It doesn't take much to be considered an "hacking professor" now days, does it?
It's getting to the consoles now as well. I was fully intent on purchasing Battlefield 3 for PC, but I'd already gone well over my gaming budget due to good Steam deals. Some friends and I went out and rented a copy of BF3 on Xbox 360 instead just to find out that you need to enter a one-time use code that comes with the game to access the multiplayer. I fully understand the used game market hurts the developers; however, would it really have been unreasonable to include a 3-7 day trial for renters like myself.
I'm glad this happened though, after playing the single-player campaign instead I deemed the game not worthy of a purchase. EA had a definite sale with me and managed to mess it up, my how these DRM schemes save them so much money.
Anyone who thought the idiotic DRM schemes from Ubisoft were really going to stop was delusional. I've been boycotting Ubisoft ever since their "always on Internet connection" DRM for Assassin's Creed 2 was introduced. Once they pulled that move I trashed all my Ubisoft products (of which I had many) and haven't so much as touched a demo from them ever since.
I suggest any of you who like to play your legally purchased games how/when you want to should do the same. And to those of you who say to just go pirate the game, you're simply treating the symptom & not the problem. Let them know that they can't pull these sorts of things or it'll catch on to other developers soon enough (I'm looking at you EA).
No need to launch CloneZilla, all the bash script would have to do is:
Grats on your success jd. I'm not quite to marriage point yet, but I met my girlfriend on OkCupid in May of 2009 and we've been great ever since.
The best way to attract girls on these dating sites (other than having a ton of money or looking like a model) is to stand-out from the crowd, hopefully making them laugh in the process. As the article says, most guys on these websites initiate conversations with "hey sexy" or something equally as dull. If you find a girl on the site who's profile catches your eye, open with something referencing something on her profile about something that she likes, and make a joke about it. Don't be overly desperate, don't be too cocky (unless jokingly), and most of all don't be too flattering.
While the above method doesn't work 100% of the time, it's what worked for me. At the time I met my girlfriend, I was talking to several women who were interested in meeting up and I had engaged in some good conversation with. At that point in time I was a chain-smoking, 250lb, unemployed college student without a dollar to his name, so it should be possible for this to work for almost anyone. YMMV
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
