Oh wait Phil Plate is being the retard here nvm... we can move along. No overarching conspiracies. Just one dumb skeptic that has to bring up some old bullshit every time something happens remotely related to their experiences.
I find it od why they have to compare what looks like two completely separate phenomena. One is symmetrical, a mono heu, scews, lasted a long time, and blurred, while the other is asymmetrical, doesn't blur, and doesn't fade to a direction, is multi-parted and hued, and lasted a short time.
Is this some rant... whats with the accreditation to Phil Plait. The two incidents are in no way similar. The news agency is dumb.
I really believe the current one is a missile launch. But I am extremely skeptical about the light show over Norway being caused by a missile.
Just some B.S. news story full of ignorance that looks like its trying to still downplay the Norway spiral after all this time.
So either the news person is dumb or they are both dumb and working to erode peoples perceptions of reality.
By the way my smoked salmon comes from Thailand imported into California. Seems like it would be cost inefficient to burn all that diesel fuel and run those container ships. When it could be sailed down the coast or shipped overland or by plane from the NW. So its not even just electronics.
The leading manufacturer of owned assets overseas. How much actually gets made in the USA? Don't BS because the "ledger" goes to some fat ass in wall street.
Who owns Sony-Erikson and where are their manufacturing facilities?
Because you don't. You make it for your neighbors and sell it to your friends. Rather than raping and pillaging the rest of the world through some corporate illusion that Foxconn is a good company.
And plastics (Dupont) (Union Carbide from back in the day).
People of America you are getting bamboozled and ripped off. You could be making these things yourselves in your own small companies and making 100% of the profit. Yet you are a consumer of some megacorp that borders on monopoly and exports all trade and work oversease. These huge companies make and buy the materials for these things for slave labor cost or less.
If we did it ourselves, it'd be the same cost because it is marked up so much. Yet you would get the profit. Not some rich 1% person living behind so much government force and protection you can never take them on.
You live off the fat of your investments and the trickle down economics of McDonalds.
This, we need to push the boundaries of the human race. It is only infeasible and inefficient because we don't want to develop the tech to do it. Two centuries of manned missions and it'll change the entire landscape of our civilization.
Manned missions are indeed actually the better long term investment. Robot missions are great for JPL however who has the market cornered.
You cannot take any criticism of your stupid GTA games.
Seriously. Those of you fanboing this franchise please step outside of your basements and take a look around. Re-evaluate your priorities. And stop marking -5 troll people who tell you your shit stinks.
I really genuinely think this is most likely the most genuine EMO response I have ever gotten on the web. You all are nerd cred revoked.
GTA's satire is weak sauce compared to other games. Mostly I guess because they didn't want to break something called 'immersion'. Which is broken by their above dedication to a non-hollywood esque environment. It totally does not suit educated and enlightened tastes.
Lots of methane or trace amounts? Or very little at all? What isotopes.
Mars is a dead planet, supposedly if there where any life at all it would only exist in extremely unique and sheltered conditions.
Sending a probe to an exposed crater is not likely to produce results. Mars needs a century of exploration, or at least a few decades of manned exploration before we can say yes, no, maybe with much of a degree of certainty. I've seen more yes's than no's. And this mission is a weak no in my book.
I'm making an assumption here based on my own biased information. I suppose not so smart. But I've learned that my intuition is pretty dead on. It would be interesting to see the average income level, education, and IQ of all these first day sales though.
Who cares. I think its dumb to be buying the brand at premium prices. Its not a "who dares" no one is supposing we legislate against it. Some of us are just sitting here rolling our eyes going "Oh my god, what hath the humans wrought".
Nah, I'm quite personally biased from buying games for 20+ years now. I think I should have learned a few lessons about shelling out hard earned money for software;)
Rockstar has a reputation to uphold. So did many other grand studios and publishers. Like Epic, Origin, 3d Realms, Actavision (DIAKATANA *COUGH*), Atari, Blizzard (Diablo III, *COUGH*), and many many others... I mean I could sit here for an hour making a list of reasons not to ever buy a game on release date.
Dead, mostly IMO because the studios aren't keeping up with the times. However Unreal did alright for a bit. Half Life Orange box was an amazing shooter all around. There are some good triple AAA shooters, Killzone comes to mind. But they fall well short of the classic and nostalgic titles for me.
I suppose I'm pretty jaded and and older than most of the people who probably found GTA as one of their nostalgic games. I played Saints Row before GTA4. The two games are similar in genre. And while Saints Row came out well after GTA San Andreas. I think Saints Row did a 10x better job of making a game of it.
If you haven't played Saints Row. Check it out, and see what you were missing. Even the latest one seems amusing (though it is nothing like the originals, and published by a different publisher).
I can in no way justify through experience the purchase of GTAV. But thats me. I'm going to stick by it =) I'de rather purchase a Star Trek adventure game XD.

I agree, not a troll!
Because you don't. You make it for your neighbors and sell it to your friends. Rather than raping and pillaging the rest of the world through some corporate illusion that Foxconn is a good company.
Take the humans away from the control boards!
HELLL YEAH!!!!

Exactly, right now were locked into whatever the U.S. Government thinks is great for space exploration. Though India and China have their own plans.
Theres plenty 'resource' 'manpower' etc... to drive manned space flight if a group of us wants it.

This is a simple and nifty idea and it works.
Good now we can find those small ez to mine rocks nearbye. Or use those rocks for other purposes... build your habitat directly in one.

I took an incredible shit last night. It smelled so amazing. The color was such rich brown and the texture was very nutty.
Who cares. I think its dumb to be buying the brand at premium prices. Its not a "who dares" no one is supposing we legislate against it. Some of us are just sitting here rolling our eyes going "Oh my god, what hath the humans wrought".
If you didn't read that in context. Your pretty dumb.
Heh, beggars can't be choosers I suppose ;p
Not to mention were talking about day1 sales. Not even word of mouth sales a week in.
