Car companies aren't allowed to tell you that you'll get 400mpg, and then put in the fine print that it will only happen if you are coasting down a hill with the engine off.
Your analogy is wrong. What Verizon and other are doing is more like telling you that you'll get 400mpg, and then put in the fine print that this will only work for the first 400 miles of each month, after which you'll need to either pay up or get 1 mpg for each additional mile.
They were not innocent victims, but fanatical supporters of a regime every bit as bad as the Nazis
Yup, all those preschoolers had it coming.
But seriously, it really was no worse than various other bombings, except for the scale. A nuke may kill more people than a fuel-air explosion, but the innocents killed are just as dead.
That's the main reason I'm staying away from MMOs - I wanna have at least a chance of getting through my backlogs of games I own but haven't played yet (and it grows with every Steam sale...)
Yes, they obviously didn't think of the people down there as human beings. But hey, at least they waited for permission. Hopefully the person giving them permission to open fire was not an 18-year old thinking he was playing a video game. That's the guy that needs to be questioned.
Reminds me of that scene in full metal jacket -- "How can you shoot women and children?" "Easy, you just don't lead 'em as much!"
And that also reminds me of a quote from the first Mass Effect novel.
Alliance Soldier: "How can you be so calm about killing innocent civilians?" Spectre (galactic special ops): "Practice. Lots of Practice."
The thing between Death's triumphant digits was a fly from the dawn of time. It was the fly in the primordial soup. It had bred on mammoth turds. It wasn't a fly that bangs on window panes, it was a fly that drills through walls.
Disable it? Hell, I can't figure out how to enable it! Nothing shows up in firefox (though I gave temporary permissions to everything on the page through noscript).
IE blocks some cookies or scripts, but I don't feel like playing with that.
Oh, so it's kind of like a game which allows 2D movement only (up/down, left/right) at any one time, but being able to hit a button to rotate the field 90% so that "left/right" go into the direction which used to be "far/near"?

Chess and Go are actually EXPTIME-complete.
So how much time do I need to spend on XP grinding before I can complete them?

I'm pretty sure in this case he was talking about the cellular/3G usage, but it's a slippery slope to DSL & FIOS.
Could such bacteria transfer from mother to child in utero?

He's a CEO. Being a sociopath is pretty much a requirement for the job.
And then if your lawyer loses the case, you get to pay for the company's team of 20 $1000/hr lawyers?
sing anti-aircraft/anti-vehicle weaponry against non-armored human targets goes against the Geneva Convention
And why exactly is that? Does a depleted uranium round kill you any more cruelly than a .44?

Let's see. Nuked own country. That's what great presidents do.
Honestly, what other choice was there? Write a virus on a Mac that can be uploaded to an alien operating system and disable their shields?

How many times has the "Your honor, I only killed him because alcohol impaired my judgment" defense worked in court?
I'm sure the cockroaches will figure it out eventually, especially after the increased mutation rate due to fallout speeds up their evolution.
Without over-analyzing, I'd say that Stargate, Independence Day, and 13th Floor were all rather different from each other.
How do I know how far to go in a fourth dimensional direction?
Actually my question is if you can actually choose how far to go in the fourth dimensional direction, or if it's just a two-state affair.
Because all us gamers know how good AI pathfinding is....

I miss Night Stand with Dick Dietrick.
I'd say consensual intercourse with someone 2-3 years older than her is definitely far less of a problem than cyber bullying.
Maybe they'll call it GTS 450 and sell it for $180?
And still waiting for one to be released for the PC.
Well there was one....
Too many hard lines everywhere.
Easy fix for this one at least: Lower the resolution and let the drivers or monitor do fixed aspect ratio scaling for you :)
