Yeah there's really no such thing as humidity out in Alberta. Though in Southern Ontario? Today it's 36C, and the humidity is 45% making the humidex 45C. And that's not even the warmest it's been here, back in '88 the temperature hit 42C with the humidex hitting 57C. That was terrible, kinda like being in a really hot shower. Where you're breathing in all that misty hot water and doing nothing but choking. But cold in Alberta and it's not bad. It's just cold, and you don't feel it. Even when it's -30C. But you add in that humidity from the lakes, and -20C bites you to the core. Humidity is what gets you every time.
But really, for those with out AC, or anything. The only real option is fan's. If you've got no power, there's not much you can do. Sleeping outside in a mosquito tent is an option though, we used to do it here when we lost power. Especially a bit further up north were power outages could be common in the summer, especially in forest fire season. And where the black flies carry away dogs and cats, and mosquito's and drink a person dry. Stay hydrated, stay in the shade. Don't drink beer, don't drink things with caffine, the obvious things that make you waste fluids.
OnStar really isn't highend, it's standard on all GM cars. A lot of dealerships will install a compatible unit if you ask them for it too. Hell you can go down to your local Bestbuy(yeah I know) and buy the stand alone unit for your car actually. They sell it aftermarket for $299, though, it's now apparently $99 and then it's $18.95/mo for the service or $199/yr.
Ultimately, it's because of two things: 1. consoles have exclusive games, and 2. the majority of non-geek users have a misconception that a PC cannot be used with a TV monitor.
The first one is pretty much bunk. Developers have been shifting heavily back to the PC the last two years. The second is more because they simply don't know, but that's because idiots in the stores telling them don't know. Then again, most video cards that have been in the "already built" PC's haven't had HDMI out until the last couple of years. Heck I've actually seen a low-midrange box that still had vga out in the last year.
Hah that's about right. The traditional PC isn't going to be going anywhere, at least not until quantum computing becomes the norm, or wetware exists. Until then there will always be a need for some type of box that's connected with low latency, and always available power, with plenty of processing and graphics power.
And with the rumored consoles coming out, and them being as bad in terms of graphics as the previous generation, I can't see why people would keep buying them.
When you get right down to it, the best would be to just go play golf and not screw up what was working before you arrived in an effort to leave your mark.
Is running two paid for copies at the same time so you can hand items from one to the other cheating?
Nope. I run a 4 mule setup, and it's where I'm making my RMAH money.
Is overlaying a latency counter cheating?
Can't answer that, post a question on the tech or general forums chances are no.
Is identifying a profitable run and grinding it repeatedly cheating?
Nope, I do it all the time. Gold is for all things worthless, and always has been. Just a tip.
Is using advanced macros cheating?
Nope, but using advanced macros where they play for you is.
Another problem is that Blizzard absolutely refuse to say just what they've found that's against the rules, only that they found something against the rules. Users get support replies like this:
No they're pretty clear on what's against the rules, it just requires a bit of common sense. If you're using something to play for you, that's against the rules. If you're using software the does the work for you with no user input that's against the rules. What they're trying to avoid by using that type of language is make it easier for people who don't cheat, to cheat. I realize that it's convoluted, but anyone who's on a site like/. should be able to put 1+1 together along with a simple string macro, and figure it out.
They've been doing this and exactly this since WoW. And I've been using "advanced macros" since then on my programmable mouse and keyboard and have yet to be banned.

Big thing up here in Canada 10-12 years ago and in the NE-US about 30 years ago, they started planting Japanese Lilacs, those things are invasive too. I'm still trying to get the city to remove the 4000 of the ones they planted around the city here back about 5 years ago. Frickin' idiots.
That problem of course is, does it stop the body from attacking the pancreas again? That's really the big problem, same reason why islet transplants while successful have a 70% failure rate after 10 years. The body continues to attack, and in rare cases will destroy implanted islets within a year.
I'm guessing you're talking about population? I was up in Northern Ontario back during the last major ice storm we had. That hit the area, along with southern and mid-northern Quebec. There were places without power 4 months later. In the dead of winter, let me know how well you're going to survive when it's -38C outside will ya? 7 days is bad, no doubt and I know what you're going through, but try 3 months with no power.
Damn was it fucking cold. We ended up living with 4 other families in the asshole of nowhere, getting food dropped off by the army along with a ration of fuel oil to run the generator.
We are entering a darker age, it's not pretty either. Though, one has to question the legality of this. Someone skip their due process classes in law along the way?
Haha. Locking up is the worst beta experience you've ever had? There was a bug I had in a game that I was beta testing which shall remain nameless. On uninstalling, the uninstaller would nuke the entire Program Files tree. Locking up apps is, painful, and recoverable, this required an entire windows reinstall.
Wrong. So very wrong. The contract that you sign with most ISP's will specifically disallow you from running pop/smtp/telnet/irc/http/socks/proxy, etc, etc,etc, and so on. Or even DNS. It's very rare to even find a ISP that will allow it these days. Simply because the average person doesn't know how to secure a server from attacks, and in turn it becomes a liability.
Oh lots of people probably would still run their own, even on their home internet connections if they could. Unfortunately, most ISP's no longer allow people to run servers.
Damn if this isn't true. I ended up getting shoved in the face with a Samsung Galaxy Q for work last week. Nice phone, I hit two websites and the phone had already picked up a virus via flash. I won't be sad to see it go, though I'll be interested to see what the alternative is. Maybe html5lite or something stupid like that.
Well if you work for Cisco Linksys you might want to tell some your lawyers(or drop a strong hint to the middle-management types) to look at this, and quickly before it becomes a major headache. Whoever greenlighted this just violated the privacy act in Canada by automatically tracking web history and pushing this update. I'd hazard a guess in various parts of the EU as well.
Keep telling yourself that. Living in Canada, where we get taxed for healthcare every time you buy something, everyone gets "taxed" oh did I mention that I already have health insurance? Which covers my drugs, medical, dental, vision, and hearing? Yeah...just keep dreaming.
Bingo. I just started a new IT job in a rather remote shithole in the middle of nowhere, with only around 40 machines. They wanted to roll out RT devices, once I explained to them how much money this was going to cost them. Especially for a small municipality(9k people) they decided that this would be a very bad idea.
Want the truth? Most of them, that's how you catch the majority of them, and I'm not talking about closure rates. I'm talking about the plain old dumb criminals that simply hand you everything they know right off the bat. Most criminals are dumb, it doesn't take much in the way of brains to be one. It's being crafty and sly that makes a good criminal.
There is no democracy in the EU. It's what a group of select "leaders" tell you what you can have, it's just a soft dictatorship controlling regional territories.
Hey there kid. I live in this place called Canada. I've seen entire new rivers become a reality in a year, and entire rivers go away. And new lakes form overnight. Get some new talking points indeed. Drastic changes indeed. Oh I'm guessing that's global warming too? Oh no...wait, that's seasonal melt, or...
Wait? What? You mean in the US you're not required to carry your greencard with you at all times if you're there? I'm pretty damn sure you are among other things. And if you're on a visa, you're required to have your visa on you at all times too.
Time to wake up. There's very few countries where this isn't required to and from. So, I take it you're against enforcing the law. I mean it's not like you don't have a huge problem with them or anything, or that they're not used as drug mules, or that they've turned large portions of your national forests in arizona, and texas into no-mans-land full of man-traps, and will kill anyone they see either. Give your head a shake.

Yeah pretty much. Depending on where you live, most places have right-of-way 30ft from the centre of the roadway.

What they didn't tell you is that you're using a lot of coal based power. I know, the truth hurts.

Actually, ISP don't allow nor disallow it.

Keep telling yourself that. You will, after all, the tax that isn't a tax, is really just a tax.
I have health insurance. It is not a tax on me
Keep telling yourself that. Living in Canada, where we get taxed for healthcare every time you buy something, everyone gets "taxed" oh did I mention that I already have health insurance? Which covers my drugs, medical, dental, vision, and hearing? Yeah...just keep dreaming.

how dumb are the criminals that fall for this?
