Parent is correct. I've had great luck with zipzoomfly. Their prices are usually about the same as new egg, and from my experience they're second nicest to new egg when it comes to returns, etc, although newegg still wins by far in that category.
While I'm sure we all first think of those people who can't tear themselves away from wow, MMOs aren't the only culprit. As a teen, my friend and I definitely spent more time than we should playing fpses and rtses. We would probably play 4 - 6 hours a day, to the point where my friend's school work suffered. I would definitely consider myself addicted. You're still in a second world, be it one of trebuchet's and woad raders, or.44s and rocket launchers. (but, for the love of god, please don't let that world be second life). There are definitely high school students who suffer, like my friend did, because of an addiction to video games. They're fulfilling, and parents might not know how to deal with it since it's a newer problem.
That is true. The motherboard inside it could crack from pressure, The multi-touchscreen could become inoperable, the screen could warp, and I can 100% guarantee that the speakers would blow out.
Not to mention you would have to prepare yourself for the bends if you ever manage to get that deep;)
I always wanted to make an iPhone call from 1000 feet deep. Of course, that big air thingy sticking in my mouth is kind of a hinderance, but go technology!
But it won't protect the iPhone from the pressure at that depth...
Well, it starts with the "Loudness War" Record companies/radio stations compete to make everything louder, because the louder the music is coming over the air, the more likely the listener is to notice it. I don't see how that would help youtube though, because we're not listening to youtube in the background like we are to the radio.
and it opens things up for fraud. Very hard unless you want to put out the money to check everyone's computer. They could easily install the software, say they didn't agree with the EULA and return it, and get the software for free
No, it's a distribution license, not an end user license. There's no need to show the GPL during installation, the GPL imposes no restrictions on the end USER, it imposes restrictions on those who might want to distribute/modify the program. They don't actually have to USE the software http://jyte.com/cl/the-gpl-is-not-an-end-user-license-agreement-2
And it's not just their OS. I would love to be able to use software like Final Cut on my PC. Thankfully most music software has moved away from the mac only market in the past 7 years
I'm certainly not advocating forcing Apple to modify their software specifically to support anyone else's software (although your NES analogy did make me smile). However, nothing gives Apple the right to tell me, the consumer, what hardware I am required to run their operating system on. The fact that they specify this in their EULA doesn't make it valid; I'd like to see someone sell me a music CD and dictate what kind of stereo system I'm allowed to play it on.
Doesn't the itunes music store basically do just that?
The only problem is that you can't read the EULA until after you've opened the software package, at which point any retailer I've ever seen will say it is no longer returnable. I guess you could test that by calling up apple and see how they respond...
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. Does it work if you use the arrow keys? it should in theory be inputting the same thing as awsd. I can't really tell because i'm not sure what to look for.
This isn't new or interesting -- it's a classic pump and dump, most likely on the price of oil.
(1) Buy oil futures
(2) Pump spam/disinformation about a US military strike in Iran.
(2a) Do this when US/Israeli officials are making strong statements
(2b) because Iran has just tested some missiles
(3) Watch the price of oil go up 4-5% in a day http://www.bloomberg.com/energy/
(4) (Sell your oil futures at a) Profit!
Just because the Mayans calendar ended then means what exactly? They didn't even invent, let alone UTILIZE the wheel...
Not only that but they were able to predict "the end of the world" and yet utterly failed to foresee the end of their own civilization?
This isn't actually true. The Mayan long count actually continues after 2012. The Mayans actually thought the world wouldn't end until sometime around 3000. The cause for the misinterpretation is in the way the Mayans wrote the date. There's a whole other digit that usually gets left out, because they saw no need to write the entire long count for things thousands of years in the future, but on a handful of totems you can actually see the entire long count for the end of the world date, and it's not until the 3000s, so we're good for a while.
In addition to what everyone else has also said -- this is also a one time cost. They have no coal or oil they need to keep purchasing, the wind is free. So in the long run it will work out cheaper. And fuel prices are only going to go up in the foreseeable future.
Your design relies on deafness not following an individual into the spiritual world. If Beethoven can't hear Britney, then ignorance is bliss. Maybe Bach would be a better choice, he only went blind.
Thank God the goverment had the foresight to cancel this project. Although it may have helped stop climate change, it would have flooded the underground with CO2, causing angry mole-men to declare war on us surface dwellers. I am thankful to delay the welcoming of our mole-men overloards.
Hmm... and I always thought it was "Welcome to Rhode Island, Here's your ticket" I've never crossed the border from CT without seeing at least 3 speed traps.
Not true. Quoted in wikipedia from a USA Today article, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated
For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in.
That's not accurate. Administrators have jurisdiction over things that happen outside of school if it effects anything going on in the school; if it becomes a distraction in the classroom in any way, if it caused some kid to become distraught to the point that it affected their coursework, etc. If Johnny bullied Jimmy down at the 7 eleven on saturday to the point that he is too emotionally hurt to work in school, being near Johnny causes him to break down, etc is the real reason for this. IANAP (I am not a principal), so the exact way this works I'm not sure on, and it varies from state to state. Is it right? maybe, depends on the circumstance, here, probably not. Is it vague and easy to apply? Yes.

You sure about that? Slashdot is always full of people wanting to see license agreements enforced. Surely you've heard of the GPL.
That's not a liscense agreement. It's about copying/distribution, it's not an end-user liscense agreement.

At first I read that as Aperture Motors, and immediately thought: 'Sweet, car mounted portal guns!'

i've seen this tag a lot, maybe i missed the memo, but what exactly does the "oh no its roland" tag refer to?

Actually, it's the DOD codename for the military action fighting the monster in the movie. You learn that in the first 3 seconds of the film.
