I think the problem with most alternatives is PayPal covers the most ground. I've been looking for alternatives to PayPal for a while now and none of them have covered the kind of ground PayPal does. Even Google's offering, which you would honestly kind of expect to be pretty widely available is only usable in a few countries.
I await the day PayPal is lost to the annals of obscurity.
No kidding! When I saw that number I had to do a double take to make sure I didn't misread the amount. That's an absolute steal. That's a fraction of the absolute cheapest preformed patties I've ever seen.
It was never thrown away to begin with, dumbass. Before it ended up on our dinner tables, it was primarily used in pet foods. It has nothing to do with being ethical, and everything to do with creating a grossly inferior product using the runoff of the animal we are not accustomed to eating and having to chemical treat it just so it doesn't actually kill us when we do eat it.
There was nothing right about what they were doing, except for their bank accounts, being able to stretch out their original product by that much more while charging us the same price.
Your post just goes to show what we have come to expect in our daily lives, so much that we outright stick up for the status quo of people screwing everyone over for their own personal gain. Who cares what we eat, right, as long as it doesn't outright kill us? Quality isn't even in our dictionary anymore.
I will be totally screwed if Time Warner follows suit on the data cap train. I take care of my father and kid sister, and we all use Netflix. My dad is disabled so he watches a LOT of Netflix from bed, and my router shows that our monthly usage fluctuates between 280 on a really good month and 340gb.
By all means, fellow consumerist. Don't ever bother doing anything yourself even if it may happen to be a hobby of yours. It's always better to buy everything premade. Otherwise you might not have the very best products in every category of your life! We wouldn't want that now would we?
You're kidding, right? Are you actually trying to imply a mere bumper-cam can't be cobbled together by a hobbyist?
I guess you're the reason we need to warn everyone that pencils are sharp, coffee is hot, and every building contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.
It was more than just keeping the evidence. They were not supposed to interfere with the user regarding the investigation so as not to arouse suspicion. Suspending/deleting the video seems like it could have easily done that.
Except that according to his story, she wasn't even over the limit. However by her admission, she signed a document recalling the events, her admission of feeling impaired enough to convict her.
In the US, people are taught to trust the police from childhood and onward. To the average person, it's only the nutters that are screaming about how backwards the police system can be like this, so the usual instinct is to try to be polite and helpful since they don't feel they have done anything wrong. Unfortunately for them, when they do finally end up on the wrong end of a police investigation, they will learn all too well how being helpful is about the worst thing they can do.
So yeah, it was dumb to talk to the police, but most people do not know any better and it is hard to fault them for it. Most people have never even had an encounter with a police officer, let alone been given any reason to personally mistrust them all.
What makes you think anyone is talking about the upcoming version? In terms of what the apparent lessons are supposed to teach could easily be taught using Sim City 2000, 3000, or 4. Why would you need cooperative multiplayer for this curricular? None of the actual goals seem to need it and the article doesn't even hint at Minecraft being played on a server.
There is no feedback from Minecraft regarding any of these topics, where as any Sim City will inform you of results caused by your (good/poor) planning, sims will complaint about environmental conditions and even get mad when you start chopping down woodlands, etc.
Minecraft can inspire creativity the same way Lego can, but for their narrowed down subject matter it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Your standard run-of-the-mill desktop printer. If you really want to go all out, then you can use nice thick glossy paper or even get even the rarest cards printed at Kinko's for a pittance.
That said, cheap decks can be officially paid for and still be strong. Unless you want to be a top tier tournament player, I guess. You might need to invest a bit more to have that hobby. It doesn't invalidate the whole game however.
On thing not mentioned here is the reason why this turned into a court case is the lawyer on Siegel's side. Had the Siegel's won, the lawyer would have actually become the controlling party of Superman, not the Siegel's.
Reminds me of the diamond ring item in Team Fortress 2. Costs a hundred bucks and when you uses it you essentially propose to another player in front of everyone logged in. To this day (like a year or more after inception) you still see people using it for memes or general trolling and what have you.
Is he trying to market it? Seems to me he took a bad situation and turned it into a project for himself. Not sure he had making big bucks anywhere on the project checklist.
Considering the subject matter though and how it all began, I find it kind of silly that you bring up a social life as one of the things he has sacrificed. To think that someone would work on a personal project at any point in their life instead of non-stop partying -- that sure sounds like antisocial behavior to me!
Seems like a number of things could be done to reduce the likelihood of accidental ingestion. For example, he could have the functional bits encased in a smaller solid piece, then have that inside a plastic ice cube shaped object with a mesh structure along the sides so water can penetrate and freeze inside, and melt outside. Then it should be safe enough. Assuming the cube is large enough without being too unwieldy, that danger should be reduced.
There needs to be a point in which you can say you did what you could for safety but there's some inherent danger if the person is negligent enough. I mean a drunk guy could decide to swallow a lime slice and choke. Should the bartender or establishment be sued for giving them a lime to choke on?
I know these definitions well enough. I contend there is no real irony in the fact that Microsoft Research uses open source software as this is not at all uncommon for them. Microsoft and Microsoft Research might as well be two totally different entities as far as anyone is concerned, because the former and the latter have two totally different demeanors regarding the usage and support of open source. Speaking of demeanor, yours is quite easily where I got the opinion of hate from you. Not from your message, but from the way in which you chose to convey it.
Honestly, you are kind of ridiculous. Perhaps ridiculous isn't the word. I want to say obnoxious but I'm not sure of that either.
There's no irony here. Microsoft Research does all sorts of things with open source software, including giving it away themselves. There is no reason to write completely new games for a one minute demonstration. That is just ridiculous.
Also, Master Chief was in the demo; the original poster (and perhaps you) was just too blinded by seeing something open source on the screen to notice it.
MSR is one of the few branches of Microsoft that doesn't feel like traditional Microsoft. But by all means, continue hating every little thing that has to do with Microsoft.

Let me guess; you get called an idiot and referred to as sheeple a lot?

A bit far from /b/ today aren't we?

Lets not forget about canis lupus familiaris. I hear those are a delicacy in some parts of the world.
Yeah, you tell that to your clients. See how long they remain your clients.

If you don't care about herpes or one of the many other sexually transmitted diseases, sure. Knock yourself out.

Why would most of your deck be land cards? Sounds like a great way to have a terrible deck.
Come on now, it's not that long. It's only Mickey Mouse's age + 1.

Wait, what? Why was it set up that way?
