Google is using Akamai's DNS service now. So they are in a customer/supplier relationship... however I doubt that's enough of a reason for them to buy Akamai.
I seriously doubt that the meter requires it to be able to connect in order to function. If I had to guess I would assume that it continues to run normally until it can connect (when you and your jamming device leave) and then it transfers any information it needed to. If there were a parking card that is inserted into these meters I would also guess that after a while they would figure out you were jamming the meters by simply correlating transmission outages to the id of the card used during the outage times.
I used to think the same thing when I would hear that prices were up. I've stopped by the music sections of stores the last few times I've been in them (big chain type places). Surprisingly prices had gone up from the usual $12.99-14.99 I was used to and were around $15.99-19.99.
Re:Great examples as to why they SHOULD NOT use CS

CSS for the LDP?

Wait, these are examples of how powerful CSS can be. That sorta implies you need to use a non broken browser to view them properly. I totally agree that going bleeding edge for something important like documentation goes against the kiss principle, but you are making it sound like CSS is a bad thing. Really, the reason you can't view those pages correctly is you are using a browser that is known to render CSS poorly.
It's still a leveling treadmill IMO, they have shifted the xp rewards from killing lots of beasties to finishing lots of quests. Kinda reminds me of AO where you would do as many "missions" as possible. The major differance being that the quests tie into the story line and culture of your racial or character class. This being a focus is a diversion from many other games where you are either treadmilling by killing the critters cyclicly for xp, or are doing quests that only loosly relate to your character or the games story line. The first Asherons Call handled the quest issue fairly well as 90% of the quests you do are tied to the montly story line and those contributed to the major story arcs more than half the time. You still get stuck on the killing the same critters over and over path if you really want to advance though. That's a questing for items system where WoW is more of a questing for everything system. So far after putting in about 60 hours into WoW I don't think that it's any more or less enjoyable than any other MMOG, it's just polished. I hate doing hundreds of quests that don't mean much to my character as much as I hate killing hundreds of critters repeatedly.
I'm with you, I don't leave bodies behind. I can't count how many times I've seen other people leave behind corpses though. Especially in the 80+ Matron Hive.
Well, between master robes, portal gems, thorstens armor and some of the high value loot that drops these days DI's are relatively easy to come by. With the large amount of gold items that drop and tinking you can easily amass quite a number of DI's. So the penalty is significantly reduced.
Most games do have penalties for being in a place you shouldn't be.
Lets take Turibines Asheron's Call. Part of the story line talks about lifestones created by Asheron to protect the Isparians in Dereth from dying, however there is a cost for dieing. If you die at any level you recieve 5% vitae penalty and drop X number items on your corpse. The vitae penalty is a temporary reduction in your stats that goes away as you earn more experience points (XP). The amount of XP you need to reduce your vitae by one point is a percentage based on your current level. The number of items you drop is also based primarily on your current level. Now, the noob areas have giant floating markers as a boundry that basically tell you if you go past this your chance of death increases. Which is great as far as monsters go because it's a clear warning. If you go past this place and die you might not be able to get back to your corpse and recover your items. So there is definite risk involved in going to those areas. Now, at higher levels most people carry enough high value junk items as death items. These items are almost 100% gauranteed to drop before anything you care about. This reduces the risk of dying significantly, but there is still some risk. If you don't recover those items you have to get new death items, this could be expensive or time consuming. Especially if you spent a lot of time getting very high valued death items to cover your equipment that is also very expensive. A second or third death could start costing you items. There are/were also some items which would always drop on death (Aerfalls Pallium comes to mind). I should also mention that when you are returned to a lifestone you are temporarily protected from harm. This is in part because some lifestones have monsters spawned on them, and also due to a dynamic on the full time PvP server.
Now, this is a decent system, and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it. Of course this is the dynamic on the carebear or non PvP servers. On the PvP server (Darktide) there are no protections from other players. If you are sufficient level to own a house you have a safe zone. Other than that you are safe only briefly right after dieing. Initially there was no lifestone protection and it was extremely common for some players to camp the lifestones and repeatedly slay people. Not exactly fun for the person on the recieving end of this dynamic. To keep the game realistic you can't really restrict areas of the game world based on level. With dungeons that is easy, and is done all the time, but in the game world outside the dungeons invisible barriers that ristricte based on level would be hard to explain in the games lore. It also prevents interaction between high and low level characters, and in the case of games like AC, it would prevent the creation of large monarchies and reduce the already minimal value of a Patron/Vassal relationship.
The biggest problem with perma death is that most players like to see that they are getting something for thier money. A lot of people don't like spending twenty or thirty hours a month leveling a character and learning the game system only to die one day because the devs changed the rules or the content change in an unexpected way. There have been numerous times in every MMOG I've played where the newest game additions have changed the dynamic in some way that made it harder either for the entire player base or, more often just for specific classes. Then those classes die more often as they readjust to the new dynamic or patiently (hah, right) wait for the devs to fix whatever they broke. With perma death you are going to see people losing interest if they achieve high levels and then one day loose everything. Why bother going through all of that again? You already know what the game is like at the low levels, it will take you a similar amount of time to get back to where you were so you can advance again. What is the motivation to continue playing at that point? There isn't much in my opinion.
Uhm, that would be a terrible wireless connection. I'm on a fixed wirless connection right now and it's at about 4ms from my ap to my ISP's AP which is roughly eight miles away. So while some wireless connections may have terrible latency that's going to be dependant on the conditions. It very well may be the same for BPL depending on the quality of the power lines, or the distance from the power station etc.
It's caloric intake exceeding caloric expenditure that makes people fat. Playing video games tends to reduce caloric expenditure, while people don't tend to reduce the amount they eat, so yes, playing video games can make you fat.
No, playing video games can't make you fat. Failing to expend calories in equilibreum with your coloric intake makes you fat. As you noted. Yes, playing video games can reduce your caloric expenditure, but so can reading a book, etc. Playing video games doesn't make you fat, failing to excercise enough to counter your eating habits makes you fat.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they are perfect I'm just saying that some of the things hosted there that people are complaining about aren't ev1's problem. If there is some moral reason the sites shouldn't exist that should be taken up with the site owner not ev1.
Thier principles are that they don't care what you do with your server for the most part. They are more of a common carrier than anything else, and if they did block adult webmasters or hamas members they would simply be impinging on someones free speech. The only time they appear to cut off accounts is when the AUP is broken, the bill isn't paid, or law enforcment asks them to hand over a box that may have been used in a crime. This seems perfectly reasonable to me. Just like the telephone company providing phone service. They provide it for homes, businesses etc without discrimination based on the type of business.
The funny thing about this is that we were already in the process of moving away from ev1. Now I'm doubly glad that we are. I don't like my money supporting that kind of stupidity.
I would have to agree with you. After having used the Aeron for well over a year I didn't really think it was anything special. I do however love the Human Scale Freedom chair I've been using for the last two years. Other than needing to replace the vinyl arm rests for some cloth ones it has remained in excellent condition and is the most comfortable chair I've ever used.
There's a huge differance between taking a new job that is differant from what you are used to and being forced to change by new managment. Not only that, but they aren't sure they are going to have admin privileges on thier own boxes and they are supposed to be Net/Sys Admins? I'd leave, I'm not even sure I'd give em two weeks with that kinda of brain dead mentality.
He was fighting with his daughter and he was not detained or charged with either drunk driving or public intoxication which would/should have happened had he been drunk. The parent just threw that in to make thier point look better.
yeah, the original MS Naturals (which I have one left after all these years) has a long bar that goes across the bottom front and lifts the keyboard if you want. It is the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used. I also think it was really stable do to the size of the lifting pieces which is also nice.
Yeah, the sharp angle of the cool pad they show in most of the pictures would have my wirsts hurting in just a few minutes also, the other method makes it so that I would actually consider getting one since that is my only real problem with using a laptop.
