Except that companies never state such precise numbers, even to themselves. Its always against projected numbers, which brings up if their projections were accurate in the first place.
All of your post is about "generations", not a thing about the people of Galactica.
The people of Galactica would help some of the inhabitants, but for the most part the inhabitants are going to be only slightly better off in 40 years, while the Galactica people are now dead.
For the rest of their lives, the crew would have to revert to the simpler life of the general population. Yes, the general population would benefit, but the focus is about the living status of the Galactica people.
Doesn't this promote the idea that there are unlawful acts that you can get away with, if you are skillful or lucky? I'm talking about speeding and general traffic laws, so its a little different case.
But if you break the law enough times, it can bring someone to think that they can break more laws and not get caught.
"...very successful and well received demo versions (or beta stages) and very poor, lower than anticipated game sales..."
Someone else noted why people wouldn't purchase a game after seeing the demo. Good points there.
Demos also help generate interest in a game. If you don't want to have demos anymore, prepare for the possibility that there will be even less sales because people don't want to spend money on an unknown.
Or maybe the "anticipated games sales" was unrealistic in the first place.
You only hear about this because these were the 1% or less of the WoW community.
You never hear about the person who found 320 different ways to kill a bunny on level 1, which took 2 weeks and he's now level 4. Or the person who collected 100 little nonsense items.
Maybe it's your obsession to want to take things slow. Just saying there are all types.
Doom3 was unsatisfying in the conclusion. Using cheats I spent a lot of time in the airless areas because I could then appreciate the graphic engine and views with a distance more than 10 feet.
Yes. Couldn't lift itself off the ground, let along a 180lb pilot.
That said, they also added a lot of structural integrity (mass) before the first flight, that they possibly could have done after first flight to check the limits.
From that link: There's an old saying, "You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." It's pretty much true, unless you wind up using so much silk to patch the sow's ear that eventually the sow's ear is completely replaced with silk.
Read that.....He's talking about making a sow's ear from a silk purse and has his idea backwards. There's a lot of (sometimes technical) statements on that site that show the creator made it without thinking very much about it.
While I'm not a fan of Intel's potential tricks in this case..... What is the line drawn between the poor and not_poor? I am all for giving OLPC leeway when its for people that can't buy an expensive system, that leeway ends when they are cutting into other businesses. Selling cheap laptop for the bottom 2% income is great and all, but is Negroponte's line at 50% income?
A pi recitation was mentioned on "60 Minutes" a couple of weeks ago. The european record holder is Daniel Tammet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet/ who has autism and recited 22000+ digits.
Ditto, but I noticed a lot of lag even before the Kidzone update. I press buttons fast though. While a screen is loading I know what it will say, and press the next button I need. This isn't allowed though, until the screen completely loads. Bummer.
Once a month or so, my Tivo locks up for about half an hour. The LED flash shows its getting the signal, just not doing anything with it. After the half-hour or so, everything returns.

Wear a glove with different rfid chip in each fingertip, and a reader in the laptop. Each finger pointed at a laptop or computer could mean something different. And you don't even have to touch it.

I generally agree, but.....

If bogged down by CPU, get more CPU.
If bogged down by network, get more bandwidth.
If bogged down by disk access, get better disk access.
It will take the people to tell you which one you need....
100 Students gave away their privacy to get a cell phone that probably isn't an open operating system.
All the talk is corporations need to keep their secrets, but the people don't need privacy.

"but when you're a pilot, the problems of high costs, limited mobility on the ground, and weather sensitivity are in your face, all the time."
You won't/can't land these on a road*, so it means you have to land at the airport and make it a car.
Just rent a car.
(* At least I don't want to be looking overhead for someone trying to land a plane in my road lane. Brings road rage to new heights.)

The PubMed 1963 report was published and funded by CANADA. Why use the published report as evidence when it doesn't reference the US?
