As a current user of Clearwire in Seattle and a former user of Comcast in Springfield, OR, I'd pick Comcast.
The reception of the Clearwire signal is horribly spotty and inconsistent. Rain, clouds, wind, SUN... it doesn't matter. It can show 4-5 bars out of 5 and be great for half an hour then be 1-2 and requires being moved 6 inches or rotated 20 degrees.
Comcast in Springtucky? Never had an issue.
Now a Comcast wireless connection..? Well, fuck wireless in the first place. Cable, please.
Interesting. It does make for a lovely tech demo but how long will it last?
Everyone bitched about the Wii but at least you could sit down and play. Can it scan images in high enough detain from 8+ feet away?
Then there's the whole interaction with boy. How much is it scripted? If she swung at him, would he duck or get hit or just laugh? What about... telling him he doesn't have to do his homework 'cause terrorists blew up his school or his parents died or, you know, anything that he as a person wouldn't know and couldn't confirm (oppose to wishing him happy birthday or merry christmas which could be checked against the date)?
I mean, no matter what, there will be a limited amount of responses possible. Interesting? Yes....depending on how scripted both of them are. Natal appears to be interactive the way Myst was 3d.
Is it legal to change the terms? Do they count as a contract in the legal sense?
I guess if you're paying month by month, changing them and, ideally, notifying your customers that you did and that's just the way the cookie crumbles, they can continue to purchase their services or not. But what if you got locked into one of those deals? You know, three months at such and such price but then you have to stay on for nine more months at full price or whatever?
Sigh... I know they said that's not the reason (well, general outcry anyway) but yeah, the way they ended it was shamefully weak. Just... bam! Everything is fine again. This after steadily increasing populations of zombies throughout the week.
Yeah, it was griefer heaven (oh, the fun in chasing down guildies or infected quest hub areas, horde and alliance alike) but if you WEREN'T trying to get infected, it certainly gave the feeling of the end of civilization. All those Shattered Sun NPCs in Shatt made for quick and easy army of ghouls. Oh, and auction houses.
WoW's 3.0 patch had a fantastic world event. Ok, the random citadels spawning mobs in the most desolate areas was lame but the zombies and the plague made it the most memorable couple of days in the game.
Opt out and that means the sort of bullshit, "Hey, we sent you a letter/email that might have looked like spam and could have been filtered out that said we're doing this and requesting you raise a fucking racket about it to get out of it."
No. Neither that nor terms of use changes that are agreed to by logging in (think it was Facebook that did that). 'course if we get that, that means shrinkwrap licenses and EULA stuff would (should) be illegal.
I'd rather have the right to walk fearlessly through the streets that my taxes maintain.
We are close to achieving this goal. Some would say that human liberty has been compromised, but the reality is just the opposite. As surveillance expands, people become free from danger, free to walk alone at night, free to work in a safe place, and free to buy any legal product or service without the threat of fraud. One day every man and woman will quietly earn credits, purchase items for quiet homes on quiet streets, have cook-outs with neighbors and strangers alike, and sleep with doors and windows wide open. If that isn't the tranquil dream of every free civilization throughout history, what is?
Does any self-respecting individual actually claim to work at a "think tank"? No, being paid A LOT does not count as self-respecting.
I'd be interested in a place that does since I can't for the life of me think of any place that isn't being backed by wealthy corporations/people for the sole purpose of confusing the issue with false points and blatant lies, all just to increase
As someone who is called upon to be tech support for the family, it would take quite a long time and possibly one or more of those dog collars with the electric shocks to get people to learn how to use a computer.
They still type in google in Firefox despite the numerous times I point out the search field to the right of the address field....
I didn't go to tournaments (Smash Bros or otherwise). The two aformentioned friends did (at least to the SC and MvC2 ones).
Funny that you mention SSB tourneys though. Those two didn't like playing with items because I tended to beeline to them, picking them up in midair. We did remove some of the more active levels from the random list but did play on more than Final Destination.

I agree wholeheartedly. They should change all the gryphons to crows.

Or the number of beatings is about the same, only now we're more likely to hear about them?

Yes, there was less clouds and daytime temps went up but nighttime temps went down significantly more. If I'm remembering correctly, that is.

That's great. Will the readers and systems able to display such information be around for even a hundred? Will they even accept the same power?
Centaurs ftw?
They already got the body part down. Just need to put on some arms and brain that knows what to them.

Child porn interferes with the rights of said children. I believe the law covers that.
Or is he saying, their rights were trampled but I didn't do it and the images/video already exist and will exist?
Opt in.

Heroics have improved loot though....
I hope you don't get modded troll or flamebait.
You're right though. The system has worked. It has ever since the passengers of Flight 93 heard what happened to the other hijacked planes.
Moooooooooooooo!
Compression filter? Bah.
Sounds peachy, eh?
Who needs GPS to do that?

They lost me at "Think-Tank".

Stores take back console games? Opened ones?
Nah, seems like anything remotely disc shaped and flat is sold "as is" with no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Ever try returning pancakes? Same deal.
Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Different strokes, etc.
I couldn't fathom MvC2 or the likes of Soul Caliber but could take out my friend in Smash Bros who would go to tournaments of those games and do well.
And then there was another friend who matched me in Smash Bros and the first friend in the other games.
Yeah, but isn't there inherent risk in implanting an artificial womb in the mother?
Seemed find (ugly as sin) but still uh, vertical in Opera.
