Pretty much any form of retail will suffer from this sort of thing, such as a person buying an electric saw only to find out it doesn't cut the material they want to use it on.
I'm sure it will cut salesperson quite effectively. You just need to be more forward in expressing your opinion of his job performance.
Gotta talk to 'em about it. If he's just pushing drivel you'd hear in an advertisement, then there you go. Ask him why it's good. If there are any bad points. If he's got tips you should know before you start. The kind of stuff he'd only know if he'd actually played and liked it.
The dude at the counter told me I didn't really want to buy Dirge of Cerberus when I slapped it down. I knew if he was willing to do that (after seeing the shit his boss makes him pull to bring in sales before), he had to really beleive it.
If that's the position, they have to stop arguing that "we have to do something because Kim Jong Il is crazy."
Let's see a talking head get up there and proclaim "we have to do something because every North Korean that can possibly come into power is dangerous and evil"
I dunno, I'm really looking forward to this. I usually get home from work and pop up a bunch of message boards to catch up. It'd be alot easier to save this to check back tomorrow instead of making a half-dozen bookmarks every night. It would also help when I'm just plain lost in ebay pages when it's time to hit the sack and want to pick up where I left off the next day.
If you're worried about a nosy boss/kid/significant other, just power off/log off and use password protection. That be a significant enough barrier to prevent casual snooping.
I honestly don't get this whole "release testing versions to the world" idea.
As long as this doesn't contain any bugs you can't deal with, can't your everyday non-pirate windows fan just download this version and keep it after vista comes out in stores? What's stopping them? It stops functioning after a certain time? It doesn't allow windows updates? Heck, those have got to be pretty persuasive arguements for saving a hundred bucks or two.
"If you can't take a little bloody nose -- maybe you had better go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous -- with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross -- but it is not for the timid."
I was saying that since it was already covered in the DoI as "self-evident", they didn't need to mention that the BoR applied to all people (to the best they could), not just people of the united states
I don't think you entirely understand the constitution's purpose.
It's not a set of laws to "enforce" on people. It's got two halves. One says what the government CAN do, the other reiterates "these ten rights should never be violated no matters what the first half says". It then concludes by saying the government cannot do anything it has not been given the power to do in the document.
I, for one, would love to see more enforcing of Due Process, Right to a Speedy Trial, and Freedom of Speech.
Perhaps the founding fathers didn't feel the need to reiterate that the Bill of Rights was a guideline for them to interact with the world as well as their own citizens because they already held it was a self evident truth that all men are created equal.
The argument is that spying on the international wires is not a violation of the 4th Amendment because it occurs outside of American territory
Wait... what?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
Does it specifically mention any specific "people"? No, because it applies to all people.
If your assertion is true, then there is nothing wrong with US troops in Berlin searching the homes of German citizens. After all, the violation of rights occurs outside of American territory.
That's always seemed like an oxymoron. Kind of a glass half empty/glass half full.
How is saying "do X and you get Y" any different than saying "if you don't do X you won't get Y". Fear of Punishment and Desire for Reward can be nearly identical motivations.

Let's be honest, there is no way I'm going to slap on a colorform mustache that's been on the upper lip of a dozen other New Yorkers that morning
Fixed.

Hey, nothing wrong with being proud with what you're best at.
Except that once you purchase/steal software, it is yours. The firewall can be turned off at your liesure.
I used to like Law and Order until I realized it was a show from the bad guys' point of view.
While Nielsen estimates around 90% of TV viewing still happens in homes...
WOH WAH WOH vested interest WAH WAAAH.
My vote is for energon cubes.

Your compelling argument leaves out the "old dictator is ooooooold" factoid.
Everyone keeps saying north korea is dangerous because General Wing Wong Poo-Tong is in the big chair. Wait 10 years till he pops off. Done, right?
Threaten to sell nukes and missiles?
Why not? What is anyone else gonna do, attack them? They have nukes!
Heck, we didn't all buy 2gb of ram for nuthin!

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks, I learned something new tonight.

We went to war because of a tax on our breakfast beverage.
And it wasn't even coffee!

However, there is always hope that V will show up one year early...

It's a reward-based, not a fear-based motivation.

It's going to be a hoot at your house as soon as your son finds out he's suddenly bigger and stronger than you are.
Just curious, does he see you having to do anything to earn your 1 hour of playtime?
