so I could go see them for real.
This article doesn't prove that for heavy metal music alone, piracy can be a benefit to their business model. Piracy can be a benefit to ANY musician's business model. You just have to not sue your fans and produce good music. Being able to put on a good live show doesn't hurt either.
It is also possible for some companies, when an item is bought using cash, to hide the existence of that sale altogether. They can avoid paying the sales tax on that transaction. Not very legal, but it happens quite a lot.
What is your point? An EV has to drive through that same dense air on a cold day. Given equal aerodynamics, the air breathing car takes some advantage of driving through dense cold air, the EV does not.
The converse is also true, on a hot day, the air breathing car is less efficient, but both cars are pushing through thinner air.
This is still comparing apples to oranges, though.
Also, they do not need any kind of artificial kind of gold-sinks. Everything used as currency only has value because of it's use as an item modifier. They always find their way out of the system in time, and ultimately the value of all currency gets reset (if it inflates too much) when the league ends and a new one begins.
Standard is the only place where the economy is somewhat out of whack.
I was of the same opinion as you in this. I think it is somewhat related to skill usage, in the early stages you are meleeing or using 2-3 skills and everything seems fine. When you have faster attacks and multistrike linked with say dual strike and are putting out 12-15 attacks a second, then it begins to desync pretty badly. This gets extremely compounded if you are using Blood rage for frenzy charges and link multistrike to flicker strike and are now teleporting all around the screen.
The real problem for me is that since death on merciless at level 70+ can mean an hour of exp lost, they really cannot afford to have death by desync happen. People in hard core leagues deliberately avoid use of certain gem combinations like those above, because they are known to increase of this kind of death. This problem has to be solved if the game is to keep my interest long term.
I've managed 180 hours since the steam release, and have discovered that going the summoner route is the way to go to avoid desync. This way you get to stand back safely while your minions take all the risk. Other ranged classes are great for this too, as melee can often be incorrectly positioned, facing the wrong way, while fighting a boss, and be attacking the air (a lot of melee classes use life leech to keep healthy, and only rely on potions for emergencies).
I'm overall quite addicted to the game, but I do see some serious issues that need immediate attention, or they will find players becoming frustrated and quitting.

Not touching that with a 1000 light-year pole.
I'm sure Archer could provide some choice words to this effect.
And what does Japan have in excess?
I think he was more worried about what would happen to all the poor lawyers when there is a massive drop in lawsuits. Somebody think of the lawyers!
I'd make sure to wash my hands after touching Anything on the internet.

Not smarts, intuition.

Perhaps an investigation needs to be performed by a regulatory authority on the road worthiness and tendency to burst into flames of the Carrera GT?

Is that an African or European octocoptor?

Or someone with a perfect photographic memory read it and reproduced it word for word. It could happen ... it COULD!
I'm sorry I can't remember where I read this, probably imgur, but I saw a funny remark:
It's positively American to celebrate one day giving thanks for what we have, and then follow it up with trampling your neighbours to get more things.

You hear that sound? It's the world's smallest viola playing, just for you.
Exactly, if the US had been spying more on its ally Al Queda, back when they were arming them, 9/11 might have been stopped!

Oh they haven't killed the oldest animal on earth, he's still asleep, dreaming.
Oh, you've never eaten old clams then.
