I think the reason the OP put a smiley in there was because what usually happens is that one copies the facts/ideas from the Wiki article, and then just puts one or more sources in works cited, whether they actually support what they are supposed to, or not.
I still do that whenever I'm traveling - it's pretty nice to be able to show my grandparents I took over the day on their large-ish TV rather than my 12" Thinkpad or the camera screen. They do have a DVD player nowadays, but still why bother with burning the photos to the DVD unless I want them to keep it? The video-out on my Panasonic works very well for a slideshow.
That's not a good reason. Neither is the one that you give for gambling - this isn't too different from other forms of entertainment, except that here you can win money. And there are plenty of other ways to launder money, almost anything retail would do.
To die implies having living at some point before. A rock (even the pet one) can't die. So if he never had a life, he's not dead, and neither can he die.
I have a similar problem with writing anything with pen and paper. My handwriting was never very pretty, but now not only is it ugly, I also feel very awkward and uncomfortable whenever I have to actually write anything.
Worry not, I'm pretty sure this is not actually the case. IIRC, the earlier A-10s actually has a variable rate of fire, where you could choose between 2100 RPM and double of that with a flick of a switch. Though apparently they fixed it at 3900 RPM in one of the later variants. I recall that I managed to stall out my A-10 by holding down fire for long enough, though you don't really get to do anything ridiculous like fly in reverse since you have like 15 seconds worth of ammo.
As another poster pointed out, "a bit worse" is an understatement. East Germany was much better off relative to West than North Korea is to South. Here's a post I made about this on another forum:
In the long run, sure. But even if DPRK were to collapse tomorrow, it's just not feasible for the two countries to fully reunite within several decades, at least. The comparison to West/East germany was already made, but maybe some numbers will make the scale of the problem sink in better. Raising the taxes in the south by a few percent isn't going to do it.
Population East Germany: 16m West Germany: 63m 3.9x higher population GDP per capita (couldn't find the raw numbers) West Germany has ~2.5x GDP
Population North 24m South 48m 2x higher population GDP per capita North 555 South 19,300 South is 35x higher. Thirty five times!
From a pure humanistic point of view it would probably be better if the united Koreas were together but half as rich as the South used to be than for both to continue as-is, but I don't see that happening. There were twice as many West Germans for every East German as there are South Koreans to North Koreans, and the productivity and education was also much closer. The huge disparity in Koreas means that southerners could just adopt a northerner with their disposable income, but actually bringing them up to a comparable level would be a mind-boggling task.
To be honest, I don't know what could be the other option. If it collapsed on its own without our involvement, the best bet would probably to leave them be and hope somebody more moderate gets into power and then slowly open up the trade and travel until the country reaches parity. If, on the other hand, there was an armed conflict and we (as in, everybody who isn't DPRK) rolled in to Pyongyang, my guess would be to install a puppet government and have them implement reforms while we pump in aid (insert your favorite development path), again, until there isn't such a huge difference. The population question would probably be the most difficult -- do we restrict travel, only let people into the north, allow working or student visas?
First of all, it's 2680GB, so it's more like 2.6TB. Second of all, where are you getting your data transfer prices? Amazon has some of the lowest prices around (unless you count the "unlimited" bullshit on dreamhost or something), and even with the >150TB discount it's $0.08/GB, bringing the bill to $214. Of course AWS's pricing isn't directly comparable to an ISP's but that's the best I could find. Finally, Telenet's most expensive offering is 99 Euro, so effectively everybody else is subsidizing this guy.
Interestingly, Telenet says that they are not complaining, but are showing this to encourage users to switch from the capped plans to the more expensive ones. The trick is that the expensive ones have a "fair use" policy, and they can slow your connection down to 512 Kbps until the next billing if you download twice as much as the average user.
>I'm with this guy. You punish AFTER you inform, and if you don't have traffic lights you don't have controlled intersections -- and that means you have chaos.
Why does this even matter? If the OP gets this working and actually collecting the fines doesn't prove to be a suicide mission, they're going to make more money if they punish before informing.
Ok, but how is it relevant that it was an **IPHONE**? My 10 year old Motorola V50 could record calls as well as a regular face to face conversation, and so could my parent's 12 year old cd920/930, not to mention my current WM and Android phones.
I get the feeling you ahve no clue about game development. By the way, Date slipping is NOT a sigh of shitty project management. More often the not, it's a sign of good project management.
Things will slip for a variety of reasons, and forcing game development to an arbitrary dead line is stupid and leads to fewer customers.
Of course, never finishing anything isn't any good either.
So how's did you enjoy Nukem Forever? It must be reeeally good by now, I'm really jealous!
It's one thing to give sufficient time for development and allow for any unexpected difficulties, and it's something else entirely to let what amounts to 5 hours of extra gameplay for an existing engine and assets take more than three years to finish. But who knows, perhaps they just canned the project completely, or maybe rolling around in piles of cash just takes up too much of their working time.
Then there are the normal people like myself, who have a much higher resolution monitor but don't maximize the browser window or even keep it much wider than about 1024 pixels.
Who says CS1.6 is a good thing? Maybe it's a piece of shit, but event if it's not, there are plenty of better things to do than to bend over to Valve's will.
Are those by chance red-cyan goggles? Then they might in fact do something for you, by letting you already experience porn in all four dimensions! Pull on your goggles, and off you go here (just click ok) or to your a nearest torrent vendor.

The tea partiers? Noam Chomsky? I think W was a moderate, just not the kind of moderate that you wanted.
Well you've had the moderates running everything for the past 10 years, enjoy it!
Probably, so I'd start by recommending a wide-angle (maybe even fisheye) lens webcam...

> Does the electric company publish a list of top-10 electric consumers? Of course not - those are its best customers.
Those customers also pay per kW-h used, so this is a completely opposite situation.

Ahahahahaaha.
Yeah, right.

What the hell did you expect from a link promising you 3D porn? :)

They have .7 of a billion of total assets less the goodwill, but it's nice that you're ignoring that to get your negative numbers.

Damn, I'd even settle for the BadAnalogyGuy. Where did he go?
Since his games are things like Tux Racer, I can see how an 80GB drive would be enough.
