When combined, it means we're putting the worst drivers in our society on the road when they're in a state equivalent of being drunk daily during the school year.
And I have a simple solution. Don't buy cars for high school students. I rode the bus for four years of HS, those brats can too!:)
You're confusing not named, with not identified. If it was common knowledge which professor he was speaking of (even though he didn't name him) libel has still been committed.
We are consitutionally given the right to free expression. There are already liable and slander laws to deal with the excesses of such. Why should any public or private entity by why of exclucivity or contract have a right to abridge those rights?
If you worked at McDonald's (or almost any other job dealing in customer service) and started swearing at customers (but otherwise provided them with quality service) you would get FIRED inside of a week (at best). Why? Why should they be able to infringe on your "free speech"? Because free speech does not equal "I get to say what I want, when I want, and will have no reprecussions for my conduct." Free speech means (and I quote) "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech..." I didn't gather from th article that congress (or any other body of the government) had forced him to stop.
I agree 100%. Right now there are no browsers I wholeheartedly love, and that pains me. I was, up until recently, a Firefox user for the past 2 years, but the memory leaks/cpu usage finally drove me away. I'm now using Maxthon, but something about having IE as the core makes me feel dirty. I decided to give Opera a shot recently, and simply on not being able to painlessly set up an ad blocker, I have decided it's not currently an option for me. Something spending 20 minutes adding some obscure script or running a program in the background to add a URL to block makes me think that the Opera team takes something I consider high priority and assign it a second class citizenship. I'm tempted to switch back to Firefox (probably 1.0.7 since I've heard that my issues got worse in 1.5) but I think my wife may kill me if I have to say to her again "No don't use %oldbrowser% anymore, I installed %newbrowser%."
Let me guess...it was your type that lead to the death of the documentary form with the wild popularity of "Fast Food Nation" and "Farenheit 9/11".
Never seen the two of those (I avoid Michael Moore like the plague). I agree, people with axes to grind (i.e., not interested in neutral viewpoints, or presenting both sides of the story) are HIGHLY detremental to the genre. When I say "entertainment" I don't mean it in the Hollywood way where I need a fancy package on eveything, I simply mean it must keep me interested. For example "Devil's Playground" was a VASTLY entertaining documentary. No bells and whistles, just plain old educational, FASCINATING documentary.
I beg to differ. I like documentaries, and watch my fair share. If a documentary isn't entertaining (read: insightful, interesting, and informed) as well as educational, I'll fall asleep. I love learning, but if something isn't entertaining, it won't hold my interest.
I tend to be a pretty nomadic gamer, so I don't play anymore, but while I was playing I really couldn't complain. Only thing that was annoying was people can grief you with "monsters" (only happened to me a few times). Basically "monsters" inside neighborhoods hang out in groups of 10-20, and if you attack one of them (or if you're lower level than them, just walk too close to them) they all go after you. Some people do this than lure the group to a lower level section of a neighborhood and the groups will start attacking anybody within reach.
In CoH everyone lives in one BIG city (hence CITY of Heroes) of which there are about 15-20 neghborhoods, each neighborhood being a square that is about 5-10 minutes walk wide. Each neighborhood is common, and there are "monsters" in the streets you can fight. Major quests however are all instanced. When a NPC assigns you a quest, they'll typically say something along the lines of "Go to this building in this neighborhood." When you click on that building's door to enter you (and your party) are put inside an instance of that building, so even if someone else is on the same quest where you have to (for instance) go kill a gang leader, everybody gets their own shot to kill the gang leader without having to worry about kill stealing or lines. When your quest is over, you can teleport out of the instance (back to the entrance) and you're back in common ground. Hope that explains enough.
Have towns and areas around the town as common areas and then quests be instanced. To me this is something that no one has tried yet and could be the real answer.
Ahh I notice the difference now. No I simply solved the function 1.07^x = 2. x came out to be 10.245. So I guess that's simple compunded yearly interest (which sounded like what they were going to do).

Or better yet, buy a clocky.
The author, really, enjoys using the comma, in strange places. Personally I, find it very hard to, read.
Did the inner voice in anyone else's head switch to Captain Kirk when they read that sentence?
Not if the prof is never identified.

I would recommend starting on 1 simply for the fact that it is well worth the play.

Well:
1) I live in Florida, so no basements.
2) I've heard from reliable sources (read: my wife) that chicks don't like visitng you in your parents house, regardless of room.
...it can use ROM files. I don't even know where any of my old NES carts are. Chances are my mom threw them away years ago when I moved out.
I use words like that at the speed of a furlong per fortnight!

Well if we compile them in Windows, all of them. ;)

How is that any different from WoW's instancing?
Don't know. I've never played WoW.
Don't blame the submitter. Blame the original article author.
...before someone invents something like AdBlock for this stuff?

Sounds like City Of Heroes to me.

Isn't that what I said?
At 7% it will double almost every 10 years.
I'm fairly sure that the sub-registrars you go through (godaddy.com, regsiter.com, etc.) are just middle men.
