This is why I don't think Blizzard will make a Starcraft or Diablo MMORPG. Nobody would leave WoW to start over.
Of course they are going to make Starcraft or Diablo into an MMORPG. Their parent company, Vivendi, says "hey you guys are making a ton of money with this WoW thing. Can you do more of that sort of stuff?" Then Blizzard says, "well yes we can do more of it." Then Vivendi says "ok then do more of it right now - we will give you as much resources as you need just make us more profitable so our stock will go up"
The way this story is written makes me think that the whole thing is a troll. When was the last time you've heard of any customer service rep hanging up on a person? Never. They'd get fired for it.
I've had it done myself after some extensive shopping around and research. If the doctor suggested there was a high (10%) possibility of halos or other effects, I did not do it. Finally I found one who was getting some new equipment in half a year which would increase the treatment area and he felt would produce good results. I have had no trouble with my eyesight since then and that was 4 years ago.
But to respond to your worries, they do give you drugs to calm you down if you want them (I would recommend it) although they do not put you under you have to stare at a light while the laser goes to work on your eye. The actual worst part is when they cut the flap - they had to wait a few minutes while my eyes dialated, so for a little while had a flap cut in my eye and was just sitting in a chair in a dark room. But altogether it took only half an hour and it was time extremely well spent.
This is all meaningless hyperbole. For example, who can consider working on Apple products "work"? Instead it is like Christmas play time every day. When you work on an Apple product, you are like an elf in Santa's north pole! Sure you only get 50 bucks a month, but you can go visit the marmalade forest and make bubblegum pie whenever you want!
And furthermore, you get good karma which ensures that you will go to heaven and receive 72 virgin powerbooks with infinite Altivec and a double dual core. We should be envious of these lucky women. They are an inspiration to us all.
Great, so now my idiot neighbors can make even more interference, and this time whenever they tune in to see Lost, I'll lose my internet connection. Will I at least be able to see what they are seeing?
I use a different technique because a lot of my spreadsheets (each of which I could probably remake in a day at most) are too complicated to simply check all of the data behind with a calculator. It would take you weeks to do it, and the report has to go out every day.
Instead I made it so that if the spreadsheet has a problem at all, that it fails catastrophically and visibly, and contains an indication of where the problem was. It also compares sections of the output to related other outputs to be sure they maintain a known relationship. This seems like a ton of work to put together, but once you do it you don't have to worry nearly as much about what you are putting out as a finished product to your coworkers.

Sorry to be such a niggle though.
It is relatively easy to improve FP performance with a small investment of die space and power. The reason it isn't so good is that this is a mobile computer, so it doesn't really need high peformace FPU's. A desktop version would probably have comparable performance, but probably not significantly better than AMD's.
I thought the real issue with overclocking the Intel chip is that overclocking it was very easy given a stock heatsink and fan - that means that intel can sell the chips at a higher speed with literally no difference other than the voltage the cpu operates at.
And I know the slashdot crowd loves AMD - and I loved their chips for the last few years - but it looks like now the value / performance is strongly in intel's favor, or will be by this fall.
OH MY GOD it is not just a hunter weapon you jerk because paladins can use +agil just as much because they need all the crit% that they can get! If I saw a hunter roll on a Banhammer I would be so pissed I would track him down and beat the crap out of him and also never group with him again and probably complain in the realm forums!
Btw what is the drop rate because I have been farming this thing for 3 days and it still hasn't dropped!
Their approach was actually slightly different - they warned the EU that this was going to happen, and then they didn't perform the same gaming because it is unethical. They are betting that the EU will turn around and take the domains away from unethical companies, and then redo the process with the new domains. Their goal now is to force the EU to kick out the unethical companies. They have a longer term outlook than the jerks who tried to cheat the system.
You seem to be assuming that they definitely cause cancer and the truth is being covered up. From what I have read in the book Freakonomics, cell phones have no influence on the overall rate of brain cancer. Since that book says some pretty non-PC things, I doubt they would have worried about what a couple cell phone companies thought about what they were saying. By saying that the truth is unknown at this time flies right in the face of work done in the field that shows no influence - you are in essence ignoring research just as much as global warming disbelievers are.
I know I'll be modded down for saying this - but what the RIAA is offering is quite a deal if you are actually guilty of copyright infringement. 4 grand is absolutely nothing in comparison to how much they could legitimately attempt to collect. At no time does she say that she didn't perform copyright infringement. She seems to be saying that it is unfair for them to punish her because it is inconvenient at this time. That's why they call it punishment.

Thank you, I will decide if editorials are of value. This is where slashdotters tell me that the editor is "really dumb" or "biased"... let me SEE AND READ, and I will decide if it is impressive to me.
A look at the wikipedia article suggests otherwise. "The Lost Vikings is a side-scrolling puzzle/platform video game which was developed by Blizzard Entertainment (then known as "Silicon & Synapse") and released in 1992 by publisher Interplay Entertainment." So Interplay was the publisher, not the developer.
As they already burn cow dung there is next to no change in their environment. However this is missing the larger issue - do you really think that cutting down trees and burning some poop is worse than giving people clean water? Since 1 kW is not much in the way of energy, the power generator will not use much fuel either. And solar is expensive. When you suggest that they need to develop the land more due to the population (which is probably very low) how exactly is this not developing the land? Any increase in health will result in an increase in productivity. Adding in electric power can increase the productivity of a village by a huge amount. The more efficient their work is, the more free time they will have, and the more they will improve their surroundings. Begrudging some poor people in undeveloped countries 1 kW for an entire village and clean water is about the silliest thing I have ever heard.

The thing about Japanese people is that they're Japanese.

So Interplay was the publisher, not the developer.
Also, they made the lost vikings and rock and roll racing for the super nintendo. I loved those games when I was a kid.
According to the wiki the Fallout MMO rights are still owned by Interplay.
