yeah. all we have to do is sell it to the enemy.
It's important here that the youth of Japan grow up in very small houses, where even some have beds they have to pull out from the walls. It's all about small rooms and small things. or it could be that japanese youth have active lifestyles. They only go on the internet to get information they need, like train scheds, maps, or where to go for bargains, auctions. most highschool kids here dont like staying at home, otherwise people will call you 'otaku'. There could be a connection between average room sizes and maybe penis size, but i doubt if its the cause.
I'm against it, you may have gathered. Personally I think we should be growing brainless human bodies (as in never had a brain, never alive without external help), and test on them instead. Heck, we might even be able to cuts bits off them for people to use.
If we could grow brainless human bodies, why not just transplant our brains onto them so we dont have to worry about disease anymore.
They dont want to charge content providers for delivering content. they want a slice of the juicy profit that the content providers are getting out of the tubes that they have already paid for...greedy bastards.
(I do wonder about accurately reading the image on the screen during daylight in a desert though - maybe some goggles would be in order?)
I for one, am obligated to say... "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"
This lets you take all sorts of pictures of your room, and will automatically assemble them into a 3D environment. It will assemble your photos to look like an RPG, instead of a slideshow. wholly crap!! 3d pr0n!!
maybe title is missing an apostrophe.. and some double quotes too.
Watching My Neighbor's "Watch On-Demand TV"
would be more accurate but less eye catching.
He and the group realized that most paper manufacturers already inject fluorescent brightening agents in paper to enchance its "whiteness," so they worked to create certain combinations of toner that would allow the paper's fluorescence to shine through when exposed to ultraviolet light, i dont understand what they are doing that is new. they rely on the paper for fluorescence. So the printer is normal CMYK, but the paper has to have fluorescent agents in it for it to work... so what exactly is the new tech here?
But while China is a, Palestine is really a geographic area - so the comparison doesn't really fit. well the UK gave up any claim to Ireland when they signed the anglo-ireland treaty. so Ireland is really a separate country. No such thing happened between Taiwan (Republic of China) and the PRC. And the governing body of Taiwan(ROC) wants to be part of the mainland, but they want to be in control of the mainland. So, Taiwan is a part of China, because both governments agree to this. What they are disputing is control over China itself. Since the PRC cannot defeat the ROC outright, there is a stalemate at the moment.
So the only way your Ireland/UK analogy would fit is if, the queen got ousted by a communist rebellion, to escape she successfully invades and annexes Ireland. Then Ireland would be part of the UK.
I realize that my Palestine/Israel analogy breaks down at this point as well, but the point i was trying to make was... oh never mind. i forgot what it was.
Racist jokes aside, could someone tell me why, other than from negligence or corruption, any government would rely on a foreign, closed-source operating system? because bill gates wants to dominate the Chinese market? seriously, i think he is the anti-christ.

I say free will is relative to observer and subject. For us, a pachinko ball has no free will, we know its path is a result of gravity and the pins reacting on it. But if the pachinko ball had consciousness, it would think that it was choosing its path, and if it fell towards a path not of its choosing, it would reason that it was not entirely in control of its path, that shit happens sometimes. In our perspective, we have free will. we can choose if we want to do something or not. stay at home, dont go to work. But to a consciousness not bound by time (supposing there is one) our choices have already been made, and we would appear to it as not having free will. free will is relative.
Toyota's hybrid tech is not the be all end all solution, but it can be used with any other powersource, be it electric, combustion, fusion, matter-antimatter. It is a system that captures some energy you normally lose when engaging the brakes.
Are we ready for such a future? I read it as "Are we ready for such a feature?"
we should treat it as a feature. Dont add unless its necessary for the system to complete its function..
Says who? You? Heck, why don't we start arresting people for thought crimes, then?
In a nation of laws, people get punished for what they actually do, not for some prediction of what they might or might not do in the future. Apparently, you prefer to live in a totalitarian nation, in which the state can charge anybody with absolutely anything if they just so please." Yeah! Apparently YOU dont deserve to be TIME person of the year! oh, was that in another thread..damn.
Dude, no. Microsoft makes shit software because they can. Period. The market will tolerate it, so Microsoft has absolutely no need to put any more effort into it. I totally agree. So if we want M$ to make better products, we shouldnt reward them by paying for their crappy stuff.
Star Wars was more than just 6 movies for me. I was too young to watch Ep4 when it came out on the big screen, my dad bought it for me on Betamax, I was too young understand but I remember I was terrified of the sandpeople, and the jawas were creepy. My entire family loved it though and we even got the starwars christmas carols on cassette. I remember "what would you get a wookie for christmass..if he already owns a comb..?" was like a zen moment......what Im saying is, StarWars were landmarks of my life. I grew up with it, and I dont think watching the entire 6 movies in any order will give you the same ride that it gave me. Yes, I think the prequels were crappy, but I still enjoyed it... except all the scenes with jarjar in em.
To George: please dont try to fix it. dont change anything anymore, improving and cleaning up is good, but dont change, so what if Han shot first, he is a pirate isnt he?
anyway, thanks for letting me visit this universe you've created, the one Im living in tends to be to tedious sometimes.

Sweet. couple it with this software and your set!!

i totally agree. id give you mod points if i had it. Its sad that some people dont understand and try to take advantage of it.

Facial reconstruction? plastic surgery? ... I wonder if its too far off to make them into teeth?

I did not know it was this complicated. Thanks for the info dude. So basically Taiwan is like the US's boot up China's ass.

I think saying Taiwan is part of China, is much like saying Israel is part of Palestine.

I think this came first.
to what the man has to say. After all, they have found a very efficient solution to all their election problems, maybe he knows something we dont.
