I always thought the regular minis were pretty cool looking, but I've never had a chance to sit down in one and see what they feel like on the road. As far as all electrical or even hybrid vehicles all my experiences with them tell me a few things, they don't have the same sort of get up and go power to them that a regular vehicle has in most cases and they are terribly expensive to repair. Good for the 'environment' or not I don't imagine I'll be moving trading my Tundra in for an alternate fuel source vehicle any time soon.
Especially not the Prius, those things are just terrible.
I love the -idea- of Ebook readers, nothing is more awesome than being able -in theory- to carry around all my college text books and all my favorite novels on a thin little device that has a huge battery life. But in general all the systems that I've thought about buying I've turned down for being to locked down, or to expensive. DRM and Price is really a deal breaker, and the idea of rebuying books I already own so I can read them on my ebook reader is a little obnoxious.
I love the Idea just hate the execution thus far, but I'm still hopeful for the tech to catch on.
I Personally view DX11 as I do sonys push from DVD to blueray. Sure blueray has some nice features but I'm still enjoying my DVDs, and I don't really need uncompressed audio tracks for every language on my disks. Same thing with DX11, I've not even properly gotten set with many DX10 games and now they are pushing DX11 (well pushing as in mostly tech demos) and I've not even got much dust on my latest graphics card. I'll upgrade in a few years, perhaps when I see DX9 vanish, or at least become increasingly uncommon.
Automated tool for locating cells? wow that sounds like an invitation for disaster and abuse. So what happens first, someone hacks it, or it's used in a 1984 style manner? (my guess is the latter has already happened/happening.)
I don't recall this so called consumers loosing, when Microsoft tried to compete with Google with their last 2 (or was it 3) search engines. The only way you might loose is if you inflict pain upon yourself by using Bing. I give it a year maybe 2 before Bing is gone.
Let me know when there is a book written by who ever wrote the dialog for the Legacy of Kain series. That series had some of the best monologues and character dialog I've seen in games to date.
"America has no credible deterrent, and our adversaries prove it every day by attacking everywhere,"
Well that's just it you can't build a razor wire wall and laugh as people cut themselves trying to get through it. It seems to me the first mistake to be made is to treat a digital front as if it was a front in an actual war. All you're doing it guarding secrets most often, or sometimes vital services. Best way to protect them is physical separation from civilian networks. I know my friend who does communication translation for the military works on a network where they mirror a hand full of sites (wiki among them) every week and host them in house simply because having the network connected to the internet at large is just to risky.
Nice attempt to give your creationist/Intelligent design beliefs credibility but the world doesn't work that way. It's an interesting twist on argument from authority though.
There's an art to reading graphic novels, and knowing how to read them. To analyze the frames for relative action to the story and so on. I for one have never been as good at understanding comics as I have traditional literature.
Seriously why are people kissing Carmacks ass these days? Did anyone play the new 'Wolfenstein'? The guy can only live on the success of doom and the original Wolfenstein for so long. As far as I'm concerned the guy may be a good programmer but in terms of making games that are fun and are genuinely good he's a has been. I don't care about any of his new games to come out. Rage? Doom 4? seriously a Doom 4. Like we need another Doom.
because everyone is always so clear headed when their vehicle suddenly accelerates for no clear reason,and\or has the time to calm down before they collide with something.
Not really innovative they are just in the first in the hand held gaming industry to want to offer free access to a network. No doubt it will end up being some what similar to Amazons evdo network for their kindle. Think Nintendo kindle for games (at least that's what I get from the article)
Well a 900k fine isn't going to be much. These guys have armies of members that fling money at that them. The best thing of this story is the bad press (though people say there is no such thing) given their army of lawyers I don't imagine this will ever hit main stream media, at least here in the states.
Moon worms make, more sense. Everyone knows that earth worms survived the moons separation from earth. Like any good sci fi the worms mutated, and are now giant moon worms!
Wish I had the mind for the science involving any of the nano industries. It's starting to look more and more like it's going to be my generations plastic.
What about ad's for fake things, if the game gets enough following/sales could be made into a real merchandise item. Like fallout's Nuka Cola, or Nuka Cola Quantum. Those ads were great in game and I wouldn't mind drinking down a Nuka Cola.

How long before I get pulled over for speeding in the trade lanes?

They need a better gimmick if they want me to buy it. No server = no buy!
Just another example of rule 34.
Can't we get rid of the DHS yet? I don't think there's one government organization I like less.
