I concur. I took keyboarding the last year it was offered in my district. (Now the government assumes that everyone can type properly upon entering grade 9 -- which is complete BS). High school keyboarding saves students thousands of hours of time if their subsequent education or career involves typing. It's a shame that it is largely no longer offered.
Mind you, per (utilized) finger efficiency went way down. 2 fingers @ 20 WPM -> 10 digits @ 80 WPM at the end of the course.
That's because it's possible for mice to sneak into the vats during proper beer production.
In the American model, scientists haven't found out a way for horses to piss out mice and Coors Light at the same time. I'm sure they're working on it though.
Sure; the occasional review may be biased or paid off, but you'll know to stay away from the sites that continually give unrealistically high ratings. (For the record -- and I was a bit surprised about this -- most of the major sites seem to sit in the middle).
In that case, the game must have improved drastically after the first 20 minutes of gameplay -- which was the upper limit of my tolerance for its shoddy graphics, unresponsive control scheme and half-assed plot. Few games have bored me so quickly as this utterly uninspired brawler.
If it weren't for the sake of controversy breeding cheap news coverage, I would've thought that Rockstar would've abandoned this franchise.

"...Snyder fumed that his company had discerned that, at one point during 2006, Canadian theatres were the source for nearly 50 per cent of illegal camcords across the globe"
Mind-blowing. So, *at one point*, two new movies became available in theatres during the same week. One of them was illegally cammed in Canada. There's your worldwide 50%. BFD.
"In the States, you're criminally charged because it's theft. Here, if someone steals five DVDs from Blockbuster, law enforcement swoops down. But someone leaves my theatre with a pirated video in his pocket, and we can't get the police to come."...because no theft has occurred until they attempt to distribute it. They paid their $10 for the movie, they get to watch their experience again at home. If someone rents a DVD from Blockbuster for $10 and watches it at home --twice-- does that become theft as well?
I see what you're saying, but your statements aren't entirely correct. The CRIA and RIAA are not affiliated. However, many of the member corporations in the CRIA are the same big American music labels (or their Canadian branches) that compose the RIAA. They're equivalent agencies, but not the same.
The CMCC certainly represents quite a few artists (not to mention the interests of the Canadian public), but as the group that represents the production companies (read "entities that have more lobbying/bribery assets"), the CRIA still has the bigger political sway.
The sad truth is: we innately expect that there is a moral or skillwise justification for the progression up the company hierarchy. It's frustrating when a person is placed in a superior position, but displays attributes and abilities inferior to the rest.
Agreed. The only way to do this in a just but libertarian manner is to have a public referendum on a document-by-document basis to decide which files should be disclosed to the public.
At least Halo won't be directed by Uwe Boll. Finally a good title that I won't suddenly need to hate because of a lacklustre bigscreen spinoff.
If WETA is involved, and Jackson is willing to stamp his name on it, at least it'll be worth watching for the production values.

This is starting to veer off topic, but...
p , you can see what the average review grade is for each game review site.

Legal filings show that Microsoft is working with Ninjas to directly counter the Google Pirate threat.

So... will the Wii be able to run Duke Nukem Forever, or not?

...is this not a humvee/hummer with a massive target mounted on top? Look for version 2.0 where they go all the way and paint a bullseye on the dish.
Cities are small-time. Think big: Countries! Oh... wait... already been done.
News story:
Is abortion a cheap way of racking up high scores, or does so-called "spawn-camping" cheapen the experience for newbies? Details at 11.
It's only correct if you're using an apostrophe.
If you think "one-time" maintenance is surly, wait until you see a vampire who gets shafted by the communist party AND his real estate agent.
