My (German) grandfather would have fought in the battle of the bulge; but due to equipment shortage wasn't able to go. Everyone else in his unit who went, died.
If you cripple the product in ways that could be mistaken for a bug, then they will think your products are shit, and never buy them even after they get a real job and move out of their parent house.
I have an older LG brand 24 inch monitor, I fell asleep with Dragonball Z paused, and Goku's hair outline burned in...
Now it's just a huge dark smudge in the middle of the screen, and it's relegated to the 'laundry room computer'.
It's my understanding that it's caused by overvoltage applied to force faster response times. That is, if it takes 10 milliseconds to switch a pixel from 0 to 1, you can max out the pixel (black to white transition) in 5 milliseconds by forcing double the normal 1 voltage down the line. allowing them to advertize faster response times (advertized response time is why I bought that model...) at the cost of product wear that won't accumulate until after the normal warranty expires. The brighter pixels literally burn out, not burn in.
My neice registered for the SATs online a week or so ago.
Requirements include Flash, to upload a file (picture of yourself... dosn't use a webcam, just for the file selection dialog...) and a treekiller (printer) because you need to bring the printout to the test with you.
I don't think they would nuke Seoul unless they were attacked, they want 'reunification', that is, the rule the whole peninsula, not to destroy it. But they are willing to hold it hostage.
If North and South Korea went in front of King Solomon to determine custody of a baby...
They should just fund them based on "We will have to fire everyone next year and shut down because of this dumb rule, so we are only funding for current employees"
They could, theoretically, be doing the same simulation that your PC is, to ensure you aren't cheating, and the data being exchanged is just checks that both simulations are in sync...
Just because your PC is doing simulations, doesn't mean they aren't as well.
Explains the tiny city' sizes, that's all the server CPU resources they are willing to commit.

Bombing factories made me possible.

Peril Sensitive Sunglasses.
An iWatch would be a fashion accessory just like iPods and IPhones are fashion accessories, an iPad is just a digital purse.
(and Andriod tablets are digital cargo pants, while Surface tablets are digital fannypacks.)
Is a 113 year old a 'teenager' then?
If nothing else, the 'spoofing' they use to fake the caller ID could count as felony (interstate) wire fraud.
That's because the Australian regulations add to the development costs of games.
To legally sell in Australia they have to go trough a ton of legal bullshit your elected officials inflict in the name of 'The Children'.
"Traffic has me on the edge of taking a hostage."
That way you can use the Carpool lanes.
It's the shared family desktop that runs the scanner/printer/media server.
I did not, at the time, know that LG is appearently Goldstar renamed, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
And there is nothing wrong with Dragonball, as long as your 10 year old nephew is being kept occupied by it.
I was worried that EA was doing it in response to the bad reviews SimCity was getting.
A popular product with always-online DRM could create a heck of a botnet.

I've noticed Ars being incredibly slow today, are they under attack?
Sorry, your message is just gibberish, could you decode it?
Use good encryption inside, and RC4 on the outside? (layered) Just like my Truecrypt volume on a Bitlocker'd drive.
Wherein you are also announcing the location of some nice new computers that replaced the old ones...

WBC is technically a non-profit, right?

What if the clone gets someone pregnant, and a DNA test 'proves' you are the father, and therefore on the hook for child support?
What about child support for your own clones? you couldn't just abandon them...
Ah, but if the data on the SD card you mail consists of every even numbered byte, while the one you carry has every odd numbered byte...
(as long as your files aren't unencrypted ASCII characters stored in UTF-16...)

Thanks Obama.

I'm torn on preordering the new Bioshock on Steam; I'd like the bonus stuff, but preordering, as you say...
I've read that Bees also use polarized sunlight to navigate.
