1) Sony brags about a 10yr lifespan.
2) The PS3 has been out for 2yr
3) According to Samsung Blu-ray will be "superseded" in 5yr
4) So, the PS3 will be "superseded" 7rs into life
5) But just because a better tech comes out doesn't mean they'll stop selling PS3s. PS2 has been selling strong for the last 2 years with no signs of letting up.
6) I bought a PS3 for a Linux CELL dev box. So I don't care either way:)
They're useful in keeping the people happy that they have a new boss every so many years (Like in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome), but they're practicality is questionable, imho.
1. Solar power satellites? You mean satellites with large solar panels that would beam power back on Earth? Why?? Do you have any idea how little in panel area you can send in orbit, how inefficient it would be to beam power to Earth and how astronomically cost inefficient it would be compared to putting solar panels on every rooftop in California or even covering a part of Nevada with those?
I've always thought it funny that on the one hand we constantly hear complaints of green-house gases that trap heat, but on the other hand people like the idea of beaming energy (heat) from outer space to the surface of the earth, likewise, solar panels are catching heat that should be re-radiated away from the planet. I like solar panels, but just find it a funny duality.
Space is not something government should be concerned with.
I'm sure Queen Isabella of Spain should have never funded Columbus, since private industry would have eventually gotten there. There problem is: which country's private industry? Besides space exploration has many befits to nations. Plus some really cool toys come from it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Spinoff
Although how can we expect our representatives to become experts in committees if they get refreshed every term? Some issues (national security) cannot be discussed publicly.
From what I've read, after the Dacian Wars Romania was settled heavily by retired Roman legionaries. I would have expected there to be a stronger correlation between IT1/IT2 and RO.
3. Most of us don't seem to be for most welfare in it's current state, view SS and medicade as a fiscal disaster in need of much revamping, etc. Conservative/Libertarian.
If one thinks SS and medicade _only_ need "revamping" he or she is not Conservative and definitely not Libertarian.
They have a two-week trial. I tried out but I don't know anyone else that plays it. IMHO, it's really a social game. I like the concept but playing by myself was too much mining (aka grinding) to make a profit. I'll probably try it out again later.

Maybe that's why you don't have a million bucks.
Does that mean the PS3 isn't future proof?

It's good the summary translated that...they're so different, I would have had no clue what her name was otherwise
Yeah, but they really, really help in the "drown" phase.
the idea of grinding killed mmo's for me. please someone show me an mmo based on skill, rather than who has the most free time!

As long as they don't mess up my queue! It's taken me months to get hundreds of movies in that queue in the order I want.

Everyone becomes conservative with upgrades after the first time that a box 3000 miles away fails to come back up.
Ever try IP-enabled KVM switches? It's definitely not a silver bullet but can help with the stress.

I frequently had driver issues with VIA's chipsets. (I've heard they've improved.)
but why?
