Well, it doesn't appear that the DeFoe quote is from the book itself, but from a personal correspondence talking about the book. As I don't have a copy of the OED handy, I can't verify.
But, I will add that quick Google searching only shows the quote itself attributed to DeFoe, not any actual source material.
I'd highly doubt that the OED is given to oversights like this, but it does seem odd how the great Google doesn't have the original source material, given how often it's cited.
Remember those anti-trust cases with the Win95/98 and IE bundling? Yeah, around that time. Along side the 'IE is a vital system component and can't be removed' remarks.
Well, that still falls back on my point. It shouldn't matter what class I pick, I should be able to finish single player all the way through rather than just pick 'the' class. I don't mind it being hard but I mind it being stupid impossible. Act 5 Hell with a Pally? Harder than Battletoads. My friend played the Sorceress, and he's like "Oh yeah, I just breezed through Act 5 on Hell." Well, I don't WANT to play the Sorceress...I want to play the Pally!
Maybe they should have a special tuning for single player modes... "If class=barbarian... elsif class=paladin..." &c. Just little tweaks to defense, damage, resistances...nothing that changes the AI of the mobs or their abilities, just their strengths and weaknesses.
When you get into Nightmare and Hell, we figure that's what you're asking for....
We require you to dig deeper into your kit of abilities to really pull things off. We require you to be smarter, use more tactics, and really dig into what you're able to do to handle some of the challenges.
I dunno...there's less forgiving, but there's also just downright brutal. I've had to hack my D2 1.10 character saves and drop on unique or rare gear and stats and I'd still get torn to shreads in Hell. I'm sure I'm not the best Paladin ever, but there's lack of tactics and then there's just...well...to lift from Tigole, "four siege engines on you at once."
I'm sure it's balanced fine for multiplayer, but single player SHOULD be finishable on any class.
It's not like single player is affecting b.net in any way, there should be a little leniency. Honestly, I don't mind challenges, but it's not a 'challenge' if the mob has 'one hit death' and you're melee or '99% immune to range melee' and you're a bowazon...
Oh yeah, more nitpicking...increase the drop rate of uniques and rares in single player! We don't have the luxury of millions of other people trying to sell their useless rares!
Heh, the following companies should get alerts like that: GE, IBM, Xerox, HP, Apple, Ford, Halliburton...each of those have a full Class A block, HP has two even. (What, they want each printer of theirs sold to have a unique public IP?...)
I don't think those/29 and/30 blocks are the problem. it's all these unsaturated class As.
Exactly. XP even has the structure for this. You have your OWN documents and settings folder (no need to put everything in program files) and you have your OWN registry hive with HKCU (no need to put everything in HKLM)
Obviously you can read everywhere, but you can't write or modify, which is as it should be.
But it just pisses me off every time I have to (re)install UPS worldship and it throws hissyfits til doomsday til i just give the account Local Admin...
Unless you check reviews, which show real world usage, it's doubtful you'll find anything even in the manufacturer's specs that's useful.
I didn't even really consider power when I built it outside of the CPU (and that was more a matter of just choosing 45nm over 65nm); I just picked the parts I wanted. When I found it was less of a power hog, I was more than delightfully surprised.
Course, I should probably check my power usage one day when I'm actually *using* the PC...I just keep forgetting.
Yeah, cause the HST's just been a fountain of failures since it was lanched in 1990.
Seriously, outside of that mirror bit early on, we've serviced the Hubble thrice. And it's up there in one of the most extreme environments imaginable. I can't imagine a piece of kit on Earth surviving 18+ years with only five service calls.
My Google-fu is lacking today, but I know for trademarks, companies have to diligently protect their name even in seemingly absurd instances (changing 'Kleenex' to 'facial tissue' in novels for example) in order to establish a credible defense of their trademark for the times when it IS a critical case.
I was under the impression that copyrights had the same sort of diligence attached to them. If the RIAA willingly lets some infringment happen, that would show they are not pursuing all infringement claims with the same diligence. In fact, there's reports of CEO's children and presidential campaigns infringing on copyright and they haven't been prosecuted....and if copyrights don't have that same trail of diligent protection like trademarks have, they should.
One point brought up in the articles is that it's possible the MediaSentry downloads are unauthorized copies, which seems to be necessary since if the RIAA authorizes the copy, then technically they're not infringing copyright and hence have to basis for a lawsuit.
However, if the copies by MediaSentry are not authorized, then by not prosecuting MediaSentry for illicit downloads, aren't they undermining their own case by not going after every case of infringement?
*sigh* And these ACs are part the people who help decide the fate of the nation? No wonder we're screwed...
Barack had dual citizenship with Kenya (NOT Indonesia) and the US until 21 years old when Kenyan law required him to abandon it. He was born in Hawaii which makes him a natural born citizen.
McCain was born on a naval base which is considered soverign US soil for the purposes of birth, and has been since the 1790s by an act of Congress. (It's true the wording isn't as clear as it could be, but it's clear what the intent is of the bill.)
Both candidates are US citizens and natural born. This is all a non issue, has been, will be. Go find some other misinformation to spread...
Because scientific theories are based on years of observed data and if something is observed that results in prior theories being wrong, science changes the theories.
There are no datasets for religious beliefs and when things are brought into play that questions the beliefs, they are discarded as opposed to adjusting the beliefs to update them.
There are cameras at CA FasTrak lanes that do take photos of the cars and your make/model/color and licence plate are on file.
I think it's reasonable to assume that for the wireless bit, they wanted it as simple as possible. Less data to send, less chance you'll miss anything at 80mph.
Heh, you might luck out with an e-z pass, but the one time I went through FasTrak in Southern CA with the company car with an out of date transponder, my company got hit with fines.
Very quick turnaround too.
(Served them right for not keeping it current. Actually, I think they changed the car it was in so the plates didn't match, but either way, I wasn't driving a configuration the booth liked.)

So, you've made patches that are 1.5G in size to the client and who knows how large server side to...how many realms of WoW are there?
These aren't exactly server patches you can stagger either.
Well, there was a whole question dedicated to the difficulty of single player mode and a detailed responce, so there's likely still single player.
I dunno, this thread started with the remark from the D3 questions and you're quoting from SC2... Gettin some overlap here.

THE DEMOCRATS had control of Congress from 2007-8. If they saw something wrong, they had a free hand to correct it.
Wow, you make it sound like a 51-49 Senate with an executive of the opposite party constitutes a nationwide mandate.
Fortunatly, socialized health care is used often in countries that use DD/MM/YY. Sweet, one day wait!

Well, obviously leaving LCDs on saves energy if you compare it to leaving CRTs on.
My kingdom for a mod point...
I built a new system in July, Intel Core2Duo E8400, 2gb ram, ATI 3850, two hds (one's a raptor), and the box on idle pulls 81W.
My old box, an Athlon 1800+ (actual speed: 1350hz), 2gb ram, two HDs...idle was in the 130s 140s.
(Both are excluding monitor, a 20" LCD with pulls 35-40W)
So not only did I build me a faster system, it's nearly half as power hungry as my old box.
A +1, a +1, my kingdom for a +1...

If you don't licence your work as free, people can take your code and use it commercially.
There was a recent case that revolved around model train controlling that points this out.
There are cameras at CA FasTrak lanes that do take photos of the cars and your make/model/color and licence plate are on file.
I think it's reasonable to assume that for the wireless bit, they wanted it as simple as possible. Less data to send, less chance you'll miss anything at 80mph.
That's why the other bits are in place.
Heh, you might luck out with an e-z pass, but the one time I went through FasTrak in Southern CA with the company car with an out of date transponder, my company got hit with fines.
