His main evidence is the increase in the number of characters to be found in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy compared to the original "Star Wars" trilogy
Which actually proves nothing since LoTR was written well before Star Wars was even a concept.
FF7, FF8, and FF9 were ALL 2D backgrounds with 3D elements on top of them. Sure, the character models were a big clunkier in FF7, but since they all were 2D/3D instead of full-3D, it most likely wasn't due to initial programming difficulty as much as just plain not enough power period.
At least myspace and livejournal aren't down, I'd hate to see the damage the roving bands of displaced angstbombs and emo kids could inflict upon the internet.
"Arabisation is going to boom in these next few years," she told the Wall Street Journal. "We're such an impressionable people and we aspire so much to be like the West, that we take on anything that we believe is a symbol or a manifestation of Western culture."
Oh bother. Why can't you just keep your own cultural identity instead of trying to be the same as us? Homogenizing the world just makes it a more boring place.
And if this is true, then what about your movies, Mr. Terminator? Completely innocent? Sure, they can't see them in the theaters, but kids can buy or rent them whenever they like.
In France, DSL service that is 10 times faster than the typical United States connection; 100 TV channels and unlimited telephone service cost only $38 per month. In South Korea, super-fast connections are common for less than $30 per month. Places as diverse as Finland, Canada and Hong Kong all have much faster Internet connections at a lower cost than what is available here.
Yes, and in China you can buy a house for a couple thousand dollars. That doesn't mean that houses here are overpriced.
What'll be really nice is when prices get down to be viable for use in consumer-grade products. Say goodbye to broken windows from baseballs, cracked screens on dropped iPods, chipped windshields from rocks, and all sorts of other fun uses.
It should open up some cool architectural possibilities as well.
Probably horrible. Not only are you converting the signal from digital to analog to digital to analog again, but you're taking content meant to be on a screen a few inches big and putting it on a screen ten times the size.

And "SQL Server 2005"? Shouldn't that be 2006? What do I want with last year's model?

It's funformative!
The Red Planet will be 43.1 millions miles from Earth at 11:25pm.
According to TFA, this is about 100 million miles closer than usual. They say it won't be this close again until around 2018.
Given advances in technology by that point, it should make a great time to put men on Mars.
Seriously, it's going to be used for nuclear weapons simulations and whatnot. I'd much rather see it going towards protein folding than that.

When hydrogen is burned, water is a byproduct.
It doesn't have to be electricity...
Obligatory rabid anti-american comment about how the US is the root of all evil.

They'd be able to destroy tanks!

No, I say just the opposite. It just seems hypocritical for Arnold to back something against violence in entertainment.

It's not just China, when I was in Poland a couple years ago, they had a "Polish Idol" show on TV.
So the moral of the story is "don't fuck with Sony"?
Silence! Apple can do no wrong!
Sheesh, next thing ya know he'll be badmouthing Google.

Thought it should be noted near the top that the article now redirects to Goatse.
Because now if they plant the new ones instead of the old ones, they'll still have the 30% more biomass, but 39% more air-cleaning capability?
Unless this is just an "OMG ALL GENETIC ENGINEERING IS EVIL" post, in which case you just get an eyeroll.
