Is this a problem most people face? Not to mention a truck isn't gonna be able to run away from anyone, driverless or not. Kinda sounds like you're inventing problems here and pret…

This couldn't be more wrong. The amount of glitches in BW that allow got micro potential is huge. It's actually one of the biggest complaints from BW players about SC2, the lack of…

Halo was an eSport but lost the qualities that made it a good eSport. The oringinal and Halo 2 were incredibly competitive games, but Halo 3 and especially Reach killed these aspec…

StarCraft was only ever big in Korea, StarCraft 2 is more so the opposite but that didn't come out until 2010. Counter Strike died in the mid 2000s and only in the last 2-3 years h…

Even still Counter Strike GO is not a resource intensive game. No one needs a top of the line PC to play that game at max settings. Also pretty much any tournament is not broadcast…

This isn't a re-branding. Google will stay Google.

I've heard that the human trafficking numbers increase with legal prostitution since volume increases also, even if the percentage is lower. The Netherlands has huge problems with …

That sounds nice in theory but in actuality is complete BS. On a site like Teamliquid.net, a video game/eSports forum and team, over 50% of visitors have ad blocked enabled and the…

But its the content creators being punished, not the ad companies. If anything ad blockers are in their interest since the type of person who blocks ads is probably the type of per…

You've never played their recent games then. Battle.net 2.0 is routinely called 0.2 and considered a step back in every single way, aside from FB integration I guess. It didn't eve…

From what I've heard McGill is very dependent by program, and education is by all accounts by far the worst program they offer.

I just spoke to a family member who's also a McGill grad and was told the education program is "the worst by a mile". It seems a little disingenuous to lump the education program i…

I just talked to a a family member who wen't to McGill's business school and according to her the education program is "the worst one by a mile", and is pretty much separate from a…

Because the vast majority of vehicle accident aren't criminal? Why would this be any different. If you've ever driven in Manhattan you'd know how easy it is for a mistake to happen…

Wouldn't the cost of living and taxes in those countries normalize the incomes a little bit?

That's as much their fault as it is the Olympics, plenty of other places (mostly smaller cities) are thriving because of the jump start the Olympics gave them.

For what it's worth, the village of Lake Placid currently has thriving tourist economy and the town is very well off. Without the 1932 and 1980 Olympics it would be a poor shit hol…

There's always more than one reason to justify the acquisition price, but surely the desire to purchase in the first play is a bit more singular? Such as wanting to jump start thei…

How much time have you tried customizing it to your liking? I couldn't stand Windows 8 before some serious tweaking, which don't get me wrong is a massive design flaw, but if you d…

Windows 8 really isn't that bad. I avoided it like the plague when it was first released mainly due to the lack of start menu but between the 8.1 update and classic shell maturing …

Generally they don't unless their doing something illegal. Most politicians are reasonably to very wealthy going into office, and being a high ranking politician basically secures …

But realistically you do at some point. Sacrificing 1% of profits for a 20% safety increase is reasonable and smart, but doing the reverse would never happen. Environmental impact …

> 97%+ of shareholders understand that Apple goes the extra mile in sustainability and agrees with that approach. Meh. Over 50% of Apple stock is owned by institutional investors a…

It's not an idiotic line, it's just incomplete. They have a legal obligation to their shareholders demands, whether that be profits or otherwise. That is a simple fact that can't b…

>companies are legally obligated to maximize profits/shareholder value What this should really say is "obligated to maximize shareholder demands". It has nothing to do with ROI per…
