With Traditional Radio, the listener is not really a consumer, the listener is the product. Companies buying space for commercials are the consumers, listeners are just a piece of crap on the shelf at walmart. Radio stations create their products(you) by paying to play particular content or creating their own with shock jocks, they make money when you listen because someone else wants to sell stuff to you.
Sattelite radio may be different, I do not know for sure as I do not have it, but I am assuming that the amount of commercials is way down from traditional radio, or non existent.
I haven't thought through the competition angle on the satellite radio yet, but my gut instinct says that this is good for me. I want satellite radio, I have not purchased a receiver and service plan yet as I want things that are only available on one or the other. Football, listen to Sirius, Baseball, you have to listen to XM, NBA sirius, NHL XM, bbc coverage, listen to one, cspan, the other. I could go on, the list of items which are only avialable on one or the other is long enough that I will not buy satellite radio until they are all available on one network. Hopefully in the not to terribly distant future, all things I want will be on Xirium or Sxms, or whatever they call the combined network so that I can get a radio for my car.
Sounds like maybe you need the calculator, why would you give someone extra money(one dollar one cent over twenty) in order to get back $14.95???????
Why not just give the extra five cents and get to 15 even?
I don't blame someone for using a calculator for that, you just gave fucked numbers.
You don't need to find out what all the representatives think. Just one, yours, and two senators, and anyone who runs against them, at most in any given election only one senate seat and one representative seat in your district are up for grabs. Much easier than trying to get all the reps to give their opinion.
People using google/yahoo/other search engine are not their customers. Their customers are the people/companies that pay for advertising. The users are just that, lusers. unless they are paying for upgraded services, not sure if google offers that.
The concept of wizards in other countries was introduced before book 4. Ron's brother Charlie worked with dragons in(I forget the name of the eastern european country) and this was mentioned as early as Sorcerer's Stone(book 1) as Norbert(Hagrid's dragon hatchling) was sent there in that book. Also, it was known early on that Ron's brother Bill worked abroad as a curse breaker for Gringott's. In book three we know specifically that he was working in Egypt as that is where Ron's family goes for summer holiday.
Give me a break, this is the casino's problem pure and simple. Anyone going into a casino to gamble is attempting to maximize their winnings in some fashion, at the same time the casino is going to great lengths to maximize their profits. These people beat the odds, the casino lost despite their best efforts(which obviously were not good enough.).
Check your history. Iran had a revolution, led by islamic extremists, and communist activists. Once the government had been defeated, the religious folks created a THEOCRACY which then created an imaginary democracy. Do people vote in Iran, sure they do, do they actually vote for real candidates? No way, the only people that can run for election are people that have already been approved by the THEOCRACY.

A Tale in the Desert

Based in ancient egypt. No killing. Advancement if done in several ways, depending on the "school" you choose. You can advance simply by exploring, and gain skills for exploring, you can advance by learning technology, first learning to gather wood, then how to make tools, mining, Arts, politics, the players make their own proposals for laws which then are voted on in game.
It really is lots of fun. I only quit because I like to lay the smack down on someone or something every once in a while.
I played ATITD for several days in beta 3, and it was an enjoyable game. I would have played longer but had to deal with RW issues and travel preventing me.
After playing EQ for 2 years, and DAOC for 9 months, I kept looking for the auto-attack button, but, all in all it was interesting.
Considering the number of developers involved, it is very impressive.
Heh, thanks, but Im not European....
I'm just your typical/. lurker with a lousy sense of humor.
Either that, or, it is so advanced that no one can comprehend it.. Im not sure yet.
The author will probably get in trouble because he used the word "vision" without getting permission or including the requisite "TM Sony Online Entertainment".
Doesn't everyone know that Verant invented the word "vision" when they were creating EQ, and now sony has the rights, and TRADEMARK....
This book (Linux Rute Users Tutorial and Exposition) is a great newbie book, and also, a great book for mid range linux users to have as a reference.
You can buy it in many bricks and mortar stores, also on amazon, but if you don't feel like paying for it, it is(or used to be) available free for download. Here is one download address, I don't know if it is still free.....

Of course it is creative, you probably didn't notice the apple logo near the top of this article, but your brain noticed.

First they came for the terrorists, but I said nothing because I was not a terrorist...
