Yeah, I would find the percentage of death vs use more interesting... especially if compared to the same statistic for when they shoot people.

I have similar issues; not enough room, no good place set up, all that...so I definitely believe that the potential top-end of my productivity is lower at home than it is in the office. But! my company bought into the whole open-office thing, and the distractions in the office are non-stop. So, my "realized" productivity at home is actually quite a bit higher than when I'm in the office, despite non-ideal conditions.

More like the rights holders for that non-original content have been slowly but surely starving Netflix of content, bringing about this situation. Sure, I wish all that old stuff that I originally subscribed to see was still available, but I don't blame Netflix for not re-upping when the movie studios et al keep trying to eat all of their profit.

But let me ask you this. If you had worked and trained your whole life for something that you probably only had one shot to accomplish, would you give that up easily?
So what you're asking is,
if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

What gets me about this is that it's specifically talking about natural selection, which has been demonstrated to be true in countless observations. Natural selection doesn't make any conclusion about the origin of all life, it just says "things that are better suited to an environment are more likely to outnumber things that are unsuited to that environment". Whether you want to teach evolution or creationism, natural selection still demonstrably exists. See also: the peppered moth.

i must correct you.
only when you attempt to play the game they are currently play are they then booted from the game.
And I must correct you...read the FAQ: http://store.steampowered.com/sharing
Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library?
Libraries are shared and borrowed in their entirety.
Can a friend and I share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.
When I authorize a device to lend my library to others, do I limit my own ability to access and play my games?
As the lender, you may always access and play your games at any time. If you decide to start playing when a friend is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

Submission + - EFF reverse engineers Carrier IQ config (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "At this point we have a fairly good idea of what Carrier IQ is, and which manufacturers and carriers see fit to install it on their phones, but the Electronic Frontier Foundation — the preeminent protector of your digital rights — has taken it one step further and reverse engineered some of the program’s code to work out what’s actually going on. There are three parts to a Carrier IQ installation on your phone: The program itself, which captures your keystrokes and other “metrics”; a configuration file, which varies from handset to handset and carrier to carrier; and a database that stores your actions until it can be transmitted to the carrier. It turns out that that the config profiles are completely unencrypted, and thus very easy to crack."
