I buy a new NFL/NCAA football every 3 or 4 years, I'm with you on this. Sequels *aren't* a bad thing; more of the same, only slightly better, is good too, as long as it was good in the first place, and as long as you're also working on different things. Final Fantasy 25 may be just as good as Spore, if it's done well. We need the sequels too, not just the visionaries.
Most of the EA sports titles are up around 10-12 sequels, at this point.
And, to be fair, every single Final Fantasy game has had sigificant differences, albeit typically with connecting themes. Even X-2 had significant differences in system/style from FFX.
Ejecting at hypersonic speeds is *always* more dangerous than hoping your vehicle doesn't blow up. Your vehicle might not blow up. Unprotected exposure to hypersonic flow is generally contraindicated for humans.
On the other hand, the Shuttle lacks a good supersonic ejection capability. The crew escape mechanism works at subsonic speeds, but at supersonic it's a more risky maneuver. However, the mid-deck seats are *inside* the fuselage. Working a supersonic ejection capability in for mid-deck is probably unfeasible, certainly unfeasible given the plans for the Shuttle.
Oooh, look, it's Myself. I know you, in the real world. You going to Notacon this year?
Besides the telcos, high end audio mixing boards have incorporated pluggable per-channel modules for a while now. I had a TASCAM 1604 for a while that was all per-channel modular, and most of the *really* good mixers, pre-digital, were all modular. Take a chassis, throw in some channel modules, some bus modules, and a master section, and you have a mixer. Need more channels? Fill up that chassis! Look at old Crest and Soundcraft boards especially, for whatever reason the Brits really liked it.
Then you have modular synths, which (as the name implies) also rely on modules, running from a common power rail. Some of the designs I've seen incorporated fun features like common timing and control rails as well. And of course, those were based off the granddaddy, analog computers. Again, modular.
Blades are an old idea. Congrats to the IT industry on figuring out what real engineers have known for forever.
The hell with that. It's XP, using whatever hardware comprises a Centrino chipset with 802.11g, and a Netgear WRT614 or something like that. Work laptop, so even if I liked Linux (I *don't*) I couldn't put it on there. Stream is going through one plaster wall, one thin wood wall, and traveling ~35-40 feet.
Used to be true, really isn't anymore. Writers and reporters use whatever they want, or whatever their publication pays for. It's only the DTP/layout folks who are still Mac-centric.
Now, the fact that most of them like having a laptop, since reporting involves movement, and that Apple happens to make some of the nicer laptops out there...
Furthermore I think that in many conditions ABS will break your car faster. Particularly on wet surfaces as the moving wheels will continue to pump water away from under the wheels and ensure that the car doesn't begin to "surf". (I'm not sure what the english term for this is wrt cars.)
Power-assist pretty much makes your point immaterial - sure, my hands don't have the strength to stop a car... but they don't need to. That's what the hydraulics are for.
You realize that modern Hebrew is often written without the vowel markings, although including vowel characters, right? While liturgical texts usually include vowel markings, including the hand-written text that forms a set of Torah scrolls, most secular writings don't.
While your point is correct (the Old Testament wasn't written by a single writer, nor in a single period of time), your using the "form without vowels" argument isn't providing any strength to your point.
See, if you have easy access to space like that, I'd define that as part of your living space. You can tolerate a smaller living space because you have a seperate work space. If I had a seperate work space for doing things, I could tolerate significantly less than the 120 m^2 I live in.
You get the pity for free, though. Everyone likes free things.
Seriously. 160 square feet is not acceptable to most people - you've conditioned yourself to like it, which is fine for you, but people condition themselves to like all sorts of stupid things.
Wouldn't work. Musicians who don't work in the session musician model really don't fit candidacy for union membership; the union would be paying out way too much in relation to intake if they offered to cover any musician, and if they only covered "published" musicians, you run into a rats nest of issues with what constitutes publication. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, and AFM is fine with saying "Hey, if you want to come join us, we'll talk, but we're not going to seek out indie rock bands and sign them up."
Remember - while many actors and technicians are unionized, the smallest ones are not, and the unions don't plan to change this. They have no reason to.
Further, how many small bands are going to be into unionizing? Hell, white collar employees like engineers can't even get a union together, why would random bands?
(Disclaimer: I worked as an IATSE stringer for a while, have designed for Equity shows, and remain active in non-Equity theater.)
Why don't musicians unionize? It seems to have worked out pretty well for actors. That's a solution to your problems.
They have. It's called the American Federation of Musicians. Mostly protects working/session musicians, just like SAG, Equity, and IATSE are mainly for working theatrical/movie people, not so much for stars.
Having less space means that you can't do much inside your home. I silk-screen, I've done photo shoots, I can have a dinner party and invite over 6 or 8 friends. You can't do any of them; you simply don't have the space. Like I said - I pity you.

We just need them not to suck.

I dated a girl from Grand Rapids for a while... area code 616.
So yes, 616 *is* the number of the Beast. At least, once you add in 7 other digits.
Not to mention the only thing going digital would have saved you is the initial scanning.
I do all the rest of it, and I shoot digital.

No. We have a justice system.
Sadly, it doesn't always work as well as we'd like. That doesn't change the intent - the intent is to provide justice, not to provide legality.
Or would you argue that China is a democratic country just because the populace can vote?
Hey, I didn't say he didn't deserve it.
Eric Schmidt was smart enough to say "Yes, I will be Google's CEO."
That's what he's done to earn $502M.
My favorite processor errata was for the engineering sample release of the Motorola PowerPC PPC5554 "Copperhead" embedded processor.
...., 30x, 31x, 32x.
The clock multiplier was software-settable as a 5 bit value. I.E. you could have a multiplier from your crystal of 1x, 2x, 3x,
Bits 1, 2, and 3 could be set normally. Bits 0 and 4, however, could not be changed.
At all.
How they managed to make only the middle 3 bits of a 5 bit register accessible, I have no idea.

If the wireless is otherwise dead, I've had success streaming DVD video over 802.11g. 100BaseT to the router, then g to the display device.
Why wouldn't you buy a Mac for everything else, and dual-boot for games?

Hydroplaning is the term you're looking for.

NASA PAO, from personal experience having worked there, doesn't talk to non-press. And non PAO don't talk to anyone they don't know.

Then it doesn't count, but you can't say "If I want to work on this, I just go over to my parents." 3 hours by train isn't a 'just'.

Most likely they meant 10 m^2, not 10 meters square (100 m^2).
The difference between the two is fairly large.
(By the way, my *mattress* is around 2 m^2. If you genuinely live in 15 m^2, I pity you - humans should have more room to breathe than that.)
