Because you probably DID kill off your characters. It's not hard to save everyone in Mass Effect 2 as long as you 1) Fully upgrade your ship and 2) keep everyone loyal. If you don't upgrade the ship, then people who aren't with you end up dying. If you take the people you care about with you (For me it's Tali and Garrus) then they won't die even if you don't upgrade the Normandy. If characters aren't loyal, they may die once you're actually in the collector base.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, cellular networks have been getting faster as well. I am not saying that people should start designing webpages using PNGs only and slicing them up... I am saying that if you upload a picture that is meant to be looked at, you don't want it to look terrible like a JPG or a WebP.

One should never try to view images on a phone. The only images I post online are either photographs taken by myself or computer screenshots, both of which would be terrible to browse on a phone. An ISP's job is to provide losers like me with more bandwidth. If they don't want to give us the amount of bandwidth we are paying for they can always throttle us and get sued... Also, the by the byte/MB/GB model will never catch on for residential or corporate customers. Mobile customers are used to being ripped off, but look how a la carte TV programming has turned out. A very small percentage of users actually want to have a variable bill.

An Animal That Lives Without Oxygen 166

Julie188 writes "Scientists have found the first multicellular animals that apparently live entirely without oxygen. The creatures reside deep in one of the harshest environments on earth: the Mediterranean Ocean's L'Atalante basin, which contains salt brine so dense that it doesn't mix with the oxygen-containing waters above."

Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s 447

Several readers have mentioned the strange goods that some customers received from Newegg in place of the Intel Core i7 920 processor they ordered. Word on the problem first surfaced on TribalWar on Thursday evening. Newegg still hasn't commented on this. It's not known whether it happened as a result fraud by another Newegg customer, in shipping, or where. The "processors" are made of aluminum, and the "fans" are some kind of synthetic molded material. The "factory seal" was printed onto the box; the holographic stickers on the boxes were also faked. The first part of this video shows the bogus goods. At this writing Google News lists a handful of blogs mentioning the fakes.

Posted on Overclock.net: "Ok so I called Newegg. They confirmed that they have spoken to several people, and that a warehouse did send out something that was NOT a CPU to CPU customers. He stated it was a "prototype or something". They will offer you an immediate refund or replacement." - http://www.overclock.net/rants-raves/682686-newegg-issue-fake-i7-920-retail-5.html#post8666385
