I mostly haven't been playing lately because I'm almost exclusively on a laptop at home, which means everything gets really chunky as soon as the map gets even remotely crowded.
This argument will be settled in the marketplace, and it is either side's battle to lose. All it takes is consistent frustration with one side to become a proponent of the other. Barring that, people will use whater works and/or is cheaper.
That was me when I found out TF2 was free to play for Linux. It takes a lot to pull me away from more important things like baking bread and playing guitar to go play a game, but as an old TFC player, I couldn't pass up the chance to try out a game that had interested me since I first heard about it (though not enough to deal with Microsoft).
People like to throw around their pet business models when arguing this issue, but when it comes down to it, I don't care about anything that cable/satellite offers me over what I already get from Netflix. A lot of people seem really sold on television as a lifestyle, though, and for me, that isn't enough to convince me that I need to pay for something beyond the $8 a month I already pay. If they want to stop making new shows as a result, I don't really care.
You may have learned that, but while I learned the same thing, I also learned the related fact that I don't give a damn about using better-than-anecdotal evidence on subjects I don't care about, nor about proving points that aren't important to me to people who passionately care about the other side.
I actually have a similar issue. It's coupled with a difficulty processing voice in a noisy environment. I would be unsurprised if the two were related.
the thing is, for equations and such, I had no need to copy them down in class, since my instructors generally already displayed them via powerpoint, and made the slides available online.
I still can't figure out why anyone actually lives within the city limits of San Francisco given the cost. I grew up in the bay area, and it was readily apparent to me when I finished school that even in the suburbs, much less the city, I couldn't afford to stay without a lot of luck and extremely good pay.
I think the problem comes from the extremely questionable definitions of "enterprise" floating out there at this point. Some of them are common sense, some are pure nonsense, and some of them are downright hypocritical.
I would tend to agree with you on note-taking. I found that when I took notes, I generally missed about half the class. My final GPA was something like 3.979, so I feel pretty confident that it worked for me.
And as a German-born American, I certainly hope the EU never moves economically in unison, since the only way to get that to happen is to basically destroy every shred of autonomy for the member nations.
you and I agree on this matter. I'm simply pointing out the arguments that will be (successfully) used. I use the same sort of blockers for the same sort of reasons.
You actually kind of help my point here. There's a key issue you just touched on that I don't think you realize. They have this gigantic system, they claim it works, they failed to stop the Boston bombers, but they have all this data and are using it for something. Given that this event was followed by what essentially amounted to the military occupation of an American city (regardless of what you want to call the troops used), I feel quite justified in being concerned.

I second this. But admittedly, that's only a small start of all the parts of our government that ought to be dissolved.
Except when you get asked in interviews if you have ever quit without notice.
That said, there are circumstances when immediate departure is necessary.

I agree with your comparisons of meanings, and I think your point about IBM is solid.
Added to your definitions I'd add "homogenized" on both sides, which has both good and bad, depending on your needs.
Meanwhile, the NYSE and I believe at least some components of Google run on Gentoo-based customized systems. Seems not everyone drinks that Kool-Aid.
So am I.
Indeed, I have the same issue. I read quite well, the spoken word however just processes slowly and/or poorly.

I'd say pretty much the same thing.
the thing is, for equations and such, I had no need to copy them down in class, since my instructors generally already displayed them via powerpoint, and made the slides available online.

I would tend to agree. The scary thing about it though is that the term autonomy has a whole lot of implications that include every one you listed.
It's not like the US intelligence groups ever go beyond what laws allow, nor do they ever lie about such things...
The thing is, I don't actually care that much. I'll leave the specifics up to the people in that field.
If she sang, it must have been in Germany, and I bet Spain is sure hoping she plays Madrid soon.
And as a German-born American, I certainly hope the EU never moves economically in unison, since the only way to get that to happen is to basically destroy every shred of autonomy for the member nations.
You beat me to it. But basically, you're right. The sad thing is, in this case, a simple statement of negation would have sufficed for a headline.
you and I agree on this matter. I'm simply pointing out the arguments that will be (successfully) used. I use the same sort of blockers for the same sort of reasons.
I'm not surprised that they happen over time. Has anyone detected a solidly provable shift in modern times?
