Amen. Last year, some breaks I wasn't expecting (didn't consider moving deduction at the time) pushed my refund to about $150. This year, I'm estimating $15 in refund. And that's only because the telephone excise credit swings it around from me owing them $15.
Good times, good times.
If you're looking to buy something that was made this year, I can't recommend Yspahan enough. Wonderful game with plenty of strategy and narrow decision-making to curb those who are prone to analysis paralysis.
What Alhambra is based on was themed on stocks. What you know as Alhambra is based on an earlier game called Stimmt So! (punctuation was part of the title). The game's rules were the same, except that the start wasn't as even, the "rule of 5" for getting small currency wasn't in place, and there was no worry about having to build and fit things and connect walls. Setting that aside, it was very, very much the same game.
Which is fine on its face. But if I had submitted a post about how my ID was snatched in an MMO, I don't think it would have made it out of queue. It would have been written off as, "Duh! That's not a fantasy name!" Instead we have this thread of 300+ posts, some of them discussing the topic, and some (like ours) devolving into meta.
Hey, if he can get away with using the resources of a publicly traded company to vent about the problems he had with a game GM, more power to him. Just don't approach this from a perspective of "All submitters are created equal", when we know that they're not.
Well, in the case of #2, if the woman were to hold up a big sign that said, "This is how you access my vagina", and then fall asleep in the park and wait for someone to come along and "interact with her systems", then we might have a parallel. As it is... nah.
Should the kids have alerted someone? Yeah, technically they should have. But whenever someone claims they know how to break security, they're villified by the "victims" (with help from the press) as immoral (cr/h)ackers anyway. So if you're going to be accused of a wrong anyway, why bother?
I concur completely with point A, but will play "Devil's Advocate" on point B. The people there took the physical risk, but due to various bailout methods other people will share in the financial cost. If you live in a place that's known to be due for a disastrous force of nature, is it right to expect me to bail you out when it comes?
The difference is that this isn't simply the removal of clothes from a model; it's the on-screen depiction of a sexual act. Vulgar variable names is moot to this particular argument, since that wouldn't alter the given rating. Fucking, however, likely would.
McClintock, and a few other good films. You can find some really decent stuff in the dollar range if you're willing to concede that you're not going to get a anything recent or requiring high royalties.
The packaging was crap, but that's ok, since well, they were a buck each. My bigger concern was that the various titles shared UPC codes, which meant that I wasn't able to enter them into DVD Profiler (not going to link, find it yourself)
Because dumping refers to selling a cost in a foreign market at a cost below a product's home market cost. Here's it's not dumping, simply a loss leader, as the cost is low in all markets.

I'm in the final weeks of an HTML class I'm teaching in high school, and the class has been broken into groups of four to complete a final project.
While some of the grades are being assigned by me, each project captain assigns a grade to his teammates based on a rubric I'll be distributing; the teammates will to the same for the project captain. Goof off, and your final grade will reflect it.
Granted, this opens up the possibility of bombing someone you don't like. This means you still have to observe the efforts being made by the class members, to verify that the student-assigned grades are fair.
So, I use the Gimp in my classroom because I don't feel like blowing budget money on the other stuff. But let's face it -- the interface is a beeotch. It'd be good if it were easier for the students to navigate.
"Three strikes laws are a category of statutes enacted by state governments in the United States, beginning in the 1990s, to mandate long periods of imprisonment for persons convicted of a felony on three (or more) separate occasions."
If you're going to use Wikipedia as a source on Three Strikes laws, you could, at least, read the Wikipedia entry on Three Strikes laws.
So he wants to tax downloadables? Fine, then shift the cost to untaxed fees. For iTunes, make it 1 cent for the song, plus 99 cents for an (untaxable) delivery fee.
That depends. It's possible that all shows would be priced the same. What I would find more interesting (though it were never happen) would be if shows were priced based on average production costs for the season. A show's cost would be 1/1000th of 1 percent of production costs. So a show like Enterprise ($1.6M per episode) would cost $1.60 under that structure. 100,000 downloads would cover the entire cost of the episode.
Times 22 episodes would be $32 for a season set, which is a decent price to pay, aside from the fact that you're not getting extras like on a retail DVD.
When I was part-timing with one server, it was always a pain trying to convince people they were the source of an attack. A number of times, I decided to be extra courteous and try to verbally pass along information to the IT departments of certain institutions.
So the conversation would go like this:
Me: One of your computers is spewing worms / virii / bad mojo. Them: No I don't think so. Me: I'm quite certain by the log. Them: Yeah... have you ever heard the term spoofing? Me: Yeah... have you ever heard of (offending IP address)? Them: (Silent cursing.)
The silent cursing was really the fun part, especially one time when the offender was an internationally known cathedral.
