That's the sad thing about the Wii, it's in a small slump because developpers laughed at it (now the assholes are paying with blood), and Nintendo can't release smash hits every year.
I think that's the reason why they started VC in the first place. Well, that and they had made a promise a long time ago in a certain magazine of fame...:)
The day the NWP is a reality is the last day of Canada as an independant country.
I'm not ready to give up my home and native land that quick. But how am I to stop US forces, or worse, Russian or even Chinese, should they set their eyes on the NWP?
Nonetheless, Lenovo takes intel/AMD parts and other manufacturer's stuff (or gets somebody else to do that) and sticks them a box, tests them, sells them.
AMD makes those parts. Bought up by chinese means no x86 license.
I'm really hoping IBM buys up AMD just to support it. That means Intel gets another serious run for its money. Will likely leave VIA in the dust, unless they merge/partner with nVidia. But anything is better than watching AMD die.
And then next year we have Fusion/Larabee/etc., or 8 cores on a CPU, or whatever, and we blow them out of the water again.
I don't think Intel has anything in the PRC. Wouldn't that weaken its stance in terms of x86 patents?
And that's another thing, no non-US company can make x86 processors. I think that's the reason AMD decided to tell nVidia to fuck off and bought ATI. That way they could keep their license. As for VIA, wasn't Centauri IDT an american company? And their Cyrix purchases must have gotten them something?
Pretty much, and it's not like Europe has enough willpower/money to buy as much cheap made-in-china shit that the americans do. And really who else is going to pick up the slack? Us? In Canada? lol we're ~30 million people dependant on the US economy like a bird is to air.
The problem with the (non-taiwanese) chinese is that their political system is wrong, their economy is based on lies and briberies, they have no respect for the environment in any way, their people are brainwashed, and that after turning our back on a long-term ally to try and help them they spit in our face, turn their backs against us ("the west") and have been fighting "us" at pretty much every occasion.
Effectively, they are really what capitalism is about.
Let the pig industries move to the Facists Republic.
We and the US still have the real factories, where real work is done. Seriously business that you'd be laughed at for if you tried bringing to the PRC.
My father's of a family of 7. There's about 12 kids altogether including me. Two uncles never married, and the youngest uncle likely won't either. Typical small town. My dad had one uncle on his dad's side, he had two daughters, one who passed away. He also had an aunt but I never heard from her. His mother had two brothers; one only had 2 kids methinks, the other definately had 3. One are grandparent. The others have kids at "that age", ~30. All together that makes only about 10 kids; I don't think I've met all of them. Two of them are quite young, and one is in her early 20s now.
My mother was an only child. Her parents were in families of 4 (but her maternal uncle passed away) and 5 (RIP, his sisters and brother live in Europe). They had big families in the European ones; one of her aunts had 3 kids I think, with another 2-3 each. One has a baby girl already (they got married a few years ago it seems). Her family is massive on her dad's side. It's something like 200 people for just her aunts and uncles children. Not counting their wives/husbands families.
They marry young, too. The youngest couple I think they got married at 24, and she's expecting. There's only one or two who didn't marry before 30, and neither are really likely to marry. (well maybe one)
So I guess it's regional. And I guess it's on how "integrated" you are, you could say. Of course the parents, my mother's cousins, settled in Europe when they were older. But their kids are typical little swedes. Which is wonderful.:)
The trend here has been shrinking. There, it seems not so much.
All those Sims games were great. I still play them.
SimCity2000 and Sims Deluxe Edition + vacation are my personal favourites. I'd play SimAnt if there was a working windows version.
It's too bad they don't lump all the old sims software and sell it as a single package for like 20$. Better than having it rot on somebody's shelf somewhere, while we suffer. Or pull a Rockstar and put it up as downloadable for free.
It's about raw chemical sewage. The reason why it's expensive to produce cheap shit in the US & Canada & EU states, real civilised places. The reason why the US's-two+1/2-times-more-than-the-number-two-guy production is "limited" to expensive stuff.
Per person countries like Trinity & Tobago and the UAE pollute a LOT more. The US is something like #10-#30 per person.
Ever since the rise of Neo-Maoism (Stalin-communism hold the communism) the chinese have been ramping up to be the #1 polluters. I think in 2000-2004 they surpassed the US, or got very close.
Society as a whole is facing a downturn. We're up at that point, where the brilliant minds are retiring, and the kids can't string together two words.
Some will say they said this way back when too. Yeah but the different between those two languages was probably all the differences of UK English & US English. It's miniscule and still understandable compared to "how r u?"
(Glenn Beck is cool. I like his show. It gives insight into "the other side of things".)
In the years after World War 2, regardless of sun spots, it was the coldest recorded era that we know about and mesured.
Yet you're telling me now, when we have a fraction of the CO2 that was out there in the years after WW2, that NOW it's "getting warmer" (even though the trends are moot or dropping)?
No, get out. Global temperatures in the 90s were a joke. 1930s still had the hottest years on record.
The interesting thing about "global warming" is that when we see alarmists jumping on the arctic, they forget about america, about eurasia (minus ME and "real asia") that froze to death a while back. (moscow had it coldest winter just a while back, shattering the previous record by single-digits, which is pretty impressive at that temperature point)
1. Let's forget about Grise Fiord then. A community built in a place where no man should have ever gone and stayed. Let's forget about US icebreakers and russian subs. Let's forget about the weapons tests. Let's forget about the fallen sats.
2. We know plenty. The glass is half-full.
3. Not really.
Nothing is done properly.
South pole has been in rapid expansion mode pretty much forever. The melting of arctic ice could have to do with all the toxic chemicals the chinese and indians love to dump straight into the oceans. I know "rising sea levels" (weren't they dropping in some regions?) are related to it.
Something to mull about: Are the factories in the Beijing area still closed? I wonder if that's what helped make Gustav so calm (a Cat1 storm is a big lol from me and a very big sigh of relief for our friends in the south).
Sure, we don't know much about earth. We don't know much about mars.
But where I come from, they taught us that having bits and pieces of knowledge from all sorts of subjects and regions was just as good as an indepth one for one region/subject.

First off, the US is the greatest polluter in the world
And lastly, they are not.
By far they are not.
Support your points, troll.
It's not about oil though.
It was never about oil.
It's about raw chemical sewage. The reason why it's expensive to produce cheap shit in the US & Canada & EU states, real civilised places. The reason why the US's-two+1/2-times-more-than-the-number-two-guy production is "limited" to expensive stuff.
It isn't.
It pretty much has never been.
Per person countries like Trinity & Tobago and the UAE pollute a LOT more. The US is something like #10-#30 per person.

Amen brother.

It's a TN panel too.
What gives, HP?

CellWriter looks pretty good. But you have to fit it in first. :)
Because every Iraqi loved Saddam Hussein, amirite?
(now, he kept the joint in order but that doesn't mean they liked him)
Along with what bill_mcgonigle said, you chart is useless regardless.
Absolute data is necessary. Warming? Relative to what?
(Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, this should be further on. I was agreeing with the GP but placed the post wrong. Mod offtopic?)
Bullshit bingo oh my!

But where I come from, they taught us that having bits and pieces of knowledge from all sorts of subjects and regions was just as good as an indepth one for one region/subject.
There is no absolute data on temperatures.
At least, after years of searching, I haven't found any.
I thought about keeping my own list. But it wouldn't be ultraprecise nor cover every day, and only cover my little region.
All the carts are in relation to cold periods. Because god forbid politicians in science lose.
It's seems to be back now, but there does not appear to be a download link, and it's windows-only right now, so not interested. Sorry google.
Oh, really sorry, I mean SDL is slow...
GPL is a stopgap until copyrights can be lifted for artistic works.
I will copyright and patent the english language. Then what will you do, troll?
Hm? I will threaten to sue you. I patented that sentence. It's my "IP".
Pygame is pretty slow. At least under linux, because it uses OpenGL.
Pyglet (runs with openGL), Rabbyt (C-based spriting lib for pyglet, so it's much faster), and Squirtle (if you want SVG), makes a nicer platform.
