Actually the data from weather research posts is freely available to the public. All you have to do is find the relevant website (I don't have it on hand at the moment). One of the weather-scientist associations provides access to it I believe.
As part of a final project for my weather science class in college, we actually had to analyze data from four different stations around the world and correlate our findings with local geographical data. Almost every student in the class found evidence of the global temperatures rising over the last 80 year period.
And that is why Linux is a bad idea for them. Every linux nerd that wants a pre install, wants their favorite "flavor" of pre install. And gets pissy when their favorite brand name isn't in first place. And half the time people buy linux machines for their computer-illiterate relatives, making them take up huge amounts of phone-support time.
Easier to pitch it and say "eh, we have windows. Enjoy."
And if warhammer gets all the hardcore players, it will "still" be profitable. And the casuals of WoW will be happy because they don't have to deal with as many "hardcore" jerks.
You don't have to "beat" WoW to win, you just have to make a game that has a profit margin. And having a devoted fanbase of people who are shown to stick around is a good way to ensure this.
Its pretty easy to prove entrapment:
company: "He is domain squatting"
guy: "They asked me for a price on the domain, this is entrapment. I have proof of them asking me for the domain price before I issued my price to them"
judge: "I find in favor of the defendant (the guy)"
So you're saying that we should make it a legal requirement for PR departments to hire people who are socially inept and will harm the company more than help? Or to put other people who would infact reduce productivity more than benfit it (by causing harassment lawsuits due to comments made to female co-workers, or due to reduced communication because the weird guy in the cube down from you keeps distracting you)
So, you think we should make laws that not only reduce a company's productivity but also force them to hire liabilities? Smart plan that. Next thing you know we'll have laws making it so we have to hire people and keep them even if they sleep all day, because its a disorder and they "have" to sleep through the workday.
I still remember being like 6 years old, and looking all over for a 6inch by 6inch (rather big, for legos) space ship i built out of legos. I looked for like 2 hours, until I had an idea. I asked my friend's (exceedingly obese) mother to stand up, and she stalwartly refused and told me to go run along and play. So I sulked for an hour, and eventually found a way to make her get up (don't remember, it was a LONG time ago).
Turns out, she just thought our couch was really uncomfortable. And, gave me a good reason to watch my weight all these years. Because, really, who wants to loose an entire spaceship in your gigantic ass?
I still like the analogy that the game felt like the designers had dunked a monkey in black paint and just had it roll over your monitor for a few hours.
It isn't IT that is the field to avoid, but to avoid grunt work in IT. There will always be a need for on-site staff for databases and computers. The part that gets outsourced overseas is always the programming. The actual database and business-rule customization of the programs still stays in the US.
I've had professors that would assign questions 10-15 in chapter 3. In version 4 (his) these were there and straightforward. I had version 3, which (when I checked) had all the same questions, but they were out of order, ex: 5, 9, 11-13, 19.
Sell it the next semester? But version 12 is out next semester, and they changed one entire sentence. Of course the professor won't allow your old version 11 book.
Welcome to the world of a book that is now worth 10$, not 200$.
Three fire mages, all heavy-specced into fire. Pyroblast kills any enemy, the moment they're pulled. Take 4 and a priest, and just macro all 4 of the mages to a few keys, with the priest being directly controlled, and you've got a hard to beat army.
Also, 5 shaman with all their totems out can kill anyone if they work together. It won't win high-end tournaments (because you're not "quite" as good as 5 highly skilled people) but having 5 characters that work perfectly in sync, and are built to complement eachother, are hard to beat.

You could shoot someone in the street and it would be less of a crime, actually. Manslaughter carries a very low penalty comparatively.

Yeah, I can see the government not being particularly forgiving if that chunk of data on your harddrive happens to have childporn or something on it.
"No, really your honor, it wasn't my data. I was just sharing storage space with people online." Is not going to fly in court.

Its basically that easy.
Isn't it illegal to trick someone into doing something illegal?

Notably, the price is in Australian dollars. In American its 81.36$. Still a huge markup for apparently no reason.
You know, I'd mind that second part much less than other people. Then I at least know the one person who would be enjoying my inevitable demise.
Better them than my greedy future grandchildren, right?
Two possible meanings:
1: She was embarrassed that she sat on it, and didn't want anyone to know.
2: She liked it.
Please, for the love of all things in my childhood, don't let it be #2!

Notably, hospice workers that love doing their jobs, but feel bad when people pass away, because they know they are doing something to help someone.
The theme I'm hearing for AoC, even from the hardcore fanboys.
"I really love it, but the game isn't done yet."
Yes, exactly, the game isn't finished. Try playing a MMO that is actually "finished" and you will love that one even more. Trust me.
At least its not Reno. That town is so old, even the showgirls are like 50. (I really wish I could erase that mental image)

To show that they are not a monopoly, anti-monopoly practices in the US can be to a much bigger tune than the pittance 100M is to them.

You're thinking too mainstream... I'll bet there's a relatively large niche for tentacle monster movies in the Japan.
Insensitive? The rat has no brain, hard for it to sense much of anything. *badum-chi*
Well, despite the DBZ reference. You do just kind of die.
Hate to feed the trolls here. But if you're going to post a picture, at least have it be of an medium attractive woman.
