Your soft drink empire heirs only continu to reap the rewards as long as you continue to manufacture the soft drink - consuming fresh resources to manufacture and requiring consumers to continue to purchase the commodity.
You fantasy world heirs however are expecting to profit from a single action with no further effort required...
Once upon a time in another life I worked as an architectural draftsman. You have no idea how bad paper cuts can get until you've sliced open the webbing between your thumb and the rest of your hand while rolling up polyester drafting film.
That particular cut[1] didn't need stitches, but I can still see the scar.
[1] I did get other cuts while model making that *did require stiches. Model making should not be done in the wee small hours of the morning while sleep deprived.
Xerox do far more than copiers. The operate the PARC research faility.
From wikipedia: "PARC (Palo Alto Research Center, Inc.), formerly Xerox PARC, is a research and development company in Palo Alto, California that began as a division of Xerox Corporation. It was founded in 1970, and incorporated as a separate company (wholly owned by Xerox) in 2002. It is best known for inventing laser printing, Ethernet, the modern personal computer graphical user interface (GUI) paradigm, object-oriented programming, and ubiquitous computing. Today PARC collaborates with sponsors and clients to discover novel business concepts and transfer scientific findings into production. Current research areas include biomedical technologies, "clean technology," user interface design, sensemaking, ubiquitous computing, large area electronics, and embedded and intelligent systems."
I know several games authors who got their start by publishing a module in Dungeon. It would be sad if the new online delivery solution undermined this valuable foot in the door to the publishing industry.
Our bank used to promote IE only for internet banking, it broke on a Mac every single time they upgraded the site. I email them repeatedyl - frequently linking to articles identifying key flaws in IE security and asking when they were going to resolve their problems.
Typically I would get some response telling me to upgrade to IE6 (or later) - less than helpful advice for a Mac user.
I didn't expect one complaint to make much difference - but each time I sent one I attached the previous complaint and response to show them that they had not improved over a very long time. One complaint was probably never going to make a idfference - but it made more of a difference than none.
After several years of this they have in recent times fixed the ste, it works fine in Safari and Firefox, I no longer launch IE5 on my Powerbook.
I once played in a game of Settlers (Seafarers) where each time it came to a particular persons turn it would take 20 minutes or more for them to decide what to do. It made for an exceptionally long game.:(
High heels can cause significant back pain and shorten your calf mucles. Corsets - if properly fitted, can give you fab back support, but tightlacing can cause skeletal distortion to the point of organ damage.
I won't deny the combination can give a great silhouette, but they're are not for every day...
It drive me nuts that my husband never puts things away, but can't remember where he left them either.
There is a limited amount of available horizontal storage space available - if it has 2,000 DVD, half of our dishes, his glasses (somewhere), the unpaid bills, rubbish to go in the recycling, rubbish that is just rubbish, etc... everywhere you run out of space pretty quickly.
I am by no means a neat freak, and have a tendancy to be a hoarder. But have a preference for rubish being disposed of at the earliest convenient opportunity and putting things away in the kitchen so there's room to cook.
It might be a little harder for some priests to get into certain guilds or PuG's now.
Probably not. I play a balance druid, my husband plays a discipline priest. We are well used to being asked is we are Restoration or Holy respectively. Good players will know that you can be a perfectly good healer outside of the two 'preferred' specs. Players who insist generally aren't worth the time.
I say this from being a Naxx primary healer on effectively the same L60 build as I have now as L70 (I put the 10 extra points into blance).
You are assuming that people are familiar with the possible talent builds available to other classes (or sometimes even other talent builds for thier own class.
Last night I had another druid ask me if I was feral spec as I was PEWPEWLASERBEAMZOMG in Moonkin form with my tree pets out...
I have passed on my own feedback regarding some of the printer ranges. I am unsure whether we get the same models here in Australia - we get a mix of product from the US and Japanese operating companies.
However with Australian latency, you can't quite shift from travel form to flight form is you are being chased by a train of mobs and jump off Netherstorm... close, but not quite...
Paper paths are determines by a number of factors, firstly - the more trays a printer has, the more places it has to be able to pick the paper up from. While logically it would be possible to move the paper trays to allow a straight through paper path from any tray - it would require a lot of space and would be a large moving assembly that would jam if it got even a fraction out of alignment.
The less turns, the least number of moving components and the shortest path generally gives you the least misfeeds.
Small footprint printers get around this problem by having no tray and drop feeding the paper through a mostly gravity fed slot. These sort of mechanisms don't handle significant variation in stock weight over time, they tend to expand over time and start mis-feeding as they pick up too many sheets at a time.
Now that's just for single sided printing - what about duplex. Oh, and booklet making, folding, paper from different trays for the same print job, interposers picking up pages post-fuser.
Some devices have really clever paper paths. It's not a simple problem to solve.
ISPs in Australia use caching proxies due to the cost (peering agreements et al) of moving data in and out of Australia. While that makes the networks more efficient, it also opens up the ISPs to a potential liability regarding the content of their proxy servers.
Common Carrier provisions protects the postal service and telcom providers against charges of distributing pornography (for example) because it is a straight pass-through transaction. Once they start managing the data, they may potentially lose that protection.
I've been playing (A)D&D for 20 years or so, and we only use 3 books, PHB, DMG, MM. I use the MM more than anyone other than the GM because I play a druid. The DMG is used to calculate the value of wonderous items when dividing up the loot. Everything else comes from the PHB and our imagination.
Oddly enough, WoW has made me a much better D&D tactitian. It also emulates much of the D&D ethos better than many of the D&D branded games - it's all about accumulation, while it's occasionally fun to zerg through mobs a much lower level than you it's boring to do it all the time, parties run smoother when everyone understands how to play their class, protect the healer.

To get the Karazhan key you need to run the following instances:

Why else do you think Apple release Das Boot Camp?
Unfortunately, the smaller screen made reading the sub-titles too hard for the purists...

Ah.. so that's the reason my husband has nearly a terrabyte of porn stored between videos, DVDs and downloads.
It's not an addiction, it's a disaster recovery plan.
