Does the phrase "double jeopardy" ring any bells? No? Here....let me help: "Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same, or similar charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction"
Uh...really? Because I think that would result in a lower balance in my account. Now, I could be wrong about this (I feel like i have to point out my sarcasm here), but those numbers in my bank account represent physical money that I can withdraw at any time. I'm not saying that everybody should be free to copy games and movies all they want, but that it doesn't liken to the proper definition of theft when I copy the items in question. I don't know why I'm responding to this...we've seen this argument here a zillion times.
i haven't even played the game in question, and I'm sure I'd enjoy it. I've played guitar for 11 years and I will do anything I can to advance my playing. This game isn't going to turn me into Joe Satriani. I'm not going to be the next Paul Gilbert. I can only dream of being Steffen Schackiner. But if this game brings me even one step closer, then it is worth it. I am almost entirely self tought, and i wish I had been classically trained. I think i do fairly well for myself (if that link failed and you're still interested, search youtube for anarki2004) My point is that it's up to you how far you can go. Not everybody can be Steve Vai, but anyone can try.
The article is kind of light on the details. I wonder if the phone in question was in "airplane mode" or offline or something and the old man just didn't get it.
Ouch. That's rough. You would almost be better off with something like shitty HughesNet with their 250Mb per day bandwidth cap. Of course latency would be an issue. Also, who's the asshat that modded C64 offtopic? I suppose the bit about comcast doesn't add anything useful to the discussion, but it is at least partially related to the article at hand. If anything my comment is offtopic.
I might suggest a regular resistance atomizer for use with the RIVA as you can sometimes end up with a sort of burned taste. It takes some experimenting to figure out what works best for you. Your best bet is to head over to the E-Cig Forum and doing a bit of reading. There's a lot to choose from and you should be able to make a more well informed decision based on what you find there.
So perhaps some regulation is needed to limit the maximum concentration (not that I welcome such a thing). Stop protecting me from myself. Most people try a higher dosage because they want something called "throat hit". I achieve a good TH by using a low electrical resistance atomizer and a high mAh battery (low capacity batteries will be damaged by a LR atty). Nobody really NEEDS 36mg/ml concentration, but I order it so I can dilute it with PG or VG and get more e-juice for my buck. The moar you know and such.
As an e-cig enthusiast, I will attest that it just isn't the same. With the e-cig, I get the satisfaction of inhaling something and seeing the resulting cloud. I also get my nicotine fix. Sure, nicotine is a poison, but at least all I'm inhaling is nicotine and propylene glycol (or food grade vegetable glycerin); there is no burning or 4000+ chemicals as found in a traditional cigarette. The gum just doesn't do it for most people.
I do believe conspiracy to commit a crime is a real charge. Of course, you could say you are writing a novel or something too. It would really depend on how you approach the situation. Then again, you can't be charged for the crimes somebody else committed; if you were found to be encouraging it or that it was your intent, I'm sure you could be prosecuted for something.
We all know that the moon is not in fact made out of green cheese. But what if it were made of barbeque spare ribs? Would ya eat it then? I know I would. Heck, I'd have seconds, and then polish it off with a cool Budweiser.
On your argument about price - weed in California (where people CAN grow it and whatnot) costs about the same or even more than the same quality herb here in Chicago. The real problem is finding, with consistency, herb of the same quality that California produces.
I really hate seeing this argument about weed being laced with something else. Why would that happen? It would cost more money to the person lacing the ganja with no net benefit (unless we're talking about adding something like lead for additional weight). The concept of getting somebody hooked because the product has other drugs in it is fallacious at best. Outside of one or two fringe cases, what evidence do you have to substantiate the claim that dealers lace their grass on any regular basis? I'm all for legalization, but lets get our facts straight. When a drug dealer is selling herb with PCP, it is sold as an "enhancement" and costs more money (at which point there is a net benefit). The buyer is usually (I admit, not EVERY time) made aware of this fact before the purchase.
Hmm...It would appear that in my haste to get a semi-relevant first post, I neglected to type the word "the". This is almost as bad as the time I accidentally my whole hard drive.

Hehe...."Bailiff, whack his peepee". I use that phrase all the time. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
And then it's time to play "find the eyeball".

I use a RIVA battery (available in a 901 or 510 style thread). My atomizer is a low resistance SLB 901 I also use an aluminum dripper tip

My family regularly makes eggplant parmesan. Basically it is chicken parm with eggplant instead of chicken. Everybody loves it.

Clearly, you haven't played much Zelda.
Do you realize the g-forces involved in doing acrobatics in a fighter jet? Pretty unlikely.
The phrase tyranny of the majority comes to mind.
Ummm...yeah...If you haven't noticed, we figured that out already. But thanks for your equally useless input.

Oh damn...allow me to retract my original statement.
reading comprehension: i fail it
i apologize for my stupidity. however this is the internet and thus, this is to be expected
on a completely unrelated note, typing on a netbook is effing terrible
He said the word of god. Not the word "god".
reading comprehension: try it some time
Do you then proceed to tell them that you're "all out of gum"?

That's nothing. What about a gait like this?
