Doh. Guess it does help to read the article. I assumed all EA sports games had real players. I own both NBA Live and Madden, both with all real players.
...or they could take the evidence and hold you as an enemy combatant, and never actually put you on trial. This is happening right now to Jose Padilla (an American citizen).
My understanding of ECHELON (could be wrong) is that it is not located in the U.S. Therefore, it is not considered the U.S. spying on the U.S. It's considered the British spying on the U.S., and then sharing that information with the U.S. government (which wouldn't violate any U.S. privacy laws. Anyone else have any information on this?
they obviously have no clue how the technology they're drafting against works
You hit the nail on the head here. I am sure there are business reasons for this, but I believe the main problem is that these old guys don't really understand the technology.
I agree with you totally. Manufacturers seem to forget that these machines need to be portable. My company just purchased me a Dell latop with a 15" widescreen. While this looks great on my desk, it's not something I want to haul around while on travel.
In March, once the final checkouts are completed -- akin, said Musk, to software beta testing -- Falcon I will lift a Department of Defense satellite called TacSat-1 into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Do commercial entities normally do DoD satellite launches? That doesn't seem right to me.
Online carder sites and IRC channels also offer phishing tutorials and lists of so-called "cardable" Web sites that allow the buyer to bill items bought with stolen cards to one address and ship them to another.
Why are there not systems in place to nab these guys when they pick up their purchased goods?
Or, is it that we cannot identify the fraud before the goods are already picked up from some anonymous P.O. Box?
I wouldn't call it bullshit. There was no pressure to perform or any expectations to meet. I actually enjoyed getting away from the monotony of day-to-day work.
Don't let people manage there own 20% creative time. There is no telling what people would actually do with that time.
Instead, try something like a brainstorming session a couple of times a month.
People have different ways of doing this, but here is an example of how we did it at my work. The person holding the meeting had each of us just blurt out some ideas for our business. Not putting much thought into it. Just whatever came to mind. After that was done we would weed through intresting ideas and discuss them. It doesn't have to be anything real complicated. Just take some time to get the gears turning.
The only way this system will work is if we only spend the social security money on social security. Sounds simple enough, but our government won't do this. There is no way in hell a bunch of politicians in Washington could let social security money just sit there in an account, and not spend it on something. Spending social security money collected today on people who are retired today is not going to work. If they would have saved that money and given that same money back to the retirees this system could have worked fine.
Therefore, since our government cannot possibly manage this system, I think it should go away.
I know I am living in a dream world, but it would have been great if they put all the money they collected into an account, and only used money in that account to pay the people that paid into that account. Just a thought.
I second that! But don't require people to use private accounts for retirement. Just let them keep their money and do what they wish. If somone decides not to save for retirement it shouldn't be everyone's problem.
How about instead of private accounts we just get to keep our money instead?
Oh I forgot, they never put any of this money away for people's retirement like was originally planned. This money is part of their everyday operating expenses. It's just another way to get more tax money.
Men think with their heads and women think with their hearts.
Think about that for a second. Have you ever had an argument with your spouse/girlfriend, and no matter how hard you tried to explain your side of the story things just got worse?
The problem is that you are trying to explain something in a logical way (that's how men think), but your woman just wants to feel emotionally better. I am convinced that in this situation it is better to:
a) give her a hug and tell her everything is going to be alright
or, depending on the circumstances
b) make love to her (my fav)
Both of these options will serve you better than trying to win an argument with a woman.
The point of my post is that maybe men being "logical" thinkers helps them in the math department.

Why not? EA won't be able to use real players in their baseball games. That will definately hurt them.

The party crash is cool. My friend got over 2 million points on one crash. I haven't been able to top that yet.
I agree with you on the problems with the two party system. I don't support politicians that toe the party line.

I had 64 1-ways. Does that count?
Someone screwed up.
The loophole that led to this error has been closed.
And they fired the guy.

Less money in circulation == dollar has more value
