So work around it. Buy it, but install the cracked version and play to your hearts content. It's a bit of a catch-22, though. Still supporting the company that DRM's things using a third party, but getting to play an awesome game... Good luck figuring that out.
Sometimes going without something you don't want means going without something you do want. If someone buys a game with DRM they create the impression that DRM is acceptable whether they choose crack it or not.
If you're going to take off your top to take off your bra, why nut just do like everyone already does - lift up the front of your top to cover your nose and mouth instead? Quicker, larger filter area, etc.
Looking at the picture, I think the biggest advantage of wearing the bra cup is that it frees your hands and is less likely to slip off your face.
Now, if you live somewhere where there aren't any good libraries, well, I guess you are SOL. I've never had this problem, but I guess if you live in the boonies it affects you.
If you don't have easy access to a library here in Canada, like living in the boonies, there are programs in place for libraries to mail books to you. It's possible something similar exists in the US.
Not that I disagree with anything you've said, but my comment was based a lesson I picked up from a former prof: "the only bad marketing is when people don't learn what your product is". Shutting down out of the blue was a dick move but their brand awareness is now through the roof.
I use the run box for this. Just press WinKey+R. Or, you know, Notepad.
I actually do a combination of your suggestions. I have Autohotkey installed and mapped WinKey+N to run Notepad++. Combined with the autosave plugin you can type whatever comes to mind without fear of losing it.
It's no fun complaining about something if no one sees or hears you doing it.
I have a theory that this is also why Facebook and Twitter have gained so much popularity. Half the updates I see on either are complaints about work, chores, some person who won't be named but must be publicly called out on some unspecified charge and/or the weather.
and a plan C, D, E, F..... Z. One can not have enough backup plans.
Accounting for what can/will likely go wrong is a great idea, a backup plan will save you a lot of time, money and headaches under those circumstances, but when you start thinking about everything that might go wrong you run into diminishing returns pretty quickly.
For example, my backup plan for my car is my bike, my backup plan for my bike is walking and my backup plan for walking is calling a taxi. Sure I might benefit from a canoe if the road ever washes out or an alternate exit from my yard if a tree falls on my driveway but those are unlikely scenarios that are best left to be dealt with if and when they come up; worrying about them beforehand just creates extra stress.
It didn't, not as of this posting at least. What you're seeing is the result of a karma bonus modifier. The default setting is that if someone has good karma it will add 1 to the score for your viewing pleasure. You can change this in your settings if you'd rather avoid it.
The problem is that a) No one can see into the future to see what those ACTUAL damages will be, and b) Many of the people suing will be greatly exaggerating their damages, if not committing outright fraud. Again, I don't envy BP the mess they will be dealing with on this--especially since every ambulance-chasing trial lawyer and his brother are going to be pouncing on this, and I doubt that judges are going to be very sympathetic to the evil oil company.
Regarding A: NevarMore made the same point, that you can't know what the actual damages will be.
Regarding B: I'm pretty sure you still have to prove your claim is reasonable.
Whether the oil company is evil is irrelevant, the judge's lack of sympathy will probably come from the fact that the company is responsible for an environmental disaster.
Maybe they'd drop several at different points/heights and establish a mesh network. That way, as long as you could reach one sensor you could reach all or most of the sensors that are still operational.
Is this a car metaphor but with horses which I see before me? The real problem is when the barn owner sells the horses, but also trains them to return to his barn as soon as their new owner is asleep.
Given which industry we're talking about a horse and buggy analogy seemed more appropriate.
Do you have any good links on this regard? I'm quite interested in this. I've been looking at (though not building yet) distillation refrigerators using solar heat as fuel.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I've done a lot of research on building a passive house in a climate with extreme temperature variations and the following links made good starting points:
Other options include designing the overhang of your house to be long enough to block most of the sun during the summer when it's higher but short enough to allow most of all of the sun through in the winter when it's lower, planting leafy trees with a lot of little branches near windows (the leaves block light during the summer and the small branches allow it through during the winter), and one that I cannot stress enough: the better your insulation is the more comfortable you'll be.
In my current house the biggest change came from putting in triple-pane argon-filled windows. We could only afford to do half the house at a time and the half of the house with new windows was much more pleasant to be in both during the summer and the winter.

All a woman needs to do to land a geeky guy is to quote a line from Star Wars. That is super hot to us.
Indeed. Make it so.
Well, we are publicly mocking her. That's some sort of penalty, right?
Given that we're publicly mocking her on the Internet I'd say it's just business as usual.

Yeah luckily he posted a well written article...
Well, there's your problem!

That's it. We should ban vacuums.
That idea sucks.

They still won't have DRM and they still won't have a download client.
Love it or hate it, this is one of the more successful marketing stunts of late.
Temperature's 50 degrees lower just like IQ is 50 points higher.
Of course, that's how I managed to make such a clever comment eh!
World of difference the border between the US and Canada makes.
Yeah, the temperature is like 50 degrees lower.

Hey! Did you know if you type in your root password into the search bar, it can list your computer in the search results?
That would explain why there are about 1,050,000 results for hunter2 on Google.
Sounds like someone didn't use enough high explosives!

After watching King of Kong I'm extremely happy to hear Wiebe is back on top. Something about Billy Mitchell has never sat right with me.
You must be from the US where they don't serve meals anymore.
Oh, they still serve meals, for about $10 USD.
... how did this get modded up?! O_o

Mod this post up!
How very meta.

Wouldn't it be a treat if they discovered an Angel down there? Then we'd finally have a reason for emo teens to pilot mechs!
