When I think of it, not all the smart people in my high school listened to heavy metal, but all that did were really smart...
But they weren't social outcasts or had any trouble, they just... happened to like heavy metal.
Correlation does not imply causation.
Maybe they just don't wanna listen to what the pop industry is shoving down their throats, or maybe there is just another factor. Maybe it is exactly what the OP said. Every theory is just as likely as the next, right now it just seems like people are throwing wild guesses until one of them sticks.
We will never know everything, and the more we run after knowledge, the farther it will gets from us.
Once (If we ever do) conjure up a decent theory that explains what this Dark Energy and Matter fuss is all about, we will realize that there is even more we don't know than we thought.
This is the curse of knowledge, I for one blame Eve for eating that damn apple.
And that is therefore, a great excuse to NOT do anything about it, since they *might* be wrong. Yeah, cause if global warming isn't real and we switch to clean air and renewable energy sources we will be in REAL bad shape...
Ok, so probably they will be scanning every car that passes through a roadblock, the one that doesn't have a valid RFID information will be pulled over.
How does that make it harder than changing registration plates? Can't you just remove the registration plate with the RFID tagged as "stolen" for another one from a car that wasn't reported stolen?
I should have thought of applying to Counter Strike school when I had the chance, after all, my career advisor told me to focus on what I was best at...
Anyway, anything that explains the trajectory of my Flash Granade?... ("(f^k(x)){kN}" or something?)
I completelly agree with you, its all a matter of perception.
Take the other side of the spectrum, someone who is great at inter-personal relationships but isn't interested in anything in particular, gets bad grades, etc.
Doesn't that sound familiar? Seems like I am describing almost every "popular" high school kid.
Those are "normal" because you can't *see* any apparent problem. As long as they seem normal to everyone else, they are considered normal.
However, if you have trouble communicating but are great at everything else, you don't seem so "normal" anymore, because you are not reacting as people expect you to. So they create a syndrome to explain you.
It is easier to create syndromes than to accept it as social problem. People prefer to deny that maybe the problem is in the world they live in, not in themselves.
I've been playing in the test server for a while, and I will explain what the Honour System came down to basically.
Forget about doing quests, leveling, etc if you are over level 20 and under level 60. Now all constested areas are full of level 60s, and they will kill ANYTHING, since there is no dishonour.
The ONLY way of leveling now is by doing instances.
What actually happens, and blizzard probably didn't expect, is that level 60s that usually were down at high level instances or dueling, are now raiding contested areas that level 30s or so are used to level in. And those raids will kill ANYTHING that moves.
Not only that, but its now just a huge battlefield where tactics or skill is meaningless since the largest "zerg" mob wins.
If you wanna PVP, go to a PVE server. With the arena events, and with the upcoming battlegrounds, there will be PLENTY of PvPing in PVE servers, and you will be able to level up quietly and safely.
I am not trying to be flaimebait here, but as I see it, most people here are actually taking Apple's side.
Now, is that because you are biased towards Apple? Would this case get this much support from slashdot readers if the company requiring people to open their e-mail records was, say Microsoft?
I do believe trade secrets should be protected, but that is not what is at stake here. What is at stake is the freedom of the press to publish information.
No wonder Free iPods and Free Razors scams are so popular...
I had a friend who worked in a Free Razor scam, he would send them the razors for free and then charge blades every month on their credit cards for a price well above retail.
Maybe when someone taught his boss the "razor and blade" business plan he took it too literally, deciding to sell actual razors and blades...
Dumb people screwing up even dumber people... That's what scam is all about.
