The lofty goals for the cell processor have it being used in everything from tv's to your microwave. The purpose of this security is to have all of those appliances have the ability to lease out their processing power to other appliances in the event one of them requires it.
Imagine yourself encoding a movie, and your neighbor's ps3 helps you out because it isn't in use... would you like your neighbor having the ability to see what your encoding? Nah, and I'm not saying that this technology will be used in that way yet, but at least it get's us thinking in the direction in which you don't need a computer to be able to use one.
why would someone over-report their active subscribers? you'd have to be a moron if you can't show what happened to the revenue generated from those subscriptions when the amount of taxes you paid doesn't add up.
Face it, it's a count of active subscriptions. SWG might not have as many active players as they did before, but I'm pretty sure they offered subscriptions in excess of 1 month. Just because you cancelled your automatic billing doesn't make you an inactive subscriber. You have to wait until your subscription runs out.
Ask yourself this.. let's say mtn dew costs $100, but you love it. tomorrow they start calling the drink valley spring water, and instead it's sold by faygo. Are you gonna take the chance of buying it, or are you gonna settle for your 2nd favorite drink?
It's pretty easy to say you'll try something when the cost is insignificant, but when you're shelling out a grand or 2 on a product, you damn well wanna make sure it's good.
Hell, even insignificantly priced objects are still subjective to your biases... what kind of toilet paper do you buy? why? If it's only 10 cents more then a knock-off brand, do you think - Hey! I can save 10 cents or are you like - 10 cents is nothng, and we're talking about my ass for crying out loud!
Why do people buy bmws? it's a pos car for everything except their top of the line stuff, and even then it's subjective... but it's a bmw!!!
When going to the grocery store and picking out a condom (jokes aside) are you going to buy a trojan or a hotrod condom? What if the trojan brand was sold to some other country and it had it's name changed?
If all countries outsource their tech support, does that mean that if we call lenovo's tech support we might actually get someone we can understand?
Anyways... I won't buy their laptop's because they haven't proven themselves. I also won't buy toshiba, dell, or any other laptop other then maybe a gateway as a last resort. Personally, I'd rather laptop parts become standardized and manufactured so that I can easily get parts and put them together myself.

Let's say you go down to your local store and buy a bag of Doritos.
Now let's say you go buy a 2 Liter of Coka Cola. Unbeknownst to you, the seasoning in the doritos reacts violently with Coke and produces sulfer, thus making you spew out the contents in your mouth due to the nasty taste.
Now you find out you should have bought Pepsi, since it does not contain any ingredients that would produce that circumstance in the first place!!! So now you are limited to only buying Pepsi...
Then you find out one day that the substance that is put on Doritos was put there intentionally and is unnecessary in preserving, colorizing, texturizing, or adding flavor to the Doritos, in fact if you took that chemical out, nothing would be different...
Why are you expecting this to be an incentive for the students? The motives behind the requirement are pretty clear, a switch to a paperless business. That's the benefit as all businesses are looking at ways at decreasing costs.
the city may not have to pay for this, I didn't rtfa and I don't care to, but it looks like he sued an individual who just happened to be the mayor. The money should come out of his pocket if anything.
Sony bmg "destroys" your computer, sony is just a name with lots of subsidaries. Sure, in the end they are related, but to tie that directly with the playstation portion of their company is wrong.
Instead of UMD would you rather they make the psp twice it's size to fit in a cd? Do you complain about Nintendo's gameboy format? Then you top it off with complaining about the type of memory... What did you do when mobo manufacturers started using dimms instead of simms, or what about the transition from pci to pci-x to pci-e, wtf is this agp stuff? OMG the sky is falling, why are we using different kinds of technology for different applications?
Oh they've dissapeared all right... Then everyone that knew them dissapeared, so no one was left except a few hobos and a coffee shop owner, well.. he was a coffeeshop owner, now he's in rehab.
Athletic or Slim people might have a virus that makes them so. So in other words we should have obese people and skinny people live and work near each other until we get "normal" people...
wtf? I think these people are just trying to justify why they are overweight, instead of taking that effort and putting it into excercise.
Microsoft can't justify selling an operating system AND requiring a monthly service fee (yet). It'll just take clamAV to really take off before they go down that path.
Actually you could kinda do the brood of nozdormu quests after aq was opened. Get in on a couple boss kills and get your faction up so you don't have to farm 36k bugs... After that there is a bunch of lore stuff, and things you can do in a 5 man group for a few weeks. The first faction grind was the only truly idiotic thing in that series.
Ask yourself this. How much communication do you think actually happens over the phone line via voice communication? We already know they have phone access, which can easily be changed into internet access. Why would a well coordinated group communicate via a medium that someone can eaves drop on when they can easily communicate via encrypted messages sent over the net?
Actions like these may help, but they will not be a complete solution. So are you willing to give up your rights in the hopes that some terrorist makes a mistake and says something over the phone that may tip people in on what they're doing? A better statistic to know before making this decision would be to know how much help these wiretaps have actually been. I bet it's about as successful as someone leaving a bag of candy on the doorstep and saying please only take 1 on halloween night.
Upon completing the first collection part for the scepter of the shifting sands (needed to ring a gong and open the gate after the war effort handins) you could witness the closing of the gates. Basically semi transparent mobs were fighting and the dragons each came down and blew them away with breaths and stuff.
Basically you saw a flashback of the incident. Now that the gates are open, it's in "current time". So it would only make sense that those supplies everyone spent hours upon hours collecting would go to use for something. More then likely there is a huge battle going on to clear the opening of the gate. After the battle subsides you will probably have to fight a whole bunch of bugs just to get inside to enter the 2 new instances. It is a war after all, what fun would it be if you could just stroll into a highly contested new area where a force has been left untouched for over a thousand year?

Read the post i responded to, then you'll understand why I wrote the analogy I did. Is it relevant to the OP - no, is it relevant to my parent - yes.
Here's the line: "Why is this not a perfectly acceptable competitive advantage offered to a partner?"
That's what I responded to, do I keep having to explain everything to you? You're wasting my time.

Doritos and Pepsi are owned by the same parent company. I thought everyone knew that.

Life is about compromises. The problem is that once you start down that road you concede everything that you were fighting for.
