"Piracy is estimated to cost content owners billions of dollars annually. "These costs are typically passed along to the consuming public in terms of increased costs for legitimate purchased works and higher charges for increased deterrents to the piracy,""
did anyone else read this as "we think we should be making more money than we are, so we will blame pirating and charge more for our stuff".
maybe the jews should have killed them all when they first got the land, like their God told them to, but they would rather shun God and do things according to their traditions rather than the word of God, and then bitch about the consequences...
because this game is driven by word of mouth once it's past the first initial sales to the hardcore, and if out of the gate everyone is cheating it WILL hurt sales.
compared to other games where once it is popular there are a number of third party cheats.. this game had a cheat written and out for sale publicly within a week of the game being released.
"You can always go up, assuming the city lets you. Seattle lets you (at least in some areas, there are height restrictions in some places, but it's the minority), SF doesn't."
i would go to the door and stand outside it. are you not a parent? you ask questions like someone who has never raised kids. (not an insult, just an observation). most stores have a family room now where you can be in the room regardless of gender.
maybe the thing here isn't vilifying it's being able to tell who is different easily. before you wouldn't know who is a pervert, but now transgendered people stand out like a sore thumb?
pervert verb prvrt/ 1. alter (something) from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended. "he was charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice" synonyms: distort, corrupt, subvert, twist, bend, abuse, misapply, misuse, misrepresent, misinterpret, falsify "people who attempt to pervert the rules" noun prvrt/ 1. a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.
transgendered people are altering something from it's original intention. their sexual behavoir is also considered abnormal and unacceptable (although that seems to be changing).
So where are these "sex predators" and "perverts" going to the bathroom now? Assuming they look like a man, they are probably in the boys bathroom. With your son. Why has that not been a problem? Are you standing in the bathroom making sure some "pervert" isn't doing anything? What about when your wife is out with him? Does she go into the bathroom with him too?
I would definitely go into a bathroom with my young son to prevent anything like that happening, how do you think child abductions happen?
Same with my wife.
I'm pretty sure all parents are over protective with their kids whether it is warranted or not.
Dear God you're an idiot. Gender identity has jack shit to do with sexual preference; and yes, as a result a significant number of men who become women still prefer women. See Kate Jenner's most recent documented exploits for an example
but then there's all that lost income to the DEA/local police/jails/politicians who are "tough on crime"/big pharma pumping out "solutions" like these.
"If an ISP lacks the finances at the moment to "build for that" throughout its service area, how else should it reduce peak load?"
So because an ISP has declined to update their networks over the last 10 years but continued to sell the service to more and more subscribers, it is now not their fault because they can't immediately pay for the bandwidth upgrades they need? bullshit. they should be fined continuously until their network is upgraded.. if hat means no profit for the next 3 years TFB. then the C-lvel execs will be fired for incompetence, which is exactly what should happen.
the bullies are the ones punching people for expressing their opinion. you just expressed a willingness to intimidate another person with violent force for expressing themselves.. and then you called them a bully.
I think you have your head up your ass, maybe you should come punch me in the mouth
i'm no where near a fitness nut, but that lady is super obese and i'll be shocked if she isn't dead in the next 3 years at that weight.
It's the same as seeing a heroin addict with needle scars up and down both arms, but you don't have a moment of herion users speaking up for themselves and shaming anyone concerned about their addiction.
weird though, when you talk to the people who work in Las Vegas they all seem to love it, and they are the ones not living on the strip. maybe try talking to the locals there that serve the tourist industry (as they're really the only jobs there are besides being the entertainment), they live and work there because they love what it has to offer.
Depends on where in San Jose you live i guess, against the east hills it is not uncommon to have both hot days and nights all summer long (and the summers have gotten a lot longer, ranging from may to nov), but against the west hills and near the bay it is cooler and breezier in general where you might see that type of temperature fluctuation. Even in the almaden valley it stays relatively hot since the valley squeezes in and is buffeted by the central valley's high pressure.
that you're a shill and shut up, i thought that was obvious from the comic? maybe try reading it again, don't post again... we'll just assume you will post a stupid remark.
".....but I think most people would agree it was better than average.
At least, that’s what I thought until I saw the program’s remarkably poor score according to IMDb’s user ratings when I analyzed the data history of HBO. “Sex and the City” has an overall rating of 7.0 on a scale from 1 to 10. "
isn't 7/10 above average? 5 is average in a scale of 1-10.
So right off the bat it's obvious this is a slanted article with a bias view point.
the comments drive the point* farther (in the case a full article about how men* suck* didn't)
"Last January a Seattle newspaper reported that one alleged brothel owner "previously had made his living off illegal marijuana grows, but moved into prostitution when the drug was legalized.""
I threw away my mod points to relate this to you, i hate commercials that much.
When you say you don't even barely notice commercials then you have fully accepted them and let them program you completely. good job. If you noticed them at least you could make some conscious judgement about them but instead you don't even notice that the three food commercials in a row are now making you hungry, that you choice of drink is the one you've subconsciously seen more than the others.. oh wait you feel like a change? a change to the other drink you've been marketed.
The whole purpose of commercials is to make you buy something you don't want or need. if it was something you needed you would search it out yourself, or if it had merits of it's own you would know about it from the people you interact with (aka word of mouth). It's basically lying to make money and it's so sophisticated nowadays that you barely notice it while it's completely programming you.
try this one for size..honestly answer to see my point.
name 3 drink brands. name 3 types of dish soap. name 3 brands of gasoline. name 3 brands of dog food/cat food. name 3 brands of toothpaste/razor/car/tv/anything!!!!!
you are being programmed everyday, and at this point you can't even blame the ad companies because you're doing it to yourself.

"others have jobs which keep them on the road all day."
Aside from truckers, what jobs keep you on the road all day?
the non-existent travelling salesman?
because of broken trust. duh?

why does it matter how many users a system has?
i told them that i hate cops because they all lie and prosecutors will say whatever they can to ensure a conviction because that is their job.
I was politely excused. I have another jury duty coming up soon and we'll see if i have to tell them the same.
but where would they hold the meaningless meetings?

cool so just legalize prostitution then?
