Geez. You know, until I read this thread, I thought I was pretty smart. I bow before your effortless use of terminology I still don't understand even after looking it up.
And then there's New York City, where the walk/don't walk lights are purely decorative, as everyone crosses however, whenever, and wherever they want, all the time. And the cabbies scream at you in Swahili and Icelandic no matter what.
Well c'mon, the wiring in the Sun is complex enough without having to do it in the dark. Obviously God turned the light off again after the Sun was burning nicely.
Close, but no cigar. The Universe is actually the ultimate firework. The Grand Finale. Imagine if you could see the universe's evolution, sped up tremendously. A huge blast, dissipating into countless trillions of sparks, swirling into fiery whirlpools of energy, structures so complex that you could spend a thousand lifetimes exploring them and never see everything. All the sparks dying away, but also forming new sparks as they go, but fewer and fewer... and finally, nothing left behind but the smoke trails, blowing away in the wind, as the band winds down.
I for one am shocked, SHOCKED, at this response. Don't these companies work logically, with policies dictated by common sense rather than a dogmatic fear of trying new things? Particularly companies like Warner, who as we all know prides itself on being at the cutting edge of business, striving always to find new ways to make music affordable and available to all-.. wait, what?
I sympathize. I actually got past the Reaper once. The original Castlevania was the last one I played, after I'd beaten 2 and 3. This was when I was 10 or so. Anyway, after I'd beaten him somehow, I forget why, I had to shut off the NES, or I had it turned off for me... can't remember which. I had managed to get to the third form of Dracula, too, but couldn't quite beat him. Maybe I ran out of continues. Anyway, I've never been able to beat the Reaper since then. Bastard.
Hey, it's a fact that there are a lot of obese kids (and adults) around. If playing on the Wii helps them get unfat, then that's a good thing, just like DDR exercise is a good thing.
ANYTHING that helps overweight people lose weight is probably a good thing, regardless of whether it indicates a "sorry state of society".
Same here. The local Target stores are still handing out preclaim tickets at 6 AM the morning before the shipments come in. Wiis never stay in stock more than a couple of hours at any retailer here (western Illinois).
what we need in this country is a law that says that congress can't vote themselves a raise without simultaneously increasing the minimum wage by the same percentage
So... you want to pay $10,000 for a candy bar, is that it?
Sorry. They taste the same. If you want to buy free-range chicken because you think it's the better thing to do from a moral standpoint, that's great. I can understand that and I do it myself (when there's a choice available). But don't do it for the flavor; there's no difference.
Perhaps this man was so convinced of Putin's evil that he poisoned himself and insisted very loudly that Moscow/Putin was responsible in order to put pressure on Putin.
It -is- a very good question. Most Christians don't believe in God, they believe in -belief- in God which is quite a different matter. And in most religions, that is good enough to get you the carrot.
And to further answer the GP's question, there's been plenty of time since the Big Bang for this process to happen (several times). Large stars burn through their fuel much faster than well-behaved dwarf stars like our sun. I believe that a supergiant star can complete its lifecycle in about 15 million years. That means that if current estimates on the age of the universe are correct, that it could have happened over 900 times by now, assuming a perfect linear succession of supergiant stars. The real estimate is probably much closer to a couple hundred, but there has certainly plenty of time for all the heavy elements in our planet (and the rest of the solar system) to have formed in the hearts of stars since the Big Bang.

I know that used to work for Visual Studio. Did it ever work for Windows, too?
*sigh* Times are tough.
You're not alone.

Belkin did this on their home routers a while back, too. I still tell customers and clients to avoid Belkin's networking gear because of that.

Prove you're not programmed to do the same :)
My own pet theory is that Dumbledore is a Phoenix animagus. Death would hardly be the end for him.

You bastard, I just blew an unhealthy quantity of Coke right out my nose.

I just give them a different random number each time.
You are all insane.
That was actually the second game that had the dragon bot.
The first game wasn't too bad until the Rock Monster in Wily's castle. I've never been able to beat that bastard without using the subscreen trick.
I bought the Megaman collection for the Gamecube and was pleased to find the subscreen trick still worked if you use the "Quit Game" option.
The difference is that this will operate down to 14% humidity. So in other words, you could stick it in the desert and keep the troops watered.
You could distribute it to villages with bad water sources.
In fact... this thing could be a pretty big deal if it's cheap enough to produce.
