Or, as I prefer, the creator is an indifferent thing that doesn't care about any life at all. Seriously, with all the wild stuff going on in the universe, a planet, even abundant in life, is kinda just meh. There might have been something that "created" but I don't think he really cares about us (or anything) for that matter. It was probably just spontaneous, like us "creating" ridiculous amounts of bacteria by leaving dirty dishes out.
In addition, the CO2 levels that have been blowing up over the last century have significantly dipped since the global recession. If that doesn't show a strong tie, I don't know what will.
1-60 was revamped - the troll zone is new. 80-85 is new. 22 minutes to finish 9 levels on an exponential growth leveling scale is hardly surprising considering there are 85 levels.
I play maybe 3-5 hours every 3 or 4 days. Its enough for me. That 14.99 saves me from buying 49.99 video games every other week, "winning" and shelving them. Think of it as a financial investment. I have most fun PvPing in low level brackets - not end game content. I could care less about being king of the hill - like you said, I have a real life to be king of the hill in.
Facebook knows a lot about me: that I have no friends, no interests, and log in between the hours of 1 and 5AM from my mother's basement. I keep getting advertisements from Slashdot and World of Warcraft.
My lab loves beer to the point of it being annoying. You cannot leave a beer unattended around her - she'll wait patiently for the opportunity to knock one over with her nose so she can lick up the spill. Many of my friends have fallen victim to her alcoholic tendencies.
I have... many times actually. Every time I go through a metal detector or have my bag searched (nearly daily), the people are usually pretty friendly. It probably has something to do with me not having anything to hide, not being grumpy about it, and being friendly to the person. I found that their attitude correlates to your own... so if you want to be bullied, give them grief. If you want them to be friendly, be friendly to them. Same goes with any public facing employee: bank tellers, DMV employees, etc. The problem is the policy they have to enforce. They are human just like you and probably know the policy they have to enforce is backwards. No need to exasperate the situation by giving them crap for doing their job.
The problem with this is that you are assuming prison inmates have good intentions. They might just be in it for a potential escape. You would probably have to disallow tampering with navigation and whatnot to prevent the prisoner from pounding on the controls or sabotage the rocket into a crash landing. I know its a bit unlikely, but if I was in prison facing certain death, heading off to a planet facing certain death, I would probably opt for an option C where I crash land somewhere in the Gulf and swim to a tropical paradise. Unlikely to survive or pull it off, but the odds are greater than surviving off sucking rocks and adapting to Martian atmosphere.
Its not just the robots - its also the users. So we have these kids that are growing up being taught by robots. Just like how Generation Y embraced the internet and turned it into what it is today, let us wait and see what dreams and innovations these kids make by being exposed to them, making robots a normalcy.
Forget the parents - I'm thinking to myself, how long is it going to take ME to learn this to the point where it is competitively fast as chicken pecking a QWERTY.
A hero is someone who throws themselves into mortal danger for the benefit of another. PERIOD. It doesn't say compensation is a dis-qualifier. I agree that not all cops, firemen, etc are heroes by default, but their profession does allow them to go above and beyond for another human being. A patrol cop handing out parking tickets is not a hero, but the fireman who saves a little girl from a burning building who would have otherwise died is. He put himself at risk and saved another. Sure, it might be his job, but it doesn't lessen the risk of him dying to save someone else.
True - if you want to keep the organization personal that may be a good strategy. However, if you want results, better stick to the contractors. Permanent government employees become obsolete and absorb cash. Its much better to have an expensive, yet disposable expert who works extremely hard in fear of the contract ending (or the client being upset).
They deliver much better results than someone who is on payroll and going to get a paycheck and benefits regardless of their performance (sure they can be fired, but its a lot less common). Not only that, but contractors carry a bunch of experience under their belt. They need to get on the project and stay on the project. For example, a NASA contractor may have 10 years experience with the Air Force and 10 years with NASA doing a bunch of diverse projects. Whereas a government employee might only have 20 years doing the same old job and a couple years away from the comfy pension.
Good luck trying to retain players with a simple, basic, unfinished game. It would have to be one pretty novel idea to compete with the finished, polished, down-to-a-science industry's giants.
One of my problems of a user of Twitter is an overload of tweets. So, being the sane person that I am, I have no friends on Twitter other than a few news sources that I enjoy updates from. Its not many... just a couple. However, I receive about a tweet a minute. That's just way too much for me to keep up with and to be honest, I turned off notifications and abandoned it. I really wish they would provide a better way to sort, hide, and manage tweets. Maybe some sort of priority/intelligent system that bumped up new, relevant stuff over the useless but new. While I'm sure some people love having a constant stream of crap being blasted in their face 24/7, I would prefer to filter through the noise for relevance.
I disagree. If you aggregate enough reviews together like rottentomatoes, I find it pretty accurate. With that said, somebody compile more tweets with the word Haystack and find out if its rotten or certified fresh.
Yeah, I've seen the dead bodies in Orgrimmar as well. However, last night, they somehow made the dead bodies levitate vertically in the air like a 3D graphic. It was pretty wild - no idea how they did it. Annoying, but innovative.

I think the 5th largest website will have no problem finding a replacement for something as simple as a text ad service that is willing to negotiate.
Some call it dust, but others, like myself, call it poo.

Not if the crime lasts under a minute.

Good point. And here all I was seeing was political undertones...

I know. Look at those URLs. I would never visit some site with a spam-esque URL. Check out my new games at http://www.funzeldamario-games.com/malware/allyourbasearebelongtous.php
Only install apps you trust. Like IE6 and Weatherbug.

Quick, somebody make this guy a tin foil hat. The brain control waves must have gotten to him...
Talk about natural selection in full swing!
