Perhaps it's partially a matter of not buying into senseless hype? I'd like to think that at least somewhere on Earth people have the intelligence to see the difference between graphics and gameplay.
This guy reminds me of the scene in Mallrats where they're trying to have an intellectual discussion about superman's baby. He's over thinking and over analyzing something that really just isn't that deep. I think he may just like to use big words or see himself in print. I really don't suggest anyone read this unless they've got insomnia.
Many Vegas casinos have made card counting much more difficult in just the past few years. It's something I've done regularly and it used to work fairly well. These days though all the tables have four (or eight) decks and they only play through maybe 2/3rds of it. It's rare to see the odds skew too far one way or the other in those situations.
Occasionally you'll still find a double deck dealer who plays almost to the bottom, and you can clean up fairly well in those cases.
Despite my best efforts to play as intelligently as possible I only leave vegas as a winner about half the time. Monetarily, anyway. The stress relief of a few days gambling is always worth it. I've never been harassed or asked to leave a casino for card counting, even while fluxuating my bet upwards of 500% when the odds are right.
I don't see anywhere in that article that says anything about the university selling addresses. "Legally obtained" could mean many other things...
You're correct; of course, it could mean a number of things. However I cannot get a copy of my own information from my univerity without paying them, so I find it hard to believe they would just hand it out to a company without any incentive. Monetary incentive or otherwise, I still consider it selling them out.
So the school sold all these addresses to a spammer, presumably for the purpose of having spam sent to them and then blocked all the messages? I'd probably be annoyed too. Of course, it is the students who should be even more angered that the university would sell them out like that.
That's terrible, that means with the best service 1 in 200 calls doesn't go through? I run an old school PBX where we make hundreds, possibly thousands, of calls each day. I couldn't deal with that kind of poor reliability.
In that order. I don't see Doctors there anywhere, unless you want to lump it into accidents. Even in that case, it's fifth and only because it includes things like car crashes and other misfortunate events.
Capacity and access speed, both of which BR wins. Price is another matter, the HD-DVD camp claims it costs only a few pennies more for an HD-DVD over a typical DVD, while Sony et al is still researching cheap BR pressing techniques.
Three or four thousand for a decent one. They're pretty much useless for trying to record a movie or something though, as you have to find something to capture and record the audio as well and then go through the hassle of syncing them back together. It's quite a pain in the ass.
So the transformers was a masterpiece of cartoon art with riveting plotlines? I loved Transformers when I was a kid too, but it was because it was fun. Frankly I doubt they could come up with a less plausible storyline for the movie than the cartoons featured. Hoping to rehash all your nostalgia is most of the reason people hate the rehashing of old greats, and to me this is an unrealistic expectation.
First of all this has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIGH DEFINITION.
It has everything to do with digital broadcasting taking up FAR LESS of the broadcast spectrum that they want to free up for other uses. If the government doesn't step in, that huge portion of the spectrum would be tied up in archaic uses forever!

BusinessWeek? More like BusinessWeak.
That would be giving a company the benefit of the doubt we they havent yet responded to accusations. We don't do that around here.
Indeed. I also purchase server software for server functionality, ie Active Directory. This complaint is completely baseless.

Perhaps, but it is certainly not Japan or the US.
Sure
isn't it more fun to fanasize about something that is potentially possible? - but what do I know...
No, not really. I can have an average woman, I prefer a woman out of my league in my pornography.

You always keep your keycards, and you always destroy them. I've yet to have an issue with a hotel wanting it back.
That's insane.
Seriously, how can this type of patent not get laughed out of the office?

Powersauce (linux) is great!
You're quite the boon to society, Jackass.
They sure do have a lot of Sony and Dell adds on their site though.

Friend who has worked for AOL for years and years ranked top 5% at around 105k. I, on the other hand, apparently suck at around 5k.

In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
That unit has no OTA tuner in it. Even if it did, it is unlikely it would be a digital OTA tuner. Why do you think it does?
Because I own one, and it works just fine.
HDTV has nothing to do with the transition from analog to digital broadcasts.
