that definition states skill or physical prowess. I'm pretty sure that means physical prowess is not required if skill is. (also means skill is not required if physical prowess is.) So unless you'd like to state that professional RTS gamers are not more skilled at their game then someone who does not play as often, it would seem to fit your definition just fine.

Also, Curling is an Olympic sport that I would argue requires very little physical prowess, but a lot of skill. (muscle memory to adjust aim and momentum is hard to justify as requiring more prowess than the dexterity of aiming 100+ precise clicks per minute for 10+ solid minutes. And yes, they do click that much and with perfect precision.)

the difference is simple. You end up keeping a low income, easy job, that you know you can do to pay the bills opposed to moving to a better job that you only theoretically can do as losing the job is a much harsher impact then simply not changing jobs in the first place.

It's affected me. I can barely pay my bills while working full time right now. Going to college full time would be very difficult with the conflict between school hours and the available work hours for me, which means loans would be and grants wouldn't work, and I don't know if scholarships will allow for only 1 or 2 classes per semester. And no, I can't afford to pay the per credit charge of even a single class every semester either. Even if I'm simply misinformed about my options now, The knowledge that college isn't free has still affected me in continuing that line of education.

Of course if everyone is educated, that doesn't mean everyone makes more money, it simply means that the education becomes devalued as you may end up with needing a master's degree to avoid McDonald's instead of just a bachelor's. The master's degree will then be worth less since more people will get it just to avoid McDonald's and therefore the higher supply of workers allows companies to offer less money, thereby decreasing the average pay of a person with a given degree. wage slavery at it's finest.

On the other hand, if everyone was educated fully, they may understand just how criminal business practices actually are and may figure out how to work as a whole to improve society to where money is nothing more then a footnote in history.

Thank you for this information. I'd been looking into getting a blu-ray player as soon as I had the spare cash for it, but hearing that it needs firmware updates (when you're right, these devices should never need firmware updates. unless it's to read a disc that's acheived higher data density), I now have no desire for blu-ray. I'd rather deal with pirating and maybe buying a disc just to give people their share then deal with the nightmare you just described to me.

since the troll won't give a NSFW label.

This is the United States of America. Anyone who doesn't complain about even the slightest inconvenience obviously is not from here. So why would they check the people who do complain when that's the American way?

ack!! You're one of them! one of those government spies! You're only here to tell us our paranoia is unfounded as it lacks proof.. just as the government would say if they didn't want us to look deeper...

ah ha! You're insinuation that our paranoia is unfounded is the exact proof needed to say our paranoia is fully justified!

instead of JUST making things entirely multiplayer, can we go back to split screen on games that make sense for it? (such as racing games?!) I really really don't like having to move a TV, with all the cables, from my neighbor's apartment to mine just so I can race against him in the same room!

There is a simple problem you run into. Usage based billing only works in the following idea.

--------
-company charges $x for unlimited plans because their network costs are high due to a few people using a LOT of bandwidth.
-company switches to usage based billing. Charges less as high bandwidth users now pay what they owe vs low bandwidth uses paying the difference.
-------

However, this is not the reason for usage based billing in this instance.

Instead Bell, the backbone company was forced to charge ISPs on it's backbone an "at cost" rate, meaning they couldn't charge more than it cost them to run the line. This allows the ISP to determine what pricing plan they want, including usage based to reduce overall costs.

During this time, an ISP going to usage based billing can potentially have lower costs for other clients.

Now, Bell is charging it's original rate, along with an extra $1.12/GB over a low 60GB limit. This artificially raises the rates of the smaller ISPs that are on Bell's backbone as they were paying all of Bell's costs for those lines to begin with, and now have to pay even more. Meaning that the ISPs were likely already at the lowest amount they could charge, and have to now pay a gigantic extra fee for simply moderate usage.

I am short on time right now, but the quick and simple is this. Usage based billing only works when it's the company that deals directly with the customer that determines it, not the backbone. The backbone company getting to charge extra only raises rates for it's competitors.

let me get this straight.. We have decided to shoot people making phone calls with a MISSILE?? Doesn't anyone think that's a bit of overkill for taking out a single person?

what subgroup uses "lawl" in actual speech? Because I wish to slap that group.
