Considering that the enormous majority of incidents in Iraq are civilian militias performing attacks against ordinary citizens who belong to a different sect of Islam, rather than against US personnel, I'd say that the moderator was warranted in modding down your post.
All I'm saying is that in a situation where an infringer should be the one to do extra work to make sure they are not infringing, that it makes sense for the rights owner to bill the infringer for a comprehensive list of infringements.
... he was told that for them to cite specifics (in order to file proper DMCA Takedown Notices), they would invoice Desktop Nexus for their labor."
My first reaction was, "What idiot laywers, no court would award them that. Maybe they hope that the website won't spend the money to fight them." But I thought about it for a few seconds, and if the onus is on the infringer to make sure that they are not infringing, then it makes sense for them to be billed.
I'm not saying it is the responsibility of the infringer to be sure they're not infringing, but if that's the case, then it's a little easier to see where this seemingly crazy statement actually came from.
If I hadn't noticed it on Steam, I would have neeeever heard of it. I remember playing the indy tech demo a few years ago and decided to buy it. It was a good purchase! It kept me busy for quite a while;)
Wow, way to get angry for no reason. Answer me this, what's the difference between "downloading the full game to try it out" and "downloading the demo to try it out"? The only claimable difference is that there is a chance he will keep the full game if he likes it and won't bother paying for it.
But he said he deleted the full game. In this given situation, what is the difference? You are getting angry at him for no reason.
The issue that you bring up is that as time goes on, devices that are getting more destructive are simultaneously getting easier to produce. We already live in a world where very small groups of people with budgets and skills that are absolutely nothing compared to corporations and governments are able to cause a disproportionate amount of destruction. That worries me, as well.
What's the purpose of such bigoted opinions?
Your jobs are going to India?
Sure they are -- you suck at it!
Wow, way to entirely lump a nation into one stereotype while yelling at somebody else for doing the same. You have to think about your posts before you hit the 'Submit' button.;)
The first door eliminated is always going to be one of the "wrong" doors. That's the thing I missed when first trying to understand this problem. Seeing each end state laid out next to each other helped, as well.
Now, I expect that whoever wrote that didn't really mean "indisputable" in a rigorous sense, but rather something like "overwhelming" or similar. There's actually nothing that's "indisputable."
It's indisputable that there's actually nothing indisputable.
At any decent res, you'll be GPU bound, even with the latest and greatest graphics card.
No, this is wrong. I did the same thing as GP. I upgraded my video card from a Radeon X1900 to a new Nvidia GTX 280. This is running at 1680x1050 (maybe that counts as low res in your book?) Then, a couple weeks later I upgraded from an Athlon 4200+ to a new Intel Quad Core Q9550. The difference in stuttering and frame rate in games was around the 30% mentioned above. Oblivion's frame rate was among the greatest improved out of all games from the CPU upgrade.
In short, parent doesn't know what he's talking about. Grandparent was the one who was right.
Funny Colbert. It was the reason the Elephant page was locked on Wikipedia for so long. Colbert asked his viewers to go on the page and edit it to say that the numbers of elephants have tripled in the last six months.
* Free! Free! / a trip to Mars / for 900 / empty jars / Burma-Shave
One respondent, Arlyss French, who was the owner of a Red Owl grocery store, did submit 900 empty jars; the company replied: "If a trip to Mars you earn, remember, friend, there's no return." After he collected 900 more jars for the return trip, the company, on the recommendation of Red Owl's publicity team, sent him on vacation to the town of Moers (often pronounced "Mars" by foreigners) near Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Use Google Earth, and click the "sky" button. It's like Google Earth, but for the sky. Many different sources are mosaic-ed into it, and you can see how big some of these cosmic objects are from our vantage point, such as how much of an area of the sky this Deep Field image took in.
Nothing looks lossy when you put it at 642x516 pixels like the tiny, tiny image you provided. Try it with any deep field photo. You can also take video game screens and make them thumbnail size, and they look real.

Well, I'll tell you what, my friend. IV is a roman numeral, so despite your best efforts, you have won! And you wagered...
Thanks for your informative post. ;)

I'm also not saying that Toyota is doing a good thing. They aren't, so don't get angry at me just because I posted as devil's advocate! ;)

They're only CPU bound at low-res.

That was it. You missed it.
Well, they're now allowed to use SONAR in all operational environments for training purposes, provided they use one ping only.
ONE. Ping. Only.

So what, you win the award for posting the most misunderstanding reply today?
Great explanation, thanks a lot!

I've only got 640k RAM, you intransitive clod!
