Half an hour of greatness? Preadtor crash tackles an alien. Maybe a little saucer underneath the cup, that's it. That was the sole good thing about that film. The (non queen) Aliens and the Predators looked right, but that's about all that was faithful to either franchise... 25minute incubations? Predators that are total pussies and use the self distruct bomb as a throw-away weapon? The arm bomb working when not attached to the suit? IT'S IN THE FREAKING SNOW!
Yes, the Wassenaar agreement and the "Free Trade" (aka choke down our ip laws or i bankrupt your economy) agreements require we enact copycat laws to match the US's. All of course without the safe-guards of fair use, such as personal backups, format shifting etc.
It's pedantic because of course hydrogen isn't an energy source. Neither is oil, Neither is the sun. THERE IS NO ENERGY SOURCE. There is $foo energy in the universe, it's been here since the big bang. Some of it's flying around as radiation, most of it's conveniently stored as hydrogen and helium floating around the universe. So all the whiners complaining that "it's not an energy source it's storage, the sun is the source / dinosaurs are the source / etc etc" are dickheads. I agree with the GP 100%.
So do you. Why else exactly do you think you have to keep drinking it?

And you've just shown yours. The 360 has no backwards compatibility whatsoever. However they are porting the executables (not the data) of some of the more popular games to give the illusion of limited backwards compatibility. So it's not like they're patching up the existing executables to add new functionatlity, they're just new executables loading the data from the XBOX 1 discs.
No, they still do it, but now so do all the other console companies because it cuts down on casual piracy, which scares off developers. That, and they no longer have anything resembling a monopoly.
Greenpeace is only interested in selling Greenpeace. The founder of the organisation who IIRC quit in disgust, says nuclear is the way to go. What more do you need? And the waste really is an issue, but only politically. Reprocessing most of the waste is possible, and it's really not hard to store what's left until we can afford to clean it up / launch it, but it needs to be stored above ground to be safe. Politics-through-fear and the current boogeyman of the mysterious Men-In-Towels currently blocks both reprocessing and above ground storage.
Gates has said that the reason they (microsoft) are against blu-ray is the evil DRM on the disc. So of course Sony and the ??AA members will back it. But just think for a minute-- Imagine how evil DRM needs to be before Microsoft says it's too much?. Microsoft aren't going to be the only losers if HD-DVD gets eaten by Blu-ray and the media machine.
_You_ do realise that indian and pakistani are (generalising) opposite ends of the spectrum right? (still generalising) Indians are mainly seihks(sp?), pakistan is a muslim country, and they've got as much history of aggression as the muslims and the israelites if not more. Apu is an Indian Hindu for what it's worth. And yes it would be interesting to see wether the muslim Simpsons keeps friendly smiling non-evil characters such as Apu and Krusty who in the eyes of many muslims are the enemy.

It's still only christian schools, but it's here. In the US the christian schools are honest and just call a spade a spade (or religion religion)

"Kernal" seems to be an acceptable spelling in the US. I believe it's the fault of the C=64.
Eclipse is a monstrous, horrible piece of software that I hope to never need to use again. IntelliJ forever!
Could this be the vi/emacs argument for the 00's?
Yes I remember. Like most of the PS2 launch specs / promises / bullshit, that was a flat out lie perpertrated by Sony.

XBOX 360 will play pictures and music from a Windows XP machine, but will only stream video from Media Center.

Sounds like you need to spend some time with a DS, the bottom screen looks great.
