So so true. There is now a huge section in bookstores (B&N) called "Teen paranormal romance." It's as large as other sections with names like "Fiction", "Reference", and "Non-fiction".
On the other hand, a private mint could notice that proof grade 1909-S-VDB pennies sell for slightly more than pennies from a 2010 proof set, and there is really nothing stopping a private mint from making a new run of "model 1909-S-VDB psuedopennies"
Except that it's counterfeiting and illegal in the US. Law does provide for re-strikes which are stamped with the word "COPY" to be created and distributed, though.
I am told that a large number of "collectable" coins are manufactured/faked in China.
China is churning these out an alarming rate. And they are not stamped with copy. Some of them are very well executed, but an educated collector can generally tell the fake from the real. Additionally, there are a number of 3rd party grading companies and you get authentication along with the grade.
Also, there is no such thing as a 1909-S-VDB proof. Proof is not a grade, it's a method of manufacture. There were no proof coins minted in San Francisco in 1909.
I can't speak for all games, but I am very familiar with the save structure of one particular series, and each game in this series stores a backup of the save file and will always revert if one of them is corrupt. I would guess that this is not the only series where the developers take this approach.
Troll? It's a serious question. What the fuck IS this shit? And I am referring to the article.
What the fuck is next -- "Don't like contracts? Have you ink pen sign them! Simply coax your ink pen (through digital manipulation) into signing a facsimile of your name! Oh imagine the lawyers dismay!"
Hey, where's the roadside test for vicodin? Prescription codeine or morphine? Dextromethorphan?
I am sure they would like to have one, but I think there are two factors to consider when asking why these drugs are allowed exist without it:
1. They're not legal unless prescribed by a physician. Which makes them controlled and, in theory, harder to get. So less pill heads driving compared with drunks.
2. They have a valid medicinal use which is weighed against the risks driving while on the substance.
Anyhow, it's a real issue and I think a reliable field test would go a long way towards helping the cause.
Do you REALLY think this extrapolation is accidental?
That the advert company that makes the adds has said "Wow, here is a shocker, people are thinking wwe're actually doing this to have them think you'll be a cooler person if you run a Mac. Crazy. We didn't expect this!
Most likely, because advertisers would NEVER use sex appeal / cool facor to sell a product or use an unappealing actor to represent the consumer of another product. Never.
I disagree. If Charlie Brown started repeatedly kicking Lucy in the head in a fit of long-suppressed rage, we might sympathize, but I'm guessing readership would probably drop off a bit.
True, but that was really not the tone of the new commercials.

You meant driving the car with ads, right?
This is google we're talking about.

I would love to hear the howling if it was microsoft introducing this sandboxed native client.
Er, we're talking about megabytes.

What do you have against irregular verbs?
Cross promotion with Blendtec, I guess.
Listen when he explains the FOUR items that each IED has: 1. Power Source 2. Initiator 3. Explosive Material ...
I feel so damn safe.
Pool of Radiance? Shouldn't you be calling yourself an "ancient nerdess"?

Weak References do this. You are correct, though, that this is not something built directly into the operating system.
I like the cut of your jib.
Not applicable on this website.
Uh, then who cares? I mean unless you really need to watch TV on the crapper.
Except france!
Just like a EULA is a contract.
Fucking napoleon. He thought over everything.

Sounds like you want another Jimmy Carter.
Heh. You threw a broken 360 into the garbage when it broke two years into a three year warranty.
