planescape: torment is, in my opinion, the greatest videogame I've ever played. Tycho, of Penny Arcade, at one point noted on PA that he feels the same way (I can't find the actual post offhand). We're both RPG fans, of course, but I'm pretty sure anybody who has any appreciation for plot would feel roughly the same. That said, it's pretty exclusively a point-and-click adventure, so to be perfectly blunt, you might save it for last...
That very much depends on one's political philosophies. I'd hazard that Nazi soldiers and German citizens who felt that their ethical standards were above the law were correct, while those who did not were probably incorrect.
The submitter is an idiot. Yes, nerds probably don't get as much sex as the typical jock that drinks their date into submission, but I found a picture of sarah sprauge, who's quoted in the article:

A little bit nerdy, sure. But you think she's never had sex? Somehow I doubt it. There are lots of attractive and I'm sure intelligent people over at liningup.net.
What this says is that if a firm has a document retention policy for carrying some documents three years, some five, some seven, etc., it's likely to be legitimized and companies don't need to spend inordinate amounts of money keeping, say, automated notices forever. This says nothing to the effect that companies can't be punished for poor document retention policies, such as one in which executive communications are deleted monthly.
Easy enough to solve--chances are the guy's e-mail pw is the same or similar to his system pw and she could log in and intercept the notification e-mail (if she was smart, but obviously she isn't much).
It's a play against other systems. Don't use it. Deliberate platform incompatibility, when we're doing so well web-enabling everything. I don't want to be too tinfoil hattish, but I don't think there's a compelling reason to do it.
There is a difference between federal anonymity and actual anonymity. There always USED to be a reasonable basis for the assumption that unless a judge signed off on a warrant or subpoena for an investigation, a person could remain essentially anonymous to federal crime investigators if they chose. However, abuses of patriot act clauses are well documented and occur with startling frequency.
I don't think the other guys answered your question, really. Very simply, there is a big difference between investigation of a crime scene (in your deli) and destroying the anonymity conditions in public discussion commons. One is accretive to freedom and one is severely dilutive.
The point of free ipod is to offer you something that costs essentially only time, as opposed to mountains of cash. That, to the vast majority of people out there, is valuable. I've got a pal who paid people to sign up for the orders for him and collected his ipod for about $50 bucks. Saved a boatload of money.
Hey mc, we know the generalized geek rapper from the songs, but tell us about YOU. What're the hardware and OS of choice? What kind of characters do you play in D&D? What're your favourite movies/books? Top five all-time desert-island superpowers?
By my count there are only eleven stars within ten light years of the sun... Sure, if one of them happened to experience the same sudden phenomenon we'd be screwed, but the poster makes it sounds like it's likely.
Even the posters don't read the stories these days. TFA expressly states that it's illegal to bring cigarettes into michigan except by licensed driver. Clearly this is not a precedent case for expecting that states will tax all online commerce... just the illegal tax-circumventing stuff!
No reason to regulate it because it's not scarce, no monopoly power because there are no economies achieved through size, and no money flowing through to tax for the average consumer (sure, enterprises spend money on voip, but that's not really in the discussion). Good luck trying.
I mean, I agree with your thesis that gov't is vultures for enterprise, but that's when there is scarcity or fear of monopoly or significant gains to be had from taxation. These are implicitly untrue with voip.
Joe, the specs for wimax are multichannel. As you have noted, 70mbps is just one. The technology is easy to scale--one station containing a few channels can be implemented and serve the early adopters in each are. It only takes a small marginal number with year-long commitments to break even on implementation of further channels. Piece. Of. Cake.
Declining market?? Typical linux bias! Maybe declining server market share or declining ability to automatically upsell versions, but not declining market in desktop windows or MS office. Not domestically, and especially not worldwide. This guy makes a big old logic jump based on his personal bias when he says that.

And so has the growth rate in earnings. Do the math--it's not hard to see why the P/E would rise.
Did anyone bother to check? Mine still says "in beta." Yes, they've made it less exclusive, but still beta.
jesus justin you're everywhere!
watch the forward P/E... you're not buying yesterday's earnings, are you?
Not expressly, as it wasn't so much a comparison as it was an acid test, but... ah, who am I kidding, I lose...
Ethical standards aren't above the law

Ha, excellent reference.
Could you explain your sig? I don't understand it.

burst got $60 MM. What's your point?

Haha, yeah--the mall of america has a significantly higher Gap/Starbucks ratio than my local mall. The differences are compelling and fascinating.

PS great show at Arlene's in Manhattan!

Actually, the wimax companies will be commiditized and will use products and services by verizon and t-mobile.
Yeah but voip isn't. What's your point?
