This is why they have game demos. Download the demo. Try it. Buy it. Or don't. Does anyone actually listen to movie reviewers? Half the time I completely disagree with someone on the quality of a game or a movie. Why would I buy a game based on a review? There are basically two things I need to know when I'm considering a game. Is it full of bugs? How much does it cost? Oh. You play console games. I'm sorry.
They without question will ship you a new product if you say you didn't get the one you ordered. I just hope people don't abuse that. The only thing I buy from Best Buy is DVDs and I try to avoid that if possible.
Creationists always assume the universe was created. Whose to say that time began at any point. The universe makes much more sense if we take the element of time out. Also, just because something is easier for you to swallow doesn't make it so. That's a matter of personal choice at that point and isn't really based on logic or science. If there are multiple theories that are possible we take the one that has the most evidence to support it, not the one that makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside. Also, the difference between faith and belief exists. One can have faith in god, but one does not have faith in science. Faith is contrary to the notion of science. Science is supported by repeatable experiments. That isn't faith. It's belief.
...Antarctic ice is growing, it has been for at least the past two decades. There is a smaller chunk that is shrinking, but the larger mass has increased much more than the small mass has lost.
Greenland use to be green.
Most of the ice that's melting is below water level. 89% of an iceberg's mass is below water level. Ice has less density than water, hence a higher volume and hence melting icebergs do little to increase the overall volume of the oceans. It's the ice on land that we need to worry about. Further, if the global temperature is rising then the equilibrium of the ocean will change. More ocean water will evaporate.
Carbon samples from the poles have shown that it was hotter on earth before now, in the last 13000 years I believe. They have also shown that increases in global temperature have preceded increases in global CO2. Not followed them.
Data has shown that increases in solar activity have directly correlated with increases in global temperature.
Conflated. Good word. I think perhaps companies who have extra IPs are holding onto them until all of the available IPs run out. In that case they'll be worth significantly more money if IPv6 isn't ready. Perhaps I shouldn't have said cash because they're more of an investment at this point. Perhaps I should have said Mutual Funds, Bonds or Real Estate. Otherwise they have significantly less value. We won't scrap IPv6. It's here to stay. Too many software and hardware companies have invested time and money in planning for it.
IPv6 is being forced upon companies who sell software to the government. If you want to sell your software to a government agency you need to have a plan for switching to IPv6. That's a government requirement. I think the due date for the plan is 2008. The actual switch over is another date but you need to show that you have a plan or they'll stop buying from you.
Also, to anyone who thinks there are plenty of unused IPv4 addresses you are wrong. In the beginning many companies grabbed huge ranges of IPs that they would never need. It wasn't a problem at the time because they never conceived that they would run out but now that we're running low on addresses you can bet those companies are holding on to those assets because they're worth cash.
While what you say is a basic rule of economics, it is not the only factor. The cost of producing the product is definitely factored into the price. Obviously, Adobe charges more for Photoshop not simply because they can get $900 for their software, but because the cost of developing such a complicated software is higher than making most video games. They know basically, based on their past sales, how many units they'll move and they need to recoup their cost of development. Pricing is also affected by other factors. For example, Walmart sells it's new release DVDs under cost because they know people will come into the store to buy DVDs and then end up buying half a dozen other things that they need on which Walmart can make a large profit. This isn't really a supply and demand thing.
It is important to note that the requirements for these temperature devices state that they should not be within a certain distance of any structures. I can't quite remember the distance, something like 100 or 200 feet, yet there are many that not only are less than this distance but some are directly resting up against structures.
I didn't read the article and could have produced the exact same response except that I'm much more interested in not spending 10 minutes to write a response to a POS article. All I'm gonna say is I use Facebook to communicate with my friends, not to impress them and other random internet tards with my friend count.
First, I'd like to say you people are demented. Just because your victim is an idiot doesn't mean it's ok. Who calls GeekSquad in the first place? It isn't anyone who even knows what encryption is. They don't have a clue what you're doing. They know how to do about 10 different things on the computer that they learned by muddling through it and they don't stray outside that. If you think it matters who the files belong to then you're just plain ethically challenged. It's called privacy. Look up the word. Look up your right to it in the constitution. The government can't break your privacy and some underpaid shit from GeekSquad sure as hell can't break it either.
I'm guessing that a lot of the GeekSquad employees feel justified because of what some of their customers ask them to do. I worked as an underpaid IT shit and I got ethically questionable requests from customers all the time. From wanting me to use a pirated OS to wanting me to backup their pirated software. I'm sure you all don't find a problem with that either. Work one day as a programmer and you'll change your tune.
I'm really not seeing how a small change in global temperature is causing these deaths. Even if you grant that the temperature increase exists and is caused by CO2, and that it's our CO2 that is causing the problem, how do we make the jump to 150 000 deaths? Has the temperature change there been more drastic than it has been here? Last figure I read was 0.6C was the change globally over the past 100 years. It's like saying that changing my light bulbs to compact fluorescent is the equivalent of taking 250 000 cars off the road. Oh wait...
If anyone remembered the old West End Games version of Star Wars. It was one of the best Pen and Paper games I've ever played, and I've played most of them...
I would argue that if everyone ditched religion for science, it is inevitable that someone would use science in the same way to corrupt people into achieving their agenda. *cough* Global Warming *cough*
...don't tell my kids I told you this. Game stores have strict rules about returning games. They won't take them back if they're opened. They will, however, give you a fresh copy of the game if you tell them yours is broken by no fault of your own. They won't check to see that this is the case. Then you can come back later with the new copy and return it for a full refund. It's probably safer to do this when a different set of employees is present or go to a different location of the same store.
Actually I would say that Employees feelings DO (and not just CAN) make or break any piece of software. Morale is the key motivator. If your employees aren't motivated it doesn't matter how many hours they're working, they won't get the work done and the work they do complete will be sub par. Process, resources and plans are important factors in success but if you don't have morale you have nothing.

People will use all kinds of funny logic to justify their bad habits. Second hand smoke kills.
over the world, it gets into a dispute with one of the biggest members. Phew. It's a good thing they're all so damn greedy.
I know lots of people who want one but haven't got one yet. Including me...
The name is a mythological Moon Princess. Or something like that.
Actually, the jury has the right to determine if the law makes sense.

In 7 years I'll no longer need my desktop. I'll have my laptop next to me in the passenger seat of my flying car.

No, eating his brains won't help you. But if you pull off his skull cap and read his brains you WILL gain his powers.
Sir, that is an awesome idea, and I don't imagine we're too far off from seeing something like that in the future.

Actually I would say that Employees feelings DO (and not just CAN) make or break any piece of software. Morale is the key motivator. If your employees aren't motivated it doesn't matter how many hours they're working, they won't get the work done and the work they do complete will be sub par. Process, resources and plans are important factors in success but if you don't have morale you have nothing.
Wow. One QA person? Really? That's sad. They should have had dozens of QA people at the very minimum.
