Hate to burst your bubble, but the NYC scenes in Spiderman were all inaccurate, most of the famous buildings are all wrong (inside and out) and this usually happens in all movies filmed in NYC. They use a couple of skyline shots and maybe a few scenes in the street, but most inside building shots are all done in a studio with backdrops.
I'm almost sure that the church in the game is probably wrong if someone who knows the church well enough looked at it. It's not like they used blue prints to make an exact replica in game.
I agree, it looked better before he put his head in there. Plus Harrison's head was less then half way out the plane and his head is more than half making his head look HUGE! Ruined a prop relic of great value.
You are forgetting the limitations on electric distribution. You cannot transfer power over great distances without losses. Basically it's impossible to transfer power reliably and efficiently from the Midwest to the Northeast. See the Losses section of electrical power transmission. There are also other considerations that are listed on that page which are often overlooked by the masses concerning power distribution.
Okay so I think it should be made clear in the summary, that the article states, you can only lose the password of the same domain. So if the malicious page is on MySpace, then it would only steal your MySpace password. Yes it's still a password, but most people probably don't use thier MySpace password as their credit card password, but even then they would need to phish which credit card you have and what your username is there. Not a big deal in my opinion but I'm glad that it was brought to light that this can happen.
Not all the games require the nunchuck. In fact things like Mario Party 8 (4 player) the nunchuck is only need for special 1 player games (like story mode). I have 4 WiiMotes and 1 nunchuck, not once have I had to use the nunchuck for multiplayer games. Perhaps RedSteel is the exception, but that game sucked (I own it and regret it).
The DS doesn't play GameBoy games, they play GBA, but yes eventually they should just dump the format for better ones. Nintendo did and I'm happier for it. Why can't Sony release a PSP 2.0 or whatever and have a new slot for a new format that is better? It's not impossible. UMD really isn't here to stay, everyone knows that.
Yes but why keep a format when other formats become more viable solutions the faults of the original format? UMDs suck because of wasted battery resources on spinning the disc, time wasted on loading, and whatever other faults it has.
Your last point is so true. When I used to frequent the libraries in my younger age, I would ask how to find certain things, they taught me the card system and the library layout. While there I actually helped other students find what they needed by re-teaching the things I learned. The only thing librarians need to do, is supply you with a direction and some instructions, the map is yours to explore from there. Their only real job is to make sure that things (books) are in the right place (on the map).
You have put into words better than I ever could what I've been telling people. Often at times I hear from people, "I can't quit." When they speak of a drug (nicotine, alcohol, etc.) I can see the ease of addiction, but not the chemical effects. When it comes to sensory (games/sex/etc) "addiction" it's not a real addiction like the drugs, it's just what is making them feel good because of the actions happening. They can quit the games, but they have a weak character or lack will power to do it. I've been through both in milder incidents, alcohol/drugs, and games. I weaned off the first, and changed my hobbies for the second. The first took months, the latter took a week.
True! On a lesser level I played Eternal Darkness in the dark, alone in a really quiet apt. After a few hours I had trouble sleeping, and that was all monsters that I was fighting in the game. Seriously any kid that plays a horror game in the dark could be scarred mentally, so why go easy on some games? Because of monsters? That's crap.

How Image Spam Works

· Score: 1
Why not fight spam with SPAM? Use a spam filter to identify spam email, then have a program that takes that spam and replies (with some other spam email), or clicks the web address, or both! Then we can flood the spammers with spam and DDOS attacks. How profitable can it be to get more spam and useless use of bandwidth if 50% of their messages get worthless responses? Now it would be more work to find the "sucker" of the spam for the spammer.
Remember laser tag? You wear a "vest" and carry a gun to shoot at your friends. I forget where I was going with this, but something about reality and fun.
Agreed, weaning is the way to go. But just like working out, in the beginning it the hardest to keep up the effort over time to the tipping point when you start seeing results. Hybrid vehicles are great, but there still needs to be more R&D put into it. The gov't should make all these car makers pool their research together until further notice or until a goal is reached, then they can split up and spawn off their own research and changes.
Most people will think it's Microsoft's fault that it doesn't work. Creative can make the most expensive card only work on Vista, so when you upgrade you have to buy that one, or else no fancy sound. Vista is a screwfest. Microsoft screws you when you upgrade with price/configuration/etc. Other companies screw you since they have to spend more to work in Vista, passing that cost on to you, the consumer. Everyone gets screwed except Microsoft. Guess what? If I can't use XP anymore, I guess I'll move back to a unix OS. I hear good things since I last had Linux on my machine. If my job requires me to have Vista at home, then they can buy it for me, cause I'm not doing it.
I concur. My inbox is my todo list, everything else gets filtered to folders. I move them OUT of the folder if it's something I need to do. Now only if my company will move off MS Exchange. Stupid thing has a hard limit like 32 KB of rules you can save and have active. How crappy is that?
No defects. I have a launch day Wii and a launch day GC, both work, only the GC hangs up once in a blue moon after 6 years of constant play.
Wii Sports is a game. You may think it's too easy at first, but keep going and get to Pro level in the sports (about 2 hours of one sport if you learn quick). The computer gets much much more difficult.
Well I'm hoping for a Xbox360 price drop. I'm waiting for it. If Nintendo doesn't get online gaming going before the 360 drops in price, then I'm getting a 360 to sit next to my Wii for online games. I've only heard lots of good things from friends about Live. Wii is fun with company, but solo it's kinda dull after finishing Zelda. So the Wii will be my party console, and 360 my online console. I'd like to see wireless net and bigger HD space in the 360 also with that price drop.
So I'm in the market for a 360, but until they drop that price... they don't have me yet.
Actually sodium isn't the only thing you need, magnesium is another mineral you need if you are hydrating a lot. The wikipedia entry is pretty spot on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication
2 liters/hour could kill you if you have low sodium. 3 liters/hour could kill the average person.
What the radio station should have done is have the contestants drink Gatorade, not water. Less of a chance of water intoxication, but the possibility is still there. I'm pretty sure they didn't consult a doctor about the dangers of their contest.
agreed. I had one company, and I was getting random SMS spam, I called up my company and explained that I don't want to receive spam text messages and have to pay for them. They agreed, and the text messages stopped, I was on a pay-per-message plan. That was years ago. If I see an advertisement on my phone of any kind. I will drop that carrier and join the competitors service.
My guess is verizon has been watching too many of those AMP'd and Helio commercials. I don't want that. I want a phone, and sometimes a way to text. If I wanted more, I'd have bought it.

Exactly nerds can't get along, look at the posts already. Look at the movie 'Sunshine' nerds just argue and argue.
Guess Outlook has the same bug if you make an HTML email with that type of malicious link no?

Some stores have a restocking fee, I think it's ranges from 10-15% the price. So probably more stores will be doing that.
Kinda off-topic: So is nexgenwars.com factoring in returned items? Oh that's right we don't know where those numbers come from.
