Besides most of you hating M$, how do most people view the two competitors.. I know TiVo is more expandable with the HD space and all, but is it better than Ultimate TV? Anyone had/used both and can give us an honest opinion?
again erroneous dooferlad. There has been no scientific proof to date to disprove that anything (including information) can travel faster than light. Einstein is rolling in his grave at your assumptions.
This post is erroneous. The manipulation you are referring to has been proven with photons alone, however it was also proved that Einstein was correct and no information was allowed to transfer in this manipulation. The concept of exchanging any sort of information faster than the speed of light is still a myth.
A British friend of mine recounted that although the IRA practiced in acts of terrorism, they would call the police and warn them that a bomb was at a certain location 1 hour before it would blow up. The police then had an hour to evacuate the area and attempt to stop the bomb from going off.. I think the IRA's terrorism is less about blowing people up as it is about inciting terror and making political statements. I don't condone that (or any) type of terrorism, but I think it's less negative if that is possible. Then again, im not Irish, don't know the situation that well, and I don't live over there so thats just what I heard.
Which side of mars is that? are you suggesting the whole exploding 5th planet thing? having craters on half the planet would mean that asteroids chose to strike mars between certain hours every day.. and not during other hours.. I'm not sure why but this doesn't quite make sense to me...
uh.. no many have gravity that couldn't hold down a sneeze. in fact, many asteriods are held together by their structure (like rock or ice) and not by their weak gravity.
I think he meant that the tail isnt really formed until around when it passes Saturn... that the sun's effect isnt hot enough to effect it until around there.
Yes yes, your 3 step program to enlighten us has worked wonders. Amazing. Now, maybe you could explain your 3 steps in more detail like you criticized the last guy for? Or perhaps you aren't that well versed in the case either, you just read a CNN article on it last week eh?
If you stumbled upon Coca-Cola's formula and published copyrighted material like that sure you would go to jail. The same in this case, with the exception being that the law is viewed by many as being unjust. Nobody is really saying it isn't illegal (I would hope in any case) just that the situation should garner more attention for its injustices.
Yes but when you create a crime that is based upon expressing information and society believes it to be a repression of their rights, the media usually picks up on it a bit harder than they are now.
I'm sorry, I own my DNA. I reserve all rights to their use, and hold such right closely, thanks. Any government that recognizes someone else's claim to my DNA must be overthrown.
The arguement to try and save/clean up earth before we move out into space, to get rid of poverty and create equality for everyone first is an old one; an arguement that has been made for many years and still has very little merit IMO.
I think that the endeavour to do something of this nature enlightens us and helps to create technology and increase our understanding of the 'world around us' so to speak. If they cut corners and it crashes, it might be bad for future missions, but if it goes off successfully, then it would be worth it. Besides, I would much rather have that money spent studying a planet in our solar system than creating missle that 20% of the time can shoot down ICBMs, when there are no significant threats of ICBMs. Study pluto, get out there more and develop technologies to help advance our species comprehension, I say.
I think that current science is barking up the wrong tree so to speak. Throughout history, many scientists have explained experimental results with ever changing taxonification of their types in an effort to expidite comprehension of their effects on our universe. It may be Einsteinian of me, but I still like to uphold the presumption that there will be a beautiful and simple explanation which will bring about the unification of our beliefs in science. Only when this happens can the experimental stop running the show, and the theoretical truly open our eyes to the universe's secrets
(wow that sounded almost like a religious rant, my apologies...)
I suppose that when iD had 5 people or so, and Romero helped out deciding the gameplay he wasnt actually a MANAGER of anyone, which is what I said. I'm not questioning some of his judgements in terms of style technique or artistic ideology, I am questioning his ability to run and manage a department in a game developement company. I still stand by my original statement:
...anything so far you seem to have helped to manage has turned into crap, and fallen apart.
you make a very interesting point. The problem for game developers is that most people look at pictures of a game on the box on the shelf, and unless they are amazing 3d graphics, dismiss them right there in the store. Developers need to make money, and therefore need to be visually stunning as well. Your 'garage'-era gamers made visually stunning games back then as well.. (now they wouldn't qualify at the same level) but there are other reasons why you have a nostalgic feeling for them (I will presume), more than their actual artistic style (read pixelated 2D art)...
I digress; The real hope is to find developers that can make visually stunning and technologically advances games that portray reality, but at the same time can instill a sense of nostalgia for the future of gaming. A game that can entice the minds and entertain the masses by its gameplay and originality alone; but still keep up with technology and be realistically stunning (or unrealistically stunning, depending on your genre). This is the holy grail for most developers. Many are satisfied with making money churning out games that aren't inspiration but get them a paycheck regularly, and never aspire for more. The majority I believe (and their producers no doubt) want to create a game that meets everyone's desires.. not only for the money but for the venue of success.
Recently, the Austin team has expressed that they don't agree with the Dallas office as to the style of games being made, and that an imminent seperation was at hand. Austin has made some good titles, while Dallas has basically only made crap; not a major blow for the video game developement community, except now Romero will claim you are his bitch from another venue, just what we need.
Romero, take a hint and go join some video gaming subculture and keep out of the mainstream attention: anything so far you seem to have helped to manage has turned into crap, and fallen apart.

no no silly; they reduce quality if its called 'quake3.exe' to get a faster framerate.. its a hokey stupid ploy and very amateur.

someone not invoking this old and tired phrase!
imagine getting commission on one of these? *whistles*

I think the solar system's planet counter is 1 digit only, so if there was another body discovered between neptune and pluto, we would have 0 planets.

Avoiding innoculations is often very illegal.

conscious and deliberate re-balkanization is the answer IMO.
Jesus was an apocalyptic you know... (and no, this isn't OT; think about it mods, it may be too subtle for ya..)
I live in new york... can't you all talk about tons of people dying out in like Los Angeles? This is startin to freak me out...

uh yeah.. ok, that and all the people that DIED during the war, you know, kinda reduced the world population.
