The stockholders voted his way because they know that there's millions of gullible people waiting to snap up the next *insert idevice* and are willing to pay money hand over fist to do it. And their environmental policies just happen to appeal to that particular demographic.
It *is* clickbait. 20-30 years ago, this wouldn't be remarked. Rather it would be a case of outliers in society trying to do something to make the world a better or worse place depending your views.
Sure, except you're skipping out on that one essential trace element that keeps you healthy by using sea salt. You know which one it is right? And there's a very good reason why you should use it, unless of course you can find iodized sea salt.
What's messed up is the article itself, especially in the belief that automakers will want to switch to this. Right now Cadillac and Lincoln cars have been using fibre in their cars for the 'drive-by-wire' system for years. As well as in parts of the HUD, and rear-display systems. Beleive you and me, they want to use this, because it's reallllly expensive it if gets toasted, and they have to replace part of the harness. This isn't really a job your layman can do, compared to say pulling and restringing an entire wiring harness inside the cab. That's something anyone with a bit of patience and weekend or two can do.
While there might be some "truth" to that story, it's sure not all be done here. You can bet that many companies who are full of overstock on materials to reclaim find it easier to rent a few dozen cargo containers and simply pack them full and file them over. And since we inspect under 1% of the outgoing and less than 3% of the incoming, you're just trusting that "commercial recyclable waste" isn't electronic components, but bulk metal, and so on. My time as a shipper/receiver for a company over a decade ago has long since left me that there's any truth or usefulness in the massive paperwork scheme that exists today.
Funny, I live in a country that uses "first past the post" and we seem to have it figured out just fine here. It's called Canada.
Madness of local councils? Oh you mean like the automated "do not trespass on public property" systems that went up in a few areas until there was a public backlash.
Oddly I have a fine idea of what I'm talking about, don't let your ignorance be your defining moment. I'm sure you also think that the oil sands in Alberta are nothing but a barren wasteland covered with the corpses of small dead animals, and looks like the surface of the moon. And it encompasses the majority of the province.
Nope. Those beetles are able to survive in these regions because of the lack of hard freezes to kill them back (global warming) and they're able to attack the trees because they have been weakened by drought (global warming, deforestation).
I keep hearing that the "lack of hard freezes" is what kills them back, how odd that it's still a problem in places like Alberta, where the temperature easily gets down to -30 to -50C, and they *still* survive. Seems that there's something wrong with the belief that cold kills them, and they're surviving anyway.
Seriously, what about the polar vortex don't you understand? Although the eastern USA had historic lows last month, the global average temperature was the hottest January on record.
Odd, it seemed like a normal localized cold snap that hits anywhere between Washington State, and as far south as Florida on a semi-regular basis. Hell, I remember being in Florida a few years back during a similar cold snap where they were spraying the citrus trees to stop crop damage. And of course, I didn't hear anything about this "polar vortex" when it was blanketing Europe and Russia a few years ago, and we had a luckily and remarkably mild winter for the first in 3 odd years. The winter before that, we had snow in places in Southern Ontario nearly 18' deep. And of course, if you jump back to the '20's and 30's you'll see that *was* the normal weather in this area.
Luckily, we've had a decade or two, or so, of more mild winters globally. That isn't a trend, seeing as how before that it was bitchingly cold, with winters right about on par with what we've had in the NE, central and western part of the country.
Plenty of us get it. Please remember that at no point did the general population of the UK ask for, support or condone this kind of behaviour, nor most of the other dubious things we've been hearing about lately that have supposedly been done in our name or for our protection.
Really? Seems that large segments of the population there voted for the madness in this case, and with that they also voted for the madness of their local councils to do crazy shit. And they've also been remarkably silent on well pretty much everything, but that's a big swath of your media helping on that. After all, if you support a euroseptic party, you're automatically a racist, bigot and a hate monger.
You know, much like how the media in the US paints anyone who's a member of the tea party in the same way. But how odd, if you travel to said gatherings/groups/meetings of said organizations you don't find any of that "racist, bigoted, hate monger" crap that they go on about.
You know, you should probably just give in and let the hate flow through you. The only thing missing in your post there AC, is openly saying "the jews did it."
ah, republicans, for whom trickery and outright lawbreaking is ok and the crying starts as soon as a judge gets involved.
Sorry there AC, did you miss the part where Obama has had several of his "agency" regulations thrown out as being unconstitutional. Or how about the more information that comes out on the IRS, the more it has his fingerprints all over it. Never mind that he'll never have a charge laid over it, he's black, and therefore above suspicion.
Funny how us foreigners can see this, but liberals and democrats can't.
You mean as a site where major game develops have and still do come by to post their opinions, comments, and ideas to the community? Where you can find people from every major game developer posting there? Or that we're some of the first folks to get a "heads up" on discounts from said developers because they value the discussions and talk there. We're good without a page for a reason, it keeps the trolls and anonymous cowards at bay.
Let me copy over most of my post(updated with more gameplay) from blues, and yeah if you don't know what bluesnews is, it's one of the first gaming review sites that existed. And we do have a stick up our asses over the quality and content of games.
So yeah guys, my first 3hrs of gameplay? Enjoying it quite a bit. It's more or less true to the game, and there's no shortage of lewts to grab but some of it's tricky. Only playing it on medium atm, do a true playthrough when I'm done the first run. Turning off contextual "help" and prompts makes it more challenging as well. Gameplay is fine, you don't have to use the new focus system if you don't want to. You can make the game even more challenging if you want.
To anyone who doesn't like the game? That's okay, I'm enjoying it. I'll get my $34 out of it without a doubt.
Oh and if you're looking for a x/10 rating? 3hrs in, I'd give it a solid 7.8-8.3/10 give or take. I don't mind the voice acting at all, and find the interaction so far decent.
First major map, the one that people were posting images about earlier? Not really holding true. I've so far found 4 alternate paths compared to the one taken in the video.
Oh and "non-exclusive fullscreen" listed as "exclusive fullscreen" works beautifully in win8.1x64 for alt-tabbing with zero issues, lag, slowdown/crashes or other issues. I'd be interested to hear if the same holds true in win7.
I've been playing it a bit tonight and your experience mirrors my own. I just don't see what all the bitching was about. I truly don't. These horrible glaring flaws people talked about in the reviews are orders of magnitude less dire than they led us to believe. They are barely worthy of mention. Maybe if I put more hours in I'll understand, but so far so good. It doesn't even really feel like a franchise reboot, IMHO. It's just another Thief game. You'd have to set it on easiest difficulty and run around being a psycho to not get the Thief experience, and that'd be your own fault.
Looking at some of the reviews again, I feel like most of the reviewers didn't understand the point of a Thief game and they were expecting something more flashy like a Deus Ex.
On the other end of the spectrum you have the die-hard Thief "fans" who have been swearing up and down that the game was going to suck for YEARS. These guys are so invested in their own opinion that they are psychologically incapable of enjoying the game.
If I put a few more hours into the game and everything goes to hell, I'll have to change my view on the game, but like I said, so far so good.
if a wedding photographer doesn't want to sell services for a gay wedding, who are YOU to force them?
Obviously the federal government. After all, you didn't build that business, the government did. So they can also tell you where, what, and how to sell said services.
What? You mean like all of his nice scandals? What are we upto these days 15? 20? And let's not forget all of that lovely "political protection" that he's been afforded by either stonewalling on the issues, or simply throwing people under the bus. While the media happily ignores it.
I'm glad however that you posted your actual feelings, after all. Who could be a critical thinker when they label someone of the opposite political party as "terrorist teabaggers." So, to run with it, I'll have to ask how much MSNBC or Soros funded media are you inhaling daily?
That Blackberry isn't dead right? I get the feeling we're going to see a lot more QNX automotive 'infotanment' systems in the near future, and BB moving from the saturated mobile market to the automarket. If they were ever good at something it was directly specializing to what was demanded of the customer, until they fsk it up.
As a point, it's not just US VA in the US but Canada, and Europe as well with piss poor psych departments. I've always wondered if the field draws up a special kind of asshole, especially from everything I've seen or heard second hand from friends who've been at their mercies.

There's an occupational heath and safety standard in China? I thought it was "if you survive a day on the job, you'll go far in this world."
The owners want to be green, so green it is.

Sorry you don't get moderated funny for that anymore. It's heresy against doctrine. It's the rack for you, now repent your sins in the name of AGW!
Ah liberals and democrats, when reality doesn't fit your way, throw a hissy fit. Facts, nasty things right.
bluesnews has its reputation for the reason.
You mean as a site where major game develops have and still do come by to post their opinions, comments, and ideas to the community?

Or that we're some of the first folks to get a "heads up" on discounts from said developers because they value the discussions and talk there.

Obama and major democrats are still stating that the "Innocence of Muslims" was the cause of the attack on Benghazi. Despite evidence to the contrary.

Despite all the cries of the NSA, the Brit agencies have taken 1984 almost to it's completion.
What if a white couple doesn't want to hire a black supremacist wedding photographer?
Ahh, that strawman, makes it easy when you take things out of context doesnt it.
Having seen the "context" before people tried "correcting it" I'd say that my outsiders view of what Obama said, would be correct.
