I understand where you're coming from, and I doubt that a simple BCC/CC mistake could cause too much personal damage, but I've heard stories of big corporations accidentally releasing large amounts of customer data, even social security numbers at times. At that point all though no human life is lost, it hurts the lives of many people. And that whole loss of money and reputation just adds insult to injury.
Generally I couldn't care less about whether I beat a game if it's good enough. Solitaire has nothing to it to be beaten, but something like Portal is there to be experienced. Sure I beat the game quickly, but not because I wanted to reach the end but because I was immersed in an interesting world. If you're playing video games solely for the satisfaction of being done, I suggest stop now. There, you're done and never have to play again. You have officially won.
From what I've heard, that's more a matter of opinion. Some people prefer fatty cuts of meat, some people prefer lean cuts. No animal has 0% body fat, so I would think the Prime beef would still exist to some extent. Not to mention America in general could stand to have a little less fat. And what I can say from experience is in my opinion, buffalo meat tastes much better than beef.
I agree. I know that my mother would be in one for her arthritis were it not for the fact that she is bull headed and pushes herself harder than most people would deem possible. From what I've heard, once you stop and sit down... You just don't get back up. If you have a problem that keeps you from walking, walking less will lower your muscle mass, making it less likely that your body has the capacity to compensate for your problem. Meaning that these people may not have even been fat in the first place. But if they physically just cannot force themselves to walk anymore... well a lack of exercise tends to lead towards weight gain.
See, I try to run on the same system. But usually it goes that I try a game off a demo or a friend's copy, and then buy it if I want to play it. Or I pirate the game to demo it.... And I just end up forgetting to buy it even if I like it. It's hard to make the jump back up from slightly dishonest to totally honest, but it's incredibly simple to make the jump from slightly dishonest to full out dishonest.
I agree with you here. In fact I see this as an admission that game companies rely on some people buying their games without knowing that they will not enjoy the game experience. If a game demo allows you to determine that, then in theory the perfect game that everyone would want to play would be stupid not to have a game demo, and a horrible game that no one would enjoy would be smarter to avoid it so that at least a few people buy it before they realize it is terrible. So what this really says to me is "Don't bother with a game that isn't confident enough about its gameplay to release some sort of demo".
I disagree. There is a lot more variety when married than to compare it to the exact same candy. It's more like rooting yourself to one brand of candy. You get all the variation that you can find within that brand. And yes, I already hear the obligatory "But how can you know that a brand of candy isn't total crap unless you taste it first?". As much as that theoretically is a problem, I think you'll find that if you know and understand the owners of the company, then you can attest to quality, and more importantly the dedication to improved quality, without even touching the candy. Personally, I made sure I had myself a Godiva before I took things anywhere.
When I see someone say "That's not true." and nothing else, I almost exclusively interpret that as an empty post. If you know for a fact that that isn't true, then please, be more informative. Tell us what IS true. Or at least how you know that that is not true.
But texting? My goodness, talk about over-engineering a problem! Why go through all that when you can just use an indicator light?
Hmmm... I think I have a new electronics project. As a new father, an easy way to see if a diaper is wet would be very handy. Just slip the sensor in and clip the light somewhere.
You can receive notification from anywhere, even if you're not in the room. I don't know where you plan on putting this light, is there a wire running from it? It could get broken more easily.
I think the point is that the SMS is more convenient and robust. Or at least that's my take.
Or maybe he was browsing straight porn and accidentally opened one site for gay porn, which popped up a box asking you to install their movie player, and happened to press space or enter right as the window popped open and stole focus. Even if he had to do more to complete the process, I know plenty of people that use computers that when they see a random window will just agree to anything it says to get it to go away. Not a smart choice, but it's just a thought.
I inhaled a window once... It wasn't a pretty picture.

No, it's more like saying "I like the yummy goodness of candy bars, but I don't like getting fat, but I am clever so I use stealth to eat them without getting fat."
That clever stealth is, by any other name, bulimia.
So the target goal is precisely 4,000,099? Because if not, I think you used too many sig figs. Also, is 4 million really a good indicator of cost for such a mission? Seems a little low to me honestly. Then again, I don't know diddly squat about space travel costs. Of course, I may just be looking far too deep into a silly comment...
The wikipedia page says it would only be propelled by the wind. If the wind only blows one way, it might travel straight to the shoreline and get stuck there.
I mean, I'm no expert on sailing or physics or Titan, and I didn't RTFA... But we have sail boats on earth, and last time I checked... they can steer. Like a lot. And it doesn't require a change in wind direction.
It kind of defeats the purpose of a "Role-Playing" game. I think They should also make it so that to play as a rogue, you must have a criminal record for having stolen something, and to play a warrior you must have a record of having killed someone. Oh yeah and to be a wizard you must have a record of having broken the laws of physics.

It looks as though you already have a head start on that.

Jesus H., it's a NON-POWERED treadmill. There's nothing stopping them from standing still or even laying down.
To quote TFA:
Cows are locked into a pen on top of a non-powered, inclined belt.
Emphasis mine. If the belt is inclined, they're going to have to walk or fall off.
Do I smell a Matrix-Kung Pow crossover?

The water will not boil off, but will instead simply evaporate.
Personally, I think it will neither boil off, nor evaporate. I predict it will turn into a gas.
I realise I'm not either, call it irony.
it's irony. There, are you happy now?

How dare you insult the Order of The Ginaty Beardy Sky Faerie?
On the bright side, the exercise business takes off, and thousands of people gain new jobs in 24 hour gyms to cater to all those late night ex-gamers.
