I say let them do it. Let them stop airing it. It will hurt people for sure but it'll hurt the company more than people that's for sure. This situation is a big debate already and it's not about to finish. I think companies need to shift their business model to a more modern one. It seems like lots of businesses are still hanging on to old tradition even if it doesn't work well today.
I have no idea what they mean too but to my understanding cause I didn't take any physics class (too busy screwing the girls back then). I think the "ultimate" goal or one of them is to create a zero latency network to any distance.
Entangled qubits might be able to form the basis of a quantum network with zero latency over any distance, which would make it rather useful for the intergalactic Galnet that will eventually succeed the internet.
Not entirely true. Lots of games have "fixed" content like you say. Only the write or story teller has that reason, motive or intention and it's is right to do so. I won't start to question is reason to do so but rather try to understand it instead. I won't feel grossed out by it because I will try to understand it to it's fullest.
A good example, even if it has nothing to do with gays, is the sexual scenes in the tv series Game of thrones.I can understand lots of people either feel grossed out of offended by it. Those reasons could go with either the fact there is actually sexual scenes in that tv series or the fact that women were depicted like sexual objects...well the reasons could be enormous so I will spare the list. I don't feel offended by it and if someone is in my entourage, I will explain the whole situation to them. Most of the time, they understand and they let go of the axe and stop hitting me with it.
gay characters, situations and stories have been in games and stories for a long time and it's here to stay for a long time too. so in other words, even if you don't like, deal with it cause it's here to stay
I blame the webdevs who sold us a service available on the Internet. We have to use IE because it needs or uses IE API. I tried various things like using firefox and chromes, ie tab but it really wont work. It really needs those pesky API's from IE. Once I can find an alternative about this service which is on the way right now I will remove (hide let say) IE on every PC's at my work.
LMAO, what are you talking about ? I never stated any number besides the 191b$ and the 33.1%. Also public or private for me makes no difference because in the end, the citizen pays that...especially the public part as in private most citizen wont pay...afaik. Also to note, the province of Quebec as a debt of 10b this year and keeps going up. The governement decide NOT to attack that debt and do nothing. Also, the heath care system is what's costing the most in our provincial budget.
If the USA wants a public health care system like Canada please do, but I assure you and confirm to you that will will cost you an arm and a leg to pay for that system no matter who tells you. Be afraid of people who tells you it won't cost alot...that is not true. It won't be free. In fact, whatever number the governement tells you about the cost of that system, it will increase over time.
My comment posted here is to inform the US citizen that since our health care system cost too much for our needs and it's out of control and currently still out of control and nothing is done to "fix" or improve it's status.
That public insurance plan your gov wants will not be free. No matter what the cost is in the first couple of years it will continue to go up year by year. Like it says in that page, in 2010 the cost of that insurance plan was around 191 billion. I don't know exactly what will the cost be in the USA but it will be higher that's for sure.
Right now the health sector is worth around 33.1% of our provincial budget. It started smaller of course but over time, the budget for the healthcare system grew bigger and bigger and there's still no limit today. In the last provincial budget, nothing is done to take care of our deficit. This also includes the health care system.
follow this link and read the 5 search engine. Seriously guys, theres more than google out there. This is just a small example. I'm pretty sure other search engines exists that are better than Google and not mentioned here
That's what i was thinking too. Those employee must be idiots or something. Really, If I look for my name, it seems like, at first glance, I'm a editor for a journalist, a techno freak that has a blog and a known person to have commited fraud in Florida couple of years ago. But another quick search will reveil this is not me. They only have my name which is normal in my province. I can't believe I hate a unique name from over 7b people on earth. That would be amazing.
We have the technology to find and look very deep or far where isotopes are or where the fartest solar system is. But yet, I can't find my damn keys in my house sometimes.
I watched the Daily Planet on discovery channel and I got this guy name Lance who makes custom wheel chairs. pretty cool chair. If I had to use a wheel chair, he would be on my list of guys to visit to get a wheel chair for sure.
That study is over 100 year old. Lots of things changed from 1909 to this year ya know. Second thing is I feel fine after 40 hours and this means I can still work more than 40 hours but this is not for everyone I agree. Personally this depends on your type of jobs as certain jobs are very demanding. Also theres the income tax situation. If you do overhours, in my province anyway, you pay more income tax so in my situation it's not worth it so i don't work more than 42 hours because of that. If it wasn't that case, i would glady work more than 40. But because this article is based on that 1909 text, i don't fully agree with it. But it has some good facts though.
Not exactly, the skill calculator is there to help you decide to make choices on your skills and runes. So in my view, it's not like tabletop RPG, it is a tool but nothing more. Most RPG's or "skill" level system game on the internet have that kind of tool anyway.
I read the forums here and there and the beta testers, most of them anyway, told that from level 1 to 30 will be quests, discovery and mostly lots of fun. After level 30 up to 50, it will be grinding for the best items, so it's going to be item hunters. This is suppose to be diablo 3 in 1 line approximately.
Well, theres PGP (or other encryption software ) and proxies so in theory there is but theres always someone with more knowledge that can beat that privacy with something else.

Who cares about food when you got porn..I mean Internet.
Wonder if my diarrhea will be considered high octane type of gas since it's lethal if you visit my bathroom... most of the time.
It only allows you to turn off instant search, not autocomplete... and yes RTFA

Oops, i meant farthest. Forgot the H. The difference can be insane if you make a typo with a single letter sometimes. lol

I was so sure about that bad food came from my step-mother. I'm surprised she isn't responsible for the diarrhea too :)

I should of said futuristic weapons instead compared to Star Trek and Star Wars weapons
Pre star-wars era or pre star trek era weaponry ?
God bless we have Bioware. This is only 1 example amongst many that still make good quality RPG's.
Apple played their cards well in this battle.
