Yeah, a big part of their design philosophy is that everyone will get to call in Titans, no matter if they're doing well or not. And they want the Titans to respawn quickly enough that you're not afraid to lose yours.

Yeah, the sets are insane, but even the buckets of assorted bricks?

Digital goods should be the same price across regions (barring actual additional expenses). So something that costs $10 in the US should cost $10 in the UK. The problem is companies like to just change the symbol in front of the prices, so something that costs $10 in the US costs £ in the UK, which means it actually costs $16.70 in the UK. That's bullshit. The people who should be "paying for it" as you say are the people whose currency is worth less (so the US in this example). If a British company is selling stuff for £10 in the UK and then they expand their sales to the US they'd be retarded to just charge $10 for it, because they'd be losing $6.70 on every US sale. The only reason companies pretend $=£=€ is because they want to be able to price gouge without it being just super obvious at a glance.

Do your parents hate you?

Ah, I just saw on his wikipedia page that he was listed as director for that.
-
I've always read that Xbox makes MS money, and that "source" for the $2 billion per year losses is just some analyst saying "Based on absolutely nothing, we believe this to be the case."
-
He also directed Thor: The Dark World, so he can probably handle it.

1 £ is significantly more money than 1 €, or 1 $, (atm £1.00 ~= €1.21 ~= $1.67) so when stores set their prices for £ = € or £ = $ it actually means he's paying more than what he should be. That would be what he's complaining about. *Edit* - And all other things being equal I'll buy direct from the dev, but I'm certainly not going to pay more to do so (or at least not significantly more, I'll pay a couple percent more).

Yeah, I've got Chrome set to open to all the sites I normally visit.
-
Yeah, the show is really heavily based around all the little things and how their consequences interact, so at the beginning it takes a while to set up the things before they really start causing their ripples.
-
Yeah, I pretty much spent all my time in the level creator building ridiculous vehicles rather than levels.
-
I think Zoe's actress fits the character. I totally agree whoever cast it deserves an award. Why don't they give Oscars for best casting?
-
Yeah, just watched the first episode of Season 2 and let me say: Holy shit! I also really liked the very end of the episode (really really minor spoiler): Definitely off to a very strong start. I can't wait to watch the rest.

It's sad that it's easier to find a statute number by googling "[state name] statute" than it is to find it using the professional research services.

I find that physical books are the most help in that sort of scenario. It might be the only scenario in which I find physical books helpful.
-
I think it's sad that legal research tools are bad at what they're supposed to do well, though. Although you can find statutes and regulations with google, the interior links and secondary material in Westlaw are far better than what you'd get with a link to a state's terribly formatted statute web page. The legal search tools also are much better about keeping regulations up to date than the states themselves, which often publish them in hard-to-search pdf scans of their stat...

Yeah, I only ever use the google search to find the statute number, which I then take to Westlaw to actually look it up. When I use the physical books is when I'm trying to do a more high-level look at the topic. Google is for when I know there's a specific statute I want but I don't know the number.
-
I doubt anywhere near all of them care, but I'm sure there's a good number who do.

Oh. It's a cover shooter. *Edit* - Here's a new actual trailer:

Back to the antivirus: I'm with dean, use Microsoft Security Essentials.
-
My favorites are the Psycho one and Alien.
-
You mean like Call of Duty Ghosts?
-
Yeah, I got lastpass after there was the Sony hack and another one in quick succession, causing me to have to change all my passwords twice in less than a month. I didn't actually have them all be identical, but they were similar enough that I wasn't comfortable keeping them.
-
I didn't mean physically build, I just meant acquire/provide/whatever. Have in some fashion.
-
I said it wasn't economical, not that it wasn't possible.
-
No company's servers can stand up to the initial tidal wave of users on something as hotly anticipated as this game. It's just not economical to build that kind of capacity when it won't sustain itself.
-
Not sure if that's a joke or not FDS, but if it is I like it.
-
Great game, though I haven't played the definitive edition yet.
