Problem with making a movie about EvE is that it would have to be several days long and for most of that time nothing at all would be happening; you'd just be watching some dude in his ship going through gate after gate after gate, the most exiting part would be when he jumped into a bubble camp and got shot podded and killed and then has to start his journey all over again.
The main differences between a nuclear weapon and a conventional one are that conventional weapons rely on chemical energy and usually require an oxidizer of some kind, which may or may not be built into the explosive compound itself. The main difference though is scale, even a small nuclear weapon in the single kiloton range is so much more powerful than a nuclear weapon with an equivalent yield.
For example to replicate the yield of even a 1kT nuclear blast you would have to move 604.594921 m3 of TNT, which is a lot. Add to this that most nuclear weapons yields of tens if not hundreds of kilotons.
Is it really that big of a surprise? I mean seriously it's been pretty clear for a while now (at least according to/.) that Facebook is pretty much handing out private user data to whoever asks.
However, the system might (that is a very cautious 'might') work alright for stuff like RTSs and it'll definitely work well for turnbased games, of course no-one ever plays those any more.
Speaking of which do we even know what games they'll offer?
I just wonder why the USAF just couldn't go directly to IBM and get a hold of a cell processor directly and then not have to worry about all the crap wrapped around it by the likes of Sony.
Effective Fusion generators first, then space travel.
Hell it turns out the moon is rich in Helium-3 which makes for ideal fuel for fusion reactors, so I suppose if we figure out fusion we'll have to go to the moon.
Oh, heck. Just drop a 48 tons of Creole seasoning in before the blast with a few hundred tons of corn and potatoes and we're done. We can just skip all the fisheries and just wait for dinner to come ashore.
And as an added bonus you might gain superpowers! Because that's what always happens when you ingest radioactive material.
Apparently he didn't consider Xbox a distraction when he was running in-game campaign ads on it.
I really don't think Obama considered the x-box an anything when he was running ads on it. Lots of people play x-box and thus lots of people see the ads on it so of course whoever was running the Obama campaign is going to advertise on it.
The thing that gets me is that they even NEED commercial like that, I mean what are they going to do? Get some North Korean or Iranian TV stations to run the add and hope a few warlords are watching.
It's called "Proof of Concept", in this case the concept being a new form of nano-machining, the fact they made a map of the earth (And the Matterhorn) was merely to show off.

How do you compile a compiler written in the language it compiles...
It's all Galactus' doing.

I want one. Why? No reason other than the fact these sorts of things are pretty damn cool, even if they still kinda suck.

Just nuke the damn thing, it's worked before and surely nothing can go wrong.

Also happy birthday laser!
I always heard that photosynthesis in plants relied on quantum tunneling, not quantum entanglement.
God: Who is this God? Even if he existed, what has he developed for computers? Nothing? Moving on.
Technically speaking, if God created man and man created computers, then God is responsible for all innovations in the field of Computing.
Stippers don't use utility poles, gotta watch out for splinters you know.
There's no oil on the moon!
They might create a dust spill or something, maybe a water or helium-3 spill.
That being said, us being humans I'm sure we'll find a way to make a horrible mess of the moon, even if it is just dust and rocks.
I wonder if they let players interface with those mining drones via the that NASA MMO
You are probably right about the FPSes.

Valve doesn't screw their customers.
ALL companies screw their customers, the question is whether or not they do it intentionally.
Eh no-one is 'loosing' these phones, it's all Apple's PR division doing sneaky stuff.

Actually finding out about this technique makes me wonder how humanity ever survived the Cold War.
Luck, mostly.

I'm sure it could. Whether or not it'd actually do anything but whirl the uranium around really, really fast is the real question.
How about double credit for playing Oblivion all the way to the end only using a bow?
Can I apply that to my Archery badge?
I did this, it's surprisingly easy.
