Those 4 "new" categories are just subsets of "casual". Just like how "hardcore" includes "RPG gamer", "retro sidescroller high scoring gamer", etc.
Also, they state an erroneous opinion regarding social gaming as consesus, and then say that the survey surprinsingly contradicted that "fact". Since I remember growing up going to my friends to play many generations of console and computer games, I never once believed that "fact" of theirs. There's no reason to keep it alive the way they do since they keep seeing surveys that discard their opinion.
For what it's worth, I own two Malteses and a Boston Terrier.
I had a cross boston terrier and boxer once, looked a LOT like pitbull. Was a bit dim, but the nicest dog that ever lived, she cured a few people of their fear of dogs.
What I want is a liscense for dog-owners, not for dogs. You should prove you are responsible enough to have a dog before being entrusted with the care of a living, feeling animal with the ability to kill large mammals and humans with ease.
The badly injured neighbor looked into a lawsuit, but decided against it because the dog's owner was a renter, had no assets, and operated a cash business.
The dog is an asset... get it, spay it, or put it to sleep.
1. Blind spot in watch cameras.
OK, thanks for pointing those out. Now we can board the boats and steal them. Yes, this is an issue, and one that should be fixable, but extra cameras will also affect the systems that digitize and monitor them, as well. Still, this system should be fixed, but it's not a major thing, and now you've just told anybody who's interested (in a bad way) how to take advantage of the flaw. Thanks.
Dammit, I can either leave you on neutral, or put you either foe or friend... where's the "this guy believes in security through obscurity" coloured pill?
Like I said, I see he has concerns, but this is really the wrong way to deal with it, and puts our Coast Guards at much greater jeopardy than the things he's addressing!
He tried the right way, and was ignored. If pointing it out is putting them in jeopardy, then, by golly, ignoring him was wrong, wasn't it?
Did you simply not understand my previous post or something?
The one where you pull numbers out of your ass? No, I ignored it because I saw ACTUAL numbers that contratict your made up crap.
utterly stupid you're simply digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole overestimating your mental capacity, I'll be sure to use smaller words and simpler logic in future replies. Are you simply illiterate or something
He may have been a jerk to you, but he has a point. Heat rises. Is it really efficient to have your heater near the ceiling?
1- Desk lamp 2- Appartment building 3- Insulation And the biggie: 4- "your heater"???? IT'S AN ADDED HEAT SOURCE! Sheesh, for the THIRD TIME! Not "the" heat source, the lights chip in. Chip. In. As in "contribute".
Ah... *sigh*, third time I've said this, think it's gonna be enough to stop the flood of assine reply based on the erroneous assumption that I'm using lightbulbs as the single heating system? Ya think?
Except that they don't last 10 years. I've been using CFLs for at least 5 years (back when they used to cost 10 or 15$ each). I've yet to have one last more than two years, and I'd say most don't last more than one.
Reminds me of CDs... back in the day they were touted as nearly indestructable, I still smirk when I think of that as I see someone handling one like precious breakables.
For those living up north, where we have this thing called "winter", there is also the fact that incadescent bulbs chip in to the heating in winter, thus these puppies would mean higher heating costs.
I might just speaking from the repeated frustration of piking up an "Asimov" book, starting to read it, and 30 pages in, realising it's crap, checking the cover more carefully to find the small print "based on" or "inspired by"... if you have faith in this author, and you really think the book idea was abandoned beacause of outside factors and not a good judgement call from the author, then by all means, go ahead and enjoy:)
I know a lot of people (myself included) who refuse to purchase Star Wars until the originals are released on DVD. It looks like that's going to happen soon, but not in a particularly satisfactory way.
I'm not buying the Special Dinosaur Edition just because it comes with a crappy version of the originals. Fuck Lucas, fuck him with a lightsaber.

Yes, this is obviously the case. Ref: World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI.
Sequential iterations of a videogame != a screen franchise milked as a videogame
StarGate can do it if it's done right. They have the brand name.
Brand names are a reciepy for suckiness.
in a third-world country like the USA
Now that's just dumb.
Just think how frustrated you get when you lose your keys
My keychain is a birthday gift from 1989: I don't know what you're talking about.

Im not about to let any copper decide what is dodgy...
Hey, there's places in the states where a blowjob can land you in jail (it's sodomy!). Count your blessings!

Yes but think how miserable it would be living in the snow and cold at the North Pole.
I think all them elves and that jolly overweight chap would cheer the place up...
Has any other US president ever done as much damage to the US as Bush has?
LBJ's 'nam versus GWB's Iraq?
Tough call.
There's something positive about being Orwellian?
Yeah: They get warm fuzzies from the news, not chills of dread like the rest of us.
my source on the document reclassification is here.

Not for long

lose their lives around the world flying their faulty f104s.
:(
Here's a hint: If a company is in the business of making, marketing, and selling bombs, they have 0% respect for human life.
Try and keep that in mind

I know it's rather selfish, but I'd rather reduce the risk of spilled mercury in my home than reduce mercury emmissions in the environment.
Selfish, short-sighted, delusional... the list goes on.
It's not as though your home wasn't in the environment.
Wow, some people just lack any common sense or ability to think.
You describe yourself pretty well.
Electric lightbulbs are one of the least efficient ways you could possibly heat your home.
What part of "chip in" don't you comprehend? The "chip" or the "in"?
For those living up north, where we have this thing called "winter", there is also the fact that incadescent bulbs chip in to the heating in winter, thus these puppies would mean higher heating costs.
Ah, the complexities of life.

But unlike most ghost written crap, this is being finished by a very good author
Very good authors have their own names on their books, not a famous corpse's.
Because the evidence suggests that they are incapable of a good new series.
Until the death of Rick Berman, your words shall remain true.
