It's not redundant. Ggp claimed Texas is the southernmost. Well, Hawaii is more southernmost than Texas. Also, geospeaking, they are the same continent.
Africa does have a lot of phat loots in the form of natural resources, and in some cases like pirates in somalia, they have actual fat loots from pirating.
you do it on a speculative basis so if this thing goes big then you have a product ready to go. there's a little bit of money in curing people, a lot of money in treating people for a lifetime (like aids) and a shit ton of money in a vaccine if you control the supply.
that's fine. an event like somebody royally screwing the system in a very public way so people understand it's a bad idea. the problem is that person would likely go to jail for a very long time, even though he's doing a public service (like weev and the att/ipad thing).
it defeats the purpose of free markets, that of delivering the best product for the lowest price.
[citation needed]. Whose definition of "purpose"? The definition that supports your argument? funny how that happens.
And that was what they did.
more profit for apple and the big publishers, with no improvement to the product
[citation needed] true, on day 1 the product is the same from day -1, but over time, more money would allow for greater investment in better products. but like most americans you can only see until the end of the fiscal quarter.
As Cue admitted at trial, raising e-book prices was simply “all part of” the bargain in creating the iBookstore.
here's the thing you refuse to acknowledge: they were raising the book *to sustainable levels*. it's like when china comes to dump junk on the US market to drive US out of business and take all of it for themselves. is that what you want? to US be the bitch of china or amazon?
just because some of the companies are trying to dump ebooks on the market to drive competitors out of business, doesn't mean a coalition of fair pricing is conspiring to fleece the consumer. what will suck for the consumer is when the competitors go out of business and a sole seller is left, who then squeezes all the money out of the book industry. the results? I hope everybody likes reading fan fic and cheap romance novels.
this is a big loss for the southern california community, because the powerplant looks like a pair of big b00bs! Hopefully they can still leave in place the containment structure.

But if you purchase the media instead, you can loan it out to friends, resell it, give it away, use it as a coaster, etc. This way you get - poof - nothing. You're paying more for far, far less. That doesn't bother you at all?
not really. as I said, I usually play a game for a couple weeks then never touch it again. so an $8 30-day rental is just as good for me as an $8 used game (except for the coaster part).
Another thing to consider, I'm somewhat mobility limited due to medical issues, and to buy an $8 game I'd have to spend $20 in uber rides to get to the gamestop and back. streaming is the most convenient for me.
whatever. reading it over, i think my post comes across a little bit fanboi-ish, but tbh I was a huge fanboi for onlive. to have onlive again (or an equivalent service) is huge for me. ymmv.
ok, i'll throw you a bone. i looked at their launch catalog. and it seemed a little anemic. some of the games are cool - saints row 3, deus ex human revolution, but these were also on onlive (obv that publisher is super into the idea of streaming) and I played through them. some new ones there that I've never played, like darksiders II and twisted metal, but those don't grab me. if they had arkham city or bioshock infinite I would pounce, or like a madden game or some thing (but isn't EA doing its own subscription thing? so odds are slim...). Similarly I would have pounced on last of us, but they just released a version of that on ps4!
The uber app can give you an expected price range before the trip. What are you ball bing on about? It's all transparent.

I hate all the FUD about uber/lyft drivers ripping you off. here's how it works: when you end your uber ride they email you a receipt. it shows the route taken (on a map image), total distance, total duration, cost per mile, cost per min, and total price. that's perfect information. you can validate the route taken using your smart phone (either a route tracking app or by looking at your position during the ride), the distance traveled using google maps, and the total duration by looking at your watch. it doesn't get any more transparent than that.
and if you didn't like your ride, give them a low rating. any one or two star review, you'll never see that driver again. if a driver's rating gets low they'll fire him. it's really really simple.
Having BOTH systems isn't that bad though.
PPU and a subscription is the best method.
yeah right. onlive opened with this model, and people here went apeshit. heck, people on here complain because they pay for cable and have to watch ads too.
I was a huge fan of OnLive, probably spent 300+ hours using the service. it's a shame it went under, but I'm glad to get the Now.
the best part of Now is it will bring a deep library of older games to my PS4, which is suffering a bit of a content drought. I'm not worried about the pricing, as I usually burn through a game in two or three weeks and rarely touch it after. So $8 seems like a fair price to pay for bringing the best of the PS3 library to my PS4.

agreed. nobody can truly vet it because nobody can truly understand it because nothing makes sense. welcome to my world.
agreed, let's turn this shizznit up to eleven.

the most southernmost point in US is on the big island of hawaii.

100k is probably within a factor of two of the limit any time soon for things that depend on air.
So the "limit for things that depend on air" will fall between 1,000 feet and 10,000,000 feet?

live everything else, the catalog will catch up.
