In other news, politicians make a stance to INCREASE global warming to provide economic growth for the automobile industry... others blame terrorists for the data error.
Sweet Jesus, lord have mercy on our souls. I can only imagine the drivel that will flood the market with the MTV namebrand on it. I can imagine it now... The Real World: Overhyped Drama Tycoon, Real World 2: SimCity, Real World 3: Emo Outlash, Real World the MMORPG, Real World vs. Road Roals: Online Challenge, Grand Theft Real World, etc.
...or the thousands of songs that EVERYBODY has. The only result of all these lawsuits is more pissed off customers. Its like a dying action movie moment... the hero (or villian in this case) is going down taking shots left and right, but is still managing to fire his gun in all directions as a last resort to take down as many enemies/customers as he possibly can.
How ironic. I'm using Intel now... in America! And thanks to my Intel Pentium III at 696MHz, I got to this article in blazing speeds!
But back on topic... how big of a market is Germany compared to the big picture? Even with competing hardware, they shouldn't lose too much considering they probably have a strong grasp on the market there already.
While I also have no desire to own an iPhone (or a top of the line phone for that matter), I still view the iPhone as an excellent push by Apple (who even Linux fans have to admit control a large portion of the media industry) for a more mobile/PC device. Let's be realistic... while the iPhone is technologically in style and whatnot, you have to admit it is a pretty nifty device and is useful. Furthermore, with the amount of influence Apple has on its customers (half the friggin population owning iPods... even my mother asked me if I heard about the iPhone), pushing a device like this will make even the technologically unsavy wired to our ever growing technological bubble.
If a person was capable of being both, I would assume he would be smart enough to realize the probability of being an athlete is very low so investing time into education (even if its a backup plan) would be a smart move.
I started out as a Computer Engineer. I lost interest due to the lack of people based jobs. I'm a people person and I want a job out of a cubicle. I changed my major to Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State. Its basically similar to IT with a mix of business thrown in. I haven't graduated yet and I'm currently working at an internship as Project Controls assistant, but I have been assisting the IT department as well. I picked up a business minor and am contemplating Grad school as well (for business). I'm planning on working for a consulting firm. It's funny how things change so much in just a few years... I'm sure whatever you choose may change once or twice before you settle down.
While I'm not sure since I am a bit unfamiliar to WoW since I sold my account to IGE (ironic, eh?), but apparently character selling/buying and gold farming is a very lucrative business. Yes, I know that selling characters is a contraversial legal issue, but I had to. Making a profit from playing a video game is very appealing. For those who buy characters for a large sum of money... I don't quite understand it. You are essentially paying someone to play a game that you pay for. Seems like a lot of paying and not a lot playing.
Lastly, IGE actually legally threatened me a year after the transaction saying I stole the account back (which I didn't). At this point, I was singing a different tune. I threw legal facts in their face saying that I had nothing to do with it and would like to see them even attempt to sue me when their whole business rests upon the trafficking of Blizzard's intellectual property. Hypocrite? Possibly. American? Indubitably.
I thought it was common knowledge that motherboard were made in Anduril, Flame of the West, and forged from the shards of Narsil. And there is only one power supply, secretly forged in Mount Doom, to control all others.
As much as I realize that the music industry needs to adapt, its much easier to state the problem and analyze it rather than come up with a solution. Competing with free can be done... but I haven't heard a viable solution that makes me realize the industry still has potential. Honestly, I could care less. If music was knocked back into the stone age and no name bands struggled to get any publicity at all... I think that would be the greatest thing that ever happened since Robert Johnson.
I own it. I love it. It's your typical MMORPG set in the Lord of the Rings universe. If that sounds enticing enough, it should be sufficient to hold your attention. Honestly, there's nothing too new and/or exciting to take your breathe away, but overall a very solid game. Oh, and did I mention you can rock out on Lutes?
I agree completely. Its almost a shame. The world loves to point fingers rather than accept responsibility for their own actions. In this case, the murderers were obviously not mentally stable. Their actions are a result of that, not any factor in popular culture. It probably stems from a psychological problem of emotional trauma in their life.
What would be the incentive to me, the user, to adopt this? Without enough incentive, the project is doomed to fail. Hold that thought, it probably isn't worth it. I'm happy with what I have now.
I play World of Warcraft every summer and quit when I return back to college. Honestly, I have no problem quitting for months at a time but I have to admit, there is something in the game that I'm addicted to that when I read stuff like this I get very nostalgic. Even if I were to install the game and just look at the menu screen I would have the urge to play again. The game itself gets very boring end game but there is something I miss about it. Fortunately for me I realized this and sold my characters to make sure I didn't start playing again.

In Soviet Russia, paper is made the size of batteries!

Kid: Erm... well... *sigh*
Interviewer: Wait a second! I knew I recognized your name! You're that bastard that lost all those social security numbers!!
I wonder the effects of using it on people in a dark room? Imagine turning on the lights unexpectantly times 1000.

MTV as a music advertisement? Don't be silly... MTV stopped playing music years ago.
Other applications... space elevator.
Cue Sci Fi theme music.

"...top five retention methods are: competitive benefits; competitive salaries; work/life balance; flexible work hours; and tuition reimbursement"
Free World of Warcraft gold is conspicuously missing from the list.
I'm pretty sure no amount of money protects the wealthy from the overwhelming amount of crap on the internet. Spammers do not discriminate.
I thought it was common knowledge that motherboard were made in Anduril, Flame of the West, and forged from the shards of Narsil. And there is only one power supply, secretly forged in Mount Doom, to control all others.
I don't believe its a matter of "can I live without" but rather "do I want to live without."

As impressive as it might be, its a waste of time. Lets just wait a year or two before Apple makes this standard.
FINALLY... my fetish has come true! Those pics were so HOT!
