This was supposed to be a big selling point for Shadowrun, the FPS that was released for the 360 and the PC. Perhaps more accurately, it was supposed to be a selling point for both Windows Vista (since it wouldn't run on XP) and LIVE subscriptions, but the whole thing fizzled rather quickly on both platforms.
So the search I did last night, for 'how to fix a cracked toilet', might result in 'hire a plumber, lady' instead of 'go to Home Depot for a replacement, dude'.
(Yes, I'm being facetious, but still. That Wagner example is pretty awful.)
Child-rearing really doesn't have very much to do with it at all, between school, day-care, a partner and parental leave. What probably does have a lot to do with it is that women are offered shittier salaries on average, as noted (and have been forever) and they get tired of banging their heads on the old glass ceiling.
Yes, because people this selfish/impulsive/stupid are going to have been fastidious practitioners of birth control since discovering the other use for their genitals.
I hate to break it to you guys, but most of the people who get tagged as Darwin Award winners or the like have already bred.
I hope you're not using that college degree for anything, because 'natal' is an adjective that pertains to birth and not a specific part of the anatomy.
Porn sites aren't the only ones promiscuously mixing affiliates: there's a great deal of it going on with otherwise decent web advertisers as well, with results that range from the merely annoying to just as dangerous. It's very difficult to track the sources down beyond the first few layers because the whole thing is a bunged-up mess.
If they were worried about server load, they'd still have enough interest to make a traditional subscription structure work. At worst, they'll institute a queue system-- assuming that they haven't had one since launch.
Asheron's Call, and Dungeons and Dragons Online (both Turbine MMOs too, coincidentally) have operated on a microtransaction basis for some time, and neither have been in any danger of server-toppling popularity.
Horsepuckies. When I got Nero 7 and tried to run the help files, I was told to DOWNLOAD the.chms from Nero's site and fucking INSTALL them myself. That kind of laziness is absolutely inexcusable.
Amen to that. If this is anything more than a session manager, or advertising the fact that you can open more than one tab as your home page, I'm probably going to be peeved.
I was in a local gaming store, when the owner was explaining why he stopped carrying Warhammer stuff. They tried to twist his arm over minimum purchases, and he told them that if he wanted to be a Warhammer store he would have opened one. This was at least ten years ago, and the actual Warhammer store in town that opened at about the same time lasted all of three months.
Warhammer Online's faults should be laid at Mythic's feet, though. Their earlier Realm-vs-Realm game, Dark Ages of Camelot, was plagued with a similar variety of design flaws and bugs.

Seriously, dude. We're starting to worry about you.
I'm looking forward to Nature Trail to Hell in 3D, part II, myself!
At least twenty, since the hyperspatial tollbooth at Barnard's Star is all buggered up right now so you'll have to take a detour.

Worse, it's the Chewbacca offense! The judge will have to cede the 84%, if he doesn't want to have his arms pulled out of their sockets!

I never thought that I would live to see the Platonic ideal of horseshit, but here it is.
That's nice, dear.

Christ, I wish I could mod this up.

...a patch will be released sometime in the Fall quarter.
My heart goes out to the poor developers, who are already fighting with their bosses over why they shouldn't be using Flash on their .mobi sites.

Damn you, voice of reason!
Pfft. I hear von Neumann's got a machine that'll make a lawsuit the least of their worries.
The way to the Great Egress, of course.
That's Fronken-shteen, you insensitive clod!
