If Stephen Wolfram turns out to be correct, his ego will collapse into a singularity form the rapid mass inflation it will under go, taking the Earth with him.
This is a fairly big deal. It really changes how the economy handles equipment through the auction house, etc.
I wonder how much changing is possible can you go from +30 spirit to +15 agility +15 Stamina for instance.
How often can I do this reforging, can I reforge my PVP gear into raiding gear and back again?
Enchanters DEing gear that doesn't have much in the way of usefulness changes because all gear will be much more useful
and if its not what you'd like you can just reforge it into more of your liking.
It'll be interesting to see how all this plays out.
I suspect we could probably trace it all the way back to Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales but then who did he nick the idea off? Exodus perhaps? The Epic of Gilgamesh?
This is a great point; I wish I had mods points. While the issue could be kept to a minimum by keeping the gas tank small 4-5 gallons& keeping it between a quarter and half a tank a lot, but if you ran for a year without engaging the engine because all you drive is a few miles a day, you may have a serious problem. Most hybrids up to now this hasn't been an issue because they run their ICE a lot, with the Volt, it might start to become a problem.
Should be interesting to keep an eye on this topic.
Here I try to somewhat amusing while pointing out the obvious and I get modded a Troll; sigh. And yes, I agree they should be sued, the company should be sued, the people who approved this should be sued and held criminally liable in my opinion. But try and point out the lawyers feeding frenzy is somehow off-base....

From the Article:
A key passage -- Section 3.05 (b), if you want to look it up -- says that user agreements contain an implied warranty that purchased software "contains no material hidden defects of which the transferor [the seller] was aware at the time of the transfer." What's more, no matter what language the vendor places in the user agreement, the warranty still stands.
Wouldn't this make it tough to ship a product at all? The code base would have to have no known defects (bugs) regardless or scope or scale of the bug/defect.
I'm assuming a material defect would just be a defect or some part of the code that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
I suppose you could just publish a list of known "usability enhancements",but even that at it still seems like a huge burden to place on the developer.
What about when issues come up once a product ships? The products that ship after the discovery but before the notices can be updated would be in breach of this "recommendation".
Start talking about finances now.
Get on a budget so you know exactly where you stand, with relation to expenses.
Get some money saved up to take the pressure off in case something happens and its going to happen.
Avoid accumulating debt as much as possible or completely if you can, its just more stress that can be avoided.
If the two of you can talk frankly about money and get on the same page you can talk about anything which in turn will help with working through any trials that come along immensely.
An interesting thing to say given the discussion at hand. Are you saying that "abnormal" brain structures that change the behavior of the host animal is strictly the providence of Man?
That's the summary of the first chapter of DARTH VADER's new book:
"LORD VADER'S - The Art of Negotiation: Tips & tactics for getting everything you desire"
However, paracetamol single doses above 10 grams or chronic doses over 5 grams per day in a well nourished non-consumer of alcohol, or above 4 grams per day in a poorly nourished consumer of alcohol, can cause significant injury to the liver. Without timely treatment, paracetamol overdoses can lead to liver failure and death within days. Because of the wide over-the-counter availability of the drug, it is sometimes used in suicide attempts.
Then later on they discuss some of the risk factors: Risk factors for toxicity
The toxic dose of paracetamol is highly variable. In adults, single doses above 10 grams or 140 mg/kg have a reasonable likelihood of causing toxicity. In adults, single doses of more than 25 grams have a high risk of lethality. Toxicity can also occur when multiple smaller doses within 24 hours exceeds these levels, or even with chronic ingestion of smaller doses. However, unintentional paracetamol overdose in children rarely causes illness or death. This may be due in part to the immature cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system in children. Excessive consumption of alcohol can impair liver function and increase the potential toxicity of paracetamol. For this reason, other analgesics such as aspirin or ibuprofen are recommended for hangovers.
Some individuals are more susceptible to hepatotoxicity, with toxic doses as low as 4 g/day, and death with as little as 6 g/day. Fasting is a risk factor, possibly because of depletion of hepatic glutathione reserves. It is well documented that concomitant use of the CYP2E1 inducer isoniazid increases the risk of hepatotoxicity, though whether CYP2E1 induction is related to the hepatotoxicity in this case is unclear (Crippin, 1993; Nolan et al., 1994). Chronic alcoholism, which also induces CYP2E1, is also well known to increase the risk of paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity (Zimmerman & Maddrey, 1995). Concomitant use of other drugs which induce CYP enzymes such as antiepileptics (including carbamazepine, phenytoin, barbiturates, etc) have also been reported as risk factors.
2050 BC is the Bronze Age around almost all the world. If Thogg is taking a month to figure out how to bash your skull in with a rock you likely have nothing to worry about. You'd be about 8000 years after the neolithic agricultural revolution general tool use had been around for quite a while by then.
That said, I wouldn't be inviting Thogg over for tea.
When I look up the total land area of the earth i get different numbers ranging from 148M sq. km to 153M sq. km. So an average of 150.5M sq. km + or minus @2.5M sq. km or @965k sq. miles
So they're mapping to less than the margin of error for different sources as to the total land area. But what I find interesting is that there appears to be variations equal to three times the area of Alaska (656k sq. Miles).
And at the same time they're introducing a feature to turn off experience gathering to more fully support twinking which is almost exclusively a lower level endeavor.

Well, its closer to a hypothesis or conjecture really. There's nowhere near enough evidence supporting this to be "upgraded" to a theory.

Sounds like a house rule created to make you think twice about mortgaging properties, though its not mentioned here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Monopoly/House_Rules
Not quite true, Noah Steere 6'6 - 350lbs = BMI of 0.4

Though granted he's an anomaly; he is an counter example to your statement of "someone with a BMI over 40 is always fat."

Over at the chemistry Daily Website they are talking about much larger doses than are being bandied about here:

Yes I agree, but finding a local pharmacist that understands compounding rather than just counting out pills can be challenging.
