Unless you consider the negative environmental impact of disposing/recycling all those used cars and the manufacture of newer ones. We would have done less damage to the planet by forcing everyone to drive the car they had an additional year before they could buy a new one.
And thats completely ignoring the fact that the fuel saved by cash for clunkers was only about 1/5th the cost of the program.
If I had traded in my 18mpg Oldsmobile for a 30mpg car, I would have only saved about 250gallons a year. At 3 per gallon, that only saved me $750 dollars. How much of my tax money did the government spend on it though? Oops.
Android DOES currently use multi touch, though there is little of it in the UI as theres very little need for it. Maps, photos and browser all support it fine on all modern handsets and several 1.6/1.5 devices as well.
I could see this incorporated as you say, a file browser perhaps. The 3D media gallery included in newer releases is pretty great on its own and would merge with these "gestures" quite nicely.
My guess is they wanted the patents. We are likely looking at the future of multi touch on android as well as chrome. A lot of this seems to be mutli touch just for its own sake, but some of these seem genuinely useful.
I too played it years ago and it had great potential and an incredible, although small, community. Over the years it changed hands and each company lost players as it took its time to bring the game back online.
Perhaps now something will come of it, this would be truly great.
I have been playing musical instruments since I was 6 years old. I have played many things from piano to trumpet to my current love, bass guitar. I find that I have little problem carrying on a conversation when I am playing a song I am familiar with, but when I am playing something new or something that requires improvisation, I cannot even carry on rudimentary conversation while playing.
I have trouble even answering yes or no questions until I reach a point where I can rest for a short period in the song or until a chorus returns where I am not formulating what I am about to play next. It sort of feels like I am 'speaking' through the instrument.
The flash drive method is very much supported and works great in my experience. I do about 10 installs a week and I use a USB flash drive for all of them. I have yet to run into a single instance where installing from flash hasn't worked. Its not only faster, its a heck of a lot quieter too.
When I return the machine to the customer their Windows disc is all nice and intact and I never had to touch it.

When its sitting there "not being used", its also not drawing a few hundred watts and spewing waste heat into your room. Why should my card ramp up for some lame 2d graphics on a webpage?
"Proof beyond reasonable doubt" is required to convict, not to prove one innocent. Innocent until proven guilty still applies - unless you are being sued for copyright infringement, of course. You have it backwards.
I realize Canada is a party to the Berne Convention, but what does a US Judge have to do with a site run entirely in Canada?
On a side note, the original judgement against them was the categorized system in which users access torrents, specifically that it had sections for movies, music and such that could be browsed without a search input. They have been working on a "lite" version of the site that removes all the functionality that the MPAA complained about and are hoping to present it as a way to stay in operation and still satisfy the courts.
Well, my comment was primarily sarcasm. I pirate out of convenience. I pay for cable and DVR, but its easier for me to simply torrent the ~4 shows I follow than it is to fight with the family and watch them on the TV. I pay for an all-you-can-listen music service but the DRM required means I cant listen to the music (I pay extra to use it on a mobile device)on my phone, the only mp3 player I own.
I feel justified in this action because the content creators have already gotten their share from me. If they cant provide me with what I pay for, I will turn to whoever will.

Not true, there is very little torque required. A small DC motor is more than sufficient.

You left out the shooter-on-rails sections and the meaningless collection of objects to unlock achievements.
I knew I wasn't the only one holding onto his K1000's. Maybe soon we will get something like this.
I am become the destroyer of grammar.
Try hamachi. Free, incredibly easy VPN software. Me and friends host borderlands all the time and never have any trouble at all.

I would constitute grinding gears as "strain", wouldn't you?

Thats news to me. I have three browsers installed on my phone.

Whoah! Huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!
Its a technique to match input rpm to output rpm when down-shifting so you cause less strain on the gearbox.
Ironic then that there is also an adblock+(flashblock too) for google chrome.
Because opening control panel and typing "UAC" in the search field is really hard.
