The 'after photo' definitely looks suspect - it appears as if the height v width ratios have been altered to create more length to the photo than was originally there. Put it back to it's 'correct' dimensions and she might just look a little surprised.
As most people are shithouse dancers, especially when they've had a skinful at a wedding, just claim a personal performance/recording thereof as a parody: fair use, right?
"The goal is to make the targets drop any weapons and flee the scene."
Why the f*ck would they drop their weapons and flee the scene? If they can flee the scene, they'd wanna hang onto their weapons wouldn't they? And if they can't flee the scene, unless the beam can cover the whole mass at once, they might be tempted to use their weapons? And if they can't flee the scene, they are pretty much constrained anyway?
Sounds more like a tool to use on demonstrators who aren't armed, just pesky.

No, I don't think you are an exception - that's the same meaning I took from the most specific reading of the sentence. However, I'm saying that I see no point in even mentioning a "real drop" in their sample data when it simply can't be extrapolated to sales as a whole, especially in a research document they are flogging: to me it appears to be a triumph of marketing over valid conclusions. "Gee, look at this dip! (PS. oh, but don't take any notice of it please!)". Cheers.
"Our credit card transaction data shows a real drop (my emphasis) between the January post-holiday peak and the rest of the year, but with the number of transactions we counted it's simply not possible to draw this conclusion . . . as we pointed out in the report."
There is no way that he can use the words "...real drop..." in the same sentence as "...it's simply not possible to draw this conclusion...". Whilst those who uncritically took the information from this 'research' and used it (doubtless with some sensationalistic agenda in mind) deserve scorn, that very sentence itself demonstrates the research to be nothing more than PR to flog the thing at $249.00 a pop. If you take out the words "real drop" and substitute "no meaningful change" then this report was clearly worth fuck-all: at least in terms of the author's now visible desire to have something sexy to sell!
In this specific case Ray, what's your opinion of the RIAA's lawyers and their ability to 'draw lines', based on the AOL letter clearly indicating IP addresses and account information but also clearly NOT stating any connection between said account and file sharing activites?
You need to re-assess YOUR comprehension skills. Read this again..."the President determines"... - repeat -..."the President determines"... Lets look at your statements again with this in mind:
"If you've got high-school reading-comprehension skills, you can see that the President is only authorized to use the military to restore order when..."the President determines"... local authorities are "incapable of maintaining public order", and "And not only that, but the extent of the emergency must be so severe that..."the President determines"... the authorities are no longer of capable of protecting the rights and privileges granted to the people by the Constitution".
Get that? It's up to the President's determination. There's the huge fucking hole you could drive an Abrams through.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the (now with Catalyst 6.9) Crossfire enabled P965 boards will be 1 x 16 lane enabled PCI-e 16 slot and 1 x 4 lane enabled PCI-e 16 slot (for those P965 boards with two slots) at most vs the P975x having 2 x 8 lane enabled PCI-e 16 slots: if so, how will this affect their Crossfire performance overall on the P965 boards?
Exactly, and to further illustrate the impact of the game hardware-wise, Quake primarily drove the demand for 3Dfx Voodoo cards via the development/availability of the minigl driver for the game, hence kickstarting what now is today the multi-billion dollar GPU industry.
My guess from seeing his unorthodox animal handling practices from his many TV shows is that he encroached a bit too close to the ray from above, coralled it beween himself and the sea bed, invoking a startle movement response from the creature which lead to contact on his chest and the automatic deployment of the stinger at an inopportune time. Can't find the reference, but I believe I read of a case in South Australia of a diver inadvertantly disturbing a ray in a similar way and suffering a (non-fatal) wound to the abdomen.
Or, perhaps less likely but still possible, is that he hugged the creature: he certainly wasn't shy of putting himself in situations which came across as risky?
Thing is, I don't believe Howard's reaction was knee-jerk: he's a crafty and cunning politician.
His call to axe the show is more about a public endorsement of 'family values' and 'public decency' to appease the Family First senator Steve Fielding, who is important to him in the senate, particularly at a time when the Howard Government is intent on forging ahead with it's Senate 'mandate' and introducing repressive and draconian policies across a whole range of areas. Having a few 'loose cannons' in the Senate like Barnaby Joyce who can't necessarily be trusted with the party line means courting this ultra conservative Family First party Senator as a safety measure.
Howard is as cunning as a shithouse rat and will avail himself of any situation to deliver political advantage in measured and populist ways.
Scottish Quaker QL-Ettu goes on an American server (Clan 311 server) on May 27th, 1997 and destroys all the players he faces on DM4 by using sequential respawns to his advantage. John Cash from id Software is watching and is amazed by what he is seeing. Four days later, a new Quake and Quakeworld server code update is released with random respawns implemented. This will quickly become the standard for all future deathmatch style games".

Yep - you got those names right:) Sujoy still plays (Q4 now) and set up the site ESReality, Thresh has the Firing Squad site and also a game browser, Killcreek (Stevie Case) works for a game dev maybe, Kornelia a little while back was doing a 'Play against a Legend' style thing at some big LANS (Quakecon?), and The Romero is 'Someone's Bitch' jk.
I still remember watching demos with the first gen players: guys like sCary, Polish, Giggler: great memories. Might have to hunt around on the old drives to check out some demos.
If I recall correctly, the swedish(?) player Ettu was responsible for Carmack coding in random spawns: he saw a demo of Ettu giving (I think) Hellrot a spawn spanking in a DM2 match, branded him as 'evil' and did the recode:)
Classic! You have to give that seller points: either he was fantastically naive about baiting, or he battled against great odds just to salvage the one or two possibly genuine queries coming his way!
