Spoken like someone who has never had their identity stolen. What fine is large enough to make up for ruining someone's credit for several years and costing them their dream of buying a home? Will they have to perform community service on my rental unit? This was a crime both against the system and individuals. One count of attempted fraud for each CC number on the system seems about right.
Jail is precisely where we throw people who inconvenience us. It does a great job of preventing them from further inconveniencing us. This time it should work for oh, about 9 years I'd say. At least.
Actually many of the problem contracts were decided in semi-binding arbitration. This is clouded, however, by the fact that in the last CBA the owners agreed to have semi-binding arbitration and are also allowed to, a limited number of times, elect to not sign the player based on the results of the arbitration, but this is never done because, as I understand it, this makes the player a free agent.
Its a plus for the union and its members when they are working. But right now they are taking a 100% pay cut. And if the players are so behind the union, why are so many pretty much playing as scabs in other leagues? Taking jobs away from their labor "brothers". Unions are great!
If you review SpikeTV without a single mention of MXC, that massively cuts into your credibility. I doubt you have have even watched the channel beyond the name of the shows on your guide.
The officer has arrested you. You are not free to leave. Arrested. They stopped you after personally observing your behavior in a public place and determined you performed an illegal act under the state or local vehicle codes. An officer personally observing you break a law in a public place is probable cause and does not require a warrant for further action. Then they arrest you. This isn't rocket science. Unless perhaps you are arguing that an officer personally observing illegal behavior is not probable cause for an arrest? In that case, here is some documentation on the subject.
Rather than sqawking about it, lets do a little experiment. You go ahead and get pulled over by your local highway patrol or state trooper. Calmly and in a timely fashion hand over your documents. Then while the nice officer is in his car entering your information, go ahead and drive away. Then come back and tell us how far they shoved their clubs up your ass.
That's doubtful. Nintendo fanboys spend the better part of ever Games post apologizing for Nintento. Oh, you mean you won't apologize for loving the corporation? Thats cool I guess. In Massachusetts you can even get married now.
Thats nationwide. If they ask for your driver's license and registration you are "under arrest" for the totality of the time the officer possess' the documents necessary to operate your vehicle legally. This is very important. Your miranda rights are in effect during this time.
Of course, on your application for a job I would not report this and plead ignorance with your employer if anything comes of it. Its much easier than pleading ignorance of the law.
You know that guy is dead right? And that since every content producer benefits equally from the copyright term extension, there are no producers who can be considered "innocent" according to your many levels of "guilt". So you could sit alone in your room (musn't go outside, might see a Clear Channel billboard, an EVIL company, and your eyes would count towards their daily impressions and that wouldn't be politically correct according to your strict view) or you can grow up.
So what would be a reasonable charge cycle be for a device with disc based media and wifi capability? What the hell are you saying here? How long should a portable video game system be expected to last on a charge? Even if you used it 2.5 hours a day it would still make it two days.
Or are you saying that you just don't want another device at all? I guess I can respect that, but why even post to the story you negative nellie.
shown that * coders are willing to release their work for free

And the debate will rage on about which of those two types is exercising common sense. But we do know which type produces more games that more people play.
Note: I read your post to be in jest, making fun of Hillary, anti-gun nuts, etc. I just decided to rant.
Mostly the self-righteous posters at the top of this thread. This plays out all the time. Singles move into the city to meet other singles. While there they want a permissive society to get their meet and greet on and value personal safety (mostly from racism and fear of the minorities all around them) and mass transit. Then they meet someone and move out of the city and value "family values" and schools and whatnot. The only difference is the white reproductive rate. High in the red states and low in the blue states. And in SF there are probably more dogs than children. The whole debate over the few channels on the public airwaves is really masturbation. Just get cable. We really don't need an aging titty on broadcast television at any hour.
Its EXACTLY like the gun argument. You should prove it isn't using words. Merely stating such only works in the echo chamber in which you live your life. Both deal with the moderation and/or revocation of constitutionally guaranteed rights based on the situations of others. In both cases one side thinks because they personally are ok, the other side should leave them alone. One side wants Janet Jackson's titty on TV and the other doesn't want a neighborhood kid turning into a rapist. One side wants their right to arms and the other is afraid of the gang members just a few blocks away. ITS THE EXACT SAME THING.
Since they don't have a role model at home, someone would rather legislate it.
That much is evident. I am merely pointing this fact out and mocked those who think they are holier than someone else. I didn't propose a solution. And I see you don't have one beyond praying for me. No, no judgement there. Who is to say I need to be prayed for? You? I don't have any kids so I don't know how that will help.
I agree that if I don't think it's right, I'll make the call.
That's neat. But you have still failed to address who will make it for those incapable of making that decision and without a parent to guide them. Should they just be thrown to the media wolves? And the current gatekeepers think its a good idea to put an aging titty on during halftime of the superbowl. I don't know if they are the best choice. Maybe you should reconsider the benefactor of your prayers.
I'm happy to hear that you are taking your responsibilities seriously. But...
not just a sperm-donor or an unlucky paternal unit paying for a youthful fling.
Who will do the parenting for them? I mean, I'm not worried about getting robbed by your kids. But you don't have all the kids. I thought it takes a village and all that.
But we are all responsible for ensuring that children are raised in a nation that doesn't just talk about family values, but acts in ways that values families.
Ugh, Hillary Clinton said that. Yuckers. Kinda like the whole gun thing. Im sure I'm not going to shoot someone with my gun, so I'd like it handy for use in case of revolution, but Democrats in big cities are afraid the unlucky paternal unit's kid might shoot them for crack money, so they want them banned. Wow. Shit's complex yo. But seeing both sides isn't as fun as judging and name calling I guess.
People want to see someone who upholds their ideals be elected. Who would look out for the rights of the deceased better than a former member of the living?
Don't decide what you want to believe, Mr. Metroid, then shape the facts to fit. Not much of what you said had anything to do with my post. The Dreamcast/PS2 battle is most relevent to the DS launching first. Period. Nothing else compares because it was the first time EA did not support a potential major platform in the US and the first time they were truly the 900lb third party publisher. Lack of EA's support can crush a platform, but I merely pointed out that EA will likely support Sony no matter what. So I'll offer up this.
That will end up either benefiting or working against Nintendo, but at least they'll re-write the rules, because if a game is conceived with the DS in mind the ports to the PSP may not be the same experience.
I haven't said much about the tech because its not out there yet. But Ill say this now because its based on public information and screenshots that exist and only backed up by what I have seen on the inside. (Are you watching buffer?) Based on everything I know, I wouldn't expect very many DS-> PSP ports. I would expect plenty of PS2-> PSP ports. And as long as we are following the money, which of those is cheaper and less risk for EA? Developing whole new games for DS or porting a PS2 game? Keep that in mind when weighing your understanding of the situation. What you want to happen and how you see things has little to do with reality.
I didn't say EA wouldn't support DS. I merely argued that EA will likely support Sony. The grandparent was supposing that EA would NOT support Sony, and specifically because the DS launched first. I provided examples from history that disproved this and demonstrated the strong EA/Sony relationship. This shouldn't be controversial to the impartial observer.
Your misunderstanding is indicative of your personal fears about Nintendo failing.
I'd consider any results that consist solely of the lowest performing parts of the game to be "spurious".
Why is that? They could go into a crouch-high pitch black corridor and record the FPS there, but that wouldn't be interesting. The worst situation that the user can expect on each card IS very interesting to the consumer. Even if the worst spot for each card is different, its still very interesting.
For example, if one card consistently runs at 30fps at the highest detail setting no matter what, and another runs at 50 most of the time, but drops to below 10 during every bossfight, which is the better buy? I dont know, thats up to the consumer. But this information is very relevent.
It may not be "scientific", but the consumer isn't buying an abstract number on a chart.
I wouldn't misunderestimate the Sony/EA relationship. That relationship had a HUGE hand in killing the Dreamcast and the Dreamcast beat the PS2 out the door by a wide margin. Take a good look at Nintendo's third party support for Gamecube. Take a good look at Sony's third party support for Playstation 2. Business relationships have a way of crossing from one device to the next. If this is the kind of thing Nintendo fan boys are grasping on, I think you are right to be nervous. The Gameboy Advance has good support now, but it has no competition. The video gaming elephant just walked into the middle of the room and its presence cannot be overstated.
If the whole industry is forced to change how positions are defined, due to the alleged actions of only one member, the consequences to the industry cannot be predicted. My company does not treat me like the EA employees allege that they are treated. However, I am covered under the artistic/self-managed/studio side and am considered an exempt employee. They pay me a certain amount of money to get a certain job done, not by how many hours I work. I happen to like this situation. If my position, and those of many of my friends who I have worked with for many years, is redefined under the law by this ruling, some of our jobs will certainly be eliminated.
There must have been a better way to handle this than litigation.
Don't want to say too much yet. I promise to write something once it fully launched. And based on what I have seen so far, I'm going to wait until more than just the launch titles are out there to be as fair as Mike Hawk can be.

Much better to be taken advantage of be unscrupulous organized crime members. Sign me up.

I love Nintendo and make no apology for it.

I didn't know the Canadian economy was that bad. All of that snap immigration after the election must have been crushing to the labor market.

As an employee of a video game publisher, who works in the studio side, and who does not feel exploited, I hope EA wins.
And I HATE EA.
Well, they sent them to us so we can test games for the system on them.
