You're telling me I need an exchange if I want to purchase/barter something for bitcoins? You're assuming you have to "convert" currency to/from bitcoin to be useful.
I really can't think of a technical reason - the only things that come to mind are political in nature (eg protocol licensing) or other such BS.
HAMs bounce signals off of the freakin' moon's surface with only a few hundred dollars worth of equipment. The only way "expensive" comes in here is if there's some hairbrained software patent in the way?
You have to find it to enforce against it. You don't just know that Joe is a drug dealer. Fortunately it's not a crime to see a drug, or to look at it, or to know that it (that specific instance, not the concept) exists. This is not really the case with CP; but that said police generally don't get hung up on that. It would be stupid if they were.
Now in this case, it's even less the case with "enforcements" like filtering - someone has to program the filters. AI might be making large strides recently, but it's nowhere near advanced enough to make such subjective judgements without a human operator feeding in data - data which is Verboten in this case. These human operators won't have such flexibility like the police enjoy - not unless it is granted. So, unless they are explicitly protected, they cannot perform their duty without violating laws.
Well, there's a momentary release valve. It would have dumped his suit pressure when activated, which would have ejected the water. Not a pleasant process, but it's not like he would have to take the helmet off...
Whatever you say. I played the hell out of (and mapped for) Thief 1 and 2, T2X, Thief 3, and the Dark Mod... and I'm enjoying this latest game just fine.
The real problem then is all the interesting content is end-game.
Guild Wars 2 has an interesting take on it - your level is scaled down to the area you're in, and because of this players who've progressed past an area somehow can still go back and enjoy the content. You even get experience/drops that are useful to you.
You can't really do that in WoW, you'll insta-kill everything and get nothing for it.
Quad 2.6ghz Phenom II with an nvidia 460gtx, and I get 30-40fps consistently on High settings (though with SSA off, which was eating FPS like candy and providing little discernible difference in quality when FXAA was also on).
I've no idea where your Radeon stands compared to my nvidia, but I do know mine isn't new, it's been around for a while now. Same story with my CPU.

It's funny how they want it both ways, eh? No regulation, but then they want dependable banks.
Choose one or the other. You do not need to use an exchange, just like you don't need to use a bank.
We're talking about enforcement.

It's not easier?
Place cup, insert cartridge, push button.
It can't get much easier than that.
SDR is a thing, and it's not that expensive these days.
The expensive part would be the amplifiers and antennas, and those just spew the signal you feed to them. Generating the signal is cheap.
Change, because... change!

You do know what "contextual clues" are, right?
Drowning is not painful, because it allows CO2 exchange.
This. So damn annoying.
I find that would be more obstructive than top-left or tucked against the mirror.
We do realize that "minicomputer" means a specific thing, and you would probably not want to attach one to a UAV?
You do realize your Macbook is not an iPhone and does not run anything approaching the same operating system?
Have you entered your PIN on a PIN pad within the last 10 years? If so, you've just used technology that's already solved this problem.
based on ... common sense
And that is why you're probably wrong - law and common sense are not bedfellows.
Completely OT, but your username fits that so well!
There's this thing called civil disobedience. I don't know if that is a thing in Canada, to be honest, but there it is...

Right. So two hours of my time pays for 100 hours of leveling?

We can't do both? This is still fun, though it may not be what your nostalgia demands.
Very fun, I'd grab this anyway - no need for it to be an alternative to anything.
Yep.
Dove in on Master - and I'm actually going to start over on Custom and turn a bunch of extra hard-stuff on. Feeling right at home.
