You forget Brother Kaft, that mac users are not only stupid but also jerks. He probably knows he's a liability to the team, but does it anyway just to spite you. I say you arrange for an accidental incident in which his precious retarded-user-safe Mac somehow (w/ no fault to yourself of course) is exposed to a morphing BIOS level worm. Oh, and blame it on the guy who can't speak Swedish.

Jags, this article argues two points that she was surrounded by her own supporters. The only way she could have avoided suicide bombing is the same one everyone has to use, varying her routes, and applying total secrecy. But she was clearly ignoring the risks in order to raise her profile. Performing those PR functions was part of her role as a democratic politician. Given that the presidential elections are coming up, a desire to raise one's profile is not only reasonable but categorically required to effectuate the electoral process. As someone whom purports himself to be a democrat, Musharraf should have a vested interest in doing everything reasonable in his power to protect his fellow democratic candidates from foreseeable dangers. Given that terrorists attempted to assassinate Bhutto with bombs on her very return, Musharraf knew or should have known about the dangers posed to her. And assuming he's some kind of idiot who can't even appreciate such risks, the senators' requests should have hammered in the presence of the foreseeable danger. But for the denial of the detonation jammers and bomb detection equipment requested, her death would not have occurred. So Musharraf's denial was an actual cause and a substantial factor in bringing about her death. To vitiate all blame on Bhutto's stipulated assumption of the risk would not be correct. From the article, it appears that she did everything reasonable in her power to prevent the bombing in the circumstances of her status as an upcoming presidential candidate. I understand what you're saying though. But applying total secrecy, etc would be an option for perhaps a hermit whose need to interact with the public is remote. Partial blame can only be attributed to Bhutto if she acted unreasonably in voluntarily exposing herself to known risks, or that her standard of care fell below that which was reasonably required for her own protection. I don't think either is the case.

Also: Say hello to Lance Corporal Jags.

That's pretty much what I mean, Muso. Given that MotB is still in the forgotten realms setting, it technically has to be high fantasy, but its execution distances itself as far as elvenly possible.

Call of Duty 4 on xbox live. But all you jerks are offline!

I told you the end credits music was awesome!

Yet little did the hornswoggled Lord Crockwraith know about the events that transpired prior to his bloody showdown with the bearer of the Sword of the Infinite (Misses). For such was the serendipitous cunning of our protagonist, that during his inspection of the princess' safety, he accidentally with absolutely no fault of his own, impregnated the comely maiden in her slumber! Stayed tuned for... Lylox's Revenge: The Son of Lylox.

Speaking of which, this one's for football (soccer) fans: What's the difference between the Highbury squirrel and Tottenham FC? The squirrel has Champions League experience.

Which is exactly why a lot of us are fed up. The majority of RPGs are high fantasy. Also, I think DR wants pixie and Nick to go downtown if you know what I mean. I wonder who's getting sloppy seconds.

Musharraf denied Bhutto's (and 3 US senator's) requests for reasonable security for her after the attempted October assassination.

And Smiling Jack is V:tM's Chuck.

What ticks me off is that I can't get the widescreen resolutions on nwn2 (even though I can for other games) without my FPS falling to a pitiful level.

Why are our presidential candidates always such a joke?

Go go alan! Don't take any plak from a spawning-killing Orc. (I must resist the temptation to get this game).

Which in turn translates to 10-14 in its shipped by UPS.

Thanks for letting me know about that third link. Stupid wiki put a full-stop at the end of the url botching it up. But I think I know what your asking now. Here in the US, the courts will enforce contracts of adhesion ("take it or leave it" deals from the offeror which leaves the offeree no capacity to negotiate), UNLESS the term being assented to is objectively outside the scope of teh offeree. That is to say, a person not creating the contract (but agreeing to the contract) would reasonably be expected to agree to that term given the surrounding circumstances of the purported deal. As such, the enforceability of say, signing away a right, cannot be conclusively absolute in the abstract, but is dependent on the facts of the case. So in your previous example of termination of WoW accounts, they would do an objective test of whether a WoW user would reasonably expect the termination of his/her account to be within the scope of the his contract with Blizzard. And very likely the courts would indeed deem it to be so (as opposed to say giving Blizzard permission to bulldoze your house). The above is the majority way the US handles contracts of adhesion. The minority way a few states do it is via a subjective test of whether the seller knew that if the buyer was aware of the term (i.e signing away a right) then he/she would not have agreed. But that's only done in a couple states so it's not very prevalent.

The dream-pop track in the credits was fantastic!

It sounds like you're not getting sufficient frames per second. If this is on the PC, then it might be that your video card is not up to scratch. Click on "start", then "run", and type in "dxdiag". Then click on the display tab, and let us know the name, chip type, and total video memory that appears in the device sub-heading.

Yeah, but you guys have to consider that The Witcher and MotB are not what you would call high fantasy. Here they may seemed be cloaked in a high fantasy setting, but The Witcher is more of visceral modern-day allegory, while MotB's use of hags and witches (instead of elves, dwarves, etc) heavily draws inspiration upon shamantic and tribal mythologies across the world.

It depends. The courts will enforce EULAs when the user ticks that little "I agree" checkbox on the dialog box of installation wizards, but they won't enforce agreements when clicked through URL links. Are you sure? From my understanding, they haven't actually been tested. I'm positive. Well, at lest in our good 'ol USA. Any additional terms raised in the digital iteration of the agreement that the user assents to are called "click-wrap" contracts, and there is a split of opinion of when they're enforceable. Note that these are different from "shrink-wrap" contracts, such as box-top licenses. Those are considered to act as mere confirmations. So if the company sneaks in additional terms on the box of your software, then they won't be enforceable (Step-saver vs. Wyse Tech). But going back to the "click-wraps", if the user assent is provided via the EULA dialog box, then the terms are binding (ProCD vs. Zeidenberg). However, agreement to terms via clicking through URL links are not enforceable: (Specht vs. Netscape Communications) ^a direct wiki link to the last url won't work for whatever reason, but if you scroll down there should be a link to the case.

I would say that if you're going for a melee character who primarily deals damaged with the swords, then specialize in Aard and Quen (in addition to str, dex, and stam). If you're going for a magic damaging character then pump Igni, Int, and all mana boosting/regenerating skills.

Of course not. We were born arch-magi.

Probably not, but they should. Some of them are pretty crazy in what they get you to agree to. i.e. obtaining your consent to leach a tiny bit of your bandwidth for their network lattice-frame purposes.

I need to check you into a WoW addicts clinic, Alan. This madness must come to a stop! I'm probably more addicted than he is. Just how many hours (and $$$) did it take you to get that Lvl 70 char? Now I've never played WoW, but even I know that that's pretty much the max level, no?

The reviews on AVP-R are shockingly dire. I think I'll wait 'till this comes to cable.
