Lucas of all people should know that's not going to help anything. Any jedi worth his salt can simply will an exact copy of the movie onto his hard drive.
Time, being relative, didn't really begin until something experienced it.
That being said. scientists guess about the effects of time on things which couldn't report on that experience themselves, so for them time effectively began when there was nothing around which still exists in the universe today.
1. casting multiple spells/performing multiple combat skills all with the press of a single button is botting.
No, that's macroing. Botting is automatically triggering macros based on feedback from the game (current health, etc).
2. The rules exists for a reason, and he broke them.
The reason being, lack of good design. You have to start at skill level 0 with each weapon you use, and grind for ages before it becomes even vaguely useful. Why? (For example) If I wrote using crayons for years, and I made the switch to pens, I wouldn't suddenly lose the ability to write coherent words on paper. A level 60 should be able to do sufficient (though less than optimal) damage even with no experience with a weapon. Then there's less temptation to spend hours not paying attention to the game.
3. If you have enough time to grind like this, power to you. I'm cancelling my account due to this, and Blizzard's constant increasing the amount of grinding needed to accomplish anything (in order to placate the high level characters who aldready did the grinding when it was easier for them)
Obviously the rush is that we need a better overseas broadband connection. If it takes 48 hours for me to download a dvdrip hosted in Tokyo, then it will be way more convenient for me to get someone in Tokyo to put the DVD on one of these jets.
The record companies are using sound logic, they've just taken it a step too far here. Should google pay everytime someone searches for 'Madonna' regardless of what they're looking for? No. If it were a directory of _only_ music videos, then perhaps yes.
Why? If the recording industry can make money from the people who are profiting off the content they've gone to great lengths to publicize, they may be able to afford to stop harassing individuals (not that they will).
Type the word 'movie' into Google for example. Now who do you think stands to make a lot of advertising money by indexing MPAA content? Should the movie industry run imdb into the ground? No. But should they be entitled to a cut of revenues if their investments are the only thing driving the traffic there and supporting revenue? Arguably yes. Especially if it makes them leave private individuals alone.
The only problem with this idea being that the label won't be able to afford the mind control (read: radio play/flashy commercial CD packaging) required to be taken seriously.
Remember mp3.com? All they were doing is allowing people to listen to their own music online from a repository of digital copies.
Maybe the authors will argue similarily that Google needs to own a copy of every book they index in order to legally retain a digital copy. It worked for the RIAA.
Where did these kids get access to a shotgun in the first place? In Canada, we have this mandatory course that teaches kids that "shooting things is generally a really bad idea unless you are going to eat them or they are inanimate objects without people nearby." Just my thoughts. But then we can't sue people at random either...so who cares.
Shh... Don't tell everyone! If MS doesn't do QA, and companies all wait for bugs to rear their nasty heads then the only people we have left to discover them are rednecks who can't describe their problem to tech support in any more detail than 'My computer is broken.'
I sold my PDA. People who first buy PDAs vow never to part with them. Soon you notice them sitting on the desk all the time next to the desktop computer.

But that still doesn't make much sense. It should have said, "Millions of King Crabs Turn Sea to International Hors-d'oeuvre Platter"
Welcome our new profit-driven corporate overlords.
Oops.
That's not a new development.
Nothing to see here.

Not only that, we've been using this in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan since October. Boo-urns to the poster's arbitrary use of the phrase 'major city'

From TFA: "It's not the wind speed we're simulating; it's the actual force the wind exerts on the building."
That's exactly what they're trying to do. Nowhere did anyone say "So, we're gonna point a big fan at a house in a tiny hangar and..."

I"ll give you $20 for it ^_^

Then take a screenshot and print that...
But under the dmca and now this a prosecutor can easily acquit me of a serious federal crime.
I believe the word you're looking for is 'convict.'
There is no selection pressure which favours tasting bad.
But you have more opportunity to procreate if you don't get eaten.
I suppose all creatures don't have to worry about being eaten to death so much.
