Given that the former owner doesn't have access to the game, wouldn't Sony be profiting off someone not using their online subscription anymore? If they want money so badly, they should require an annual subscription.
It is so much more important to learn HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Schools need to teach a critical thinking class. Let's say you have some material. One objective would be to decide whether the material is reliable or not, regardless of whether it is a primary or secondary source.
Hard drives do fail. Noise is a big indicator, and I took the opportunity to clone my 20GB drive over to a brand new 80GB drive before it had a chance to fail. (Not sure how many hours I racked up on the original.)
Another thing is to keep an eye on the power on hours count. I have no idea how many hours is too many. Climate is another factor I'm sure, but that makes it trickier to measure. If I had to guess, somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 hours would be the point where it might be a good idea to swap to a new drive. If you wait until it wears out, then you would lose the data between the point of wear out, and since the last clone backup.
When it comes to papers written for school... Leave a copy on hard drive. If you have a second hard drive, keep a copy there. If your school provides network storage, store a copy there. Also, a USB flash drive or a floppy disk is another idea.
It is also a good idea to track your computer's health. Pay attention to the SMART info. There are programs out there, but I assume it is better to go with your hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility. Understanding what the raw numbers means is important. I'd prefer to pay attention to the "worst values" and compare them to the "threshhold numbers".
Now, personally, I prefer cloning software. A full clone backup, for the purpose of backing up the whole drive. While this isn't necessarily good for backing up constantly changed files, it does provide me a point where if I lose my system, or lose vital system files, it can help solve my problem.
One extreme measure is to use software like Deep Freeze, coupled with an antivirus program. Maybe a good ad blocker firewall to prevent malicious ads from infecting one's machine.
Generally, simplicity should be the key to any site. Just because computers are getting faster, doesn't mean we need to do unnecessary stuff to sites. When something works, it works. No need to over complicate matters.
With that being said, there are times when more complex things are nice. But, yeah, having two versions would be best. Some sites do this, offering a "lite" and full version, and yes, I chose that spelling for a reason.
I don't know which is worse. My original comment was moderated funny, when I was serious about the thing about people loving IE6, or that sites are being developted specifically for IE5.5.
I can understand websites phasing out support for older browsers, despite the love of the older browsers. (Who knows when IE6 users will be left in the dust when it comes to YouTube?) But, for how long should websites pander to the past? Or, do I misunderstand?
Although, I do admit, simplicity is nice, and there is no need to over complicate things.
Come on. Some people still love IE6. Moreover, I believe IE5.5 is still used by some people.
Well, that's my assumption based on the phrase "These versions include Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 4 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service 4" mentioned in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/980088.mspx , but perhaps that's bad logic.
Isn't America in debt to China for billions or trillions of dollars? I say not repaying the loan to China would be the worst thing we could do to them.
Imagine if they didn't have a golden parachute. Now, factor in that it may be a stressful job, which if you lose, you lose your livelihood. Would there necessarily be potential for corruption in such a situation?
The keyword is profit. What is the most people are willing the pay for an ebook compared to a physical copy?
Ebooks have their pros and cons. Pro, if you can do a "find" for a given word or phrase in the book. Con, DRM. Etc.
At what point will someone have a hard time deciding between buying an ebook and the physical copy? There has to be a point. If you see the physical copy selling for $120, at one point will the ebook be a feasible choice? $115? $110? $100? Perhaps $80 or so?
Their goal should be to maximize profits. This means finding the point where the profit-per-book times the number of people buying the book yields the highest dollar amount.
If you're a registered broker or work for firm that sells any sort of investment products, you'll want to think twice before blurting out anything that could be construed as investment advice on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social networking site.
Online seems to be a great place to practise using proper grammar. (It is really annoying to read an online post in which someone lacks commas, for example.) I'd say IRC is a great place for practice.
I guess it all depends on what that other four percent is. I mean, imagine if someone were to dispose of old thermometers by draining the remaining mercury near a local water supply. And you know they say that we need to drink eight glasses of water per day to stay healthy.

I guess cats have the best of both worlds. One could say it is the humans who are the slaves in the human-cat relationship.
That would be the goal, but it is anti-capitalistic. Those who own the robots shall reap the profits.
giant squids were meant to live in captivity. Seems kind of cruel. But, oh well.
First came stealing the assembly person's job in auto factories. Now they're stealing the jobs of artists. What's next, a robotic president?

Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing a blank post concerning the parent.

Borrowing from social security... just seems wrong. Kind of like a parent borrowing from their kid's piggy bank without the kid having a say in it.

PDF eBook? So, a book on open source is DRM laced? How ironic.
It's because people see FireFox as the savior of the Internet, something infallible.
