Make a high-performance gaming rig, get a decent processor and get dual graphics cards. Dedicate a single room to be your main entertainment area. Get 3 40" flat panel TV's. Personally I use Samsung LED-LCD because they're cheap(er) and I already had one. Hook them up and have some fun with that. I'd also suggest getting a surround sound system if you feel like adding that on. Dont forget to build a table (or find tables of the same height for your comfortable viewing), and line them all up correctly. This should provide the proper "Command Center" feel without sacrificing utility. The gear combination will be able to compensate for any consoles you may have and extra things you may want to do. The irony is that this whole set up I speak of is still cheaper than a lot of Apple desktops.......
Last I checked, a lot of biological systems stop working when you dont have gravity. Especially things like immune systems. So if this is the case, I think light would be the least of your worries.
I will never understand why people don't stop to think that PERHAPS religion and science are meant to work together. They are talking about the same universe after all..
Pregnancy carries risk for the mother as well, and giving birth to an unwanted child of rape causes psychological damage and harm to the mother's life.
On top of that the mothers behaviour during pregnancy can harm the child, e.g. by smoking. Some people do advocate making smoking during pregnancy illegal. More generally though in order for a child to be born healthy there is a lot that the mother needs to do to avoid the many risks, and by not allowing abortion is the mother also obliged to do those things? Give up her job perhaps, take time off even if she can't afford it? Pay for medical care?
The situation is so complex and varied I think the only thing we can do is give women (and men) a choice and then support their decision as best we can.
Amen to this. The complexities of the issue cause this to be something that can simply not be cut and dry. People want it to be so black and white, and that just simply can't happen with circumstances like these.
Hell, even the failures tend to produce valuable information when it comes to projects like these. Think of all the spin-off stuff that was created simply because of NASA research?
Everyone here is confused, but to me this makes sense. After all, "The enemy of my enemy, is my friend". Either way, it's beneficial to everyone. Hopefully they'll end up annihilating each other in the process.
It seems there were some attempts to make a Wolf3D source port, but nothing really major. Seems there was better luck making a "remake" of it as an overhaul mod for ZDoom. Just google Wolf3D TC for ZDoom and you should be able to find it.
Yes because when I think of someone with a 'terminal illness' I think automatically of someone who is able-bodied and can handle the extreme environments and situations related to being in space.
If anything, that might be what it would take to actually finally protest and solve the problem. Hell make a holiday out of it "Pirate a CD day" where EVERYONE mails a copy of their favorite artist/movie to the MAFIAA! I sure a couple DOZEN bins of copied materials would probably make it really interesting.
I would think it would. It'd make for the ultimate recyclable bottle. If it's hydrophobic and is self-cleaning, at that point you give them a simple scrub and they're back to being reused.
The real question to me would be durability. If I drop my beer, is it going to go everywhere, or stay in the bottle? I suppose at that point, if you think of the other comments in this section, it'd make for some interesting effects.....
Apparently it has been the norm for decades. Clearly, this has got to change, but the real question is how? People have gotten so absorbed by their jobs that they don't even have a life to live anymore.
More likely UAC, because you are the demons when it comes to towing around a gigantic rock.... I suppose.
Okay okay, yeah the cost of doing all of this the first time is unlikely to be profitable. However, the first time doing stuff like this hardly ever is in the immediate short term. Think about our first missions to the moon, just the technology we got in the process of those initial missions made future missions possible because of the amount of spinoff of new ideas from this one endeavor. If they manage to accomplish this, regardless of the outcome, I think it will be a major change to the world as a whole.
Also, information works both ways. If you know your citizens are on the eve of mass riots, you might get radical changes before any actual violence begins.
Heh you put it very well indeed. I never thought about that side of the coin really. If it can be stated and shown without major incident, you may be right. Best of all, even the possibility of that is something that shows how far we've gotten. At least there is a chance.
The real question is how far are people willing to go to do something about it? Will it be truly peaceful, or will we end up having to get into a civil war with our own military first?

Yeah I could see this happening more than anything else.

Well... I suppose if you call a computer that old 'running'. More like walking at a leisurely pace.
Your statement is invalid, you actually pay attention to these things.

Will it blend?

I want something close to this for gaming! It'd be nice to play ANYTHING with a high-level of detail to ambient sounds.
I would like to think that disobedience against IP law could come in the form of abusing the courts to bully consumers as well.
Now this means when I break my phone I can't use the cracked screen anymore.

I thought we were in some kind of mouse-induced experiment on humans? To my knowledge, they've been lord over us for a while now.

There goes another monkey in the name of science! I hope the pilot managed to stay in one piece......
Has this turned into a military style of "who's got the bigger pen0r?"
US: I am casting magic missle.... at the DARKNESS! China: *sighs and rolls the dice*
