I'm not a hiring manager, but when interviewing candidates, we definitely expect less relevant experience from new grads than from anyone else. When hiring a new grad, we're more interested in their motivation to learn and becoming a part of the team. When hiring non new grads, it's more about experience and technical aptitude.
For the first two thirds of the game, the best weapons were typically found in the field, after that, you usually had enough money to start buying Spectre class weapons and then that was pretty much over with.
There were also a lot more mods then just organic/geth, but those are extremely helpful once you start getting them.
Mass Effect is definitely my favorite game of the current generation. Beat it three times in February alone.
The only thing I think that really needs fixing is the Mako. It just drove so crappily. Or maybe it was the way they designed the worlds. 75% of them had gigantic mountains and crags every five feet.
Anyways, can't wait for the game, but yet I will patiently wait. Bring it on.
I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much. It's not like the writers hint at it, it's really out of the blue. Knowing now won't give you any spoiler insight on what you're watching now.
The overlap between serving good content and serving obnoxious ads is pretty small, but unfortunately they do exist. I personally spent a few weeks deciding on whether I wanted ads or all on my site, and I finally decided on simple Google Ads after some research. Though I wouldn't go as far to say I have worthwhile content. Heh.
As siblings have pointed out, they can be beneficial. But I have an anecdote of a bad experience with them. StumbleUpon has an "accelerator" built in and turned on by default that loads the next stumble in the queue in the background while you're browsing the current one.
What happened to me was that the next stumble loaded some kind of malicious script that was luckily flagged and stopped by Avast. I wasn't even physically viewing the page and I was at risk. I'm not sure if NoScript would have helped there... though I'm sure it would have. It's a pretty complete add-on.
Microsoft may have appropriated the term but Apple has no problem agreeing with them. If the Apple produced commercial instead said "I'm a Mac. I'm a Windows" then you wouldn't really have a place to complain.
1. Not everyone needs wireless. My living room was already networked. 2. AA's are cheap, and the batteries last for months. I've had my 360 since Christmas and only changed them once. 3. Agree with this one. Bastards.
For the record, it doesn't cost anywhere near $59.00 a year, heck, the MSRP is 49.99. Amazon is selling the 13 month Live cards for $38.99. I bought mine from them a few months ago for something like $29.99.
Well, when I was in my teens and dial-up was popular, the web was a far different place than it is today. Back in the 90's, people made money off porn on the internet, so those kind of ads were commonplace. Now, it's all about Google ads. The only time I see any kind of risque ad, even with Adblock turned on, is when I'm on that kind of site.
You should be able to do a 301 redirect to maybe some generic feed that just has one entry that says "This feed is out of date, please use try these feeds instead." Or whatever you want to let them know.
They apparently didn't have trouble threatening syfyportal.com over the word SyFy though. They recently moved to airlockalpha.com and have a peculiar message when trying to reach them from Google.
"When we tested this new name, the thing that we got back from our 18-to-34 techno-savvy crowd, which is quite a lot of our audience, is actually this is how you'd text it," Mr. Howe said. "It made us feel much cooler, much more cutting-edge, much more hip, which was kind of bang-on what we wanted to achieve communication-wise."
I think Slashdot mostly falls into that "techno-savvy crowd," but somehow, I don't think the reaction is going to be quite so receptive. Changing a name because that's how someone would text it?
Chrono Cross is not a sequel to Chrono Trigger. It's a game that starts with Chrono and has a few loose ties to the original, that's it. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the game, it's fine, but I hardly consider it a sequel.

If you actually read his post, you would know it's more about the incompetence of the government than AIG.

They hired 30 more artists and designers back in February pretty much for this point I'm guessing. I agree with you though.

I succumbed today and downloaded Silverlight 2 at work today so I could watch the games in high quality. Worked in Firefox, but I felt a little dirty.
Sorry I left "scam" in there, didn't mean to present the site's bias in my post.
I would rather see the law making process more transparent, just look at the stimulus bill:

Can an entire network jump the shark?

I seem to remember Harry passing out plenty of times at school, typically when he was in divination staring into some smoking cauldron...
This is Slashdot, there will be a dupe tonight by kdawson where the number will be changed. Don't expect it to be right then either though.
This post makes me want to watch Dumbo again.
