As someone who used to be hardcore into ID Software FPS titles, now that I am an adult with more responsibilities, it is harder to dedicate that much time towards finding a another freaking Intel Item, hidden obscurely in some level somewhere.
If I cannot play for 15-20 minutes and abort where I am at, without suffering huge penalties, I am not going to ever finish that game.
I am much more interested in quick games on my iPad, but wouldn't mind if they had a little more depth. Save the super hardcore games for the high school kids, but give us more than Poppit.
Imagine all the ridiculous fragmentation (and subsequently, a massive performance hit) because you are worried about minute amounts of space that only accumulate after hundreds of thousands of small files.
well part of the problem stems from the fact BP and companies like them will BUY OUT emerging alternative forms of energy, close them down and say the technology is not far enough along. (WhoKilledTheElectricCar perhaps?)
Sure, some dick driving a Chevy Taho is part of the problem, but I really don't have too many convenient alternatives to choose from partly due to Big Oil.
What do you people do with your internet that is so demanding of more ISPs.
I live in Atlanta and have Comcast. It's cheaper than Clear, and faster than DSL. I never have downtime and I download a few torrents a month with no problem. I mean, unless Atlanta is the exception, my Internet is never down, and I never have any issues. 45 bucks a month for something so important and integrated into daily life, you don't see me complaining. You could probably negotiate your rent down 100 bucks if you are _that_ strapped for cash.
And if you are completely raping the 'unlimited' service because you want to utilize the full 15mbps 100% of the time, to pull terabytes of illegal data, I don't want to hear about it. You are a fucking retard and I hope your balls explode.
Pedantic is a rather large word for someone like you.
The parent post, nor my response, attempted to cover the 'merits' of attendance-based grades. But go ahead and convolute the discussion with your reasons of 'why' and calling it 'circular'.
you're going outside the scope of the conversation.
The parent is willingly skipping class because he feels he is above attending. And the class has penalties for poor attendance. Yes, I feel he should be penalized.
College doesn't just teach book smarts. There are plenty of 'asinine' rules at my company, but I follow them in order to get promoted and obtain good reviews. Trust me, I've worked with a few of these people who 'keep it real', and they are always disgrunteld and passed up for promotions/raises year after year, and I don't feel sorry for them.
Life/Work is a game, and you gotta play it to win.
Because those are the Rules of that particular class.
If you don't like it, find another class that has different requirements.
The same exact argument can be applied to Steroids in Baseball. I dont care what your 'moral' position is on Steroids, but if you take them, you get penalized and potentially kicked out of the league. I don't even want to hear the pros or cons against them. They broke the rules, plain and simple. Conversation over.
I'm busy at work, so I won't be reading your post.
and groklaw sucks. I could have been a lawyer, but because of your kind, this country is falling apart. There are too many lawyers. Go sue somebody for 'animal rights' because they lightly smacked their dog or something. Embrace the scumbag inside you!

If I had mod points, I would have modded you up purely for using the word fuckery. Bravo.
Google Wave might be the biggest *Techno Bust* I can think of in a long time.
It had a mountain of hype surrounding it, yet is less effective than a multiple person Chat Room, and 15 times as laggy/chunky/choppy.
I absolutely disagree with you.

i completely agree.
i found your post by searching for 'about time' on this page.
it is a disgrace and a shame the enormous amount of resources we waste on this, year after year.
nobody enjoys overpaying for anything.
but there are other reasons why people are willing to pay premiums.
comeon, you gotta think bigger conspiracy than that!
you know, 'zomg the govt is trying to control us'
'how dare they take away my right to WiFi!'
etc...this is slashdot!
I cannot get it to load.

Trend Micro has performed well for us.
Kaspersky is *supposed* to be the up-and-comer, but we've had our share of issues with it.
But none of them are immune from a rushed update.
sometimes I forget I can use other HTML markup besides the basics.
I didnt read your post, but found it very fascinating!
you still are.
ok...
haha, you fucking dork. what level is your wizard up to?!? bahahaha

how long until the Military starts experimenting on this!
you are talking about computer software.
I think the parent was talking about consoles.
Unfortunately, with the 'installable' nature of PC software, I do understand the difference, especially since you cannot play burned CDs in consoles.
here is a picture with the extended battery installed.

Yea, because all those hedge funds like to buy companies that are going straight down (???)
They might be interested because they expect the company's value to go up (gasp!!).
I realize you are an expert, but when was the last time you didn't do heavy investigation before spending 2 billion dollars?
