They only care because that means a individual may accidentally record them picking up a hooker or something else scandalous. If congress was somehow exempt from the decrease in privacy, they wouldn't give a rats behind.
Why Won't Industry Design an Affordable Hearing Aid?
After losing their second hearing aid, a guy I know just purchased one of those compact sound amplifiers used for hunting. Couple hundred bucks and he says it works just fine.
Because it's not a city wide ban. Government agencies are the only organizations affected by this. If the city doesn't want to hire smokers, they're not required to. The article says that each smoker on staff increases their insurance budget by about $12k per year.
"Zuckerberg: Betting On HTML5 Was Facebook's Biggest Mistake For The iOS App". Company-wise, their IPO certainly was a bigger mistake than using HTML5 in iOS.
And I guess in some respects it IS F2P... but it's not the full game so it's a half hearted version of F2P that doesn't really count in my book. All they did was remove the time restriction on their trial.
I believe GP is referring to the code they HAVEN'T released as OSS. You know... the stuff that makes OSX... OSX and not Unix, and hence copyrightable.
However, in 70+ years, when that code is no longer subject to copyright... I would surely hope they've long switched to newer, more efficient, powerful, and better code... That is to say, if that code would even run on the processors (in whatever way, shape, or form) we'll be using.
As early as we are in our current stage of computing, an additional 70 years may as well be as an eternity. So, I'm not entirely certain that GP's argument is quite valid. I'd be more worried about the code getting leaked from poor patent handling.
says the average length of a marriage that ends in divorce is 8 years... which means, at that point, there have probably been issues going on well over 2 years between the couple.
Could this fact, maybe, have something to do with the human attention span? Or maybe the desire to continually have something new?
Interesting, though, that it's the same length of time as a double presidential term... o.O
I found, and forgive me for bringing up a potentially sore subject, that the original Star Wars Galaxies (pre NGE, think 3-4 years ago) was an amazing MMO engine. The professions, crafting, and player housing systems were far more intricate than cookie cutter designs used today (which, for all intents and purposes, are based on WOW). Not to mention that most other MMOs don't even HAVE player housing available.
Sure, there were inconsistencies in the SWG story line as compared to the books/movies, but out of all the MMOs I've played trying to fill the hole that SWG filled, I haven't found anything that compares. So, for some reason, I'm playing WOW... o.O
I will say, I was quite disappointed with the LotR MMO being a WOW clone. I played it during beta, but didn't find it worth continuing. I hate to say, and am not sure I want to think about this, but I fear that the new SWtOR MMO, isn't going to be much different. Then again, BioWare has a history of great games. I digress...
I give props to those designers who think for themselves, and try new ideas and concepts! Break from the oppressive mold of cookie cutter thinking!!
Yea... Mock-a-TETRIS! It's an outrage! How could they so blatantly deface the name of one of the greatest video games of all times?! I'm bringing this straight to Nintendo! Alexy Pajitnov must be pissed.
Unfortunately, Mr. Jesus, people don't want to spend 2 hours reviewing the entire thread, only to post afterwards with something relevant, and find out that, in that 2 hours they spent, 5 other people decided to ask the same relevant question... For, instance, in the time it took me to get this far... this post probably already has 10 - 15 replies to it.
How about just putting a clause in the EULA that fines users like $500 for multi-offense botting. What are the stats on people getting banned for botting that aren't actually botting?
Seems to me, we may just need to tell cuil what to index. It'll be annoying for a while, but once they get good list of index terms it should perform quite well. Maybe next week they'll have results for aes zip linux.
This device seems to have the ability to accurately predict the future as well. According to the date on TFA, the article hasn't even been published yet!
Truly a marvel of ancient ingenuity! (all sarcasm aside)
Who read the title of the article as "Have Modern Germans Lost the Patience For Puzzles?"... gonna be a long day!
On a more relevant note, however, I find myself in love with the "point-and-click" adventure games. The Myst series set a very high standard of beautiful graphics mixed in with great storyline and mind bending puzzles (except for Myst 3, which I only got stuck on 3 times). The Monkey Island series, I believe set the standard for comedic content. I've played through a few of those games several times and find myself STILL laughing at the witty jokes and silly things that happen, not to mention quoting the jokes in front of friends.
Now, being a guy, I will say there is something for picking up a virtual carbine, plowing down interlopers, or taking up a flanking position and waiting to ambush the enemy detachment. The desire to combat is ingrained in the male instinct (my apologies to the female who might read/.), and with our society structured the way it is, it's no surprise that video games of war are becoming as popular as they are. They feed and quell the instinct that would otherwise be ignored (unless you're in some kind of armed forces).
What would happen, then, if you take a combat type game and combine it with a puzzle element. While lacking in the area of combat, Half Life: Portal treads closer to that ground having to combine fast, out of the box thinking, with quick reflexes, and once done, doing it all again as quickly, or in as few steps/portals as possible.
Other more mondern RPGs, such as Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights, with questing features, often require a bit of lateral thinking combined with massive amounts of combat to achieve your goals.
I think the issue here is, and forgive me if this sounds trollish, or flamebaity, but in today's ADD society where TV, computers, instant access to everything, and harmful amounts of multitasking are the norm, taking the time to appreciate a well crafted storyline and witty humor seems a bit to... slow for a lot of people. The single click of a mouse button is being dwarfed by the 20 button controllers of the modern gaming systems.

This is called Planned Obsolescence
Not a complete list, but its limited to more southern states. FTA:
"Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Kentucky, Alabama and Oklahoma."
Well, at least we all know now. Thank you for sharing.
However, while people can expect ads in a free app, no one expects ads in a piece of software that they just paid good money for.

Grr... editors and their misspellings.
"the IEEE will staht today"
there, fix that for ya.
Here are some implied words that might help you make sense of it:
Challenging earlier assertions that Bill Gates got the rewards [which were] due Gary Kildall
And I guess in some respects it IS F2P... but it's not the full game so it's a half hearted version of F2P that doesn't really count in my book. All they did was remove the time restriction on their trial.
That would be because you bought into Blizz' marketing the WOW DEMO as actually being F2P...
Definitely worthy of being tagged as such: 'waaaaaambulence'

Both our senior pontificators were struck by how nimble Windows 7 feels after you're used to its predecessor.
And for those of us who've not gotten desensitized to clunky unresponsive interfaces... it will also feel faster for us too?
PRIOR ART!?
