Not to mention the hero seemed to make the game play more like diablo and less like warcraft. It seemed the only strategy was to figure out how to get your hero to level 9 and mass minions for fodder.
Is it theft when you download music that is completely unavailable anywhere else? Napster gave me access to bootlegs and B-sides that I have never been able to find anywhere else.
I doubt that an executive would be able to relate the addition of product placement to a drop in revenue. What is a more probable scenario is that they would compensate the loss of sales with revenue from the product placement.
Not only is our vote worthless, but what difference has there been between candidates in recent elections? They both take bribes... err... contributions from the same companies, they both want to blow our tax money on programs that result in little to no advancement in society. The only time I vote is to prevent someone who is a total waste from taking office.
Why not develop something like this for automobiles? Laptops and cellphones don't make sense, unless they can only eeek a minimal amount of power out this technology.
At least by putting them into cars, you can add all of the appropriate safety measures to ensure minimal access to the materials. Things like build really large impenetrable boxes to enusre proper use / disposal.

I don't think it reduces their motivation. Actually, I think it might increase it now.
Think about it, with a guaranteed upgrade revenue stream, the pressure is off of them to release a new version every other year to keep profits up. It might actually allow them to focus on quality (yeah right) and actually put features in the OS people really want.
My brother says they even charge print jobs by the page, even though the paper and ink still need to be purchased by the Navy.
It may take a while, but this will implode into a beautiful Enron like flurry... Bribes... Deciet... and a bunch of rich people building 10Million Dollar homes.
2) The concessions are too expensive, but they're GOOD. Come on, admit it. Big ol' tub of popcorn ("Do you want butter on that?" "No thanks, just give me that same yellow swill you put on everybody else's")... a huge box of Raisinettes or a Crunch Bar. You're eating like there's no tomorrow and it doesn't matter. Popcorn all over your tummy by the end of the movie? Just stand up, brush it off, and walk out. Not your problem.
I would probably consider your theatre one of the rare ones. These days 5 bucks will get you a ziploc bag full of popcorn, and 5 bucks will get you a half liter of soda. About the only thing a theatre has going for it is the crowd and the size of the screen. If they keep jacking prices through the roof, then theatres will die, but DVD sales will more than compensate a movie studio for the loss of theatre revenue. The only folks who will really lose, are the pimply faced teens who barely speak english through all of thier mumbling.
WP does have a trait of being the canary in the coal mine: in general, if it's unstable, the real problem is that you need to update BIOS and/or drivers.
While I agree with you WP was very susceptible to driver issues, it was not the only factor in WP's stability. I have worked with Corel support on-site to resolve issues, and found that they were too quick to blame things on machine configurations.
Too bad Corel pulled the native version of WP8 for linux off of their website. I found it to be one of the more stable versions available.
I agree with mandatory military / federal service. I think that every individual should contribute at least one year to serving the country in some fashion. Would save alot of aggrevation on the soldiers parts when pop culture feels a war is not politically correct.
And for the use of data gained while in the military, I doubt that any single organization would have the manpower to sort through every single file profiling individuals. About the only profiling that would occur would be the type of discharge recieved, and you have to try to screw up to screw up the type of discharge you recieve.
That's what I did when the shop I worked for wouldn't allow Linux on the network. I spent my own time installing and configuring a box to support their configuration.
I'm sure that if you set the Macs up without making additional work for the IT department, they won't notice, and when they do find out, it will be much easier to argue that they won't affect anything.
What kind of research have you conducted to find out what consumers want from Windows?
All I seem to hear is that your customers want these "innovations" (incompatible protocols, activeX, etc...) I know that if you asked most people on this list what they wanted, Windows would be a completely different product.
For SSL, why would anyone with the ability to perform such an attack bother with a single session? With the amount of time you would take getting all aspects of the attack coordinated, why not just take on the server directly? The only way I would see this pay off is if you where going after SSH, but the shear number of SSL connections that you would have to filter through would make this an excercise in futility.
Would you be as willing to support action against the record companies to reduce CD prices?
It seems to me that when CD's first came out, they were cheaper than they are now. It just seems to follow that if CD's were cheaper, then there would be less of a need for Napster.
I really like the articles way of putting down Netware's strengths. Things like: About Win2k's MMC: "The console is easy to use and lets you configure many local server elements, including users, disks, and system settings such as time and date." About ConsoleOne: "We think ConsoleOne's interface is a bit unsophisticated, but it works well enough for those who must have a Windows- based manager." I'm a little confused. Must be easy to use, but not too easy? I dunno if anyone has played with the Win2k MMC, but easy to use in not something I would associate with it. It seems that to get anything done, you have to have two or three MMC's open at the same time. Other personal favorites include the System monitor in Win2k vs Novell's monitor. With Win2k, you don't need any training to get useful data. Just run this monitor, and let uncle Bill do the rest. About the Novell monitor: "If you know what to look for, it can be a powerful tool for diagnosing bottlenecks in the system. Learning the meaning of each of the monitor parameters is a bit of a challenge, though." Anyway, it is apparent who pays the writers

Just use twin co-ax... there should be plenty of that lying around these days.

Of course, pigs could fly too.
According to Headline News, 5 or 6 of the internet's World Wide Web servers were attacked...
Man, I never realized how important my apache server was...
My brother says they even charge print jobs by the page, even though the paper and ink still need to be purchased by the Navy.
It may take a while, but this will implode into a beautiful Enron like flurry... Bribes... Deciet... and a bunch of rich people building 10Million Dollar homes.

Yeah, I think the scary part is that corps would have a default firewall rule to allow all to pass...
Isn't the idea of a firewall to drop all unknown communication, and allow only needed coms?
They only nabbed those four because they were late on there "insurance" payments...
What a cool source of revenue for oppressed countries. Charge the providers to sell their services.
I bet you that it takes less than one season for this show to pull a stunt like they did in Space Above and Beyond.
Anyone else remember the visit to the "pleasure" station. Ice Tea (or whatever pathetic rapper they threw in) in space?

Still could fall in. granted, it would take some actually effort, but could be done.
9) Why are manhole covers round?
It's the only shape that won't fall through the hole.
Wouldn't you just be mirroring if you wrote user data to the log?
That's what I did when the shop I worked for wouldn't allow Linux on the network. I spent my own time installing and configuring a box to support their configuration.
