In practice not so much. My experience with long term storage of food is that eventually, within 10 years or so the long shelf life food is compromised due to packaging failures or the food turns out to indeed have pests already in them.
You forget how people will get. If they can't have it then you sure as Bob will not be allowed to have it. They can't shoot you out? Then they will just burn you in.
Diablo 2 did not flourish because it was multiplayer. Diablo 2 flourished because it was multiplayer with enough rudimentary social tools to facilitate user communities (custom/private channels). Because of those it was possible to quickly form friendships and to communicate with friends in a one to many pathed channel. Diablo 3 does not have this. Diablo 3 only has the friend list and the only one to many pathed channel is in a 4 player game instance which is not nearly enough. If Diablo 3 had added guildhall/clanhall support it probably would have done better. If it had at least carried over the old bnet chat style private/custom chat channels (which are, incidently, available in World of Warcraft to a degree) it might have done better. As it is they misunderstood why Diablo 2 did as well as it did. It is the human social element that got nerfed in Diablo 3.
Not day one but eventually someone had their way and the direction changed. They still have things embedded in the game that point to and even talk about a single player mode that is NOT online (a message pops up about exactly this from the tips generator once in a while).
They can do what they want with the game to generate cash and they did -- they went with the short term cash grab to fund something else apparently. Most of my friends that played D3 and enjoyed D3 are also now done with D3.
I don't watch much TV but I watch plenty of movies on my large screen panasonic -- it is only connected to broadcast (for local news/traffic/weather which is all the programming I need/want).
This is also why I stopped playing Diablo 3. Despite providing friend lists and the ability to see as a list everyone you grouped with it did not provide key social tools of pretty much any kind to form meta-circles of friends. No private or custom channels. No group/guild/clan support of any kind. Diablo 3 is much diminished socially from Diablo 2. I found it easy to make friends in Diablo 2. It was even easier in WoW. Diablo 3 made it hard. SWToR was so diffuse at the time that I was playing it that it made it hard to interract socially. I played WoW, Diablo 2, muds and neverwinter nights 1 persistant worlds long after I was over the games due to social connects there. I haven't had this happen in any other games yet.
Tolkien was also detail oriented and picky about small details. Part of of that probably had to do with him being a linguist and having an idea of how the fictional languages of his evolved over fictional time (along with the fictional, evolving cultures that produced them) all of which was important to him in how he framed the historical context of the Lord of the Rings and led up to the circumstances so exhibited in his books.
Yep. I wish the rights could go to one of the better Japanese anime studios to see what they could do with it. They tend to treat source material with appropriate care and are way more sensitive to mythological and/or epic bodies of work instead of trying to modernize it they find ways to accommodate it.

Luthien took on Morgoth if you recall and managed to help squirrel away one of the three Silmarils from his crown.
And Luthien Tinuviel. And the meeting of Luthien and Beren where Beren sees her dancing was based off a real life event between Tolkien and his wife.
No more than stupid than when people skipped Vista. In other words, no.
You might hate it, but you're gonna look really stupid if you don't know how to use Windows 8.
That would be nice if they existed. The infrastructure here is OLD.
Even dried the stuff degrades over time. After 5 years it is pretty nasty.

Yes it does. It just does not allow you to be free of consequences of your actions.
Possible. All I can say is as an end user where I work things are broken for the 7 users and not broken for the XP users.
This is microsoft shifting the nature of the OS from what it has been historically to a marketing app-fest.
This has nothing to do with enterprise IT. This has more to do with the app store that comes with windows 8.
Win 7 is great at home but it is not all roses for enterprise.
Some of them are deploying Windows 7 enterprise and having a really crappy time of it.

...shark teeth are just as weak as human teeth.
However sharks replace their teeth throughout their life.
Market correction.

I'd rather pay than see ads.
I like how the label list is dynamic as all heck making it a pain to accurately click on a specific label.

As long as Thorin isn't just a short gandalf. He was grumpy and stand off-ish, but hardly wise.
I think the numbers in the movie were pumped up a bit too. There were a lot of orcs but not enough for the spread in the movie.
