I don't know about you, but I want my fucking moonbase. Ever since I was little, I've been assaulted with ideas of manned bases on the moon. Which is totally fucking badass. Now where are they?
While I agree that they're doing nothing, your argument about prices is flawed. Most of those who bought a Wii are those who will only buy one system, so recent price drops won't affect them, as they already have their one system.
Actually, this is accrued from sales data provided by those companies themselves. If it really is so biased, why is it actually showing the PS3 on the graphs picking up while the 360 is falling?
It looks like the 360 is pretty far ahead in the U.S. market and about 2 million ahead in the other markets, and then around 2 million behind in Japan. Of course, the Wii is dominating everything.
Wow, I didn't know you could troll so obviously. I mean, the PS3 may be winning in some markets, but neither is really a clear victor. I wouldn't proclaim others to be mentally inferior when both opinions are correct.
I'm by no means a fanboy on either side, but just looking at sales and production costs, Sony must have fucked up somewhere. Where, I do not know. Personally, I'm a PC gamer.
While it may seem this way for someone who has never really viewed it, TNG had a lot of morally ambiguous things in it with elements of the Federation being corrupt and Captain Picard not knowing what to do in situations. It was not just an opportunity to show off just how much more enlightened the Federation was.
The problem is that everything about this episode was so ridiculous that no one could take the meaning behind it seriously. I mean, hell, just look at a picture of Tuvix and you'll see what I mean.
One other one that I remember is when they first introduced Zarek and also had the elections between Baltar and Roslyn. Is it okay to go against the public opinion in a democratic society if it's "for their own good?"
Alright, this is complete bullshit. While America may have violated the Geneva convention, and I don't agree with those violations at all, we are not war criminals because we "drop nukes on cities." That's just ridiculous. We've used two atomic bombs on an enemy that wouldn't have stopped fighting; they would have inflicted more civilian deaths with their fighting than the bombs did. Also, we weren't sure exactly how much damage and destruction those bombs would cause. We didn't know how the radiation sickness would pan out. Plus, it wasn't a war crime at the time to drop a bomb that no one needed to exist.
Really, that comment was just unnecessary and a flamebait. If you had alluded to the recent POW scandals, I would have agreed with you wholeheartedly. But the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That's just ridiculous.
Fuck, we are anonymous and tripfag don't apply to a site when posting with a name is preferred. Why the hell would you bring shit like/b/ into Slashdot?
I read an interview that he said it was more than two lines, but they were all out of context. Though I did read about the delivery of the lightning line. I think it would have been better the way Whedon wrote it.
http://imdb.com/name/nm0923736/otherworks Though that says he wrote an unused draft, many of his lines appeared in the film, e.g. "Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning?"
As they say, the more you know. Though, my point still holds strong for Alien Resurrection. I, for one, absolutely hated the X-Men movie, which he wrote. However, I was reading an interview with him saying that it was basically the same thing, they dumped most of his writing and decided to use shit instead.
What do you mean Firefly made no sense? They canceled it midseason, the reason that it was confusing was because the plot wasn't fully developed and there were supposed to be mysteries. Think before you talk, or at least post up an argument justifying yourself.
First of all, he had nothing to do with the original Buffy movie. Secondly, he only wrote Alien Ressurection, and much of that movie's failure was that he was a cowriter and much of his work got ditched, as well as the acting.
> "What is interesting is the application (implementation, and that anyone could write apps for it (as opposed to iPhone, for example)."
You may not have noticed, but iPhone has a full Web apps capable Web browser in it with Wi-Fi "n". It can run Flickr and eBay and Google everything as well as every other major site on the Internet.
In addition to that, you will be able to install software through iTunes same as iPod video. Get with the fucking program if you are going to spout propaganda. Fucking keep up. Read a bit.
How about you read what he is actually saying? He is trying to say that the iPhone will not be open to programs written by anyone except Apple or, it seems, Google. The TouchTable will allow for open programs, which you don't have to buy through proprietary software like iTunes.
I believe the comment about the small screen is to say that multitouch is useless on such a small screen, and it is. A normal touch screen would do just fine on a small screen, because using two fingers isn't practical on a small screen.
I did not mean that NK would initiate the attack, thought it came out as if I meant that. I meant that, with our current leadership, it is either them or Iran next. Even with China gaining all of this tech, they could not afford to equip enough of their soldiers with it to make a difference in conventional war with us. Also, you bring up the Chinese government having problems that are getting worse, a point I would have liked to bring up. It is not really possible right now for China to fight a large or prolonged war, what with their current internal problems.
As for the global warming, I was not sure that withing around forty years water will be a precious resource. Nor do I really believe that statement.
My point still stands, that, for economical and political reasons, China can not afford to wage war with us within the next few decades.
You have now made yourself much more clear, and I find it agreeable. However, China will not be getting into a war with us anytime soon. In addition to my previous comments, they are dependent on us due to their dependence on receiving our technology, China has stated that they would go to nuclear war with us before they had a conventional war with us. Why? Because they know we would be stuck in a stalemate, with both of us losing powers, and it would eventually turn into a world war. I do not view it as a Cold War era, rather, I view it as an era with no threat of war, from China at least. In my opinion, North Korea is a much more threatening enemy in the near future than China.
Okay, I feel the exact opposite of you. You say a war is coming, but that would be impossible for both the US and China, for the exact reasons you have given. Our two economies are tied. We are in debt to them, and there is no way they would go to war with us while we still owe them, because they know that a trillion dollars is not worth taking back Taiwan. They would lose very much in this war as well, and the US, despite being hated, still has many allies. As long as our economies are tied and we are trading, we rely on each other too much to make war. Your post reeks of the propaganda of the Cold War era, but with even less basis of this propaganda.

you're war criminals who drop nukes on cities.

Shit out of luck.
Actually, it is "Grammar." Don't correct someone if you have no idea what you are talking about.
Eragon is more of a ripoff of Star Wars. Think about it.
I actually was just thinking of Machinae Supremacy when I saw his post. Great band. I would mod you up if I had any mod points.
