seriously, wasn't the fact that it was willing to talk to a teenaged girl for 11 hours a giveaway that it's not human? real human conversationalists would be hanging themselves far earlier than that, i'll bet that's what the computer did at the 11 hour mark

Not impossible, mind you, but challenging. You'll need a good team with strong muscles, good aim, and earplugs so they aren't driven mad by the cacophony of "ooOOOo" caused by the whalegasms.
please, everyone knows that whale ooOOOo's are subsonic
it's also easier to bot a hunter since your workable range of attack is much wider. you only need to be facing the right direction while in a wide band of fire range, and don't need to be both facing the right direction and within a small hitbox. maybe the reason that those hunters were worse than bots if that they got to the level they were at by using bots.
The general grinding task will to some extent make you better.
the extent is only as big as the player makes it since the types of encounters that you're grinding through solo are completely different than those you'll encounter in a group. after a certain point they can actually make you worse, ingraining in you the tactics of solo encounters rather than those that work best in a group. at best you learn a subset of your skills that works best for DPS and very little about how to work as a team, at worst you become a liability to groups by pulling aggro from tanks and not supporting others with skills like tactical healing that get short mileage while soloing.
If you think about it, why do students do repetitive math problems?
you grind through math problems that are similar to the math skill that you're training. unfortunately solo killing for some classes is as close to their group role as grinding through arithmetic is to trig
Preach on, brother. This is the exact same reason that I have it automatically forward all my Gmail to three other backup Gmail accounts, you can never be too safe.
I actually use a "Least often" sort of list on iTunes for listening to random songs. I have a smart playlist with the top 200 least listened to songs, so as it shuffles around within that list things drop out and are replaced with stuff that has one less play. That way I don't randomly listen to the same sorts of stuff more often, and the 200 song length insures that it's not just going alphabetically through my library or sticking to the same artists too much in a row.
I think what you meant to say is "Buy three houses in different countries, buy hosting in all three countries, have three different domain names under three different DNS registrars in different countries"
The only thing less stable than being subject to the whims of the lawmakers in one country is being subject to the whims of lawmakers in three separate countries. Safety is having multiple providers for the same services, not having each of three different services under a different provider.
Note that the "Mac guy" never seems to do a whole lot, just stand there and be way 'cooler' than the "PC guy" while the latter bitches about how awful he is.
I dunno, he interfaced with that Asian printer girl in the one commercial. That was hot
better yet, he should do the work himself and save the money. it's something he can do in his free time and it's not related to his work, but unfortunately it can't easily be done from a hotel room. when he's done fixing up his own home he could take the skills he's learned and apply them to doing similar work for friends, relatives, or paying customers.
the bounceback was probably a result of the stock trading getting halted to stop the carnage, from the article:
Shortly after a headline from the outdated report flashed across Bloomberg screens at about 10:45 a.m., UAL shares began a precipitous drop. Over the next 15 minutes, before Nasdaq halted trading, they dropped as low as $3.
the reason that we have so many ridiculous class action suits is because too many lawyers don't have better things to do.
Trust me when I say there is no shortage of work for lawyers. Ever. We'd all thank you for starting fewer legal fights and clogging the courts.
If there is no shortage of work, than there is probably no need to chase ambulances to drum up more business. There's probably no need to seek out plaintiffs so that you can form class-action suits. There may be no shortage of work, but all work doesn't pay at the same rate.
Law is probably the only line of work where the people working in the field answer only to themselves
As opposed to? Are we forgetting juries and elections, or are you just conceding that everybody else is too stupid to do anything about it?
That's like saying cops only investigate themselves, or that doctors are the only ones who can really check each other's work. It may have intuitive appeal, but it's short-sighted and unrealistic.
It's actually not at all like saying that cops are the only ones that investigate themselves and only doctors check each other's work, because I'm saying that only lawyers get that privilege. I'm specifically saying that it seems like all other fields of work answer in large part to people outside their field, and your response is that it's like I'm saying the exact opposite.
Internal Affairs cops investigate other cops, but if you feel like you were mistreated by the police it goes to court and the outcome is in large part determined by lawyers and judges (who are mostly ex-lawyers). Doctors are regulated by medical boards that are largely composed of other doctors, but if you feel like a doctor screwed up your procedure than a malpractice suit is probably the next step and it's not doctors deciding the outcome of that suit. But if you feel like a lawyer messed up in your representation or that the procedures that were followed in the course of your trial were wrong, than your appeal is most likely going to be in the hands of judges who used to be lawyers. It's certainly not going to end up on a ballot, voting is at best a distant and indirect participant.
I realize that not all lawyers are "on the same team", so this isn't some grand conspiracy. But I do believe that people that work in the same industry have lines of thinking and perspectives that tend to more often skew the same way, and the fact that one field has almost no external checks and balances seems like it's not going to be a good thing in the long run. What are the odds of tort reform and reform of class-action lawsuit fees being passed by lawmakers that used to be lawyers and determined to be valid by judges that used to be lawyers? not as high as they should be, imo.
They could (and should) have the decency to turn down ridiculous cases, or not turn mole hills into mountains. That would nip a lot of these cases in the bud right there. I don't see it happening though with the high number of practicing lawyers in this country, the reason that we have so many ridiculous class action suits is because too many lawyers don't have better things to do.
Law is probably the only line of work where the people working in the field answer only to themselves (because judges and elected officials come mostly from within the ranks), so expecting an outside observer to shake things up is a waste of time.
if the problem is that we have too many different javascript libraries, what are you going to get when you try applying the original post's solution of using multiple languages? an even bigger mess.
given that a lot of the work that these libraries have to do now is to cover for the fact that browsers haven't even really standardized on the same javascript language, the idea that there is some hope of having multiple languages fully supported across all browsers is laughable
At the very least you would have written her off as having had 9 gallons of Botox injected, which is not exactly a comparison to nature. I can't give a completely unbiased viewpoint (because I read the summary that spoils the objectiveness of any viewer), but it was pretty creepy to watch that video. There was a smoothness to the skin that was completely unnatural and was easily evident even in a fairly poor quality video, and there were weird movements of facial features that weren't coordinated with the movement of the head itself.
IMO most of the realism in that video came from the motion of the body and the surroundings, because I believe those were actually real elements and only the face was overwritten with CGI.
One more keypress and I'd be unsubscribed. In fact it's easier than reporting it as spam is. People just don't CARE. Or they're just stupid, or perhaps both.
I haven't seen anyone mention this, but it's quite possible that people don't know that the Spam button will cause email to be blocked for other users. If they think it will just cause Yahoo to filter further emails to themselves, then as far as they're concerned it's equivalent to unsubscribe.

Wrong. Irresponsible people cannot invest, those who have savings and aren't up to their ears in debt are doing fine thank-you-very-much.
so anyone that buys real estate (the place that the OP suggested to invest) without taking a loan is irresponsible?
the people that are really getting screwed are those that are applying for loans for college

you mean the small ads in the back of The Economist aren't offers to talk live one-on-one to a real, fun, flirty economist from your area?
I used a MacBook Pro similarly for about a year, and the battery was only good for about 15 minutes fully charged
