It is released. The last line in TFA pointed right to the driver download page, from which you just have to pick your platform. For example http://support.amd.com/en-us/d... shows Revision Number Omega (14.12)
Also, good advertising is content (popular commercials are passed around often), and some content is advertising. This is OK, and doesn't in any way constitute "pollution".
If you set up Napolean vs. Wellington at Waterloo, you didn't have to worry about players saying, "I think I'll take my army and move back over Belgian fronteir, then negotiate a treaty which will apparently give Britain what it is looking for, under the cover of which I can build other geopolitical alliances that will undercut her."
The group I play in switches periodically between a few campaigns/DMs, but that is pretty much what our main campaign is doing.
After you did all the work of researching and setting up the initial conditions for an elaborate battle simulation, the players were jolly well going to play out *your* scenario.
The conflict hasn't reached a point where the armies of the conflicting nations are facing each other, but they are on the move. We were given complete freedom of how we wished to proceed, and none of us would have it any other way. Even the guy who is DMing that campaign, when he is sitting on the player side for other campaigns, will not hesitate to ditch a major plot/quest line if the party wants to do something else.
It seems to me that roleplaying rules should focus on (a) forcing player decisions
I think I understand what you're getting at with decisions on a personal situation level, but I disagree. From a player's perspective, the rules exist to enable my character to accomplish what I want them to accomplish.
D&D 4E can make adapting to party tangents much easier than earlier editions, especially if you use some of the software tools available, & not just the official ones.
In Android, you can buy your music using the Amazon mp3 app. Standard format and non-DRM means even if Amazon stops selling music you still can use your files.
You can also create a ring tone from your mp3s using the Ringdroid app. All on your phone. No need for any iTunes-like software for that.
If you really need to connect it to a PC for file management... Windows Explorer? The SD card storage is mounted as a drive. No special drivers or proprietary software needed.
That might depend on your definition of vacuum. The first citation of the linked Wikipedia article states that they slowed light to 38 miles per hour sending it through something "at super-low temperatures and super-high vacuum".
He also explains how mainstream MMOs have too many players
The MM in MMO stands for Massively Multi-player! If the servers are limited to 200 registered players averaging 50-70 online most of the time (as stated in TFA), I wouldn't call it an MMO. I've played on wolf-et servers with more than 70 players.
If you don't have the money to pay for the software your business use, you shouldn't use the software in the first place.
That isn't the case in the examples from TFA. The CEO for one of the companies mentioned, Ernie Ball, gave an interview to cnet http://www.news.com/2008-1082-5065859.html and mentioned that it was 8% of their 72 PCs. Figure 6 engineers got new PCs, and their old ones were passed down to someone doing clerical work without being wiped. When visio was put on the 6 new PCs it ended up being a $90,000 mistake, and it wasn't even being used on the old PCs.
World of Warcraft definitely had problems at launch. Servers crashing often, then having to wait in long login queues once they did come back up. I seem to remember the Archimonde server being unavailable most of the first week.
The difference I think is that they were able to compensate for these problems in a matter of days, where problems with other launches have stuck around for weeks.
I like how the quote from the officer in TFA is refuted by the stats a couple paragraphs later:
said Senior Cpl. James Bristo, second vice president of the Dallas Fraternal Order of Police. "Nobody out here is just running red lights left and right."
and
Since mid-January, the cameras have recorded at least 355 emergency vehicles running red lights.
That's within a period of only 3 months! Apparently somebody IS out there just running red lights left and right.
You can contact the DHS about public health concerns (or the cdc)...
Tell them that your neighbor has been acting very strange lately, and that he installed a dangerous looking electronic device on his house. Also, that now you and your other neighbors are experiencing headaches and nausea, but only while in the vicinity of the device.

I wonder if it's related to the bug which has affected Program Manager since XP SP2
Google is involved in this? Perhaps encryption could help them improve the accuracy of transcription in Google Voice...

Hah! Pretty funny coming from a NEWSPAPER...
