I do agree with the shock from two-face turning his head for the first time. I was expecting just burned completely on that side. However, I couldn't help but think "Terminator" when i saw two-face.
Games don't need to be free, but if I'm going to pay $50-60 on a game, I need to know I will be getting my money's worth. Music and DVDs are the same way. If companies would cut the prices for these things to make them an impulse buy, everyone would be happy. I'm talking $5-7 Albums, $10 DVD, $15 Blu-ray (they were supposed to be THE SAME PRICE as DVDs when they were released anyways... way to lie Sony) and $10-20 on games. Buying a year-old product should be cheaper than the brand new one too. I've seen The Blues Brothers priced $20 on DVD. That's completely rediculous. People would buy more if they feel like they're getting it at a bargain price, and companies would reap the benefits of all those extra sales of those who wouldn't buy the product to begin with.
I don't see why a computer can't randomly keep a few hands here when statistically it should fold.
That way, whoever the computer is playing has no clue when it is a bluff and when it is not. The computer would have no tell. It's brilliant!
I don't care how well such a program is coded... it will absolutely buckle under the pressure of a professional who constantly bets half his stack on nothing. The machine would turn into a professional folding station that only plays AA, KK, or AK.
I love how this gets modded 5 for quoting wikipedia. It saves everyone from typing "myeloma" and a click of the mouse. Doesn't even have something of their own to say. Of course, being wikipedia I guess (s)he could have written the article.
Sounds more like a density problem to me. If Hydrogen is on average above the escape velocity of the earth, shouldn't we be seeing a deterioration of our atmosphere, or at least the amount of Hydrogen decreasing at some rate?
Mod parent up (I have no points to share). I know nothing about this subject, but if I could guess, I would think that antimatter would exert an antigravity force which would attract antimatter but repel matter the same way that gravity attracts matter. That leaves the question "is there such a thing as antigravity?"
Yeah, last time I was in Washington, I saw a few. One of them is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and the other one is on the opposite end of the Mall. I never realized the Jefferson Memorial is a ghetto.
charges have never been put on me. With regards to the car incident, putting the car on blocks along with the decorating made for a nice piece of art. 5-0 were impressed, but aparently removing the wheels is a federal offense. Everything was cool after my friends and I cleaned it all up.
The "pranks" in the article sound like flaming and name calling, which don't seem like much of a prank to me. I would consider defacing websites more of a prank. Of course, all the pranks i remember doing always leaned on the wrong side of the law... moving an office to the hallway... decorating and relocating a car... you know, creative pranks that require time, effort, and a little adrenaline.
Even if it's detectable, which they are, it's always a pain in the ass when you're trying to find a jet with the same radar signature of large bird. Using the graphics card analogy, having an old stealth plane only means you can run crysis on Medium settings - still better than all the other shit out there.
Tell me when i can surf through 200 channels in under 30 seconds. this is becoming a problem with the new TVs with digital tuners. It will take 2 seconds to change from channel 3 to 4. Another not as big problem if Internet TV doesn't have commercials, but swapping between "channels"
Shouldn't we have the same odds looking the other way? for all we know, we can be looking at an alien civilization that's looking at us right now. The problem is the planet renders to a single pixel. Good luck SETI.
Are you sure? The Department of Defense uses Google Search Appliances to sort through the millions of "Top Secret" documents acquired over the years. To think that Google doesn't have backdoors is the same as saying that myspace is free of pedophiles.

Because Sony told us Blu-ray movies would be the same price as a DVD.

If people were to believe you, many would argue there should be a giant new crater thanks to Bush.

If this thing is considered "very large" right now, would it be "very, very large" or "extremely large" after this upgrade?

let me help you on that code while (true) { printf ("People are stupid."); }
that's a whole lot of pr0n.
seriously, how are you supposed to use all of that bandwidth if all your "illegal" torrents are capped.
