I suppose if these sociopaths cockblock interconsole online gaming, the odds of PSN/XB Live/PC gaming is still years away?
It would be so glorious for games like Neverwinter and Star Trek Online to be played online cross platform. Granted, we would see a lot more whining and "nerf herding" from the console crowd, but that would be part of the fun, eh?:D
My Space Elf and the crew of the RRW Cheshire Goose would enjoy pwning their space butts (at least once I get back into Star Trek when I don't have a ton of other stuff going on out in the real world.;)
Apologies for Shutterfly. I recently fired PhotoBucket and can't upload any more there since that put me way over quota.
And apologies for Kessy being in her swimwear for the group photo. She has been parked on Risa since the end of the Summer Event this year, and can't be arsed to get changed yet or leave.;)
Nope. They already say you own the particular copy that you buy. They just refuse to acknowledge this little tidbit of information that tends to go into their advertising for their home video releases.
That is all well and good until all these anti customer measures finally become the industry standard, for whatever product type, and there are no alternatives.
And that is why, even though "shop elsewhere" is a sound bit of advice, this USDA grade A bullshit these companies try to push needs to be called out every single fucking time.
Just give Verizon time to scrub the Internet of that statement and everything referencing it; then the PP will be technically correct, since there will no longer be any pages, cached or otherwise to cite.
I translated it as "Another highly unlikely nonissue is concocted to help keep you frightened of the world around you and distrustful of everyone except your handlers."
In particular, they need to be introduced to weed, if they have not already. That would set them on the path to becoming super star video game programmers the likes of which have not been seen since the glory days of the 80s and 90s.
Yes, I know Pong and the Atari 2600 were from the 70s, but it was not until some disgruntled employees left Atari to form Activision when video games actually gained more than just the bland life Atari made them be; and though founded near the end of 1979, their first game didn't hit the 2600 until 9 months later.
And with some of the truly bizarre titles and themes (Megamania, Spider Fighter, and others), you know they had to be hitting the Idea Bong on a regular basis.
Those are the role model these youngsters should be looking up to.
My guess is because the original Polio vaccine was given away to the world with no patents. When this new means of developing the Polio vaccine becomes ready to go into full production, whichever pharmaceutical company working on it can then lock it down and fund measures to eradicate the original vaccine that only saves lives, but does not produce huge revenues.
"Vasectomies cost about $350 to $1000 — far less than surgery to sterilize a woman — and many insurance companies will cover the procedure."
How much profit do they think they'll make off these pills?
Sounds like an excellent investment that can save you tens of thousands or more down the road.
I know that if it ever looks like some gal is taking any sort of interest in me, and she can convince me that she is not simply desperate or damaged, and her reasons for pursuing me are logical enough, and I find her attractive, then I will tap into my savings to get the snip...just in case.
Immortal within reason. Or just living such a long life that everything just becomes completly fuckiing boring that you want to die... like being trapped in a cage.
Full blown immortality would be torture. Can you imagine being alive still when and after the universe goes to heat death or the Big Rip? Even the trillions of years before the end of the universe would be hell when you can't die.
Okay, perhaps battle was the wrong word. How about skirmishes generally happen without much (if any) planning?
I remember when I was at Kandahar (Combat Comm) back around 2006. We had an alarm yellow at oh fuck thirty in the morning as a possible ground attack. Fortunately, nothing came of it; but had it become an actual ground attack, it certainly would not have been preplanned, and I doubt anyone able bodied would not have been exempt from combat if they were in a position to have to defend.
Also, just because you are in a noncombat job does not mean you are exempt from combat when deployed. Battles are not preplanned usually, and are not just limited to areas where only people with combat positions are concentrated.

I thought that was Wally trying to baffle the PHB and CEO with bullshit.
Nature never intends anything, because intent requires an intelligence behind it, and nature itself is not an intelligent being.
That said, don't anthropomorphize nature. It hates that.
Probably not too big a concern. Chances are that it will fail due to tasting like despair.

Own it today on Bluray or DVD!!!

It is Japanese. Suggest that to them through whatever official channels or forums they have, and they may just do it.

Even though it is a derivative of googol, mention of the name Google will often get the Barney Google theme stuck in my head.
Something to the effect of, o/~ Barney Google, with the goo goo googly eyes o/~
I'll have to do a DuckDuckGo search if I want to make sure I got it correct; if I can be arsed to do so.
I'll just Archie it instead. And if that fails, Veronica or Jughead instead.
But how is their temperament?
If there is a fish war coming, who will be the belligerents, and which faction should I support?
There are two that will most likely be involved, but I am torn between backing the sea bass and the sharks.

Power wedgies and swirlies for the losing team, I presume?
Wow. I bet that was smash ratings for whatever network broadcast it.

Hey! I recently both broke and filled Mosaic law all on my own; and I don't even believe in any gods or other supernatural things.
How did I achieve this? It was easy. I did some work on the sabbath, and then I got stoned (several times).
...preferably not from the pony.
Is that because it might bite off your weiner, or because some paranoid bozo will shoot you and then a fat kid will turn your body into chili? :D
Wasn't me. Now, if your email address had been noway@inhell.com, then I would be apologizing profusely. :D
