And what was that as a percentage of their total earnings?
Someone who makes $10,000,000 per year could pay 99% in taxes and still walk home with two to four times as much as many Americans make before taxes.
Clearly we should test your theory. Maybe by driving the earth into the sun? If you're right, something will fail catastrophically and we won't be able to do it.
That much I can agree with, but the style guide we use tells us to always put it inside the quotation marks, even if we're only quoting part of a statement or sentence.
Seems to me that it could greatly change the meaning of the quote, since it almost implies there was nothing more said after what you quoted.
That's bloody-stupid. Quotation marks imply quotation, and punctuation shows the grammar and syntax of the sentence. If the quoted sentence doesn't have a damned period at the end, put the damned period outside the quotes.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.
I'm a technical editor and it drives me NUTS that common style is to put the punctuation within the quotes.
Call BS all you want, but several of the first batch of DS games had firmware updates on them, primarily designed to block attempts to hack the system. Once we managed to bypass those protections and future-proof the flashing methods, Nintendo pretty much gave up on them, since they never added any features other than tightened security.
Several executive orders made within the past 20 years allow the President to suspend any parts of the Constitution that he desires and assume control of all three branches of the government, in the case of a catastrophic event.
skeery.
So if it's possible that the Big Bang theory and other theories about the universe's origins could be incorrect, isn't it a bit presumptuous to say that we'll never know what happened before the beginning of the universe? Science is a constantly-evolving field. We can't say anything definite - only something that fits within our current scientific worldview and set of theories.
I run Windows XP with no firewall, no realtime antivirus protection, and no spyware protection. My computer is connected directly to the Internet and runs pretty much 24/7.
Every month or so I run a full check to see if anything has popped up. I've never had any accounts compromised, on my PC or on the web. I've never had a virus or spyware. And nobody has ever tried to hack me.
What in the world am I doing right that you're doing wrong? Avoiding porn sites and shady P2P services?
Others have mentioned that you can use a USB keyboard to type in FFXI, but you can actually use it to control your character as well. At least, you could in the beta... I've never tried in the final version (primarily because I've never *tried* the final version).
Now that's an interesting opinion. And by interesting, I mean stupidly narrow-minded. I know quite a few brilliant mathematicians and physicists who don't give a shit about operating systems, or how software interacts with hardware. By your reasoning, these people are "stupid" because they expect a tool to work as advertised. That sounds pretty dumb to me. I give you five points for your well-crafted troll. Bravo.
2. The game is user moddable, and this is a user mod. I could do an HL2 model of JT (theoretically) and shoot him up, and apparently that'd be Valve's fault.
JT doesn't care who makes the content. If there is inappropriate, offensive, etc. content available for the game, he blames the publishers. This is exactly like when he blamed the makers of The Sims for all the adult-oriented user content that others made for the game.

You mean like "we'll tax 5% of the people and give it to the other 95%" class warfare thing?
Reverse that and you've got the way it is right now.

I.... I think I've just seen God.
I-Doser is nothing more than an interface and descrambler for encoded bwgen input files. It's a total ripoff. Enjoy the full set...
"More like -1, idiot.
Or do you not know anything about Tibetan Buddhism and are just making this up out of your own misguided sense of religious hatred?"
Hey, it's not your fault that you know nothing about the history of Tibet and the actions of the ruling class of Lamas.
ShieldW0lf's description, though distasteful in its conclusion, is accurate.

FYI: The DS does indeed get firmware updates occasionally. Some games update the firmware when they run.
Or... perhaps it's just a pompous, self-important, shitty book.

Apart from homebrew, the PSP has no future. Even Sony is stealing ideas from homebrew coders.
Hmm. I think I may have missed the context of your comments when I said what I did.

Re-read that post with Michael Palin's voice speaking it aloud in your head and you might get the joke. Nice, dry humor.
Which is of course TOTALLY relevant, since all movies are 100% accurate depictions of what the world is REALLY like.
Shit. I just accidentally modded you flamebait because I was too hasty. Commenting to invalidate the mod :/
How long was the procedure? You know, the one where they surgically removed your sense of humor.
So it uses air to keep the disc rigid... Does it suck or blow?
