d20s, d8s, and d4s are triangular, d12s are pentagonal, d6s are square, and d10s are 4-sided and wedge shaped, though I'll be damned if I can think of the name for the shape without the caffeine kicking in this morning. I would think that using special dice encoded with a pattern of some kind on each face, indicating the value on the opposite face, would be the best solution.
In my experiences, most users don't even realize that Google has a cache of pages, even less know how to access it, and even fewer will use it if the article is available without it.
Bullshit. They will delete your characters for inactivity (happened to me 3 times), but they leave your PlayOnline ID intact, and that's what the game is registered to. While you might have to start over, you are not required to buy a new copy of the game as long as you remember your POL ID and password.
I know this from personal experience, having bounced back and forth between FFXI and several other games ever since FFXI's launch, and having been inactive for over a year in a stretch. If you were required to buy a new copy of the game, it's because you were perma-banned for a TOS violation.
I bounce around from one game to another a lot, and while I'm not sure on Lineage, at least in Lineage 2, I don't really feel the subscription numbers mean anything -- 90% of the 'people' I've observed playing are bots.
I shouldn't have to look up acronyms because an editor fails at adding one to the summary. Since I had to look it up anyway -- for those as clueless as me, UAV means Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
I largely agree with your viewpoint, but I think America -- particualarly America's current youth -- have been conditioned to the point where even a 20 MINUTE copyright would fail to be respected.
If you had been paying attention, the difference is that the user WON'T be the one doing it. As explain early, the forms for email, etc. are hidden from the user entirely.
I've basically established a standard answer to any security question and use it universally, regardless of the question. Effectively, it's like having yet another password to remember, but it works well enough.
Still, I agree with the general sentiment -- especially when the question is such a basic thing as 'your favorite color'.
And yet you use one? Personally I feel that memes can be hilarious -- even old, over-used ones -- if used in a particularly clever way.
The sad thing is that a completely off-topic quote from an author like Adams or a snippet of Monty Python is usually modded Funny instead of off-topic, which is where things start to break down a bit./offtopic
This is one of the major difficulties I had in college. I never learned to study properly in high school, and I also had difficulty adjusting to the concept of homework. In high school I managed to complete nearly everything in class because the teachers often gave time to do work in-class. Not so with college.
Except that it's not true. Even without looking outside the US, it's quite easy to prove. Wyoming has the highest gun ownership rate of all of the states -- about 55% in 2008 -- but it's murder rate is only 3.1 per 100,000 is 2007. Only 15 of the US states have lower murder rates.
DC has very little gun ownership, but has a ridiculously high murder rate. There really isn't much, if any, correlation whatsoever.
I was actually surprised to run a few numbers and discover you were right. My immediate response was to think that there's no way a couple TB could contain that much video.
Then I looked at my videos and realized that, on average, my SDTV footage compressed down to about 10 minutes per 100 MB, which gives approximately 70 days of footage on a single TB drive. 5 of them could hold approximately an entire year's worth of footage.
Your grandchildren are not likely to be browsing Slashdot. Furthermore, taking offense to something that is very clearly tongue-in-cheek is not befitting of someone of your age.
I have appointed few. And no one of any importance at a state or federal level. Few candidates I've ever supported have won an election, largely due to the joke that is our two-party system. Even if every voice is heard, if you're not in the majority, you'll be ignored regardless of how loudly you yell.

Minor nitpick -- Doom is not a shmup, it's a first person shooter. Shmups ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_'em_up ) are different genre entirely.

Both.
Isn't that all the more reason why they may have made sure to build a longer-lasting PS3?
I think you have an improper interpretation of the word 'brick'.

If this chart is to be believed, FFXI is no WoW, but it's user base is larger than many of WoW's other competitors.
I think that often grabbing a cracked version includes not buying. Differs from person to person and application to application, of course.

That would depend entirely on how much responsibility you feel that parents have for what their children become.

Well, the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live seem to be doing fairly well...

And eventually end up corrupting a large chunk of the legal system. There have to be limits placed somewhere.
I strongly disagree. Having sentence breaks double-spaced is more readable with any font.
