How can you tell the difference?
Was it obviously a bug?
The only way I could think this would be the case is if they bought/sold from the same vendor...
Otherwise I personally would have thought it was intentional on the developers' parts.
Players got banned for buying low and selling high?
I'm glad I didn't get that game, because I probably would have been banned too.
There are a few RPGs where you can buy things in one town and sell them in another for higher, and I've always abused that to make gold.
Part of me wants to yell "Sue those fuckers for the lost time!"
But i know the money is just going to come out of our pockets while the DOJ members sit happily sipping their overly expensive tea.
Government officials have no consequences, and that really needs to end.
Is it the most abused word? Probably not.
But is it an abused word? Yes.
Every single big company claims they do it, but the closest thing we have to such is Apple stealing ideas from companies A and B and putting them together with rounded corners.
I don't know about you, but if I was a small business owner in Malaysia, the first thing I do would be shut down any internet service such as free wifi.
So businesses that revolves around the net, such as cyber cafes, better install a damn good filter or anonymizer or some such.
If the government grew a pair and stood up to AT&T et al, and I was paying a reasonable price for internet and we got a speed more in line with the rest of the god damned world, then yes, I'd be more than willing to pay a tax.
But as it is now? Hell no.
A computer is as good as it's weakest point.
If you have a super graphics card but a processor that can't keep up, your game is going to suck.
If you have a hard drive that can't read and write game files fast enough, it's going to suck.
If you're hitting your memory ceiling, it's going to suck.
This is something even the biggest of idiots like myself know, why the hell is this on a "news for nerds" site?
And it works quite well, if only we'd adopt this as well.
Kind of reminds me how my parents used to react whenever me and my brother couldn't learn to share something.
A better way to garner likes/follows is to offer something for it.
"Chance to win a free (item of desire), just retweet this and follow!"
"Receive free in-game armor for liking our game!"
or the one I actually make a fake facebook account to do on my defensive driving course...
"Like this service on Facebook and get the audio tracks for free!"
I think anyone who says one way other the other with 100% certainty is full of shit.
I don't think there's enough data to say it's not natural, but I also don't think there's enough to say it's not our fault either.

"I can't help them as easily over the phone, it's much easier to physically be on location with the customer and talk face to face."
Unless you're doing it for free, learn to deal with it, you're getting paid to do such.
I've yet to have apps crash on me personally, which is odd because i usually have horrid luck.
I almost always deny apps internet access, because fuck, a flashlight app doesn't need to connect to the internet.
It just needs to be a damn flashlight.

Seriously, you give an infant a toy, they're not going to listen to how you tell them to play with it.
How deep into Google did you have to dig to find someone that likes that trashy artwork?

...I'm not really sure why it decided to throw a link in there. I just typed the word "seeing".
According to a comment I read yesterday, while Apple won in the US, they lost in the Netherlands, the UK, and Korea.
So apple is 1/4, why would HTC give up after http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/08/29/1230232/in-wake-of-samsung-verdict-htc-does-not-intend-to-settle#seeing a single loss when Apple didn't give up after 3?

You mean when you artificially jack up prices, people will try to find a way around it?
I'm shocked.
...one of the jurors will have read it.
Pics or GTFO.
Oh wait, never mind, I got caught up on that first bit. IGNORE ME.
Tape measures are expensive
Bullshit.
While body measuring systems aren't new, using the Xbox Kinect is a much more affordable solution.
I wasn't aware a tape measure was that expensive.

The main thing is just to look at the statistics and see that the change is too large to be natural
Don't underestimate nature, it has a habit of killing those that do.
