Perhaps they can roll that fast, and take that many G's, because that's what they have done for thousands (if not millions?) of years. Their bodies have adapted to it, as they do it almost 24/7.
And haven't we already used bernoulli's principle watching birds, and applied that to planes, getting us in the air in the first place. Has it really taken us this long to realize that we can learn how to fly better from watching the things that fly naturally every day?
Does this mean they are going to come out with bigger coins? I mean, if you ever held a penny, the government has your fingerprints, thats why they keep them in circulation... End communication
Perhaps blizzard learned with their N64 port that RTS ports generally don't work on consoles/handhelds. Especially when the game is already so cheap, has great online play/community, and is playable on almost any computer today.

There's a difference, if someone had forced their way into his machine at his house, that's definitely illegal. But he knew he was bringing his machine, to a public place, where people other than himself were going to see it.
Well, aside from the fact that he should be prosecuted no matter how they found it, it's his own fault for keeping any kind of files on there after the big stories about bestbuy geeksquad techs copying files from machines getting repaired.
Now if the files were something personal like tax documents, or his credit card numbers, he might have a case I could sympathize with. But for something illegal like that, isn't it illegal to not report it?
Like said above, does that mean if I throw paint filled balloons onto a freeway and nobody gets hurt, I should be let off the hook? I COULD have caused a problem, but didn't. Same thing if you drink and drive, if you get home safely this time, you COULD have caused a problem, but didn't. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be punished.
Sorry, forgot to add something (and format text properly come to think of it), for those who don't know, he is producing the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie, due out in 2009.
With the writers on strike (and him being heavily involved with affected shows like CSI, and movies written by the same writers) it's not like he really has anything to produce/direct anymore anyways.
Gotta pay for the ladies somehow:P
There are quite a few writers on the strike considering switching to games though, this could mean more games with scripted laughs (hopefully not), or more games with great storylines. Knowing Jerry Bruckheimers (generally) quality work, I am hoping he proves to continue to provide us with the latter.
Some of the stores that focus on gaming (EB Games) may not want that kind of reputation. But those that don't focus souly on games don't really care. Bestbuy (Have friends there), Blockbuster (where I got mine when I worked there), Toys-R-Us (another friend got his there then quit), and others.
I don't quite agree with the selling online for an inflated price part, but getting paid low wages for a job like that, you can't blame employees for getting a perk like buying one for themselves before they are open to the public.
Wouldn't want to be the trucker driving that box around... that's for sure. And if Google didn't go through with it, why would anyone else?:P
But why does Intel really need multiple datacentres anyways? I mean, they have to host their website and drivers and such, but what else really...
I think that they COULD find out what they do by following them around. But the years of training of these pirates has turned them into a ninja/pirate combination, taking the best from both worlds, ending the age-old argument, and allowing them to stay concealed.
Nintendo has had the habit of short console-lives if you start with the NES (Yes, consoles do predate it, but this is a simplified view.) It was released in 1983, overtaken by the Super Nintendo in 1990 (Lasting 7 years). Next was the N64 in 1996 (making the Super Nintendo last 6 years), next was the Gamecube in 2001 (N64 life span: 5 years). And finally the Wii in 2006 (Gcube life: 5 years).
However if you look at Sony, the original playstation was released in 1994, not overtaken by the PS2 untill 2000 (6 year life). And then by the PS3 in 2007 (7 year life).
Arguably, Sony has/had the majority market with the Playstation 2, I believe part of its popularity was the fact that it became so cheap, with no changes, that anybody could have one, and play games together. Something PC gaming lacks if you do not keep your pc up to date.
And you must also take into consideration, games can only get as realistic as real life. It's one thing to go from Super Mario Brothers on the NES to Crysis, but Crysis to real life won't be that big of a jump. And when graphics/physics/AI get as good as real life, there is no major drive for a new console for "next-gen" games, they won't be able to get any better (gameplay aside for this arguement). It is also taking us longer to increase realism, thus the life of consoles will be extended (if you can understand my ramblings).
Was it this extra layer of protection that was causing some players to have some ungodly load times that was mentioned on/. a little while ago?
And if the companies spent half as much money on increasing space/fixing problems as they did useless protection schemes, we'd be on Terabyte sized dvd's by now:P
You mean Bioware is actually making a sequel to one of it's games without porting it to a substantially worse company?
I actually wonder if new Bioware owner EA will affect this at all though...
I was scared I might have run into one in a dark alley one night, thank goodness they have been found.
On a more serious note, the article mentions that "the galaxies are 9-11 billion years old, and that they *did* exist when the universe was in it's adolescence." Does this mean they are no longer there? And if not, what would have become of the black holes?

You may think my hamburger earmuffs were thought up in a flash. But it took a long time to get the pickle matrix just right.

Does this mean I can't recieve new ways to "enlarge my pen15 and please my significant other while keeping my bank info for safeness"?
Wasn't this one of the issues raised regarding the Manhunt 2 re-rating?

They say it was during an exercise, how did they know that wasn't part of it? :P

Are they sure it's not the wreckage from one of the broken Canadian subs sold to us by England? (Yes I'm Canadian so it's ok
Finally: Did they manage to get an intact Enigma machine, and sail the crippled vessel back home?
I believe this has been proven already.

This really only works for Canadians, but you can purchase it online for the American price (~$45?) instead of buying it in store for ~$70
Another reason for someone to steal my phone? :S
Lose alot more than phone numbers and a few long distance calls though...
