Well, somebody profits in your third point, the pirate, because he has gained: Either $60 in his pocket that he would have otherwise spent on a game, or a free game that he would have not otherwise been able to afford.
Seems to me some people on Slashdot believe that the latter situation is acceptable.
Crows don't give a damn about a farmer in overalls carrying a pitchfork. But a hunter in full camo with a shotgun? They're GONE, and they tell all their buddies to hightail it out too. When they're feeding, they'll put up 2 or 3 sentries in trees to call out when danger is nearby.
I haven't however, tried to dress up like a farmer with a pitchfork-shotgun and try to fool them yet.
If your mechanic said your axle was broken and you refused to fix it, in PA, he would refuse to give you an inspection sticker - thus telling everyone in the public that you're too much of a tool to fix your broken stuff. Same principal.
I like ours, too. If you have one of their shopper's club cards, it remembers you and doesn't try and tell you what to do. They don't even say thank you to me any more, they just beep!
Wait, you just said they don't exist yet! Re-read your own comment. Sure, I can get a CableCARD, but no VOD or any other two-way services.
Besides, go to Comcast's website and try to find a CableCARD and the fee. You won't. And why should I have to pay the damn fee anyway? Why can't I just give them a serial number off the back of the damn thing after I bought it at WalMart?!
I'm no NASCAR fan either, and I certainly didn't mean to say that driving doesn't require intense physical effort! I do a little autocross (with a stock Jetta), and that'll wrack your nerves after 20 minutes quite readily.
Then again, so will 20 minutes on I-495 around Washington, DC.:P
I'm no doctor either, I'm working on a degree in human services that I plan to finish up with a law degree and go into family law.
TV programming CAN have the effect of amplifying ADHD symptoms. Every two minutes, stop paying attention to the tube because a commercial is on, dump paint on little brother, return to watching TV, ad nauseum.
But the truth is, you the parent control the television you bought and paid for, not the kid, and if your child understands it like that you can make sure the television is NOT the center of his or her life.
Are you serious? I get that many odd emails in a half day period at my job related to network connectivity issues, and i'm a LEASING CONSULTANT for a housing complex. Man up,/., and fix your fucking CSS themes.
Given the alternative (Sitting in a playpen with much LESS stimulation), sitting a kid in front of the TV (where they hear music, language, however low quality it may be) is actually better from a developmental standpoint!
Technological competition wouldnt be watched as sport?
You DO know that they take internal combustion engines, attach them to wheels, and call the winner the engine with the best performance, right? And these sports are very, VERY popular with your "public"?
And when was the last time a white pride speech or march wasn't ridiculed and hated? In the US, saying ANYTHING about white pride is synonymous with saying white hate, no matter how such speech or march goes.
In other words, in the US, it's cool to be proud of being gay, asian, black, or even a gay black asian. But to be proud of being white? That makes you a racist, and to make a statement like the submitter did about Georgia is simply irresponsible.
America announcing there will be plenty of oil by increased domestic drilling would cause OPEC countries to laugh themselves to death overnight, nothing more.
I'm a native English speaker, but the grammar nazism comes from learning Spanish. If you told a native English speaker that they did not properly conjugate a verb, they'd look at you and go "Huh?"
As for my Spanish, my writing is rather accurate, but I speak "Spanglish" because my mouth is ahead of my brain. Still think in English!
When you take a test, though, the professor can see you.
Penn State is mentioned in the article, and that's where I attend. I don't take any web classes because they're a joke, but a lot of professors use the "Angel Course Management System" to give computerized tests at home.
What does everyone do? Meets at once and does them all on computers in the lab. Duhh.
The only class I've ever seen anyone get in trouble with was using Babelfish to do a Spanish paper - In reality, Babelfish did better than this girl could have (wrote a form of a verb we didn't know), BUSTED.
As an (undergraduate) trained social scientist, I need to assure you that Margaret Mead was (and still is, mostly) a respected member of her field, also.
The parent of this tread was absolutely correct, studying a different culture is hard. At my school, there's about 160 upperclassmen in the major at any one time (PSU doesn't really count you in a major until your 3rd year), and probably about 6 of them including I are male.
If the girls go up to the projects right by campus and tutor kids and try to run programs (and in the process, study it and take notes, because you're gonna be writing 20 pages on it soon enough), the kids go HAYWIRE. Screaming, fighting, not doing a thing, yadda yadda.
If just about any one of us guys go in there, they all sit down, shut the hell up and listen to the girls, so all I gotta do is sit up by the chalkboard the whole time I'm there and act like a guard dog.
Turns out, it's transitional government-owned housing. These kids don't have a male influence (or, if they do, they're probably sobriety challenged), and the female head of household is working too much to watch the kids. As soon as one walks in the door and tells the boys to behave, they do (and the girls can pay attention because the boys have stopped using their heads to play wallball).
There's other examples that work too, some of the women in the major are parents and older - they simply command a different presence. Because of this, when the all-female groups that don't have some help from "mom" go do the project, they see a totally different view of the same group of children and write papers that aren't alike at all.
People are like big electrons, if you if you look at them too hard, you don't know where they're going. In medical trials, they have to double blind them, because just the fact that the tech knows who's getting what drug can have an effect on the coutcome.

This tool is excellent at removing gang members from your walls, as long as it is used in the opposite direction of the wall.
Ever try to hunt crows?
Crows don't give a damn about a farmer in overalls carrying a pitchfork. But a hunter in full camo with a shotgun? They're GONE, and they tell all their buddies to hightail it out too. When they're feeding, they'll put up 2 or 3 sentries in trees to call out when danger is nearby.

Also known as a microyard.

His analogy may be flawed, but yours is too!

The same functionality works for me, although I have Vista set to sleep 5 minutes after I close the lid. HP dv9720us laptop, Vista Ultimate x64.

Go Penn State!
America announcing there will be plenty of oil by increased domestic drilling would cause OPEC countries to laugh themselves to death overnight, nothing more.
That would go a long way in solving our problems!
No, he's right.
It's unusual, but sometimes geysers spray water in the air.
It's abnormal that Old Faithful no longer sprays at one-hour intervals.
It's unusual, but normal for February to have a number of days other than 28.

Your inbox AND your outbox are crammed with unsolicited male. This is federal prison!
Cartridges aren't all that much better, unless Super Mario Brothers is supposed to flash a blue screen every other second...
Incorrect conjugation of to have.
Yes, I wear the elite SS Grammar Nazi badge.
Kids use CDs?
Hell I thought they all used uTorrent because a $20/week allowance gets them like 4 games a year!
