Good news then! Its free to play and you do not need to give them a cent to play!

Its not so much misleading as to say without the deals it can cost about that much per new weapon. As another person stated you dont need to unlocked newer weapons for the most part to be successful. The concept that you need to pay money to do anything in this game is false. If my goal was to not spend any money in this game I could get away with it but only with a disadvantage that I'd unlock weapons slower than someone who drops cash for it.

until you go to upgrade anything and it all costs money, ridiculous amounts of money.

No, you get certs as you gain xp. New weapons require certs or station cash. The average cost for a new weapon is $6.00. The cert points are higher which a casual player can gain enough after a week or two to get a new weapon. Then, certs can also be used to enhance your class, weapon, or vehicle. You cannot spend station cash to upgrade a vehicle beyond unlocking a weapon.

a great game shackled with a horrible 'pay for every little piece of functionality' mode.

Again you do not need to spend any money to play the game and unlock weapons or buy the enhancements. You have an option to pay cash to unlock weapons but in no way are you required to spend any money at all. Cert points are required no matter what and have to be earned by playing the game.

He means in the terms of dividends. The corporation is taxed and what they pay in dividends, being already taxed, gets taxed again when it goes to the investor. The argument is flawed since as a person who pays income tax every paycheck, I'm being "taxed" twice by the same logic.

Easier said than done. There would be a lot of new science required just for planet terraforming that does not exist today. An example, how to make the planet's core more active to support tectonic plates so that the rock material from crashing asteroids into the planet get recycled into larger rocks. Then there is calculating the right amount of liquid water needed to sustain the planet and somehow transport it whether its crashing comets into the planet. Altering the planet's rotation if its tidally locked, its axis if we want to have seasons (which I believe would be required), and potentially a moon with enough mass to exert influence to maintain them. The other issue is this isnt something that is currently completable in the average person's life time, it would be many generations down the line where they might be able to work on phase 2.

No but you must feel pretty stupid because the shells eject from the side downwards, not back upwards at the person firing the gun, that would be a stupid design. More than likely she was a passenger in the vehicle and one fell down on her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb3eoKhRS9A

I'm sort of confused, what do you think the cable does? Its a data cable with the ability to supply power. USB cables do both. In fact, the dock cable is *drum roll* USB! Maybe the first ever ipod connector with 30 pins was not USB, I dont know I started to buy apple products in 2007, but its nothing special other than a USB cable what you get today. The same video and audio can pass right over it, and with drivers so can everything else you said.

The difference in cost is significant, so yes they are selling it for a mark up. Apple didnt innovate nothing other than pulling a Sony and creating a proprietary cable. The new cable will just be more of the same and the only difference will be the amount of money I have to shovel out for new accessories because the old ones dont have the same connector when I upgrade my phone.

Yes but there are other applications that this would be better suited. You could grow new arteries for bypass patients, instead of having to harvest from other parts of the body. That alone would allow people with clogged arteries the ability to be able to do strenuous activity. Eventually they will be able to do more complex but this is a huge milestone.

We use centrify express and the uid/gid conversion results in a number far higher than 1000. Its a good system if you start out that way but will be a pain when you change uid/gid schemes. I dont think its going to be a problem with a really good system administrator group because uid/gid combinations should have been standardized from the start for service accounts and users.

This change doesnt really do anything important. It means that when you add a user without specifiying a uid it will default to the next available uid after 999. The only issue this will pose in a real environment is if there is no centralized account administration and sys admins are not paying attention. I honestly use centrify express, which uses arbitary high uid scheme, based off active directory (unfortunately a required to use it), which is something that can be configured for ldap/kerb setups too.

Or was it? Godzilla might have been the real cause of the earthquake...

Pretty sure, in the bolded statement that they meant report it to a superior officer or up the chain of command, not to media outlets....

If he truely had the intention of trying to bring to light some questionable acts, he went about it the wrong way. To explain in IT terms, its like finding out your company is storing passwords in plain text files, do you A) tell your management or B) Post them on the internet? If your management does not listen, then you go further up the chain. That is the right and responsible thing to do.

Sigh, you're trying to compare two different situations, like the replies to this post too. No one ever got hung for keeping secrets. They got hung because they took part in the act or ordered it. Manning was not in that helicopter shooting people, he is some guy who found the video and leaked it. Two completely different scenarios that people apparently just dont get.

I rather JAG be notified and them handling the actual investigation other than some lowly private who sat and watched a few videos and came to his own conclusion without interviewing the pilots, the commanding officers, and etc.

But hey I guess this private has lots of experience in this field.
