Oblivion was a game where you stood still when you leveled, there was never a battle where you realized you're in way over your head and had to run for your life.
Try killing Umbra for her armor and sword early on. She is in a crypt right outside the Imperial city, shouldn't be hard to find her.
Typically, the right of resale is one of them, at least in capitalist markets. No one can tell you that you cannot sell a good or service you have, or resell another good or service you bought - such a thing simply won't hold up in court since it defeats the purpose of basic economics.
Hey, good point.
I must remember to tell my dope-peddling friends about that one. Maybe they can give the judge the URL to your slashdot posting.
He also has this incredible quality to completely ignore what someone says and just focus on what he wants. It's like he's incapable of comprehending English (or any human to human language) when he's in this sort of fit.
Frankly I am amazed that he hasn't pursued a potentially successful career in politics. Sounds as if he has a great politicians media interview technique going.
With the rate at which Intel-based Macs are failing after the latest 10.4.10 update I wouldn't be surprised if there was a processor update being slipped in quietly. And which may have gone terribly wrong for many users.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the problems were, in part, due to sloppy Q&A what with many Apple developers and testers being pulled into the iphone project...
I've read about 1,000 variations on this sentence over the past few years, and I haven't been able to puzzle it out. Maybe I'm dense, but I've never figured out why diversity is a problem that threatens to make all our heads asplode.
Its the same effect that herd/flock/swarm/school behavior exploits; when a predator can't single out an individual from the group its pretty hard for them to select prey.
Heres an experiment you can try at home.
Try getting a cat and some small fluffy objects that the cat may like to play with.
Get the cat interested in playing with one of said fluffy objects so that you drop one in front of the cat and the cat goes for it.
Now, take that one fluffy object away and get the bag full of fluffy objects and drop the lot of them in front of the cat. Observe cats reaction. Unless one of the fluffy objects falls away from the others the cat will, typically, act confused and almost dazed.
That cat is someone trying to select a Linux distribution (the fluffy objects).
there's always a chance that they'll put each other out of business and thus save the world. Maybe.
Thats like hoping God will include Christians of *all* denominations (Anglican, Catholic, 7th day adventists, Jehovas witnesses et.al.) as well as Mormons, Jews, Muslims and Scientologists[1] in the Rapture.
Sure, it would be *nice* of Him...
1. Ok so Scientologists aren't exactly monotheists but it would still be cool if they could all be taken away as well.
Although I have no issue with multiple similar texts spanning the same topic, the fact that he doesn't reference (as far as the summary goes) Kaczynski's seminal contribution makes me somewhat wary of this author's breadth and credibility.
A lot of academics will outright refuse to even read Kaczynski's work on account of the fact that he blew some of their fellow academics up.
Kaczynski made a huge mistake in blowing people up; it effectively restricted the distribution of the story he had to impart.
I read the 'Unabomber manifesto' when I was doing 'philosophy of social science'; my lecturer would not read it and had I referenced it in my essays I would have got a big fat F (for 'failure' not 'fantastic').
If we had overlapped with the dinosaurs, you'd be finding T-Rex thighbones with human teethmarks on 'em, because some crazy caveman somewhere would have figured out a way to catch those bastards, just because he wanted to know what they tasted like.
So true.
Its always impressed me the way that Neanderthals very efficiently hunted big game (by todays standards more like 'gigantic game') with short stabbing spears.
That meant close-quarters combat with huge and dangerous animals like Very Large Bears.
Now, if I periodically saw other peoples' crying children leave the individual's house, or saw illegal child porn on display after being invited into their house, I certainly would have an obligation to have this "sorted out right away." Fact is, people have groundless suspicions about things every day, and a society with the right to get to the bottom of every such suspicion
How about having huge posters of 'pretty children' in public places with monitoring systems which could detect people whose gaze lingered on the child for too long or too furtively?
Groundless suspicions? Or thought-crime detection?
Don't forget either... in 1984, Big Brother didn't spy on you. Big Brother didn't exist. Your neighbors spied on you. Your employer spied on you. Your wife and children spied on you.
It was like a widespread, every-household-involved 'reality TV show'.
I can understand how something like that could catch on... everyone wants to be on telly.
So, continuing the analogy, we might expect someone to roll a golden apple (with "For the prettiest" scrawled on it) into a boardroom sometime soon... Followed by a skewed beauty pageant (to decide who really *is* the prettiest) with much bribing of the judge and leading to a huge war.
Specifically, I am wondering if it will take Catholics as well as Anglicans? Jehovas witnesses? 7th day adventists? And maybe if God would be kind enough to extend it to Mormons as well?
If God would please take the Jews and Muslims away too, the rest of us would be terribly grateful. Is that likely to happen?
I understand that God might want to leave us with the Scientologists though as I am sure Hollywood must be in His plan somewhere.

Some cats, and some people are readily capable of thoughts/actions outside of herd mentality.
I'm not accusing them of *herd* mentality.
I'm accusing them of *predator* mentality.

so expect the world to get crappier if the Dispensationists are right and there is a Rapture before the end time.
Hey, if its a world without judaeo-christian monotheists how bad can it be?

Those guys had *balls*, dude, big hairy *balls*.
The government actually has plans to use nuclear warcraft to deliver municipal electricity in disaster scenarios.
And if thats not enough and all you need is some light to work under just send up a nuke like a great big flare.
And if people complain that the flash doesn't last very long, send up another one.
With the amount of nukes the USA has this should provide a viable light source for its citizens lasting for several months.

IT IS OVER ONE MILLION!!!
How do you expect to defeat the mighty Bill Gates with such an *insignificant* Download Level???
even the Gods had their problems.
You aren't kidding.
So, continuing the analogy, we might expect someone to roll a golden apple (with "For the prettiest" scrawled on it) into a boardroom sometime soon... Followed by a skewed beauty pageant (to decide who really *is* the prettiest) with much bribing of the judge and leading to a huge war.
Thanks for that.
Can we have one of these only for Apple?
That's a rust preventative that's often used to preserve military firearms that are being kept in long-term storage.
I heard that the US military lag bullets with pig fat in Iraq and Afghanistan to, er, protect them from rust.
Hey, good write-up.
This is about to be way off-topic.
Now can you tell me about the 'rapture'?
Specifically, I am wondering if it will take Catholics as well as Anglicans? Jehovas witnesses? 7th day adventists? And maybe if God would be kind enough to extend it to Mormons as well?

Wait for it...
Cracked versions will feature the gaping crack of none other than... Drum Roll...

Tada!
Wait!
Isn't the one the right Steve Jobs???
Many poles, published on many sites, indicate that the business world is nonplussed with Vista and many have no plans to migrate over.
I'm not surprised that Vista isn't popular in Poland.
And if you are going to refer to Polish people as Poles, please capitalise it.
Thanks.

And let me guess, in the case of movies, each frame of the footage is a seperate request?
Will a power user be willing to edit text files and database files

I tried to be a power user on OSX.
I edited
Fat lot of good it did me...
There is a difference between voice and data, according to (stupid) law.
Well thats interesting.
Is there a difference between *music* (with singing)and data according to law? If so, that could be very useful...
The Secret Cow Level in Diablo 2 was pretty much an Easter Egg.
There is no cow level.
