It's not that consoles will turn into PCs, it's that low end PCs will be cheap and powerful enough to compete with the consoles. You could buy a $300 console system and a $500 PC or you could just buy the $500 PC (or use the savings and buy an $800 PC). The problem with consoles is that they are not a necessity for people whereas computers are entirely necessary unless you like to live the life of a hermit.
So if the genes are almost the same then wouldn't eating it make one a cannibal? I eat human flesh normally so I have no problem with this but I know most are opposed to it on moral grounds.
A spammer should only gets one chance on anyone. When I get spam the IP gets added to my blocked list and they're gone forever. When I check my mail the filters and IP blocking discards most of the messages and I'm only left with actual e-mail. Anyone can do this so I don't know why everyone is always complaining about it...
How is giving a measurement in broad terms more useful than giving the exact measurement? I suppose gravity should just be measured in 9.8 mm/blink where blink can equal a variable amount of time...
The article failed to answer the most important question: How does this improve MY life?
What the hell good is a reactionless drive to me when my dog is dead, my girlfriend has sex with five different guys a day while making me watch and I can't even solve basic addition problems?
In Phoenix, the former 602 area code was split into 3 area codes: 602, 623, 480. You do not need to dial the area code if the phone number you are calling from is in the same area code as the number you are calling, otherwise you have to use 10 digits.
It is somewhat annoying but there's simply not enough numbers to go around so you can complain all you want, it's not going to change a thing...
Why exactly was that moderated as flamebait? I read the book and it was good; I'm sure many people would agree. I'm not saying L. Ron Hubbard isn't an evil mastermind but I am saying that he is not a failed science fiction writer considering how many millions of books he has sold.
Your problem is that you are voting AGAINST a candidate. People vote Bush because they hate Gore; people vote Gore because they hate Bush. I voted Browne because he is the closest to my beliefs not because I'm against a certain candidate. If people would simply vote their conscience we would not be in the situation where both candidates are generally disliked and you hear the term "lesser of two evils" constantly.
In my opinion a vote for Bush or Gore is just throwing your vote away since a vote for either is simply voting for government as usual. What's the point?
The Constitution requires the House to choose from the candidates who were in the top 3 electoral vote total. The other person running at the time, Henry Clay of Kentucky, essentially controlled the House at this time but he placed 4th in the electoral college so he was not able to be nominated.
"Coincidentally" Henry Clay was appointed JQ Adams Secretary of State after the House suprisingly voted for JQ Adams over Jackson. Also of interest was that at this time the Secretary of State was commonly considered the next in line for the Presidency not the Vice President as it is now.
I don't know why people even bother to put NOSPAM in their e-mail address. Whenever spam comes my way it's either filtered automatically or it takes me one second to add it to my ignore list and I never get an e-mail from that address again...
Was it just me or was Diablo II incredibly boring and repetitive after a few hours? I couldn't bear to actually finish it because it kept lulling me off to sleep...
And how exactly did they spend all those years from when the original released? It was nearly the same game!

Anyone else agree with me that the "Al Gore invented the Intenet" jokes lost their amusement factor at least a year ago?
Yes, I can. When will you idiots stop asking me?

That's exactly what I do. Occaisonally I've hung up on people I actually want to talk to but they always call right back so it's no big deal...

The Revolution will not be coming soon to a theater near you!

Yeah, I missed the blink squared but I intentionally used mm since obviously it wouldn't be 9.8 m per blink. :P
How is giving a measurement in broad terms more useful than giving the exact measurement? I suppose gravity should just be measured in 9.8 mm/blink where blink can equal a variable amount of time...
It expects to sell 400 million-transistor processors able to do 400 million calculations in the time it takes to blink.
Thanks for telling us the calculcations per blink, that's a real useful measurement system.
Yeah, but billboards don't waste your time. I know I don't slow down or stop to read them...
Interesting point. I know I've never had a light bulb burn out on me while it was operating, it always happens when I try to turn it on...

The constitution states that you have to be a natural born citizen to be President.
If you enjoy games that come out months or years or never after the PC version then Mac is the gaming platform of choice.
Well, it's harder to use for one thing, don't hackers like a challenge?
Probably the non-profit Rand Corporation...

I wouldn't call him a "failed" science fiction writer considering that Battlefield Earth sold millions and was really quite good.

This is, of course, also assuming that nuclear weapons will even _work_ in space.
Last time I checked the laws of physics still apply in space so why wouldn't they work? Nuclear reaction does not require air or gravity...
