Unfortunately, this only applies to slowing the breeding of the intelligent, industrious members of society. Perhaps we can grow the size of the population of those members of society, but by encouraging them not to breed it seems unlikely.
Meanwhile, those less industrious, less intelligent members of society continue to pump out babies till the cows come home...
...even when I'm not using the application. No thanks. I'm not paranoid, but I see no reason for this application to have access to my information when I'm not logged in.
Can you imagine paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars on eBay for something that only exists in one of these games, then finding out a few weeks, months, or years later that it's going into the bit-bucket at the end of the month?
I sold one of my characters for several hundred dollars, but it was at the height of that particular game's lifespan. SWG characters may have been valued in the hundreds and thousands - I don't know, but if SOE is discontinuing service my guess is that the game is well past it's prime - and characters aren't valued for very much anymore.
Name a 5 liter american sedan it can beat off the line.
The only thing that comes to mind is a Chrysler 300 Hemi or Dodge Charger R/T (the same car) and let me assure you, that vehicle will smoke your 30 year old diesel. The Mercedes W126 from 1982 is rated at 15 seconds to 60. That compares favorably with basically no modern sedan, much less throwback muscle cars from Detroit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F4Bu4G3NR8 That's a 2.3L I4 Ford Fusion from 2008.
It's a fine automobile for its durability, but lets not go overboard.
Steve can compare apples to oranges if he likes (no pun intended). He certainly doesn't want to compare AppleTV to the Xbox in terms of, well, anything.
Roughly speaking terminal velocity is proportional to weight and inversely proportional to area perpendicular to the falling direction. This means that smaller objects tend to fall slower
It's not about density, but absent a proper coefficient of drag it's the best tool I have at my disposal. The latter half of this comment, that smaller objects tend to fall slower, is not correct. Given two objects of equal mass and proportional shape, the smaller will have a higher terminal velocity - they have equal acceleration due to mass, but unequal deceleration due to drag (favoring the smaller).
No, but it's density is about 2.18 g/cm3 - more than twice that of a human body. A flailing human hits Vt around 125 mph, so I think it's safe to assume somewhere upwards of that.

Vaporizing? If we wanted to vaporize brown people, it wouldn't have cost nearly as much money.
If your determining factor on a new phone is megapixels on the camera, a smart phone is probably not the market you're in.
I've not known anyone with an iPhone 4 (and I know quite a few) that have even noticed that issue.
I would. My 3G is tired as hell. I'd put the money down right now to be among the first in line.
Also, the fact that styrofoam melts at about 240C http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene#Extruded_polystyrene_foam

IIRC you can just tell your carrier to not allow third-party fees, which solves the problem.
I think the chart explains well enough why the "linear rising budget" is not a good indicator of anything.

Ignoring the fact that there are no facts, your math is wrong.
We should just give it to the poor instead. They'd never spend money on hookers, cocaine, or Chinese junk from Walmart.
Keeping combat troops serving overseas in moderate comfort for 10 years? Seems like money well spent to me.

I considered that he may not be referring to modern sedans, but GP makes a comparison to a "total shitbox new" on the next line.

To be fair, Dell's power adapter has been the same for about 7 years now.

What kind of light artillery has a range of 600 miles?
But terminal velocity is not about density.

Kitchen floor, hard. Bushes and dirt, soft.
No, but it's density is about 2.18 g/cm3 - more than twice that of a human body. A flailing human hits Vt around 125 mph, so I think it's safe to assume somewhere upwards of that.
It had a case on it, so scratches on the device itself shouldn't be an issue.
On the other hand, bushes and dirt are quite good at slowing a falling object down in a nonviolent manner.
