I wish there was a vaccine when I got it at the age of 12. I've still got the scars from it. I spent 2 weeks at home, no contact with the outside world. I was violently ill for 3-4 days on top of it. My sister who is 2 years younger was roughly in the same state. Now as I get older I get to experience the "glorious" side effect known as shingles.
Bullshit. Democrats are crap, but when it comes to ruling for the interest of moneyed interests there's no comparison.
You're right bullshit. Wanna go look at who the biggest recivers of money from media, pharmaceuticals, and wall street is? Give ya a hint, it's not the republicans.
Seriously, if I can find this shit and I don't even live in the US I guess it's easier to say "fucking partisan hack."
Odd, I seem to remember Nvidia throwing a rather large hissy fit over the whole physx thing. When AMD brought out mantle, and a competing open physics package. And Nvidia went as far as to add timebombs and reverse the gravity of physx if you had a nvidia and amd card in the same machine.
There is a subculture that excuses all that men do because "boys will be boys" and because "the girls must have been asking for it." This manifests itself in small towns where the star football player can rape a girl and she's driven out of town for daring to file charges. Or in conventions where women are groped because some jerk thinks the woman's costume is "skimpy" - thus that somehow equals permission to grab her body - and the rest of the convention goers either keep quiet or agree that the woman shouldn't have worn such a revealing outfit if she didn't want to be touched.
That's not a subculture, that's a morality problem. Perhaps a psychological problem, but it's sure not a subculture.
Long as it's optional, that's fine in my book. Really adblockers could probably make better inroads if they could allow optional blocking by default for advertisers that people wanted. This of course would let people support websites they want, and block the crap that could give them malware.
Isn't that kinda the problem? He's trying to by an ubisoft game through ubisoft's digital distribution method, and it's (apparently) not exactly user friendly.
Why would you want to? That's the great thing about PC gaming, you're not limited to buying at *their* store, you can buy your keys from a dozen plus competitors and find the best deal for you. So you're also not locked into the same price everywhere. The new wolfenstin has been out what? A week, and you can get a game key for $21 on G2A. It's still $59 on steam, origin, etc.
Sadly, these days - the only way to buy new release Ubisoft products (if you want to at all, that is) is to buy the console versions of the products.
Sound genius! Then you can turn around and spend extra money for PS+/Live so you can do things like multiplayer, watching netflix, while getting hammed with ad laden crap.
Yeah...I was going to say Uplay is down? Really? How odd that I'm logged in at the moment, I was earlier, and I was during peak last night when the game went live. Damn I must not have really been playing anno 2070 or watch dogs today, it was all a glorious figment of my imagination.
Yeah...uh, by the time I closed the annoying pop-ups and stopped the auto-playing video commercial that was loaded, I decided NOT to read the article. Chew on that reality.
That's nice. After all, what does it take to pause something, and close a popup these days? 8 seconds, 10 seconds? Apparently that's too much effort. Why are you using the internet without an adblocker anyway? Besides pure laziness.
King Canute used the tide as an example of something he couldn't stop. Similarly illegal imigrants are so much of a part of the US economy that there is not seen to be a hope or point in stopping them, hence the "pat on the head, and basically gloat in the face of the rule of law".
Oh please. The only people making an excuse that immigrants are a "part of the economy" are people who don't want to enforce the law. I remember here in Ontario when they changed the law to allow crop pickers in, and basically forced out everyone who'd been doing it for years. Now we've got a temporary foreign workers(TFW) program, and people have had enough.
If Canada's population can figure it out and pressure politicians, can't figure out why Americans can't.
What's funny is I had a green card when I was doing some work in the US back 12-15 years ago, and considered seriously becoming a US citizen(from Canada). What burns my ass, is that if I follow the rules I could be waiting upwards of a decade. While people who enter illegally can skip the entire process, get a pat on the head, and basically gloat in the face of the rule of law. What the purpose of even having the rule of law, if no one is going to enforce it? And at the very worst, actively work against it because of their ideology--instead of "doing it the correct way."
That's nice, now go read the article and what will you see? Oh that's right, an actual ICE report(including metrics) that lists what they've been doing. That was later picked up by some other news services, damn that reality check.
Yes and no, he started the project. Got pissed off with what MS wanted to do with it, and someone else finished it. There's some alpha footage showing that the game being much more open world ala the X series.
So you support government subsidies to oil companies that make quarterly NET profits in the billions of dollars rage. Nice one Zippy.
So you support paying FiT programs, that pay green energy producers, to not produce electricity, and on top of that you support paying them at 1000% the cost compared to other energy sources. Nice one, perhaps you should stop sucking on all the propaganda.
If you want expensive energy nuclear is the way to go.
Really? Let's look at the numbers from my own province where ~70% of our power is done by nuclear.
~1.3c/KwH - Hydro-electric ~2.3c/KwH - Nuclear ~3.2c/KwH - NG ~4.4c/KwH - Coal ~68.8c/KwH - Wind ~72.1c/KwH - Solar
Perhaps we should stop selling cheap electricity to you americans, and you can get a taste of what expensive electricity is really like. After all, we sell it to you at a bulk rate of 4.4c/KwH right now.
I loved playing Descent. We had our first LAN party back in the day with that game.
Volition has long said that if they got the rights for it, they'd make new Freespace and Descent games. They still don't have the rights to it, so no new games. I believe the phrase that Volition used was "they'd kill to make them."
He's saying that "cheap energy" is a delusion - one fostered with temporary geological realities and utter lack of regard for any externalities - and that the sooner you snap out of that delusion, the better for everyone involved.
Sorry, cheap energy is not a delusion. It's one that's easily creatable, as long as massive red tape and nimby's aren't involved. The sooner you snap out of your own delusion that expensive energy is "good" the better humanity will be. Then again, the same people who support expensive energy also usually line up stating that expensive food is a good thing.
Plain and simple: Human misery does not create a peaceful and stable world.
So we can store the Radio Active Waste in your backyard?
Not my problem that American's haven't figured out how to recycle radioactive waste. We have in Canada, and as a useful tip I live 62mi from the 2nd largest nuclear power generating station in the world.
So you're saying that you support expensive energy, and further with that creating misery for those who can't afford cheap energy? If Obama was really looking towards the future he'd be open arms on nuke plants, but he isn't.

It's a shitty article created for click baiting, nothing more, nothing less. "Personal experience" is relative.

Really? It seems to be blocking google served ads just fine on chromium for me.

Or Greenmangaming, or G2A, or CDkeys? The guy isn't exactly the smartest tool in the shed.

Pretty much. I'm sure people are going to froth at the mouth and all the rest until you post stories like this.
