According to Wikipedia there have been 27 school shootings since 1995, in those school shootings, 320 people have been killed (it is hard to tell how many of those were children, but a safe estimate would be half of them were because the incidents happened at school). I would say that a 27 to 1 ratio for incidents and around 160 children dead vs. 19 children dead is "in much smaller numbers".

But arguing about what kills more people is missing the point entirely. The problem is not that people can find some creative ways to kill other people, the problem is that currently it is very easy for a kid who has problems to grab a handgun and gun down whoever he doesn't like. The solution is not just outlawing guns, part of the solution probably has to be figuring out who these kids are and helping them adjust better to whatever they are going through, however, saying that because there are crazy people out there killing other people then we shouldn't do anything about school shootings is a bit like saying we should not spend any money researching a cure for cancer because people still sometimes die of the flu.

Well, at this point, even with your phone in your pocket and your laptop at home we all know you bough Apple and you even made it a point to note that it was expensive so, yes, I would say that it is important for Apple customers to be seen as people who have money to spend on expensive electronics.

From looking at the cover, maybe this was an issue with it looking very, very similar to another series of books that is fairly famous?

This, this a hundred times! I bought Driver: San Francisco on the Steam Summer Sale and was poignantly disappointed when I discovered that it was not protected with Steam but with UPlay. And it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't look as horrible, didn't feel as rushed, didn't have an annoying bug where it would not shut down properly when I tell it to shut down (it keeps on running in the background until I kill the process). Really, who thought it was a great idea to reinvent the wheel only this time it is square.

So mention one person who makes money out of Windows except for every person who makes money out of Windows because I disqualify them. Got it!

1. Valve
2. National Instruments
3. Piriform
4. Grig Software
5. Norton
6. McAfee
7. IBM

8. Just going from things in my start menu that either I or my company bought and as far as I am aware none of them are moving to the web and/or in decline (unfortunately in the case of McAfee).

His point was not that the model of "pay for what you play" was very original, it was that the model shouldn't be called "free to play." It is misleading (and infuriating, at least to me) to get a game that is "free to play" and then realize that you cannot really play it unless you pay. Also, the problem with this model is that most of the times you will get an experience that is clearly broken just to make you spend money with advertisements for in-game stuff every two seconds (an example I have played recently is Dungeon Defenders where, even if you have bought the DLC, you are still shown three ad screens before being allowed to play), in an arcade you have a much better grasp of exactly what you are paying for.

Well, them and CyanogenMod users and developers which I would want to believe is a large-ish group.

Then, instead of having to go to blog A, twitter feed B and podcast C you only go to one place and save time.

Totally not true! I see them everywhere, all Microsoft interns got free Microsoft Phones and some of them even use it!

But after that we don't really want it...

This brings back amazing memories. Back in 1994 I was walking through a mall and found a bargain bin with 10 games for the price of one. Most were terrible but Space Quest 4 was gold. It is still one of the best games I have ever played. I really hope they get enough funding for the game.

The fact that the author did not intend to put it there does not mean it is not there. It could very well be that Lucas was going for space soap opera and he actually created believable, interesting characters who actually do tell us something about ourselves and answer some interesting philosophical questions. Also, many critics believe that, during the original trilogy filming, Lucas didn't have enough power to overturn any decision made by intelligent, creative assistants who actually know a lot about films. This, in turn, made a lot of the bad decisions he made in the new trilogy more apparent.

Because programming LEGOs is awesome! Really, take a look at some of these videos. There are also a lot of competitions for middle level school children and there is a big push to get it into computer science classes at elementary and middle school level, so it is being used a lot by younger kids.
