I got a Nikon D3100 (pretty much bottom of the DSLR's) and in the space of about 2 hours (of Googling) I went from rock stupid on camera's to shooingt competently without needing to use auto mode.
Then I learned just to keep my camera with me wherever I go in a holster. Because, after all, the best camera is the one you have with you.

How Doctors Die

· Score: 2
IANAD, but I would hypothesize that doctors in general are smart people, and that smart people are more likely to be driven by reason and logic than make futile emotional efforts.
This is not true in the least part. Smart people are simply better at rationalizing their emotional decisions.
No. Babel is the anglicized form of "balal", which means "to jumble" in reference to the mixing of languages. "Babili" is Akkadian for Babylon. Different words, different meanings, no connection.
Biblical literalist? Hardly. Nebuchadnezzar had nothing to do with the Tower of Babel, and it's clear the author has only passing knowledge of either bible story. The article manages to completely mangle both philology and biblical theology. It's stupid enough for everyone to hate.
I rebuild my machines every two years. My previous rig couldn't do Crysis as max settings so my latest system has dual 5870's that I got for $400 a piece. I'll never splurge like that on video cards again. Then again, 2 years later, I still max out the sliders on every game I get. It's great to have that kind of computing power... but maybe I should have waited 6 months? Those cards are going for $150 today.
I'm not trashing TOR. I'm saying that what I really wanted, and what I'm getting out of TOR was a KOTOR3 with a co-op setting. And that perhaps the whole MMO aspect is unnecessary.
I think this sort of thing is inevitable, though. Look at Dragon Age, and how each prologue is unique and distinct. I can see this sort of philosophy being extended for full-length single-player RPG's.
This makes them almost like different characters or like a fire/frost mage same is true as you can meet another jedi counselor who has totally different advanced abilities as you.
Not WOW improved, IMNSHO. More like Vanilla WOW with lightsabers. No LFD. No dual-spec. These are two things that casual players like me enjoy. It's like they took a stock MMO, added voice acting, and a veneer of KOTOR.
Now, there are a few things other MMO's need to look at. The companion system, if stolen by another company, and perhaps matured, could really help blur the lines between single-player and co-op multi-player games in a beneficial way for us casual gamers.
"Hey, yeah man, like, welcome to Google Tech Support, dude. This is Bud speaking. Get it? Haha! Yeah man, but seriously, have you liked, tried turning it on and off again?"
Demonstrations in the streets in the last few years indicate many people do have an interest in that. And they didn't choose jack-shit in 1979, their parents did.
Not saying we should or could do anything about it, just trying to add some perspective to the idea that not all Iranians deserve to get screwed over.
I disagree; money cannot make itself. There has to be external work involved, even if only brain power. Consider how lottery winners never stay rich ("a fool and his gold are soon parted"). As silly as it may sound, even Paris Hilton has displayed more fiscal acuity than most people in debt by managing her money well, even if only because she listens to the good advice of her handlers. Compare with someone like MC Hammer, who was also fabulously wealthy, but money was not really his forte, and he lost it all.
Now, if you said smart money make money, then I'm with you all the way. And every paycheck you make can be smart money if you use it wisely.
It is my opinion (just that, no more) that someone making $24K and no safety net has no business going to a $30K/year school. There are cheaper schools that are perfectly fine.

Aren't you forgetting that it was on behalf of Britain's Anglo-Iranian Oil Company? And we did it even though we had no strategic interests in Iran?

This was a British crisis.

Given that the tablet has nothing whatsoever to do with the Tower of Babel, I agree, if for different reasons.
No, the tablet does not say "Tower of Babel."
It says, "THE HOUSE, THE FOUNDATION OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, ZIGGURAT IN BABYLON."
There is also no linguistic connection between the tower of "balal" (Hebrew) and the ziggaurat of "babili" (Akkadian).

I think there a few more ideas like this that TOR could have (and should have) taken from Blizzard to make a better, more polished game.

This is not how it plays out in the game at all.
Wouldn't a KOTOR 3 have fulfilled your wishes just as well? And without the monthly sub, mind you.
Where did the GP ever say anything like that?

And worst of all, no lazer-breathing super monsters.
Microsoft won't be the ones getting the angry customer phone calls. The devs of broken, backwards web apps will.

Can I use it whenever I see Courier New? It's like Slashdot's Comic Sans.
I keed. I keed.
Mostly.
Ok, not really.
Let a thousand flowers bloom!
That's just sick, you bastard.
It most certainly does not cover the cost of books. But then, I never bought the books after my first semester there.
Aye, but the trick is getting the $1 million in the first place, and having the discipline and good sense not to touch it.
