Somehow, assuming he doesn't simply die of old age before this case were to work its way through the system, appeals, and all that jazz, I think they'll end up playing the health card to keep him out of prison.
Um, yes, driving is a privilege. That's why the state is allowed to revoke your license if you get caught drinking and driving, or you drive recklessly and hit a construction worker on the side of the road. You'll understand when you turn 16 and you get your license, junior.
They are leveraging a radical paradigm shift in non-overlapping market segments to enhance the end-user's expectation of "five nines" reliability in an infinitely scalable home network.
Same here, and I'm not exactly Mr. Perfect as it is. What's worse is when they do it to a kid - you know, the stories where the parents are feeding him three burgers, a bag of chips, 2 large chocolate shakes, and half a carrot cake, all in one sitting. What the fuck.
I think that success rate is going to have to come up a bit, but at the same time I wonder how much of those 40% of treatments that failed resulted in the subject experiencing some kind of harmful side effect. If it's small enough more people may be willing to roll the bones and hope they just don't fit into the.01% category.
If you put $1 in the machine and got a $10 credit, I should think that the user would figure out that there's more going on than them just being "lucky".
Eventually, perhaps. I've never played slots before, so if I put $1 in and see a $10 "credit" show up on the screen, I'm probably just as likely to think the $10 on the screen doesn't really represent real-world money. Kind of like how frequent flier "miles" don't translate 1:1 to real world miles. I may notice the mistake eventually, or if I'm drunk I may not. But if the casino came back to me later and said that really was supposed to be 1:1, you bet I'd cough the money back up.
My question is... why did it take half a million in losses and 14 players before the casino noticed something was afoot?
Do you think there is a specific reason the PS3 isn't selling as well as the PlayStation 2 did, or is the market just a different place than it was 7 years ago?
Playstation 2 launch price: ¥39,800
Playstation 3 launch price: ¥49,980 (basic), ¥59,980 (premium)
Congratulations on rehashing a 15-year old complaint. If they cared whether you thought it was "final" or not, they would have changed the name long ago.
Just get a cheapo phone with a contract from some provider, and tell your mom if she sees something she doesn't understand on the screen then just tap the red (power) button 2 or 3 times until she gets back to the main menu. Speaking from personal experience, it may be a little easier to do that than to limit yourself to phones that are tougher to find.
... where I work. Zhone changed something in the firmware that ships with their 4200IP DSLAMs that caused the Cisco equipment we put one behind to go down unless we're fast enough in changing a few choice settings first. We never found anything wrong with the Cisco equipment, and we were always able to fix the problem by reconfiguring the DSLAM to knock off the monkey business. The iPhone and a $3,000 DLSAM ought not to be flooding a network with ARP requests like that, but after seeing this I'm wondering if Cisco is completely faultless as Duke's people seem to think they are.
You would have thought, but what happens on paper and what happens in the real world are often two entirely different things. It all goes back to how many possible different configurations you can test for in a laboratory before you let something go loose in the wild.
Once you factor in 2 or 3 TVs per house all receiving a different IPTV stream, a 100MB internet connection, and some small amount of additional bandwidth for telephone service, you can probably power an entire neighborhood off of that. I think this guy did it just to prove a point, but that doesn't mean everybody's going to necessarily have their own 40gbps pipe to the internet in 5 or 10 years.

Thank you Rush Limbaugh!
Anybody want to claim themselves as an AFLAC (Anonymous Finnish Latin-American Coward)?
I prefer PCE: Physical Consumer Enablement. It's more... enabling.

Any in-game ad in an expensive game will make me want to avoid the product they're advertising.
Not to mention the game itself...

If anybody tries to install a trojan on my computer, I'll hit them back.
With Winnuke95.
And by 14, I meant 24. I even hit the preview button, too... :S

Say mmmkay, because fuck is the worst word that you can say!
Oh, now that's ironic.
That'll be the $30 add-on you buy after the game's been out for a year.
At least you didn't accidentally hit the "e-mail inappropriate material to your boss, your boss's boss, and the company president" button. ;)
Marky Mark, INXS, and Kris Kross.
Terrible games, but funny in a "I remember what FMV looked like in 1992!" way.

That might have had something to do with it.

Because we're too busy beta testing a new e-mail system in exchange for free trips to Disney World!

Of course, you'll never hear the media criticize Clinton.
What the fuck are you talking about? Did you just not watch the news or pay attention to anything while Clinton was in office?
