on the playstation, I found the Syphon Filter series to work quite well as a scripted plot (3rd person rather than 1st person shooter, I know!). OK, so there's not a lot of character development and it's more Die Hard 3 in terms of action, but then we are talking about shooter games where you don't expect a lot of relationship stuff to creep in - you just want to destroy things!:-)
I wonder if the higher citation rate of US articles is due to the fact they are written in English and therefore more accessible to a higher percentage of the scientific community? Presumably a lot of a country's scientific publications will be in the language of that country and it would be reasonable to assume that an article published solely in, of example, Russian or German, would be less widely cited outside the Russian or German speaking communities...

After all, there's nothing worse than making your way through a dark space station to the docked shuttle when you're desperate for a wazz and then opening the wrong airlock and finding yourself drifting off through space in nothing but your rocketship jammies!
Like a customer that comes back to PetsMart with dead fish after dead fish, I have trouble believing after 8 dead fish that ALL of the problem is PetsMart selling defective fish.?
I suspect the 3rd or 4th time you went back to PetSmart with the dead fish, they would suspect you were killing the fish yourself and refuse to replace it.
Yet Microsoft seem quite willing to replace his console time after time after time as well as doing the same for a substantial number of other people. The costs of this can't be insignificant so it would seem that they are willing to accept the blame for these problems rather than blaming their customers. Why would that be, I wonder?
In a Viking long boat on a huge funeral pyre surrounded by gold and silver and the heads of a few enemies... that was the in-thing for those on their way out....;-)
...to discourage people from traveling to the US and so reducing all that nasty, harmful air travel. Who knows, another few masterstrokes like this and the US might become carbon neutral in our lifetimes!
yeah, but that was before modern miniaturization of devices.
It's alright for a large tape machine to slowly self destruct in a phone booth, but don't nobody want their Palm Pilot exploding just after putting in their pants' pocket!
I think you're arguing form my side now! Love isn't a mythical, magical thing like fairies -it's a fact like all emotions. You can't pour it from a cup but you can see it's effects and experience it. It's part of who we are and yes, you can explain love by logic and science - that doesn't mean that its effects aren't wonderful. Yes, it can make us irrational but that doesn't mean the existence of love is irrational. Scientists aren't cold, logical, dispassionate thinking machines. Knowing how something works doesn't destroy the "magic" -in many cases it can make it even more amazing.
As for your second point about witnessing things that can't be explained by science - that doesn't make them magical. They just haven't been explained yet. Doesn't make them magical in the sense of fairies and goblins. They are part of a real, physical universe and, if they are real phenomena, they will have an explanation that is real. You don't need to think irrationally to "get it". Thinking irrationally doesn't mean that your mind is more open or receptive to new ideas. In fact, I would say the opposite,. You've already decided what you want you want to believe and closed your mind to other possibilities. I hate to ascribe to mystical forces and magical beings something that could be explained by the powers of our own minds to heal ourselves - I think that's even more amazing.
But it's your life. Whatever gets you through it happy is what counts for you !
Would you rather live in a magical world full of fairies or dry reality?
Dry reality? You obviously don't live in the same world as me because there are more incredible and amazing things in this universe than I could ever fully explore in a single lifetime. I don't need to add imaginary fairies and hobgoblins to the mix. Just read a book about cosmology, or quantum physics or the human mind or zoology or... you don't need to start inventing fairies and easter bunnies to live in a magical world -we're already in one!
...given the lack of respect that the current US administration shows for privacy laws, I'm surprised that anybody in the US or Canada thinks that their data exchanges are safe from prying eyes...!
Still think they should leave the movie making to the pro's...
And a great beam of light shone upon the low lying clouds and within it's beam was a dark symbol, a black silhouette of a steaming pile of dog crap... for this was the twat symbol calling forth for... Uew Boll !!

Surely the Slashdot crowd has some ideas of their own as to what "people-ready business" might mean?
Business ready to fleece the people?
If we're talking Vista, maybe it means business with some people-sized holes where the customers should havebeen inserted?
Was there ever a "trendy" form of cremation?
