You are aware of the fact that you can switch to another (=longer) skill whenever you want without losing any skill points of the current skill?
It's common practice to change to a longer skill right before going offline. If you log in again, switch back to the shorter skill you were training before.
Given the fact that you can just copy the complete EVE folder to a different location and start the game without any kind of configuration, you surely don't need admin privileges to install EVE.
For all those that demand that apps might be installed without admin privileges: That would be a nightmare in a corporate environment, because everybody and his dog could install his dozen favorite games/applications at work.
Seriously, how it would really make things any better if the guards carried a human rights card around?
The hold idea behind this is that no one can get away with "I dind't know". Forced to be used and carry such thing makes then either guilty of not having read it or not having followed it. Each way: it's *your* fault. No excuses.
Consider this to be a conclusion of off all those "I was just following orders" excuses.
The Germans have the problem that they, as a people, are simply not keen enough on protesting and fighting for their rights [...]
I call this bullshit! Last week the SPD (social democrats) proposed to introduce a general speed limit of 130 km/h on our Autbahns. You should have heard the embarrassment everywhere. You know, we only protest when it's, like speed limit, purity law for our beer, an important issues.
Disturbing fact: watched a talk show last week dealing about the speed limit. One participant, member of the CSU (conservatives) rejected that proposal from the social democrats, because - now, listen closely - "the speed limit would interfere too much with personal freedom". Go figure...
What amazes me is that we had this problem solved fifty years ago. It was called a mechanical power switch.
Ah, what a relieve! There are times when I wonder if it's me who has a problem embracing "progress" or if the other people around me simply don't seem to understand that something that consumes energy (=money) for not being used isn't even progress (or innovation) but simply plain stupid and regress.
Soil based citizenship seems to be true for France as well.
(Hearsay from a schoolmate with dual French/German citizenship from roughly 20 years ago:)If you're born on board a french plane (like an Air France flight), you're granted french citizenship.
While EVE is design around (non-consensual) PvP, there so much more you can do in EVE. I've been playing EVE since March 2006. I've had less than 10 PvP fights in this time (all except one of them forced onto me and I lost all), but I still have fun playing EVE. I've just bought another 180 day GTC. Yes, it's unforgiving. But it's also a real nice sandbox, giving you the freedom to explore the world like very few other games do. There's a 14 day trial available, try for yourself. Although you won't recognize all possibilities available to you within that short period of time, which is a pity.
Let's see, I want to marry an intelligent, highly educated doctor and then turn her into a brood mare who stays in the kitchen making cookies.
But than again, say, I know that I'm a weirdo of some kind, having trouble socializing with other people. And my wife is a highly educated, intelligent and caring woman. Who would be better qualified to raise/educate our children? Me or her?
You could see "moral" as a direct result of "egoism" (aka "will to survive"). I do no harm to you, my expectation is that you therefore don't do any harm to me. Going a step further: I might be able to harm you (because I'm the bigger guy), but I don't know if you might come back with your friends or your bigger brother.
If you like a more philosophical approach, Kant's Categorical Imperative seems to be a good explanation.
Version 8 is in no way faster than prevvious versions. The only difference with version 8: They refrained from installing all optional components to be loaded at startup, which they did for previous versions (at least 6 and 7).
Test it for yourself, install version 7. Move every file/folder in "PLUG_INS" to another folder. Start the Reader. Copy back the files it complains about (don't remember which ones, 2-3 files). Enjoy a fast start.
It's illegal to read Windows, the source is closed.
Not quite correct, Sir! Besides the fact that you can license the Windows source code, there are some countries (e.g. Germany) where laws are in effect that allow you - under certain circumstances - to disassemble and rewrite/modify software. Regardless of copyrights, patents and EULAs.
OK, you aimed for "Funny" and you got modded "Funny".
But therein lies a (perhaps life saving) truth. If we ever send out manned missions to objects further away than moon, construct the vehicels in such a way that a crew can fix things with hammer, screwdriver and duct tape. And no kidding here. MIR was already mentioned as an example where low tech was the key point to keep the station in space. In WW II, the T34 tought our german tanks a lesson about maintainability. Could run with almost anything that looked like fuel, e.g. heating oil whereas our shiny Panther and Tiger need the fuel they were designed for. The most widespread hand weapon these days? AK-47. Easy (and cheap) to build, easy to maintain and robust. YOu can slam it down, cross a river or carry through a desert, no matter, it will still function or only needs minimal cleaning.
You're doing the Borg wrong. After *they* assimilate a foreign species, all of the species' wisdom and knowledge is kept and used, making the Borg that technical superiour race that they are. EA reminds me more of zombies. Infecting game studios with a virus that lets them sooner or later end up (brain) dead.
You can't be serious. You want to re-implement 40 year old technology? What would be the point, we've already done that?
The appealing thing about old technology is: there's almost nothing you can't fix with a hammer and a screwdriver. While of course not being as advanced as today's technology, it's for sure easier to fix and easier to implement a workaround in case of a failure (as demonstrated by Apollo 13). Try doing that with some faulty "advanced" circuit.
One doesn't even need to mention individual albums. There's a complete category that makes the most sense when listened to complete *and* in order: Live recordings. Needless to say that I prefer live albums over studio albums.
Yes, it is Bavaria. And I bet 200 years ago, someone like Stoiber would have chosen to build something like Versailles. Louis XIV-complex?
You're closer to the truth than you perhaps think. This *is* Stoiber's Versailles. He's leaving his office this fall. That railtrack is his legacy. That will be (if it ever gets build) the first official maglev track in Germany. He managed, last minute before leaving office, to get some EU subvention promised (that's what he tells, at least) and the Deutsche Bahn throws some money in as well (tax payers money, that is).
See, we have this maglev train development going on for almost, what?, 2, 3 decades now. An enormous sum of tax payer's money has been thrown at this project. Politicians are finally somewhat doomed to get a commercial track up and running, because they were the once that always promoted and protected this technology all those years.
It is important to note that the original intent of the phrase was to protect the Church from the State, not the other way around.
And that's because the State was influenced by a competing religion. The Pilgrim Fathers ran away not from an atheist state oppressing them, but from a state in which another religious institution (Church of England) had a great deal of saying.
You don't even need to resort to vinyl that never appeared on CD before. Even older CDs don't get republished once the record label rans out of stock. Although the CD master, the booklet/cover has already been done and probably is still available somewhere.
Last year I decided to go through my vinyl collection and by the CD version of my favorite vinyl records. Making a long story short, although I knew there once was a CD version out, my music store couldn't order it for me: "Out of stock, will not be republished." I was lucky to find a used copy from one of my favorite artist (a band called Zed Yago (sorry, german Wiki entry, no english version available)), but clearly not the artist nor the distribution chain profited from that sale, although the price I payed was in the range of any new, standard music CD out there in the stores (and it was worth it).
Of course, bands like this one don't sell copies in the ranges of The Beatles, but I guess with today's technology and given the fact that concepts like books on demand already exist, there should be a way for me to order a brand new CD that gets manufactured after I ordered it.

Same here in Germany. Although they're experimenting with different kinds of "electronic voting" as well.
No, not that I'm aware of ... ;-)

Somebody should have tagged this "Slow news this month". This is the same topic that was mentioned in http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/01/1945235.
That said, I'm nonetheless happy that mainstream media seems to slowly pick up this story.
