Well, it depends on who do you consider their customers are... I think that Yahoo and Google provide a service to the public, but their true customers (the ones paying for the services) are the advertisers...
Yeah, the fall is only 1D6 damage, but the couple of tons of steel and burning fuel falling on top of you shortly after could be probably modeled like this:
Crashing Home-made Helicopter: CR 10; mechanical; location trigger; no reset; Atk +16 melee (8D6+8, bludgeoning); burning fuel (equivalent to an incendiary cloud spell, 15th-level wizard, 4D6/round for 15 rounds, DC 22 Reflex save half damage); Search DC 20; Disable Device DC 25. Market Price: unknown (unique).
If you're going to measure distance between games, wouldn't it make more sense to measure from 3 instead? We could measure from the first and then it looks even longer, but it wouldn't really reflect how long the series has actually lain dormant.
Of course, it's still been a decade since 3... Thats because no one remembers Street Fighter 3 (not fondly, at least)
You can rename a file while it's open. You can move a file while it's open. (Mac programs track it accurately, stuff like jEdit doesn't). You can rename a program while it's running. Damn! those feature alone make me despair of Windows... I frequently share document drafts with a friend and I have to close the file before I can send it by MSN.
They are NOT outsourcing to skilled offshore workers. Case in point, American operators require 2 years of experience plus degree, or four years experience plus. The Brazillion operators they are offshoring to (starting with the Nissan account, loved that project), the ONLY requirement they had: Speaking English. I say bullshit.
I have never worked for IBM but I have worked at callcenters that were opened here in Mexico as outsourcing operations and the requirements for a job are usually as stringent here as in the US, and the fact is that finding someone qualified for a job (and that is bilingual to boot) is just as hard than in the US.
The thing is, that when you do find one you'll be able to hire him for less money and the whole has less turnover rates (and therefore reduced training costs) than a comparable callcenter in the US.
Lots of people (at least here in the semi-third world) commonly buy computers from small local stores... Many times these are generic beige boxes with the store logo (or worse, an Acer/HP/Gateway) logo pasted on them.
These computers are almost always sold "with Windows XP preinstalled", which is obviously pirated. Some will even sell you a windows license separately if requested.
I assure you lots of people don't know they are pirates... they will even show you the invoices for their store-bought computers.

Well, maybe after the lawsuits over we can go back to the can as an icon...
Thanks for the info, it speaks volumes

So yeah, their customers clamored for more ads.
Has anyone tried to open these "Ad-enabled" .pdf's in KPDF (or any other free viewer)?
If the ads show there too, I am pretty sure there can be a way to disable them
Thank you for your candid, informative comment.
(MOD THIS UP!)
And you need to work on your reading comprehension, by "butchered cock" he meant the cheesegrater thing, not the sedative needle.
But its ok, it happens to the best of us.

It is usually too hard to take all of Asia... just holding Afghanistan is more trouble than its worth...
I suggest starting your bid for global power from Madagascar or Argentina instead.

Here is your missing airline luggage.
Glad to be of service.

There are hurricanes in the Pacific every year, and at least one or two hit the Mexican Pacific coast with some degrees of strength...
In theory you could steer a hurricane to hit Alta California instead of Baja California.
Also, lets not forget about hurricanes in Asia: Typhoons.

Indeed, all the vocal sounds in Japanese are the same as in Spanish.
Likewise, a japanese friend of mine tells me that it is way easier for him to speak Spanish than English.

But you are going to have the same problem, in varying degrees, using different versions of Word on different computers or platforms.
Wow, a "1. 2. 3. Profit!" meme that is actually complete!

Exactly, this seems hardly worth the hassle of robbing the stuff...
He should instead ask Spielberg for a cameo appearance or something, not that he will avoid doing some jail time.
