No significant add-on every does well for a console for a very simple reason: if its not built-in to the core system, game designers are very leery of designing around it.
Wii Fit seems to be doing excellent. Guitar Hero and its ilk (even though you can only use the accessory for the same style game.)
So even though the old style accessories never took off, these modern ones have done rather well. But they also had an excellent bundled product, making them worthwhile.
No, not all of us tree huggers are anti-Nuclear. We do have to counter protest Nuclear Power Plants and explain how much better and safer it is than the current situation. We try and get their attention by explaining that Wind Energy causes more human deaths than Nuclear Power. Heck, we even try and explain what Half-Life really means so people don't freak out over stuff with a half-life in the millions of years (hint, bring a glow stick.)
That reminds me, I've got a quest today at the gym that should reward me with +3con. That and my natural 18 charisma will go a long way to finishing my Friday Night quest.
Let's also remember this is an international flight... that had nothing to do with US Security. He snuck his "explosives" on in Nigeria, and got it through a simple plane change in Amsterdam.
How the US could imagine its all their own fault will be amazing, but I'm sure they can do it.
The same Army Crop of Engineers widened the channels that made this disaster occur. They are to blame from beginning to end, they are the most corrupt part of our government, taking handouts to do busy work, then throwing out all environment impact studies for a few dollar contribution from some happy developer.
They could have fixed it, but they preferred spending money on dredging yet another channel that no one actual would use. Bush doesn't need to be blamed for transferring money, the Corp does enough damage itself, but the agri subsidies it runs on its own corruption and no one wants to try and fix it.
They did not build the city next to the gulf and below water. Open a history book, this is a man made disaster, we humans have moved the Gulf to New Orleans and sunk the city. Its what happend when you destroy thousands of square miles of wetlands to allow a couple more ships per day up the Mississippi and ignore why people built New Orleans so far inland (it was to the Gulf originally as Baton Rouge is now.)
For a supposed bunch of intelligent people, most of you readers on Slashdot seem to know nothing of history, nor of engineered malfeasance.
I wish this was right at the top. I was hoping someone would point out that New Orleans was not naturally in a dangerzone.
The Army Corp of Engineers over a century of work has done so much damage to the surrounding wetlands that the Gulf has encroached hundreds of miles, and the city itself has sunk. The Army Corp in trying to tame the Mississippi doomed New Orleans to this fate, and then did nothing to protect it. Instead they waste money on dredging more channels that will be barely if ever used, and lead to more damaged wetlands and increased flooding.
GPS would have helped when the Burglar broke into my house and wasn't kind enough to close the back door they bashed in on the way back out.
My scared cat stayed inside, my 2 dogs also stuck around (the thieves did close the front door on the way out.) But my adventurous cat decided to take a walk. We had signs up, every shelter contacted. Our kitty has an ID Chip so if someone picked her up and take her to a vet we'd be okay.
Thankfully 2 weeks later she was meowing on our front porch to be let back in (guess all the tuna bait helped.)
If I had a small GPS locator I would have found her that first day, probably very close to where we were already looking.
All you have to do to see how bad our current practices effect the environment is take a boat ride out of the Mississippi delta and into the Gulf, its a gigantic deadzone formed by the fertilizer runoffs. I believe this years deadzone is slightly smaller than last year, only about 10% of the Gulf no longer supports life.
1. This just gives them more reason to not update, and go underground. 2. So many things these days get you labeled as a sex offender, that the odds are the person you're shunning is actually a decent human who had nothing to do with what your mind thinks.
Security Theater indeed. this stuff makes me actually angry.
Those were the best RPG's out there, and they really should be brought up for modern computing. BGII had a huge explorable world with more to do than needed. I'd love to see all 3 series updated.
IOW, the MILITARY does not want any more of these planes.
But the keyboard commando's want these plans badly, and while whine loudly about not getting their way. Quite often they will talk about strategy and tactical defense, from the PoV of someone who's only actual knowledge is that game of Risk back in college.
As a top ten percent user, this is it, the final straw. I'll pay the whole $3 a month for premium service. I hope they're happy, they've converted me from a non-paying user to a paid subscriber.
I hit the 40 hours probably the first week of every month, I require a soundtrack to be able to program, and Pandora works wonders for me.
Tie Fighter is still one of my absolute favorite games of all time. Even as I upgraded my computer for years I'd make sure I could still play it somehow. Its also the only reason I have a joystick.
So yes, I'd love to see it come back. I love Tie Fighters version of space combat.
Sad about the Phaeton. That car is a marvel of its own, VW threw everything they could to make it, but its popularity never took off because they stuck the VW badge on it.
When the president of a major auto company says no shortcuts, you get the Phaeton.
Nothing shocking here. Casio has there G'zone which is pretty damn hard to break. I got mine for Mountain Climbing,and also because I seem to drop phones into any water source (don't know if I'm cursed or not.)
One thing not advertised, these phones are rather large for a cellphone these days, so you can also use it as a blunt weapon.
Nice... So you also blame slow RV's on mountain roads too? And tourists? And old cars that are having trouble with power to get up? And of course, people driving the legal speed limit and safe speeds around blind curves.
Come on, you're just being a bad driver and don' want the blame. I drive in the rockies all the time, its got everything I mention, and if I drove like you I'd be dead by now, from colliding at high speed into another "motorized death machine".
Safe driving that prevent bicycle collision also prevents other forms of collision. I pray I never see you in Big Thompson Canyon.
When was the last time I didn't use a table tag on a page? Uh, today... the day before that, and before that.
I use tables rarely and only for displaying data, never for formatting a page. I stopped using tables for design years ago, that's why we have CSS.
I think its time for you to stop using tables for design. Tables lock your user into your content via your specific design. Flexibility and accessibility requires properly formatted CSS with divs and spans, knowing how to use floats and relative positioning.
I'm glad you mentioned the overwhelming parts of the charts related to billing and legal.
Right now its the CYA mentality which slows down a lot of ER work, and billing issues mixed in with actual health emergencies is just plain stupid.
Of course both of those issues could be solved by removing billing and legal issues, and pushing them straight to the Government. If everyone could just go to the doctor and not worry about cost (both sides) we'd be in better shape. Having the gov also look over malpractice can be very helpful (as you say, look at the VA.)
So do a lot of people. Personally, I love four-masted schooners, but I'm not pushing a government program for them to replace container ships.

Too bad. A couple major cargo shipment companies are looking at sail again. The speeds they've been doing lately to save fuel cost makes sail competitive again.
You also have those silly dutch who are building a custom wind based boat to transport their windmill blades/rotors across the Atlantic.
Your sarcasm was sadly to close to the truth (plus Windjammer cruises are the best.)
Back when I lived in Denver I walked from light rail stop to work or school in the winter (snow, freezing) and summer (90+ no humidity.)
I remember the down pour in spring once, and decided with my partner to run to a different stop, because it was fun (and Denver rain is freezing.) Then again, that was college days, doubt I'd do something like that again.
Still walking a mile or two from stop to work is something most people can adapt to (and in Downtown Denver the don't need to, with the mall bus and light rail routes crossing the whole city... most you'll walk is half a mile.)

If you use the tactics, methods and reasoning of deniers, denialists and conspiracy theorists, you need to understand the label applies to you.
But, only one of those arguments has tested science behind it. Just because it sounds good doesn't mean its true.
Shortening != Trans Fat.
You can go back and have cake, just don't put certain margarines and other artificial oils in it.

Everyone complaining about Politics and Free Speech, when this is all about Flickr bandwidth and publicity.
Probably someone low level saw the massive downloads, checked it out, and pulled it down because they thought it was bad publicity for the company.
But here on Slashdot, its a giant conspiracy wrapped in Enigma, with a side of cheese.
Pathetic.

Don't need to give up meat, just cut back. For your health, your paybook and your environment.
People can start out by just having one vegetarian day per week, it'll be a great start.
