Comment Re:FIFA and Madden: Gambling? (Score 1) 203

It comes down to whether you know what is in the pack before you buy it, or whether it is unknown and open-ended. For example, if the packs self-limit themselves to players you don't have already, then it isn't open-ended as there is a full set that will be acquired in a fixed time/cost. But if there is a reasonable chance that you'll get 100 Renaldos in a row and none of the other legendary players, and you can't trade with other game players, then it is likely open-ended and therefore gambling.

You spend a couple of minutes wandering through the menus to find the Wifi diagnostics page and see if it got an IP address. Unless you think that there are two wifi cards in the TV with one connecting completely hidden from you.

If you really want to prevent it ever getting an address by accident if an open AP wanders into range, set the mode to static, set the address to 127.1.2.3/31 and watch it trying to arp a non-existent gateway.

The reasoning behind using negative questions is to force your mind to consider the negative states honestly. Unless you are in a severely depressed state, the ability of the mind to promote positive aspects over negative aspects will skew the evaluation. Those positive questions you pose are being asked, just in a way that your mind is forced to be honest in evaluating it. That's what the 0 answer is for.

From one of the articles linked from a reader above, it's 100 days after the signing of the grid interconnect contract with whoever runs the Aussie national grid, not the supply contract with Musk.

Hope they have a site ready for him, leveling and concreting a section of land can take years. Yeah, yeah, I know Aussie is flat, but not that flat.
