Yes! And we could call it... "standby", or maybe "sleep mode"! And people could use it when they want to boot up a little faster than hibernate, but they'd use hibernate if they want the system to use no power at all!
Oh, wait...
"At one point, the hourly rate for access to Sierra's network had climbed as high as $6 per hour... By contrast, many telephone sex chat services charged less than half that amount."
Phone sex for $3 an hour? SIGN ME UP!
Nope. Made by Gray Matter Interactive. It's a perfect example of what the parent is talking about: "anytime I hear about an id game now, I just wait until someone brings out a truly great game using the engine that Carmack has developed." Quake 3 was a shallow piece of crap, but Gray Matter made a solid game from the engine. Of course id was involved, Wolfenstein being their license, but they didn't develop the game. Id hasn't developed a solid game in almost ten years.
Summer tires don't offer that much of an advantage in the summer, and they offer less grip than all-seasons when it's simply cold. It's not just a matter of snow: the compound used in all-season tires offers more grip when it's cold out and summer tires are rock-hard. Summer tires are for people who want maximum performance in the summer and are willing to make big cold-weather sacrifices for an incremental increase in warm-weather grip (or for people who live in Florida). All season tires are a safer overall choice if you can't afford three sets of tires and don't have time to change them all the time. You don't have to live in Alaska for summer tires to be a bad idea in the winter: I live in North Carolina, and all-season tires provide noticeably better grip than high performance summer tires in the winter here even when it's bone dry out.
Just to chime in, that's exactly what killed Dvorak for me. It's something I didn't even think of until I made the switch. I installed the drivers and took the time to swap all the keys around (idiotic), gave it a few days to get used to it, and eventually had to switch back because of the copy-cut-paste issue. I tried to find a fix for Windows but I couldn't come up with anything.

*revokes nerd card* No. Unsigned 8-bit ints max at 255. Signed ones run from -128 to 127.
Of course! I got greedy and installed them all, and it took up, like, my entire hard drive.

They weren't made by Id, either.

I... don't think anyone's going to pay test subjects millions of dollars.
