While yes modchipping is more technically difficult. There's this thing called friends.
All it takes is one person in a group of friends who knows how to mod chip.
Your argument, saying it should be pointed out that he is a computer science prof instead of a poli sci is an ad hominem argument, is it not? It tries to draw attention away from the merits/flaws of the creator of an argument by pointing at the merits/flaws of the presenter.
And my comment about compsci being political was meant to be a turn around of your comment about poli-sci's having a strong technical background.
i.e. If a poli-sci professor can be technical, can't a comp sci be political?
Of course this response is responding to another "straw man" since i'm just responding to Anonymous Cowards.
But I agree my second part was tangental. (I was being to lazy to make my own post.) I ended up restating myself in a more appropriate place further down the line.
"There are laws to punish faithless electors in 24 states. While no faithless elector has ever been punished, the constitutionality of state pledge laws was brought before the Supreme Court in 1952 (Ray v. Blair, 343 U.S. 214). The court ruled in favor of state's right to legally require electors to vote as pledged, as well as remove electors who refuse to pledge." -- from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_Colleg e#Faithless_electors
And would you like to point out that the Professor has been one of the electors and involved in the process multiple times?
Thus showing that Computer Scientists can have a strong political aspect.
Second point:
An elector doesn't have to vote how the states want them to, aka Faithless Electors. " There are laws to punish faithless electors in 24 states.

How are the laws are affecting the gold farming shops?
(Not saying all gold farmers are chinese, just that there are chinese gold farmers)
Do they just purchase an additional accounts or do they have more work arounds?
Of course i don't use Zip.ca.
I'm not canadian. heh
I don't really rent anymore, since I see the movies I really want to see in the theater.
Or wait till they hit HBO/Cinnemax.

But also, Both of the games (WoW and Oblivion) are sequels to popular chains.
The Single "God" will get new games off the ground but wouldn't they be less effective for sequels?
The other thing is, entry. The older games had what tools to use? How much did they have to
develope themselves. But now tools are becoming more standardized with companies making game engines and not games.
How far should a person go to prove something?
The website isn't a court of law.
Why should he bother taking a picture of the ram and cd-rom?
It isn't hearsay from my understanding of the term.
"Hearsay: Testimony given by a witness who tells second or third hand information"
from http://www.jud.state.ct.us/legalterms.htm#Hearsay
This isn't second or third hand information for the buyer. He can directly observe the facts. So it isn't hearsay.
For us to claim that its broken would be hearsay, but not him. Of course INAL.
And how can a picture show that a laptop doesnt work?
Its not as if the screen is shattered, any attempt to show that the laptop doesn't work in picture format will most likely
look like a laptop that is turned off.
The only part i agree with as far as the privacy aspects are the people who are not the buyer.
They are a 3rd party.

" provide our employers (and the economy) with quality work output"
But are you providing your employees with a quality work environment.
If they do more then the minimum are they rewarded in any sense (monetarily, verbal praises, a pat on the back)?
Are they allowed to share in the benefits of a well performed job?
Does the minimum amount needed mean a 20/30/40/50/60 hour work week?
"As employees create more output they are worth more to the company and will get more compensation"
I've seen valuable productive employees not compensated. I've seen worthless employees compensated.
Its not simply thier output. Its thier relationship with the person who handles compensation as well as the goals of the person handling compensation.
Does this mean I could use the reasoning.

A review is supposed to tell us about the product, Right?
He spends the entire article on how he's trying to install it on all these different laptops and the problems he has.
As people have already said It's Beta, and It's a laptop.
So he eventually gets it installed. Lets hear the review.
He compares it to a Mac.
Then he lists the features
and then compares it to a new car and ends the article.
Now maybe I blinked BUT WHERE WAS THE REVIEW?
Why is this even posted on slashdot?
However your post makes it seam that alliance are full of idiots.
They both have good players and they both have non-thinking players.
The population imbalance just means its harder to find the good alliance players.
More likely though is that it will cause the Horde to slowly become more like the alliance as the new flood of blood elves hit the servers, where the good players are harder to find amids all the lesser ones.
Let me qualify that.:)
Lie => Put an answer on the test that did not reflect how i felt.
There's an old saying/quote:
"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies."
Alot of the questions i've sen have been on the 5 scale
Strongly Disagree Disagree N/A or neutral, Agree, Strongly Agree
Or some scale where you agree and disagree but some strength.
So even if i have left work more often then not i wouldn't answer strongly agree. I'd agree.
So its a matter of picking a believable answer.
Maybe i just have a skewed view on these tests which is possible since i had a bad run of job interviews.
Though i think two answers i had on one of these personality tests were fairly funny.
Q: "How do you handle change?"
A: "I handle it fairly well, after all everything changes, except static variables."
Q: "Why should we hire you?" (Closing question)
A: "Because I said so.... (Start BSing about how i'm the qualified for the position)'
I used to work as a temp in a company that made entry/promotional tests for various civil service positions. He was an I/O Psych Doctorate and one time he asked me and the grad students working there, "What is wrong with tests that tests honesty?" Which I at least consider similar to these personality tests.
I answered correctly.
"People lie."
Honesty tests and personality tests both have the same problem.
I know your testing me.
And since the answers are usualy so vague.
Its just a matter of me picking the answers you want to hear.
I don't think i've ever lied personally but its the flaw of the tests themselves.
"marked by his obvious struggle with English grammer"
"His English pronounciation was quite good"
Is a way of making sense of the quote. Meaning he had some problems thinking up the proper sentence but you understood the words that are coming out of his mouth.
But thats just my 2c.
While I may not be the perfect responder as I have been looking for a career job for a while with no luck and have basically been working towards my masters in the mean time.
I have hobbies listed and they are always being asked about by recruiters. Why? Because they do relate to me and my skills.
The hobbies I list involve an anime convention which I am a head of staff on, and a university club I helped found on campus. Both of these reflect on organization, leadership, and management type skills which I have not had in a "professional job".
And it gives the interviewer something of interest that I can use to make myself stick out more.

Man I had a person give similar complaints when i talked about Training Day.
Once a movie has left the theater.
And gone to video.
And more then a year later
YOU GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT "SPOILERS".
You had your chance to go see it in the theater.
On HBO/Cinemax.
On Blockbuster.
Heck i think its been on basic cable as well.
Oh here's one last thing for you...
