Try telling the same sentence "not worth playing for 600$ a month" to your average person
The point is, he would have to spend a lot of time doing it in order to reap those rewards. I guess if one were to spend one day a month doing it... but even then it's still work. It's not as simple as "buy in bulk, run through machine, etc". I guess he could hit one differnet store in his area every day and clean them out...
... to build a friendship is to build wealth, To maintain a friendship is to maintain wealth and To end a friendship is to end wealth.
Take small account of might, wealth and fame, for they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture love within you and and strive to be a friend to all.
2002 Kaluchak Massacre refers to an incident on 14 May 2002 near the town of Kaluchak in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir when three terrorists attacked a tourist bus from the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh and killed 31 people....
There were a total of 31 killed, including 3 Army personnel, 18 Army family members and 10 civilians. There were 47 wounded including 12 Army personnel, 20 Army family members and 15 civilians. The dead included ten children.
(From Wikipedia) I think that killing family members of the opposing army loses you any right to be called a "freedom fighter". Sorry, soldiers aim to kill soldiers, not civilians (and children), otherwise they're thugs. So yeah,I'm inclined to view them as terrorists rather than freedom fighters, even if bad things were done to them too. An eye for an eye makes us both blind.
I'm just waiting for Google to employ PMCs to protect their employee assets in other countries. I hear there are some mercenaries in the Seattle area that are into that sort of business arrangement.
Frankly, watching the luge death was far less disturbing than seeing any (non-diseased?) nipple that I can think of -- and this is after having watched Austin Powers, mind you.
I think Tufte's point (if I recall right) was that tine infographics they made did a very poor job of revealing the degree of the vulnerability to cold, and the point at which it became Too Cold to Launch Safely. They organized it by launch date, rather than launch temperature, among other things, and cluttered the display with pictures of rockets, which was distracting from the valuable key information. So, when the consumers of those infographics went to pitch them higher and decide policy, they weren't adequately informed.
I apologize for the typographical error; I make them occasionally when I am typing quickly. Opera doesn't seem to have a spellchecker the way Firefox does. I salute you for your dedication to spelling pedantry, for I too recognize the value of clear communication.:)
And yet, when talking about network throughput, "bandwidth" is the accepted term, despite having an older definition too. Similarly, "firewall" and "hub" mean different things, but we manage not to be confused.
The terrorist in MW2 were actually Russians trying to start a war with the U.S.
More accurately, they were Russians working with the villains (US general gone crazy) to frame the blame on the US by making it look like it was a US operation. Tricksy hobbitses indeed.
The nuke launch in MW2 was done to do an EMP burst in space, disabling the attackers' electronics and communications structure. It was done by a rogue faction (and is in fact part of why your player and his allies are labeled as terrorists for the remainder of the game), and did not target population centers. The deaths that resulted were from other things breaking due to the EMP, rather than radiation or nuclear explosions. You'd need to watch the "in-space" mission again to see this more clearly, but it clearly detonates *over* the eastern seaboard, not on the ground.
You're either sarcastic, or you clearly haven't played the games I have.
Sometimes it's a linear story, where I have little choice (such as the nuke event in the first Modern Warfare, COD4), but there are many games that convey an emotional perspective, and certainly tell a story. I'm sure nearly all of us have watched Saving Private Ryan. Now imagine [spoilers] that you've been playing the role of a marine in Iraq, trying to stop the detonation of a warhead. You're running away from ground zero of a probable nuke, when a friendly gets shot down. If you leave that pilot there, they'll die. You (and your transport of troops) are racing to the edge of a safe zone for the blast, and if you go back you probably won't make it. You can guess what happens. It's very visceral, as a player, because you have been treating this avatar as "you" for quite some time, and you very keenly feel the desire for safety... and yet, here you are, tasked with doing heroic stuff. These are the kinds of things that those characters would believably do -- after all, medal of honor recipients have done similarly foolhardy things.
I'm not sure how you could dispute that as telling a story.
I got to watch it live in my elementary school auditorium. I still tear up if I think about the Challenger for too long.

Wikileaks did not expose Manning -- Manning did by being an idiot and talking about it. Assange did not blow the whistle, he merely published it, and is deliberately non-anonymous in order to be the Wikileaks Drama Lightning Rod, or something.

Let's assume you get two weeks of vacation, and work 5 days a week.
50 weeks x 5 days x $600 = 250 x 600 = 150000

I wonder if he could write some sort of rainbow table generator. Then, pattern-match the one you see versus the ones you know about.
You could DOS them with physical mail (but probably shouldn't), but very few of us live in Kuwait so a boycott might be less effective.

If Netflix can stream significantly faster to Canada than to the US, it sounds like it's not a problem internal to Netflix... though I could be wrong.

Agreed, it's awkward ... but usually you're moving erratically to avoid fire, or sprinting for cover anyways in those games, it seems. :)
