when I photograph girls that are not so hot I use my beer lens filter. It is basically a disc you screw on to a lens and it is filled with beer between the pieces of glass. Does wonders.
seriously. Something as heavy as a street car needs liek 6000+ hp. Top fuel drag cars have that but weigh like 2000lbs.(which in my book is heavy! but I think they need that much weight to keep the car on the ground) Also normal race tires have too much friction to make it easy to reach 300. Gearing is another issue but thats not difficult to take care of. Aerodynamics are important there too. A car that can hit "300-400" has to have some serious aero worked out to allow it to even hit those speeds AND keep the car on the ground. Also a normal (even beefed up) driveline is gonna have a hard time putting down 6000+ hp to the ground.
The best I've ever heard of was a guy out where I live that was able to hit 200mph on the street. This takes an insane amount of skill to drive 200mph on city surface streets with traffic for 5 minutes and make it alive!
my point was that everyone has different needs. Not all of one kind of game are fun and not all of one kind of game are not fun. Depends on the person. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk or something. I didn't mean to.
whats wrong with games that involve exercise? If you don't want to play them then don't, for those that have wanted such games to come, then the market is being served. Just because you aren't included in the target market for some exercise games doesn't mean all games will become exercise games. That's just silly.
there is a perfect system. But that system is an extremely complicated dance that no one is willing to even model it let alone accept that life isn't black and white and can't be explained in one formula.
250 is all they can afford for these Cyber-Soldiers! The experimental drug based augmentation program costs a fortune on its own, aside from the genetic and cyborg mods.
I can't be the only gamer that feels like game developers of late are flailing around blindly in many regards in terms of what made their games fun.
It's usually not that the ones actually developing the games (programmers, artists, designers, etc.) are ruining games or lacking creativity. From my experience in the industry it is the investors, and business executives that ruin games. They seem to have final say in the games they invest in.
Or if they are license holders they go overboard in making the game fit to the licensed franchise that it is no longer a game after they are through ripping out a game's guts. It's a shitty reality that the people with the money get final say on a game project instead of just leaving it to the developers who are trained and hired to be creative and innovative.
Marketing departments also don't help as they just want to be able to put as many feature bullet points as possible on the back of the box! Anyway, the people with the money are just afraid of any risk to the point that they grab on to the projects too hard sometimes. If you try to hold water in your hands you will lose it all if you squeeze too hard.
Well, for me I see the netbook as a real portable computer. I wouldnt mind more power on the go but price, size and weight are the most important factors. I have no need to do the power hungry tasks I do on my workstation on the go. I just want basic communications, web access, some video playback and light gaming (like bejeweled). I currently use an iPhone for this purpose. It is the most portable device that can do these things. Btw I'm not a Mac guy. I just find that the iPhone/iTouch to be a great product that fills my needs.
also, having a shorter patent term will encourage the patent holder to bring the product to market faster before they lose their patent privileges. This is better for society since innovation will happen at a quicker pace because it has to.
There is another reason besides market share that less exclusive games are released for PS3. Sony has the uncanny ability to develop systems that are increasingly difficult to develop games on. Where as Microsoft has made the dev process on the 360 very easy and developer-centric. The Wii is easy to work on because people have been making gamecube games since the gamecube was released. I hate Balmer but "Developer, Developers, Developers" is key.
I think it is difficult to allow ourselves to call what a computer does as thought just because it doesn't think the way we do. Our hardware (brain, neural net, etc) works in a fundamentally different way that a binary system of processing can't handle really well. Just as we make graphics cards to handle graphics, a processor that is designed to handle human style thinking should be used? Forcing a normal cpu to do human thinking is fitting a square peg in a round hole.
Well if thats the case then this deal sucks for those Norwegian citizens. But I am more interested in the possible effect this move will have on other broadcasting and content creators around the world. Large companies usually don't take risks easily but will follow suit when a working model is made visible through a smaller group or company.

Well Im sure his goes faster than the other ones. His Veyron is an ounce lighter.
if only mod points could win court cases : (
oh thats a good Dune ref. Haven't seen one for a while on /. thanx guy.

yea and after defeating all the robots the nerds will all get lead poisoning.
It's a lot easier to find a new god(s). Replacing that old worn out wife is another story.
Yea and they don't let us just swallow. It has to get all over the place.
I thought we already did away with cables for the high bandwidth tubes filled with dump trucks?
HACK THE PLANET!

Yes, though any bread left out for long enough is quite fungible.
Hey, it's not "pork", it's an "economic stimulus".
yes, made of bacon-weave.

also why would MS wanna run linux on their box!? Sony doesnt make a PC OS that competes against linux.

also, if it is the right size it is easier to get it onto an ipod with this format.
