Reminds me of when people claimed gmail was a monopoly and I had to beat them with a stick while repeating "Being good enough that everyone prefers your free service to other competing free services is NOT A MONOPOLY".
I think it's not so much of an issue for her because the problem was that she was EFFECTIVELY blind due to extremely insensitive photoreceptors, it's quite possible she was taking in visual stimuli just on an entirely subconscious level and that's how she was able to adapt and learn to read this quickly.
Bigger problem: Probably runs worse than directx9 with it's only "advantages" being one or two minor shader effects (geometry shaders...) and a lot of games that arbitrarily lock things to Dx11 mode when they could run just fine in dx9 mode.
High school diploma to apply to the police academy i think, my community college (cheap gen-ed classes wooo) has an attached police school that's basically a 2 year degree.
beat me to it. The people we THINK of as being evil tend to either believe that their actions (evil by our standards) are a good thing and take it to extremes somehow or are so deranged in their actions we rationalize them as evil.
The people who could objectively be considered evil by the average citizen of a 1st world nation's standards are those who simply act in a way which is not in accordance with our value of human life and issues with causing physical/emotional suffering.
The most evil person in the world would theoretically be someone who was intelligent, rational, calm, and had absolutely no inherent regard for human life and no issues with causing suffering if it met his goals.
Ever see those pictures of "severe ice storms"? Finland gets those, pretty much every year, and for a pretty good portion of the year while they also dont get very much sunlight. A good portion of the country is classified as being in the freakin ARCTIC.
utter lack of left-handed controllers, and how about that right analog stick being one of the primary controls for most modern games and it still being in the obnoxious dual-shock position rather than swapping it with the buttons or rearranging things a bit so BOTH your thumbs can sit in a normal position.
Hands off? Up until the most recent war pretty much every update was almost exclusively for the profound benefit of one of those ingame alliances. I'd hardly call altering the game rules every time his favorite alliance needed some help "hands off".
A better example would be swapping out nation improvements which minimize bills with ones that maximize income before players do either.
I used to play on a server that would have the losing commander fall from the sky and die at the end of each round while everyone watched and gave a 0-10 rating.
that's the same thing i thought which to me says the issue might not be win7 itself but rather whatever is wrapped around it by OSX. I had a teacher in highschool that insisted we use Qbasic even though the sonofabitch literally maxed out every machine it was run on (it was like running prime95 ALL the TIME), I think the same basic effect might be occuring here. It's not that hard to just have one bad piece of code blossom up to massive cpu usage and cause a ton of power to be used.
People also keep forgetting that they're using passive cooling too so even if they get the most badass water-cooling rig with a dog sized radiator and 12 delta screamer fans they're still not getting below ambient.
It's also enormously worthwhile to just put the right amount of thermalpaste on your cpu and mount it properly, something which will get you the same temps he recorded with his diamond dust compound (coughICdiamond7cough) with just about any of the other aftermarket pastes.
Billboards for "Toca Cola" always annoyed me more than anything. I don't care if the gameworld is plastered with real world ads... as long as they fit in. If it's BF2142 style blasted-landscapes that ad had better look the part, if it's some pristine billboard for something that just annoys me.
Same, but given the choice between that never happening and this having a snowball's chance in hell I'll give the snowball a go and warn the rabbis to keep an eye out for flying pigs.
And what about the more common case of being a student who was forced to upload things to turnitin or fail the class? Sounds like a pretty big bloody loophole to leave considering how easily schools can find various ways of blackmailing a student into "voluntarily" doing things.
Because I'm not really getting what the hell they mean about how solar panel users are mooching by NOT using the grid's energy. Maybe there's something electrical and complicated going on that I, as a mere mortal, don't understand that some kind EE can explain to me.
Right now all I'm hearing is "Damn them, how dare those freeloaders not buy things from us!"

I remember the marketspeak about dx10, nobody did anything particularly impressive with THAT either.

Or a shopping mall or killing off , you can take pretty much anything to some absurd conclusion if you try hard enough.
Or alternatively everyone could just show up like normal but without buying a ticket. How do you stop THAT many people in the middle of a desert?

You're all idiot's.

Team "senators" get special privileges and are the de facto alliance recognition.

Why would anyone ever want to do something well when they can fail at several things?
How would they ever prove that it was maliciously tampered with/mutilated rather than just dropped at some point.
an extremely steady hand and a scalpel would be more fun. Replace your chip with something full of goatse or whatever the equivalent would be.
