Comment Re:New anti-piracy tool, eh? (Score 1) 377
I heard that their new anti-piracy is a non-bypassable boot video of Mr. T. saying: "I pity the fool who steals from Ubisoft! Copyright 2009, all rights reserved."
Why does someone always bring this up? It's a game, not a simulator! If I wanted to learn how to play a guitar, then I'd pick up a guitar. I just want to have some fun with my friends playing a game that happens to include music we like.
Perhaps because there's a market out there that is interested in learning how to play the guitar and want a video game interface to learn how. Instead of colored buttons, why not display tabs on the screen? Sure, it would be difficult, but at least the game would add lasting value. Yes, people could learn the songs without the game, but at least the game could give you interactive feedback and piggyback on the fun interface of the current Rock Band/GH titles.
Give a 12 year old their first electric guitar and a copy of this game and let them learn! Not to mention, you wouldn't necessarily need to buy an amp right away.
Saturn and Jupiter are the sweepers of the Solar system. They are big, so things hit them instead of us. Think of them as bodyguards... ^_^
I've nicknamed them Hans and Nitro.
Just like how China is waiting for the opportune time to cash in on USA's debt, Jupiter's waiting for the opportune time to enslave us.
"Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,"
Sounds pretty vague. Perhaps they're looking to design their site like Zombo.com. A most innovative way to spend $18 million.
Don't kid yourself that any politician in the history of the US has ever thought (or will ever think) to themselves "well, I WANT to do X, but since the citizens have so many guns, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea."
Perhaps not in the positive light you're trying to shed. While a politician may not pursue justice for the sake of a well-armed constituency, seeds of corruption are sown in areas with high drug trafficking and gang violence [citation needed]. I'm sure that there are plenty of politicians who fear for their families, let alone their own lives, and by doing so fail to address the injustices that occur on a daily basis in those areas. Especially if their police department cannot provide them with the security they need.
What right has anybody to dictate contracts in that regard? Why should somebody producing little traffic pay as much as somebody who produces a lot?
You dont pay your water bill by your pipe-diameter, or your electricity bill by your wire-gauge. So why should you pay your internet becaue of the maximum throughput possible?
In many places, you are charged on your electric bill for demand. Take your peak usage across the utility's time interval, and you're charged on your bill to ensure that at any given point of time, the utility can provide you with that much electricity (even if you only hit that peak once). So, while you don't pay your electric bill by wire-gauge, you do pay by how much you may possibly use by your maximum usage.
Your risk goes up the greater you deviate from normal. Using your turn signal in Boston is therefore abnormal and increases your risk. Someone else will hit you not knowing what that blinky light is.
And yes I have driven in Boston. My sister lives there.
I sort of agree with this statement. Your risk may or may not go up, because you may be used to people using their turn signals and may not be prepared for someone to inadvertently cut you off. With that, I hope that your brake foot is faster than your finger.
Sites like tributes.com are popping up to make the death experience more facebook-compatible.
Great! I've been waiting for the opportunity to change my status to "Deceased".
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.
