I think that scene in Iron Man was demonstrating his optical tracking system, letting him rapidly designate as targets the people who were pointing guns at other people's heads. With a human in the driver's seat, the indicators would be pretty obvious.

First option here. I play WoW, and I spend a lot of my time in front of my home computer. I may only really play a couple hours a day, or even not at all, but I'm almost always logged in when I'm sitting down, letting mods process auctions or chatting or whatever.

Depends what he's after. I find Google is sometimes "smart" enough with its stemming, synonyms, and other inferences to give me exactly what I was very intentionally not looking for.

The sadder thing is, I think a lot of the people in the government doing this stuff really believe that too.

Ditto for BC Hydro.

Atheists have religious beliefs in the same way as an empty set has elements.

Yeah, 3.5 really knocked the Wizard and Cleric down to "still by far among the most powerful classes in the game."

Yeah, everyone knows that all power plants fail catastrophically at 50 years on the dot.

Or alternatively, "Plain cheese pizza: the empty set of toppings."

Note that you are not purchasing gold from them directly - it's an important distinction that no new gold is added to the economy as a result of this. It's functionally not really different from the CCG mounts and pets, which have been tradeable for a long time. A lot of the other things they've reversed their stance on, like PVE to PVP transfers and so on, were just arbitrary restrictions and have proven to be very useful services for a lot of people. If anything, it's more a slow process of caving to player demands than hunting for more cash (though I'm sure that's a happy side effect). I think they still understand where the line is for things that would damage the health of the game.
