Yes, wiccans are assumed to be anti-science. Replace "wiccan" with ealier equivalent word "witch" and you see why. Practicing magic is generally considered to be anti-scient.
What is your point? They don't send these things out to a collection agency until you've been past due for a while. Which means she was already late in paying the bill before the computer glitch happened. Which means that if this computer glitch didn't happen, they would STILL be calling her. Just that now, she has an excuse to make them wait a few more days.
So what does this mean for Sim City? Will there be a new option in powerplants? or maybe an upgrade option to tranform my coal fired plants into ultra effriecient/low polluting rigs?
It's pretty good, but solar power will still be impractical. I can see solar powered cell phones and PDAs, but that's mostly due to advaces in making those devices low power and then converging with higher effeciency solar cells. Cars? no; houses? no, you STILL need those stupid batteries, and still won't have a dryer; buses? no; airplanes? no. All the vehicles require dense power like gasoline, deisel, or hydroden fuel cells, something, not the dilute stuff of solar cells.
However, the houses, you might be able to make a case. With the new cells, instead of an ultra high effiency house required, just a high effiency house required. So while you won't find the solar cells at home depot, you just might find all the high effiency appliances there.
That would require a HUGE change in machine. Right now the candiates are just stickers pasted on the surface of the machine. To get the names to rearange you'd need to add an electronic display of sorts. and then add the code to change the names around. Just adding the display might suck up more power than those 6V batteries can provide. and what happens if the display flakes out? And displays have really complex electronics. With that "one small change" youve changed what was a battery powered calculator(in complexity) into PC. Shame on you
"the correlations between violent media and aggression are stronger than between smoking and lung cancer."
Holy crap! We are a hair's breadth away from suggesting we censor media on medical grounds. Media causes reactions in peope? Why that's a big red "DUH!", people.
Just talking and spreading ideas, can incite riots and revolutions. We can't have that now can we? I mean, think of all the people that could get hurt. Best we tell the media what they can and can't say so people don't get all riled up. Especially those nasty, icky video games.
I think like episode 8 of red vs blue, they said one of the charachters was gonna die, made you think it would be the yellow dude, but it turns out it was one of the blue team.
I just liked the ending of that episode. "next time on red vs blue some one (griff) will (griff) die (griff: what?) fade to black...sarge: i sure hope it's griff.
Medical Tourists. It's official, we live in a wierd science fictional dystopian society. "Medical tourists", It sounds like a term akin to "Organ Leggers" from Niven's Known Space. Go back, oh, 20 years and speak the term "Medical Tourist" and people wouldv'e given you blank stares. Not to long from now they will say, "Had my hip done in India, and my plastic surgery in Mexico."
Since we live in a sci-fi world, I can't wait to get fitted for my one piece jumpsuit, and eating my soma infused soylent big brother.
everybody oohs and aahs at the lifters, but nobody seems to notice the 400 pound power supply needed to lift aluminum foil and balsa wood. a bladed fan and an electric motor can also fly, but uses way less power and can carry more.

I guess that makes the new wall in Isreael level 2?

The difference is that VoIP doesn't NEED to be regulated, because it won't be monopolized.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH (gasp gasp) HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA snort chortle snicker BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dude, you are far too generous...
I just solved it!
*ahem*
Let their be light!
Who cares? They're making RINGWORLD, man! RINGWORLD!
Besides, that was on slashdot a few weeks ago. Fsck'ing hippie fantasy fans.
Are you kidding? They're probably still USING that code.
What kind of random blathering is this? It sounds like something a person would say if he were tripping on acid or something.
What, you play GAMES on your Game Cube?
That is sooooo passe...

Alas, they couldn't widthstand the all powerfull Slashdot ray.

When trying to understand Mario logic it helps to eat the mushrooms.
and inefficient to boot.
