Defense of King's Landing? You mean the event that everyone immediately dismissed and took credit away from him? How many characters even recall it that way? It was significant at that moment, but dwindled away to next to nothing almos

I would say there is no single main character to the story.

This is only a popularity contest among the known characters and their known interactions. For instance, Littlefinger started out seemingly as a small player but then we learn later he was actually a rather significant player in almost all

Don't generalize, I'm over 40 and don't agree with that statement.

I understand, I think it was explained fairly well. I'm just saying that since the super punch event appears to be an event that is not necessarily random (granted it does to me from memory without researching it), I don't agree t

But these are super punches by the boss that may knock the player out in one hit, so it isn't a common punch for the boss to use. If I remember correctly, the timing and number of times the super punch is used is loosely based on how w

The only time it makes sense to me is when the minor issue gets an unreasonable amount of attention based on emotions rather than science to the point that other issues that may actually be far more important are ignored. Such as shifting l

It would be difficult to nail down a value in general since it will vary from person to person. But to a capitalist market a mother's love of her child is of huge value. Because that child is immediately a part of that market due to th

It's already being done again, just under a different name. It started again as soon as the bailout checks cleared.

Dave Chappelle had an excellent skit on his show about that very thing. Except, true to Dave's style, it was reversed.

Considering that $5B is a drop in the bucket compared to the damages done, I'd rather they spin the wheel.

Yep, give me $100 with maybe having to give back $1 while admitting it was wrong and I'm sure I'll never do that deal again.

I would imagine the stitching required a good bit of overlap of a video with its neighboring videos.

Well, I'm not sure of the legalities of such a thing. I'm sure I signed something somewhere that stated I must not do that. I can see lots of pages referencing the fact it existed, but I only saw one screenshot that looked like it

Could be, but based on the tax assessment history we can see on Zillow I would hope it's not going to be reassessed to 50k or more above last year's assessment.

I was there, it was an interesting thing to see that's for sure.

I once worked on an Austin Powers game for the PS2. I think I still have some screenshots on a CD somewhere in the closet.

What I find interesting in my area is that many houses are being sold for a high price above the listed tax assessment from the previous year. Then once it gets appraised during the sale process it is valued close to the tax assessment, whi

Yes indeed, many used them in the past to deny minorities jobs.

I hate that this sounds like I'm arguing, because I'm not. I just find this discussion interesting. If the device learns over time from grandma turning the dial up and down, does that not create strange data for the device to figu

Good point, I guess I should have said it's a subjective result that too many treat as if it were an objective pass/fail result.

Could not the same things happen with a Nest?

Well, I believe IQ tests during an interview process is illegal in the US. Anyway, I would say it's not necessarily a good way to consider a candidate as the results can be subjective and doesn't indicate what to do if the best co

by talmand 11y ago
But isn't that just a small part of the Nest idea? Wouldn't the same thing be accomplished by getting someone to do it for them? Much like your grandmother and you? You set it up for her, she likely has to rarely deal with it agai

But wouldn't those people not able to program their current thermostat, for whatever reason, would have to be able to program their new fancier thermostat?

There's no easy solution to this. Mainly because CSS barely knows what a baseline is and there's very little in CSS that affects the baseline or something to that effect. What we call baseline can vary from font-to-font, browser-t

Seems Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and many others are solving your online storage dilemma as we speak. Of course, there is the question of how historians shall gain access to all that data originally stored for people would be dead by then.

I agree that's the idea, but based on many patents I've seen it's not the reality.

by talmand 11y ago
No, not really. There are many, many, many patents that are obviously not a working invention. You just have to be able to tell a good story and pay the fee.
