I understand it's frustrating, but the license is there for an entirely different purpose, same with the email. Not to be heartless, but if they took the time to read the license, I would hope they understand then what the license is a

Well, I think this is probably a case where a bit of number crunching will save the day - considering a world in which driverless cars are the norm and fully embraced by the city, the coordination system can likely determine based on histor

Late reply but thanks for the heads up - I wasn't aware that prng was a term that I could be using as opposed to prd. The above comment is accurate in how I first came across the term as it's pretty commonly used in a lot of games

Nah, it's just how these games are. The first two fire emblem games on GameCube/wii were merciless in the same way on the normal modes. 80% hit chance sounds good until you miss and the entire battle goes south because of it. Sin

Well, part of the issue is the audio is part of what they want you to hear because it's considered more effective than just text moving. Animated ads were tried, and I'm going to assume that they weren't considered as effecti

Well, other places in the world deal with it slightly differently as well. I currently live in St. Petersburg, Russia, and very few stores hand out plastic bags for free; most charge a small fee (5 ruble is the most I've seen) per bag.

I agree, with a "but", however. It's not just that now there are more points of views to reference and understand, it's that now people do have the ability to reinforce their beliefs with articles and commentaries from v

yeah, they don't look to have support for the graphics drivers like parallels does, but for some older games that just need a lightweight Windows VM to run on, it'd be fine. If it gets more active development, I'm sure it can

My interpretation was not to take the specific services so literally but instead to focus on how content has centralized to a few specific places that come with a lot of excess baggage to get at content instead of it being spread out across

Very cool. Pretty much flawless on iOS (8.3) right down to just opening the pdf in iBooks. Loads fast enough that I can grab it between stops on the metro. Is the date going to pre-fill with the current date in future revisions? On my red.

I appreciate healthy skepticism, but evidence has been thrown out on far flimsier premises by even the lowest of courts. It would be very surprising if evidence of this manner continually survived through the court system on appeal after ap

Heh, as someone who was on SSRIs for a long time at high dosages, they definitely do something, but the issue is less whether the drugs do anything and more what you do during that time. Personal experience with Sertraline - it doesn't
